One of the most selfless people you will ever meet. Luke has the biggest heart out of anyone I know. He will do anything for those he loves, and it's been a blessing to have a little brother (who's bigger than me) always at my side and who did all the talking for me in life.

Isaac is one of the wisest and most trustworthy people I know. He is my best friend who the Lord put in my life when I needed him most and has become a brother to me. He has always been with me to face whatever life is throwing at us, and I thank the Lord I get to have a friend like him in my life.

Oldest of my 2 new younger brothers, Ethan reminds me a lot of myself. Quiet, kind, figuring out life, and knows how to get under Ella's skin. He is such a joy to hangout with and I can't wait to always be able to talk baseball with my new bro.

The younger of my 2 new brothers. Cole is full of energy with a big heart. Always ready to challenge me in any sport, anytime, anywhere, and won't stop until he beats me... which is not often. I'm excited to be his brother and let the rivalry live on.
