Hello world!

My name is Mary and I am ten years old.

I have five older brothers.

Yes, five.

When people hear I have five older brothers they ask, "Do you like having all those brothers?"

I say, "Yes! But, sometimes they drive me crazy!"

The oldest is Ben. He tells a lot of jokes, and he goes to school at BYU. When he walks in the house everyone runs to give him a hug. He makes everything fun when he babysits. When my parents went on a trip he told me to make a list of everything I wanted to do while he was babysitting. Here is the list:

1. go to the zoo
2. have a tea party
3. play games outside
4. read stories
5. play dolls
6. go swimming
7. do brothers hair in funny styles

We did everything on the list!

Stefan comes next in line; he is pretty much perfect. He lives in Russia, where he's teaching people about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, he has been gone for one year and seven months and I miss him a lot.When he was at home Stefan worked and studied a lot, but if I asked him to jump on the tramp with me he would stop whatever he was doing and jump and play with me.

Hans just earned a 36 on the ACT Stefan did that too. All my older brothers are brilliant so I have a lot to live up to. After school, Hans sings with the madrigals, wrestles on a team and works as a student body officer.  One day when I was bored Hans said that he needed to wash his car and I said I would help him. We had lots of fun, I sprayed him with the hose and he didn't even get mad.

Xander thinks of jokes faster than anyone I know. He also likes robots and is very smart.
Xander works as a student body officer and plays the viola. He wants to be an engineer when he grows up and I think he would be very good at it.

Sometimes my Mom jokes that Gabe and I are twins but he is really two years older than me. Gabe loves Legos  and every Friday all of his friends get together and have an airsoft war; he has made a lot of friends from doing this. Gabe is always very nice to me he always makes me feel better when I am sad. He tells lots of funny jokes.

I love my mommy and daddy.My daddy is very funny and my mommy always knows how to make me feel better. They always take us on super fun trips and they are the best parents ever. My mommy and daddy buy lots of books for my brothers and I to read and they buy lots of toys for us to play with. I love my mommy and daddy!
