Happy Birthday Little Mikey...... and 1/2 mark!!!!!

It is my little brother Michael's birthday. He has turned the big 20. He is on his mission in Thailand and so this marks his half mark as well. My family got to talk to him today for mother's day and said that he is sounding really good. Here are a "few" pictures of Mike that I think explains his personality pretty well....... I love it because I can post whatever I want and because he is on his mission and can't look I can say whatever I want and don't have to worry about getting in trouble:).

This is little Mikey for his missionary pics. Isn't he such a handsome little guy:).
This picture was taken up in the Tetons. We went to go and do an all day hike up to a lake. Don't you worry Little Mikey always had to be up front. There is no taking your time to look at the scenery or just take a break, you have to keep on the move with him. He is like my dad in that respect, so you just let them go up and just catch up later:). Sometimes I wonder what he is like as a missionary and having a companion all the time:).
This was a sibling family shot taking right before he left on his mission. His face is so funny to me it says exactly what you would think of when you think of growing up as an only boy with four sisters. Need I say more!:)
This picture was taken after the BYU bowl game in Las Vegas. Mike is the biggest BYU fan ever!!!!!! I swear that he is going to be the old guy who they honor at the first of the game for being the biggest and longest BYU fan. He is a fanatic!!!! When BYU looses, you can expect tears and a very ornery boy:)
This was taken in Yellowstone. He is my bud, I just love the kid to death!!! We had times where you can say we did not like each other much, but for the most part he has always been my little buddy. Notice the BYU hat:)
Avid skier. It is kind of ironic that the best ski season in years is the year that he is on his mission. This is a picture of my Dad, Alec and Mike skiing Park City. There is no messing around when it comes to skiing for him. The winter before he left he was sporting two season passes and I think basically lived, ate and drank skiing.
This was taken outside of the Giants stadium when he came to visit us. He is also a huge baseball fan. We used to go to his baseball games and watch our star brother play. It was one of the best things to do on a summer night. He was really good. We like to call him Little Mikey and as we would watch and yell that he would become upset with us...... I guess we were ruining his masculine persona.

Well there is just a little birthday shout out to little Mikey. We sure love him and can't wait to see him in a year and counting!!! Happy Birthday Mike, we love you!!!!
