Jacob

I love spending nights with my brother. He makes me smile and laugh. I love teaching him new things like how to draw a star using the A method. I like helping him with his homework. I like being his older sister and having him look up to me. I want to be a good example to him, he has Brit yeah but he doesn't see her as much. I'm apart of his everyday life and I can influence him today and tomorrow and the next. I know he copies just about everything I do- especially if it's bad. If I talk back to our dad guarantee he is going to as well. If I hug my mom when she get home he has to too. I get frustrated with him of course, he's nine and enjoys teasing me. Don't all nine year olds do that though? I really like my brother and I know I got a good one. I like our gap in age because I get to see the precious kid moments from a different view. Seeing him win first place in a pinewood derby is a great feeling as you see him gain all this confidence. I want him to grow up to be such a great man. I want him to be a gentlemen and hold girls books for them. I want him to open doors. He's going to turn out good because he has our parents. They are great examples to all of us kids. But I want to be another example. He see's me trying hard in school and trying to get into BYU and he asks how hard he's going to have to work to get into BYU himself. He saves every penny he gets for his mission. I can't wait to see him leave for a mission. He's my little bean and I can't wait to see him as a Green Bean (GET IT! SO FUNNY KENDAL) I love him and I love spending nights like tonight with him. Going out to dinner just the two of us is so great. I'm going to miss him next year probably the most.
