A Tribute!

Meet Derek!

Today is his Birthday!!He is my 'twin'

Ok! Not really but at 1 yr and 25 days apart you might as well be!

We did EVERYTHING together. We hung out with most of the same people, we liked the same things, were in 2 of the same classes (band a choir) and tell each other everything.

He's Got it ALL!!
The looks

The theatrics
The Grilling/Cooking skills!!!The Baking skills!!
He's loved by his family

He's always looking out for his sisters

Don't mess with us or you get the wrath of Derek!

Trust me on this! Would you want to mess with this face?! NO you do not!

The Kid in him lives on!
and every now and then the bully in him comes out!
You know it lives in you too!
as you can see from the look on Isaac's face, he wasn't threatened! LoL

He takes his responsibilities VERY seriously!but he is always up for a good time, no matter what the hour!

and no matter if mom (ahem...ME) is trying to get her little man calmed down and into bed at 930!!!

He is quite the ladies man!

He's a great problem solverand takes GREAT care of ALL of his friends!

He stands out in a crowd

but he knows when it's important to blend in

yes he's in there. I promise

He knows all the right people!and after a long day he knows the best way to relax and wind down!He is one of my best friends! Always has been, always will be! So on this joyous day! I would like to say to the bestest brother a girl could ask for...HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
