enjoying the journey

{brother time}

i just absolutely love these two! i took this picture sometime in the summer and just found it on my camera and it compelled me to do a little sisterly bragging about my brothers!

karston (9) - anthony (15)

aren't they handsome?! i sure think so! especially with those boston hats on! anything red sox makes everything better, right?!

i love this picture because we took it on fathers day and i can't help but think that one day these two boys will be dads and i will get to be a very proud aunt of some good looking little darlings. i know i am getting WAY ahead of the times here though so lets focus on the now....

this kid is a sophomore in high school now...weird!! anthony is a stud who is dang good at baseball! he is such a hard worker and has the biggest heart! even though he is my younger brother he watches out for me just like an older brother would. i have even pulled him out of bed late in the night a few times to come run an errand with me because i didn't want to go alone! i used to be able to wrestle him and keep him in a headlock...then he grew six inches and gained twenty five pounds and now i can only get him to the ground when he decides to let me. nevertheless..i love him just the same!

here is karston! he is a little genius and is ALWAYS thinking about things and coming up with "inventions" and ideas. i found him sleeping like this onr morning and couldn't help taking a picture because he looks like he is pondering about something while he sleeps...it honestly wouldn't surprise me! he is an absolute goon and is constantly looking for ways to make anyone around him laugh. on sunday he taught me how to fart with my armpit haha i haven't laughed as hard as i was in a LONG time! he hates shirts and when i say hate i mean it. the second he gets home from school he drops his backpack and peels his shirt off instantly. just another thing that makes him kartson!

they love fulfilling their "brotherly duties" of teasing me and trying to bug me and sometimes they do a really good job! i can't ever stay mad at them for long though because if i do they show up in my room and start singing me some absurd song or find some way to make me crack a smile! they are always there to give me some love and for that i am forever grateful! i sure do love my brother time!
