Happy Birthday Dave and My 8

So today 27 years ago my little brother was born and my life has never been the same! ;) I know that he doesn't read the blog cause he sees us 3-4 times a week, but on the off chance that he decides to.... Dave even though you drive me crazy (which I know you take pleasure in) I love you and I'm glad you are a part of mine and my children's lives. Have a Great Day! My life would have been really boring without you growing up. And I have been tagged...
