Happy Birthday to Darrell!

I don't remember for sure, but I am thinking this picture may have been taken on the day we had Jim McMahon day at our school in Roy. We were all so excited to wear our BYU stuff. Isn't Darrell cute there on the far right?

I love this picture of Darrell because it reminds me of Jack in Roy. Jack was our next door neighbor in Roy who didn't really like kids. He would often park his car in the driveway over the sidewalk to discourage us from riding big wheels, trikes, etc. in front of his house. It didn't discourage us a bit .... we would just drive into his driveway and over his grass and then get back on the side walk.

Well I could on and on about my brother Darrell. Being the oldest I remember the day he was born and how excited we were. He had the cutest doggy baby bottle that a neighbor gave as a gift. I still have guilt issues over the time I broke his arm because while we were playing in the front yard in Roy I launched him off my feet and he landed on his arm. He was probably about 5 years old when that happened.

Darrell is a great conversationalist and listener. I like to ask him about political, current events, & legal things I don't understand because he can explain things well without making me feel like am clueless.

Happy Birthday Darrell!

Those t-shirts are pretty cool. Too bad we don't still have those, they'd be awesome vintage wear (for our kids, I guess.)

Cruising on our big-wheels up and down the street in Roy was the best!

Hope your day is a great one D!
