yesterday was my brother bryson's 16th birthday.sweet sixteen.
one of my first memories of brysy (pronounced bry-see) was halloween, 1994. mom made a little monkey suit, and bryson was "abu" from aladdin. i'm pretty sure he was the cutest little monkey i have ever seen.
a few years later, we had a family reunion at the lake in hyrum, UT. bryson was too little to really participate in the water activities, but he stood by the side of the lake and yelled in his tiny little voice, "whoa, baby! dirty water!" - probably 15 times. but everytime, it was hilarious.
bryson, or bash, as his friends call him, is a funny kid. i've previously mentioned that taylor is the funny one in our family, but i have to admit part of what makes tay so funny is how he plays off everyone - especially bryson. bryson can setup tay like nobody's business. its awesome. bryson and i have a very, very similar sense of humor. we laugh at the same jokes. like the same movies. quote all the same lines of those movies and tv shows. one thing about him - he has a memory like no other. he can see a show once and quote lines from it like he's seen it a million times.
b is super talented. he sings, plays the piano and has recently picked up the guitar. he has been in many-a show in high school and junior high- as well as ward road shows (most recently as the cowardly lion from the wizard of oz). he has a real knack for musical theater, and he (thanks to his awesome older sister) has great taste in music. (i pride myself on introducing my brothers to good music. a little while ago, the boys and i were going through their iTunes, pointing out all the music that came from me. i love it.)
along with everything else, bryson is also really, really smart. i've decided i feel bad for pie face. it seems that each kid consecutively gets smarter. austin was smarter than me. tay surpassed austin, and i won't be surprised if bryson beats taylor. poor pie. seven siblings setting the bar incredibly high. good thing she'll be taller than all of us.
as my brothers have grown up, i've enjoyed becoming friends with them. not only are we siblings, we're best friends, too. i would rather hang out with my family that just about anything else. i've been told several times by several different people that we are a lot of fun. and at the risk of sounding arrogant, i think they are right. we are a lot of fun. we have fun together. as siblings and friends.
i am a big fan of bryson. he's such a good kid. i'm so glad he is one of my brothers.
