The Colinator

CEEELEBRATE GOOD TIMES, COME ON!

Today is a day to celebrate yet another important soul in my life.That would be my amazing little bro, Colin... AKA, Colon, the colinator, Q-Tip head, and most recently, Uncle Colon.

This boy, is like 8 feet 11 inches tall, wears contacts and has killer abs.

This year I am especially thankful to be celebrating his day of birth. Read more on that here

He is also very talented.

He is very good at making gingerbread houses... and then not smiling about it.

The picture below is him singing a solo at a high school concert. He has always been musically talented, playing several different instruments when he was younger. Then he discovered that he can sing, and he's good at it too!


You know how sometimes you hang on to things that remind you of good times... Well, I don't have any idea why he still had that shirt, but we were matching one time! Oh, and he's even taller now.

Always wanting to have a good time!


One night, me and my bro's went out on the town (AKA, Ross and World Marketplace. We probably stopped by Wal-Mart too) Anyway, Colin has a great sense of humor and this so called 'dream topping' looked like poop. Not many people would have posed for me for the picture below, but that's the kind of brother that Colin is!



Below is my parents 12 foot tree. If he stood up straight and the top of the tree were on it, you can see that he is half the size of it... So awesome, and he could always get the best ornament hanging spots.




At our wedding reception in Missouri, Colin came in and surprised everyone in his Hot dog suit! Seriously made the whole night perfect. Not only was he a 'hot dog' he was one 'hott dawg!'




When my mom started her photography business several years ago, Colin jumped on board helping her at photo shoots. He has since developed a real talent for taking pictures! These are just a few I stole from his FaceBook page but I am amazed at his talent to capture a moment and make it look beautiful!





He has also dabbled in water colors. This is also stolen from FaceBook but I absolutely love it!

It seems like a simple painting but if you look at details, there are beaks on the birds and even the teeny birds have details!


Colin, I know we haven't always gotten along well and I am sorry for those times. But I am so impressed with who you have become. I know things haven't been easy for you but you have only become stronger and learned more from those trials.

I admire your passion for the things that you do in your life. I admire your willingness to not give up.

In my eyes, you have always been self-assured. Always confident in what you were saying or doing. Not letting people push you around.

You have a creative mind and it's fun to see what you think of... like building a giant Zen Garden/Bed Frame! Or your brief belief that nothing is ever random!

I'm so blessed to be your sister and honored to call you my brother. I can't wait to see what new things you can accomplish in your life!

I love you so much and hope your birthday is the best!

One of my very favorite wedding pictures!
Love,
Kayla
