Guess Who's 18?!?!?!

In honor of Brian's 18th birthday, here are 18 things about him:

1. He is our first born son.

2. He is named after his dad.

3. He is the only one of our five children who was born 'on time'.

4. He is our family's first native Texan.

5. Jim and I knew we were in for long arguments with him when, at two years of age, he began his sentences with, "Well, actually..."!

6. When he was in late elementary school, he told his dad that he wanted to drive an El Camino.

7. His two oldest sisters call him 'Titter' when they want to get him going...a nickname they picked up from the son of one of our close friends.

8. In middle school, he decided to go by his given name at school. To this day, we can tell how someone got to know him by the name they use for him.

9. He broke his arm on the second day of football practice in the 7th grade...and he hasn't even tried to play football since.

10. He has an amazing sense of humor. He can make you roll on the floor when he gets fired up.

11. He drives a 1980-something Chevy Blazer.

12. His passion is high school basketball and he is on his school's varsity team.

13. He loves basketball so much that he also plays on a Filipino league. (He is not Filipino.)

14. He joined the Maroon Men this season, helping to promote school spirit at Varsity football games.

15. He is a senior and will be graduating on June 6, 2009.

16. He hopes to attend either UT @ San Antonio or Texas State.

17. He hopes to be able to play basketball while he is there.

18. He thinks he is the 'favorite' child...but then again, they all do!

In the picture, he is sitting in his dad's new recliner (only because it was his birthday) watching football. His sister, Kelli, made his birthday cake. Didn't she do a good job? Thanks, Kelli!
