we are fa-mi-ly! (say it like you are singin the song!)

here is an ode to my oh so wonderful family!

first off these are my hero! and i mean it in a singular form. they are my hero! together. they make up what i want to be:) these are my parents

kari and gary alexander

they are the best parents ever! my mom is supermom:) my whole life she has been everything... tutor, worker, personal trainer, chef, cheerleader, and every other possible thing a mom could be. never once have i doubted the love she has for me. have i taken it for granted? yes. but still she loves me! i know she would do anything for me and be there whenever i need her. i love her motivation! talk about a go getter! when something needs done she does it and she does it right. im glad she taught me how to do that. her saying, "never settle," is always ringing in my ears. 

my dad is the most amazing man i know. he sacrifices so much for his family. ive seen so many times how he would give up something he wanted so his family could have what they needed. he would give up precious sleep to work late, or early, hours. he really would do anything for us, his family. he also taught me to love the game i play! sometimes baseball is the best release for me! i love that game and im so grateful my dad taught me to play it:) 

this is jord. probably the most solid individual you will ever meet! this kid is a rock! right now he is serving a mission for the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints and he couldnt be more prepared. this young man loves the lord and is giving all his heart and soul to him. plus he is hilarious! no one who has spent more than 45 seconds around jord has not laughed. he has his own language, his own style, his own quirks... its crazy. he can turn dry situations into parties without even trying. i love him so much and am so proud to call him my brother:)

and this is dalton... most commonly know as bubba:)

what a stallion this kid is too! he is a straight "a" student, a master cinematographer, a man of many faces haha and a darn good little athlete. when i left on my mission he was just a little boy... when i came back, although his size didnt change much, he wasnt the same little boy i knew. he is a stud. i cant wait until i can be home long enough to spend some good time with him. he is at that age now to where we can do so much more stuff together! we can compete in sports, we can talk about girls, we can just hang out... my littlest bro is gunna be my biggest friend! i love you bro! 

so yeah... i have the best family in the world! i couldnt live without them and i never will have to! this family is forever baby!

until next time... brandon out! peace
