These Two

 


Brother and Sister.
Best Friends.
Worst Enemies.
Complete Opposites.

The probably spend more time together than any other brother/sister combo you've ever seen. They are 4-1/2 years apart, and most days, you would never know it.

These two have been through so much together. Well, with their mother being an alcoholic and pretty much non existent in their lives. But, they also understand each other. When no one else understands things from their {point of view}, they can turn to one another.

Sure they have their share of daily fighting, competing, tattling, and trickery.


HIM.....

 


A clone of his dad.
One of the sweetest boys you will ever meet.
Lover of music, wrestling, and horror movies.
Great sense of humor.
Will beat you at any video game at any time.
Would eat baby back ribs every day of the year.
Practices good personal hygeine.
Quite the entertainer.

This kid, he does some.....dumb stuff. He's so typically an almost 15 yr old young man. But he is so kind. He never raises his voice, or talks down to anyone. He says his "pleases" and more often.. his "thank yous."

I know I posted a couple months ago about Bubba, and his academics. He had a rough
1st semester of high school. He has really turned things around, and I am happy to report that the 3rd quarter is about to end, and he has held above a 3.0 GPA for the whole 9 weeks!!!

Proud of that kid.


HER.....

 


Yes, that is the look she is giving me most of the time. Its that "you cant be serious" look.

A clone of her mom (unfortunately... but we cant change that)
One of the loudest kids you will ever meet.
Lover of animals, flip flops, and any one who pays her attention.
Thinks she can beat you at anything, at anytime.
Eats her veggies.
Tetherball obessesd.
The phrase "mind your own business" means squat to her.
Quite the people pleaser.

This girl... hardly ever "finds trouble." Her trouble is rudeness and disrespect. Unlike Bubba, who finds trouble, but is really nice about it. Harley is little miss perfect, while being mean.

She's cute, and funny, and she knows it. She is a textbook Leo! She loves all attention on her. She will even go as far as doing something really nice for someone, to get their attention. (thats when I like her best). Because she really is a kind, sweet, person, with a ton of love to give. I often forget that she's only 10.


I am so blessed to have this family in my life. I know that we are together for a reason. They need me, and I need them. I have learned so much about love, respect, and patience.

Love these two.
