mama's boy

yesterday was my baby brothers birthday. he turned 15, crazy. we had an inside luau, my mom decorated the house so cute-of course. aloha kitchen was for dinner, and a lava cake for dessert (strawberry shortcake). my mom always does a special "about me" display on our birthday. tony's had this book he made a couple years ago for a school project. i had never seen it. it had things about him for each letter of the alphabet. c was for conway, k for kanoe, p for parker, q for quincy, so on and so forth....tilley wasn't born yet. it really was the cutest thing. tony is the baby of the family, and everyone knows he's the worlds biggest mama's boy. my mom loves it.all the party people. we were lucky to have syd olsen in town visiting and sharing in the festivities. the kids were dying to go swimming. my parents pool is shaded most of the day, so it's always colder then most pools. we let them go in their undies....and they froze. it didn't phase them at all...although their lips were blue and their teeth were chattering.after a warm bath and jammies for the kids, we sang happy birthday. and then let off all of the birthday balloons. there is a lot to say about anthony. i'm probably closest to him of all my siblings. he's the baby and i'm the oldest, so naturally i always have acted like his second mom. he comes with me everywhere, whether it's running errands or going to cali. tony is always "in". and i love that he hasn't outgrown that yet....although i feel like the day he does is coming very soon. anthony loves his family, and they've always come first. he loves his nieces and nephews and they love him, alot. he is definitely a softie. i love that anthony is always "in the know." he has radar ears, and we all know it. he truly doesn't have any enemies. and he has a number of best friends. everyone loves tony, and his contagious laugh. he is always smiling, and is the worlds greatest story teller. he loves music. and is most definitely a social legend. we love you anthony. especially for always being you. hope you had a happy birthday.
