How did this happen to a sweet young thing like me?! Aren't I still that spring chicken that........nevermind. This isnt supposed to be about me.
Here's a boy that was always quick to smile, until that puberty thing set in. Now we have to work a tad harder to get a smile. (I think the 3 1/2 yrs of wearing braces also cramped his style as well) But I digress.Brian was a wonderful baby who was loved and adored by all his brothers and sister.
'Easy-street' should have been his middle name-instead of Romney-though Romney is a great name too. Its a name he should carry with pride.
I dont recall a moments grief being caused by this sweet baby or toddler.
Things you should know about Brian-
*It seems that he needs at LEAST 10 hours of sleep each day.
*He's very athletic and more coordinated than a body has the right to be.
*He's very tenderhearted. Im sure Im not supposed to mention such things for all the world to read, but its a true statement, and its one of his gifts.
*Another one of his gifts- the gift of discernment. Which means that he already has an uncanny ability to 'read' the spirits of others and then knows what to do next. (I need you to understand that Im not talking about the creepy kind of spirits that lurk in the darkness...I talking about the soul spirit) In other words-he "gets" people!!
*Im so grateful to see how nonjudgemental his has always been.
*He is so funny. Funny like his father. He has a delightful sense of humor and a dry wit.
*He is an artist extraordinaire! There is nothing he cant create with any type of medium ie- paint, wood, pastels, pencil, clay, paper and anything you may think of.
*It's a rare teenager indeed that will eat just about anything I put down in front of him. (love this boy)
brian and cousin joshua*There will be a future post about his wardrobe-soon -watch for it.
*He is looking forward to a stint in the Marines. (gulp)
brian and g&g sharp- becoming a deacon, and loosing that smile-remember the puberty thing?And now he's made it through his 16th year!!
No dings or dents or damage to the cars.
Plenty of dings and dents and damage to HIS frame though!
Poor guy!
Happy Birthday to a young man I love!
Pretty soon its going to be just the three of us banging around this house....But I've always been very happy and contented with your company! I bet we can figure out how to make the best of it, dont you think? (No more scrambling for a car!)
The world is your oyster my love. (even though Im quite sure you'll NEVER let an oyster pass your lips in the real world!)
Your future is bright and I cant wait to watch!!!
HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Happy Birthday Brian, if you even read this! :) Have a great day! Eat some cake for me!
Hey Brian - your Mom will have to send you my best wishes, 'cause I bet you don't ever read her blog! Hope you had a great day.
James was remembering something that happened a long time ago when we were visiting and were at Sue Nelson's house. He said you saved him from a hot tub! What a guy! You're my hero!
Have a really great year!!!!!
He sure is a special guy! We really enjoyed the time he came and stayed with us to work with Scott. We hope his birthday was a good one!
Happy Birthday to Brian. It is hard to believe how quickly our kidlets are growing up and how soon they will be gone. Don't they bring such fun and excitement to our lives? Gotta love those teenage boys.
Happy Birthday Brian! I'll give you my hug in person. We are SO grateful for great cousins/friends for our kiddos. Thanks for your friendship and example of so many good qualities. Your smile is definately in the "melt females" category so save it for a few more years. We love you!
