My baby brother

My baby brother...
is a year older today... He doesn't quite look like this now...this is in his younger days... here he is with my baby girl...his niece!
He has always been a family guy...loves his family, loves to have them all around -- just like his sister!
He used to be is a bit crazy at times, especially when with my boys.  As has been chronicled here on the JohnstonChronicles, he taught my boys things that little boys like, but not necessarily their mom... like wet willies, passing gas, burping loud, etc...
I've always loved this picture of him and Becky!
About a year and a half ago, my baby brother took his life in a different direction. He changed careers and changed states...going from Texas to Colorado.  As you might guess, we now all love Chick fil A.  This picture was taken last Christmas, all of us sporting our new Chick fil A shirts!
I'm not sure who Becky was yelling at, but I'm sure it wasn't her dear husband!

OK, that's better... looks like all is well:)

Becky looks a bit scared around Gabe...but my baby brother doesn't look too scared!
Last Christmas, my baby brother and my sweet sister-in-law, Becky, flew out to be here for Christmas.
This year, as many of us that could, flew or drove to Colorado to spend Thanksgiving together.  This time, like I said in an earlier post, we were at my baby brother's home.  One day, he, Joshua, and Ron hit the slopes...
My brother likes to show people a good time... here, he took us to Red Rock.

He was so happy, he gave Becky a smooch!

I wanted to take some good photos...

but, as usual, he started horsing around...hamming it up...

Typical... "John!  Act right....come on, John!"

 My baby brother...

 He's a great dad to Addison and Sami...

 A great uncle to my three kids and a true 'great-uncle' to Thalia, Emerson, and Benjamin...

 He has learned to listen to his wife...

Here he is enjoying just hanging out with some of his family...
 The three of us have been together for a long time...

My baby brother... he's a loved guy!


Happy Birthday to my baby brother!
