My Bros

I have the two greatest brothers anybody could want. They started out very different as little kids, but are now a lot alike. Tyson was aggressive from the start and had to learn to be gentle, while Sullivan was born gentle, and learned how to be aggressive when he needed to be. But they are both great guys, with a nice mix of drive, work ethic, kindness, and consideration for others. And they're both a ton of fun!

Mom and my bros being goofy (This is actually normal.)
(I don't know why this picture and the next are so small. It looks like I just love Sulli best. But I didn't mean to discriminate like this!!!)

Tyson is older and is attending college at Utah State. He went on a mission to Texas, and I heard more from him during the two years he was gone (via family emails) than I have since, that's for sure! I love it when Tyson and I are both in Cokeville at the same time, but I don't get much sleep! Seems like we end up staying up late talking about life quite often. I have a lot of respect for Tyson and all he has accomplished. He's multi-talented. He's a great athlete, super smart, musically talented (playes piano, drums, guitar, and organ all quite well), and funny. I'm sure that whatever he chooses to do with the rest of his life, he'll do it well.
Tyson is an awesome uncle!

Sullivan is ten years younger than me and was always my little buddy. We used to love to play games together. I remember when I was about 16 or so and was starting to spend a lot of my free time with my friends, he came to me one day and said, "You never have time for me anymore." Ahhh. It broke my heart. It's been fun to watch Sulli grow up. Although some things about him have changed over time, the thing that has always remained constant is that he is a good kid. He just has a good heart. He never loses his temper. Actually, I'm not sure he even has a temper. He's a freshman at Western Wyoming and will go on a mission this summer. (And he's one handsome devil, as you can see in the picture below.)

I love my brothers, and am so proud of them. I feel lucky to have such great brothers!

I'm pretty sure they NEVER look at it. Here's the test. Tyson or Sulli, if you look at this blog, send me a text.
