Small 5

Brett has to constantly compare himself to his closest cousin in age and location: Matt. He loves to wear Matt's old clothes and shoes and will constantly say how Matt's sandals make him fast. Jabon and I tell him they are his sandals now, but there is no convincing this boy. I had to give Brett a 'Matt' haircut. And now, with them both having heart doctors, it just adds fuel to Brett's fire.

Matt is 5 and so is Brett. Brett is a good 2 inches shorter than Matt. Each phone call he got on his birthday, you would hear him say, "I'm 5. Matt is a big 5, I'm a small 5." If he could see you, he would then stand up on his tippie toes and say this is him as a big 5.

I think he fully expected to be as tall as Matt the instant he woke up on his birthday. The kid is crazy.

Thanks for his birthday wishes!

Happy 5th Birthday, Brett!!

Happy birthday (yesterday) to Brett. Can you believe he was ever this small, Tara? Even if he is just a Small 5. (I'll let you tell that story, Tara.)

Announcements

Just in case anyone needed reminding....

Peter and Genica are having their baby soon. Genica will be induced February 24. HOORAY!!!

If we are still in this ward in June, Abby will be baptized June 19th. We'll let you know if the date changes.

Heather and James are getting married in Glacier Park on August 19th.

I'm just putting these dates out there. Everyone is welcome to come hang out with us in June. We'll let you sleep on the floor.

I do think it's funny that each of these events happen around other special events: Our new nephew will be born just after JC's birthday. Abby will be baptized on Pete and Genica's anniversary. Heather and James are getting married on Lori's birthday.

I guess some dates are special all the time, for lots of reasons. Josh just guesses some dates just come around once every year.
