My Boys

For those of you who don't know I am the youngest of 4 and the only girl. Regardless of popular belief I'm not completely spoiled rotten.  I grew up knowing very well how to handle being teased, how to get dirty and just the right tone to add to "Dad! The boys are being mean!"  

I've been teased to tears, tickled until I nearly peed, and heaven help anyone who took me on a date in high school if the boys knew about it. Which they usually did. 

I spend a good chunk of time wondering what it would be like to have sisters instead of brothers. 

The teasing hasn't stopped but I wouldn't trade the boys for the best sisters in the world. No matter how alone I feel as I stand to fight {well, pretty much anything} I know that they are right behind me ready to do whatever needs to be done from late night conversations while working graveyard shift to making it so I always feel welcome including everything in between and beyond. 

I love my boys. {not the best picture of any of us but I don't care}

Oh, and Happy Birthday Mom!
