My Biggest Fan


One of my biggest heros in my life is my brother, Richard. He's 8 years older than me, but he's one of my best friends in the whole world. Somehow, he always knows what to say or do to help me through a bad day, and I know he'll always be there. Him and I are alike in so many ways that we just seem to get along so well. We love to watch movies together or go on drives in his convertible. He's the coolest brother anyone could ever ask for! He can be such a dork, but he can always make me laugh. I don't know how I got lucky enough to have such and amazing brother and best friend, and I know he'll always be my biggest fan!! Love you Rich!

The Loves of My Life








My favorite things in the world are my adorable nieces and nephews. Quincy and Max live in Missouri and I miss them so much. I see pictures of them and talk on the phone, but it seems like they're growing up right before my eyes! Quincy is my partner in crime. She looks out for me. She knows the answers to the most important questions, "Who's your favorite aunt?, Who do you miss?, Who do you love?", etc. The right answer of course is always, "Wawa B." She never disappoints. I can't wait until she's a teenager and I'm the "cool aunt" that she goes shopping with and hangs out with and tells all her secrets to. I've never been a mom, but I feel like she's my own daughter. I love her SO much!! I can't wait to see her!


Max is my cute little guy too. Since he was born halfway across the country, I haven't had a chance to spend nearly as much time with him as I have Quincy, but he's the cutest little guy in the world. Whenever I see a picture of him I wanna grab his chubby little cheeks and hold him! He's so adorable! I miss these kids SOOO much!!!!!!!!!!






Cody is my oldest nephew, I can't believe he just turned 8! He's almost like that obnoxious little brother I've never had. He pretty much grew up at my house when he was a tiny kid, and I've been almost like a mom to him. He's a sweet kid, but he's going through those annoying elementary school years where he just likes to bug ya... I love him so much though.



Blakely is the most sassy little girl I know. She's got such a spunky personality, and she's got almost as much of an attitude as I have! She's my shoppin buddy. She loves going to the mall with "Leewa B." because she knows after she's almost bored to death with my shopping, she knows she'll get spoiled at the Children's Place by her aunt Laura. She loves to have sleepovers, and she's absolutely fearless. She's a sweetheart and a firecracker at the same time and I love her to death.



Porter is the comedian of the bunch. He's only two and a half, but he is the funniest little kid you'll ever meet. He's always got time to give you a "squeeze," and he always has something cute to say. His little voice is adorable. He'll come over and ask where my puppy is. "Where's Zoe at? Where is her?" Whenever I ask him if he's cute he'll say no, I'll go through a list of people and ask if they're cute and the answer is always "no." Finally I'll say, "Who is cute?", "Zoe's cute." He's just the cutest little toddler I know. He's got the cutest little personality that can turn your bad day into a better one.



Tyler is the newest addition to the family. He's just six weeks old but I just love him! Tiny babies that you can just hold while they're asleep... it makes me wanna have kids someday.


My nieces and nephews are my life. When I hear a little voice from a thousand miles away say, "You're my best friend.", it makes you realize just what's important in your life.
