My dad's birthday is in early September, but I don't have a single picture of my dad on my computer. So, he doesn't get one. I'm grateful for my dad. He has some amazing qualities, and he's definitely passed some of those on to my siblings.
Hunter's birthday is on the 25th (along with my cousin, Emily!). He turned 25. I really am so grateful for Hunter. He is such a great brother, and sometimes I'm amazed I'm related to such a good person. This is Hunter driving the boat at Deep Creek in August. Paige O. is in the foreground!
Spencer's birthday is just the next day on the 26th. Spencer is a wonderful person. Basically everybody that knows him and meets him recognizes this. He is busy with his crazy family right now, and I know he's being a great dad.
And now we have Sierra! Sierra's birthday is on the 27th. She turned 28 this year. My birthday is in July, so I always hit the new age just right before her. I remember talking to Sierra on my 20th birthday and we both admitted to each other that we had been telling people we were 20 for the last couple months. Sometimes it's just easier to lie. I was doing this with my last birthday too. 28 just seems like an age that makes more sense to be than 27 (maybe it's the odd number that throws me off??). So, last night I was talking to Sierra and she tells me what a friend of Alli's (Sierra's daughter) says to her mom (Sierra's friend). Daughter says to mother: "Alli's mom thinks Alli is four, but Alli knows she is five." Alli has convinced her friends that she is 5 and apparently has inherited this tendency to lie about her age since she doesn't turn five until January.
This is a bad picture of Sierra and I, but it's the only one I've got. Sierra has been one of my closest friends for 10 years. I am so grateful for her and feel we could be sisters!
This is a picture of Alli. The girl is hilarious. I love talking to her. Her language abilities are amazing! I remember having full conversations with the girl when she was two. She was speaking in complete sentences at two! She's such a fun girl and so smart and inquisitive.

Thank you for the birthday dedication. Um...Did you have to put a pregnant picture of me on your blog? I could have sent you a better one... I didn't know you had so many family birthdays around mine. It's a popular time of year, you know.
