For Boy I think the bond was there long before Braley was here. Boy was super excited when he found out he was going to be an Uncle and even asked if her could break the secret to tell his good friend Leandra. Of course I agreed. While I was still pregnant with Braley he purchased her a pair of diamond earrings. We all laugh at the story of him calling Moma to let her know that he would be late to the hospital. In time for the big moment but later than everyone else. When she asked him why it was because he had yet to pick up her earrings, hey he was an 18 year old senior…… very thoughtful I think. She assured him that it would be just fine.
Just to clarify my brother’s name is not Boy. However, if you ask Braley she will quickly inform you that “THAT IS BOY”. If you can’t tell from some of her pictures Braley is full of sass and has no problem using it. On that note, she can bat her eyes and turn on the charm to get her way. Please pray for us. We are going to needs lots of prayer and possibly even therapy by the time the teen years come and go.
Uncle Boy has been a “real” influence on Braley. Thanks to him she has mooned (yes, I said mooned) her school as well as peed on the playground… more than once. I guess I should take this moment to share his special name for her. Braley insist that he call her niece girl, but he prefers to call her “rat turd”. Oh yes, lovely, just what every 3 year old little girl should be called. A few weeks ago one of the ladies at school called her a silly goose, she held her laugh as Braley told her “I am not a silly goose. Uncle Boy says I’m rat turd”.
Oh, Uncle Boy, what stories we could tell on him. Scared of what stories are in his future and horrified of what he may teach Braley. However, as scary as it may be I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Who wants to be with dull people? And dull is one thing these two will never be accused of.

And Rat Turd takes the cake! =) I remember around this time last year, Adam had to buy Braley those John Deere boots. PINK ones at that. We searched in Tractor Supply, and a couple of western stores in Old Town & Lake City. No boots. He sure does love her. I fear for whatever poor soul tries to date her someday. He'll have to pass through Adam before you or Brandon get a chance to approve. I'm glad his standards are set pretty high. Boy is a GREAT uncle and he loves his rat turd! =)
