Happy Birthday D-Rock!!!

Derrek at approx. 6 years old
Doesn't Dalton look a little like the birthday boy?
Today is Derrek's birthday. We are going to celebrate with a BBQ with kabobs and other meats and mom's awesome potato salad. Then we will have cake and ice cream. We are even going to try out the new slushy maker to see if it will work for the family reunion.
Because I am nine years older than Derrek, I remember helping take care of him all the time. I remember holding him, changing diapers, feeding him, and rocking him. He was the cutest little baby ever. Derrek is one of the two best brothers I have ever had! I just love him. Here are just some of the reasons I love D-Rock!
He is funny
He is smart
He is humble
He is honest
He is a peacemaker
He is insightful
He gives good advice
He is reasonable
He is patient
He is tolerant
He is good with my kids
He tries to help everyone
He is a good worker
He is a great baseball player
He is a surprisingly fast sprinter
