The Boys & Me: Happy Birthday Little Sis

Happy Birthday Little Sis

I wanted to wish my little sister Kelsey a Happy Birthday she is 23 today. Kelsey is a great sister. I shared a room with her growing up and secretly always wished that I had her confidence and her wardrobe. She is a great Aunt to the boys and they love to be with her. She also tells me that she loves spending time with them because they are the best form of birth control for her right now. (Is that a compliment) I hope she has a great Birthday.

I love this picture even though it is 3 1/2 years ago.

“I don’t want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenk’s lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor’s children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone’s garden. I want to be there with children’s sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.” Marjorie Pay Hinckley
