Tuesday Tribute-Kesley Brett

Today's TUESDAY TRIBUTE is dedicated to my baby brother...

I introduce you to...

Full Name: KESLEY BRETT HUMBLE

Raised: Soda Springs, Idaho

Family: Youngest child of the Humble Clan

Job Description: STUDENT/MUSICIAN/Snowboarder/Motor-crosser

Since the moment I met this kid at age 12, I have loved him.

(despite accidentally breaking his leg when he was two)

I helped give him his middle name, Brett when he came home from the hospital.

He is the LIFE of every party, KIND, fun-loving and nonjudgmental.

This boy is High Adventure! He rope swings, motor bikes, rock climbs, snowboards, wakeboards and lives life WILD. 

While I was dating Craig, he met Kesley when he was only five years old.  Kesley was in Ahh.  During one of Craig's visits, Kesley sadly spoke with a pouty face and tears in his eyes,

"Craig likes Erin more than me!"

It was precious.

Yes ladies he is single, plays the guitar and looks a little like Zack Efron.

He is talented, giving, a little LOST and Young but has endless POTENTIAL!

Tuesday Tribute-Annette Vest

Tuesday's Tribute is dedicated to Craig's older sister and our friend.  I introduce you to the beautiful...ANNETTE.

Full Name:  Annette Bodily Vest
Born: April 28

Born: Walnut Creek

Raised:  San Ramon, California

Reside: Recently moved to Spanish Fork after 12 years in St. George.

Family: Husband Scott Vest, McKenzie, Delaney, Cooper, and Boston
Job Desciption: Graduated BYU, Worked for Dixie Collage, Interior Design, and now full-time MOM.

Annette is the third child and second daughter in the Bodily clan.  This gal is the full package...outgoing, smart, spiritual, generous, and gorgous inside and out. 

She's the kind of mother you want to be.  The kind of wife you esteem and the sister in law everyone deserves.

This gal is a runner.. and when I say runner.... I mean SIX marathons, multiple half marathons and 10 milers, and a 190 mile relay from Logan to Jackson.  By the way, this is why I recruited her for our Wasatch Back team in June. 

Just watching her cross the finish line of her SECOND (I think?) St. George marathon inspired Craig and I to begin training for one the next year.  (note: NEVER will be repeated)

.

If you want to hear a hilarious story, ask her about Montello.

She is super supportive of her kids and husband and I've never seen her tell her children "NO" or "Not Now," when they ask her to play. 

She ALWAYS has a smile on her face and because she was raised with four brothers,  there are no inside jokes that get past her!

Dear friends, I give you Annette...  

You have been to a bunch of baseball parks, name your favorite?  I think Fenway-the Green Moster

Happy childhood memory? Going to Swensens to get icecream (bubble gum or Swiss Orange Chip)after school from 2nd grade to highschool.

Do I have to ask BYU or the U?  True blue through and through.

What are you reading right now? Catching Fire from the Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins

If you had a free day to yourself, what would you do?  Exercise, Read, Shop and layout by the pool.

Indulgence? Desserts or Massages

Pet Peeve? Any mouth sounds while eating or talking..Gross

Favorite Holiday? Fouth of July and Christmas.

Worst Habit? Grinding my teeth.

Some things, not people you can't live without? Arbys, exercising, and LIP GLOSS!

Greatest Achievement?  Running marathons

Characteristics you admire in others? Sincerity and Gratitude

One word to describe yourself (answered by her husband)? Happy or Entergetic
