Happy 21st Brandon!!

Yesterday my brother turned the BIG 21 !!! I can't believe he is 21 already, my how time flies and they grow up so fast! We went out last night to celebrate at Margarita's. My brother isn't the huge type to want to go out and party and drink it up on his 21st. We keep his birthday low key with some family and friends. I did tell him he had to order an alcoholic beverage though, HAHA! My brother also isn't a big drinker or I should say never drinks, so his first drink he decided he wanted to order was strawberry daiquiri. He really seemed to enjoy it and when I looked back to see how he was doing on drinking it he was just sucking it down! LOL. He even ordered a 2nd drink, WOW! I was debating on weather I should make him take a shot of something but my hubby said no I shouldn't do that, so of course I was the nice sister and didn't do that to him. But it sure would have been funny! 

I had a good time celebrating with him last night and he seemed to enjoy himself as well. Good times!

I made him a chocolate cake, it turned out super yummy but very sweet. But that's okay everyone did enjoy it. Recipe to come soon!

 First drink being 21!

 Having a drink with my brother, still crazy he can go out drinking with me now. HAHA!

 All us siblings! 

Having fun with his friends. 

Happy Birthday Brandon!!

It totally passed my mind that I didn't wish my brother a Happy Birthday on my blog this year. 

Don't worry I did remember his birthday the day it came. :)

My brother turned the big 20 on Thursday January 10th. We all went out on Sunday the 13th to celebrate with him. We went to dinner at Margarita's his favorite place. We did gifts and cupcakes there as well. 

It was a nice dinner with the family!

Opening gifts, my brother lost all his socks and for some strange reason he hasn't went and got more. 

So, this year our Grandma, Shane and I all got him a packages of socks! LOL. 

 Shane and I also got him a couple of long sleeve shirts.

 These are the cupcakes Shane and I made for his birthday. The cake and the frosting are all made from scratch. They turned out super yummy! Recipe to come shortly.

Hopefully my brother had a good birthday this year! :)

Happy Birthday to my Brother!!!

I can't believe that today my little brother is 19 years old!! It's so crazy that he is all grown up now. Kinda makes me sad. LOL. I'm so proud of him though. He graduated from high school and he works full time with my sister. I love seeing him grow up but it sad too. I remember him being a brat as a kid calling me names and stuff and now he's this quiet man just hanging out. LOL :) I love him so much I can't even express.

Since his birthday was during the week we celebrated his big day on Sunday. We went out to dinner to Margarita's, can you tell my whole family loves this place. LOL. Then we headed back to our place to do cake, ice cream and gifts. It was a good evening spending with our family. We don't get to do that as often as we should so when we do get together it's a good time.

my niece made the cake and cake pops for his bday. They were awesome!

 The table all set up

 The birthday boy!

 Opening gifts

 Make a wish

 The family, aren't we cute :)

 My brother and me. Happy Birthday!!!

Brandon's Graduation Day!!

My brother did it! he graduated high school. He attend Staley High School and graduated on Sunday May 22, 2011. I'm so proud of him. He has grown up to be a handsome man! It's still hard to believe my little brother is grown up and out of high school. I still remember the days of him running around the house in his underwear calling me names and getting soap put in his mouth for it....wow how the time flies and he's all grown up!
He does want attend college in the fall. He wants to work with computers (that's his love). He's very good with computers right now so I can image once he goes to school and gets his degree. He will hopefully find a great job! Shane and I are going to take him next month to go talk to someone at Devry to see what classes he needs to take. He's very excited about this!

Congrats to the Staley Class of 2011....HATS OFF GRADUATES!!!!

Brandon's Graduation Party

Today I had my brother's graduation party. It turned out to be a good party with the family. It turned out to be a nice day so we got to be inside and out. It was a little hot but at least it wasn't cold. :) Tomorrow is his graduation day. I'm so proud of my little brother and I can't wait to see him get his diploma.

Here are some pictures from his party. He looks so grown up in his cap and gown....And yes I did almost cry when he put it on for the first time. I know I'm a baby. LOL But I can't help it!

His cake was made by my friend Krystl Reynolds. I think she did a great job on it and it was very yummy to eat! 

Class of 2011 - Brandon

It's that time of year Graduation. It's hard to believe that my little brother is graduation from High School this weekend. I'm such a proud sister! I took him out in April to shoot his Senior pictures. We did some at his school Staley High School and we also went downtown and to do some. I had such a fun time doing these. I wanted to share a few of my favorites. I took over 50 pictures so here are just a few to share with you.
We are having his Graduation party on Saturday the 21st. Let's hope it's nice out so we can enjoy being outside. Then his graduation is Sunday. Wow it's so crazy to think he will be out of High School. I will be doing this all again next year b/c my little sister will be graduating in 2012. Holy Moly where did the time go! :)

I will be taking my sister out this summer to do some of her Senior pictures.

So stayed tuned for post on hers!
