Fact # 10

I'm envious of my brother's/sister's... They all have a quality, skill, beauty, or talent I wish I had. James-although you are like my 2nd father; I still have envy over you. 1-Your patience. You have 4 kids and yet I have never seen you frazzled. Amazing. I have one son and he can frazzle me at the drop of a hat. I'm sure you get frustrated, but it's never seen on the surface. 2-Your ability to draw, create, sketch, craft...If I had at least one of those qualities, do you know what I could/would create? I would be a millionaire! 3-Computer savvy. I only know how to read, and write a blog post. Oh and the occasional email. I don't know how to do the fancy smancy editing, attach the right wires, or know how to rig something to work. 4-Your free spirit. This kind of ties in to #1...you are your own person...no swaying by media, friends, or peer pressure... 5-Endless knowledge about everything... Emily- 1-You have an amazing heart. So kind, sweet, generous...accepting of anyone and everyone. 2-I don't think I have ever seen you look bad. No matter what you're doing, where you're going, or who you're going with...you always look good. 3-Your ability to get up and go anywhere in the world. No worries. The drive to see the world and actually doing it...maybe one time I can join you on your excursion. 4-Your ability to cook and bake...and your patience for it! Yes I'm slowly cooking more, but you've always seemed to enjoy it and I wish I had that drive. 5-Endless knowledge about everything... Kip- 1-You're ability to fix a car, light switch, plumbing...anything. You can fix and repair anything you come across. Some way, some how you know how to fix things you've never done before. 2-Your big heart. You have taken on and accepted a lot by allowing Andersen and I to move in. I can't thank you enough for allowing this crazy change. You will do anything for anyone, anytime. 3-Your sense of humor. Never fails to make me or Andersen laugh. You're quick to respond with something that will make the whole room burst out in laughter. 4-You're chill. You don't seem to let things bother you. You're mentality is that life is too short to get upset over the little things. 5-Endless knowledge about everything...(you kick butt in Jeopardy all.the.time) Hannah- 1-Your hair. I hate that you have thick hair. So envious of this. And the fact that it grows like a weed. Stupid pregnancy, multiple highlights, and flat ironing have left my hair thin and limp...or maybe that's due to genetics...mom? 2-You're also smart...(notice the trend here). You know so much about animals. No matter if it's a horse, dog, cat or a raccoon...you know them inside and out. 3-You followed your dream. You have always loved horses...and guess what...you kept with it and are doing what you love. 4-You're ability to not give a rat's ass about what people think about you. I don't think I have ever seen you follow a trend other than mine! HA! 5-Endless knowledge about everything... So as you can see, there are a lot of things about my brother's/sister's that I'm envious of. I could go on about each of them but I won't as my reader's are fully aware of all of their qualities, talents, and knowledge that make them unique and wonderful. **disclaimer** If I mentioned something about one person; it DOES NOT mean I don't think that about someone else...Just trying to make the list more individualized..

Second father, huh. That a good or bad thing? Many of these things that you say you are envious of, I would use to describe you...

I agree with James and Keely. :) And you're a terrific Mom, which is no small feat. I too am enjoying your blogs. I don't get on all the time either just because I'm so busy, so sometimes I have to play catch-up.

James-I'm still deciding on that one...depends on the topic to which you preach to me :)
