Brendon,

I remember you when you were a tiny baby of only a couple pounds! We were so worried that you wouldn't be strong enough to push forward and live! But you did! And then you became the cutest, chubbiest, little thing and we ALL fell in love! Over the years I have watched you, been in awe of your talents, your joy for life, and your love and respect for your family! Now here we are, at your graduation, a big night, a big change, dreams and hopes, a momentous occasion! You aren't that little boy anymore and that makes me sad but also very happy! You've come so far in life. Your life is truly a gift, something that was so fragile is now something so strong and full. May your feet take you down a path that will bring you all the joy you deserve! I'm proud to be your aunt!!!

surprise!!!

Kelly is now the big 4-0! Wow! That sounds OLD! We were in Disney Land for his birthday so i planned in advance to throw him a SURPRISE birthday party when we got back! I knew it would have to be something really good! While talking to my friend one day, she came up with the idea of getting a sushi chef to come to our house! I thought that would be perfect concidering Kelly's love of sushi! So the theme arose from that-a Japanese sushi party! I contacted old friends from high school, co-workers, friends in the neighborhood, and family! I found a great sushi chef and sent out invites! It was one of the hardest parties to arrange because it was a surprise and I had to be very sneeky which included lots of lies!!! I would get emails sent to our home address or texts that I thought he might look at. I made up stories galore! I hid decorations, had Bailey lie too, and was a little stressed about invites coming back in the mail that had been sent to old addresses! CRAZY! Well, the day of was a good day because I could finally let go, decorate and embrace the project. I made paper fans, Bailey made oragami cranes, I made two of Kelly's favorite desserts (which i hid at our friend's house in her fridge!) I had friends and family help with food-what a relief! I had our good friends make up a "plan" to keep Kelly away from home till 6:45. It was all arranged! I even had everyone park their cars at our neighbor's house at the top of the hill. Kelly came home, saw his buddy's truck, the fans in our windows, and many of the clues started to fall into place sence. But he was really, really happy that we were all there to surprise him and show just how much we love him! He said he was on a high for two days after! I loved seeing all our wonderful friends all in one place! It was seriously the best party we've had! Kelly is so blessed to have such wonderful friends, family and associates! My friend Erika took polaroid pictures all night to put in a scrap book! It's fun to see all the smiles and read the comments...it was a very memorable night! Oh! And the sushi was amazing!!!!
