HAPPY BIRTHDAY WHITNEY!

So my sister Whitney's birthday is today...holler. She is BY FAR my favorite sister that lives out of the country. Here are a few reasons why I love Whitney: (She wants her age to be kept a secret so I'm only listing 10 reasons, because she's not turning 10, obvy. And Cassie, don't get a big head-I love Whitney just as much as I love you, I'm just not listing all the reasons because she's secure enough to know that without a huge list.)

1. She lives the coolest life of anyone I know-I live vicariously through her.

(She usually lives in downtown San Francisco, and has travelled all over the world- Asia, Peru, England, to name a few- and is now living in Abu Dhabi for work.)

2. She's one of the smartest people I know. She graduated from Cal Poly as an Architect. Hehe JK I just said that to make her mad. She's a Structural Engineer, apparently they are two different things.

3. I always wanted to be just like her when I was younger. I even chose my soccer jersey number after her.

4. When I was 6 years old she pushed me and I hit the corner of the piano bench and cut the corner of my eye and had to get stitches. That's not a reason why I love her, I just wanted to tell that story.

5. She's the only sister that doesn't live close to us, but she ALWAYS comes downs and visits, and never misses an important event.

6. Whenever she comes to visit we have pillow talk at night time, i love it.

7. She always discovers the best music before I ever hear it on the radio, tv, etc.

8. She's SO bossy it's hilarious-but a nicer way to put it is that she cares so much about me and my sisters that she constantly tells us what to do. But we love her for it.

9. Extremely reliable and will do anything for me

(On a completely unrelated side-note, I really wish someone would buy me a car...)

10. She ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS puts her family first. It's something we take for granted sometimes, but she always has us at the front of her mind.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WHIT! I love you tons and wish I could've spent your b-day with you and given you your present that is WAY better than the present Cassie and Laura got you.

xoxo,

Your Favorite Sister.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CASSIE!

My FAVORITE 25 year-old sister had her birthday today! WOO-WOO!
Here are 25 reasons why I love Cassie:
1. You can't help but love Cassie-if you don't, you're weird
2. She brought Violet into this world
3. Most generous person EVER
(anyone who knows Cassie can attest to that)
4. HI-LARIOUS
5. Has helped/done all my art projects for school
(I won a contest in 7th grade for the poster she made..and my teacher put "excellent artistic abilities" on my progress report; Oops!)
6. SO creative and always has good ideas for projects, presents, etc.
7. Has trouble standing up for herself, but has absolutely NO problem what-so-ever going to bat for someone she loves
8. Is practically my same size (okay, she's a little smaller) so it makes it easy to share clothes
9. Always knows the perfect present to get you
10. Self-taught herself on the piano, and it's amazing
11. Her artistic skills are ridiculous. Seriously, ask her to draw you something
12. Such an amazing mom to Violet and wife to Josh-they are beyond lucky
13. Does P90X with me and yells at me when I stop to rest
(or is that a reason I hate her?)
14. Gave birth with NO epidural
15. SO feisty
16. Has always let me drive her cars when I get sick of mine
(or when I just want to look cool)
17. Convinced Josh to let her buy a house 5 minutes away from my parents so I can see her and V EVERYDAY!
18. Loves frozen yogurt even more than I do
19. Played a huge role in getting Brandon and I together
(her and Josh love him just as much, if not more, than I do)
20. Always puts her family first
21. Most self-less person I've ever met
22. She bought me my 1st cell phone because my parents said I was too young, and she had me on her phone plan until she got married and Josh kicked me off
23. Will always be strong in the gospel which will keep our family together FOREVER!
24. I never, ever, ever, get sick of her. Never.
25. She is the best friend and an even better sister anyone could ask for!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CASSIE!
Love you times TWENTY FIVE!
hehe.
