Happy Birthday Adam!!

Today is my brother Adam's 35th birthday. I wrote a list of 34 things I know and love about him last year and think it's a list worth revisiting. Rather than doing another list about him, I am posting some vintage photos of his childhood-cuteness and telling the world that I love him so!


{Me, our mom & cute Adam in 1974}


{Adam in our dad's shoes, on the wrong feet of course}


{My mom couldn't bear to cut his curls.}


{Nice undies! Adam lived on peanut butter and honey sandwiches.}


{Last New Year's Eve}


{Adam and I a few weeks ago.}

Here are a few things I can add to last year's list.
  • He's the king of Searing Emotional Pain discussions.
  • He's the Elder's Quorum President in his ward.
  • He has lost 40 pounds in the last year.
  • He is super disciplined and gave up meat for all of January.
  • He loves Perrier (I think it tastes like licking a shag carpet).
  • He can grill like nobody's business.
  • He's such a great dad.
  • He's is an emotionally evolved man.
  • He is the wittiest person I know.
  • He often makes me pee with laughter.
  • He is one of my best friends.

Happy Birthday Adam, I love you!!

Oh what a fantastic post about Adam...You know that I always have liked him--sooo talented. Especially his red nordic cheeks...the first time I saw him at Chillis...Oh so long ago. Happy Birthday to You! I can't believe he gave up meat...what in the world is he going to grill now? only FISH... no! that would be such waste of talent. Maybe he can have tiny tiny bites....I like Perrier, but just because it is french. It would be nice to have an opportunity to be in one of his SEP discussions! Like I always have said, I am in AWE of the great relationship you have with your brothers and sisters, specially Adam...that is priceless!

That's a great post about your brother and those pictures are awesome! (Whitney looks a lot like you did!) I love being best friends with my siblings--it truly is a blessing.

Those old photos are great! Happy Birthday Adam.

Just realized that Amy is your sister-in-law. I have been reading on her blog. I know I'm a little slow there have probably been lots of references over the last couple of months - missed them.

Whitney looks just like you in that picture with your mom!

Great post! I like Perrier, too, but Badoit is even better. Too bad I never see it in the US.

I can't believe how much that young picture of you (with your mom and Adam) looks like a combo of Whitney and Landon. And the New Year's Eve photo is great of all of you.

Adam is the most emotionally evolved man I've ever met, it's a gift to all the women in his life. Happy birthday, Adam!
