For those that don't know, I have 3 older brothers. It sucked at times growing up when they were into WWF and I was good to "clothesline" and all.. but for the most part it's brilliant. I don't think I missed out by not having sisters (plus now I have some great sister-in-laws and gorgeous girlfriends) as boys are cool (not in the "I love every boy" kinda way..). Here's a bit about them:
Donny (Don) is my eldest brother weighing in at 35 years old! Sorry Don, it's not that old, just sounds like it from this side of life.. hehe. Don is hyper-competitive (which I'm not saying is a bad thing!) and is really good at sport. We've gotten closer since he moved out and got married, had kids and that which makes sense cos I was 11 and really annoying when he moved out. He's a great Dad and husband (right Ro...?!) and is keen to see me succeed in life. He's kinda on a pursuit of excellence you could say. He's got some funny habits but that's why we love you Donny :) His tough exterior is just for show.
Random fact: He made some amazing ninja/80's martial arts movies back in the day. Still a fan of Monkey Magic.
Paul is next at 33 (?) years of age. Paul married a lovely girl Julie and has 4 kids. Paul is a bit of softie and a joker. He's got lots of patience for teaching people things.. it might come from all the time playing golf as that's pretty pain-stakingly slow :P hehe. Paul is also really good at sport, but tends to play different stuff to Don. Paul is always keen to help out with things that guys are good at such as car stuff, fixing things that I don't know how to fix and just other general helpfulness!
Random fact: His nickname growing up was Pauly-Possum-poos...
Chris is my closest in age at 25 years old. He's got a nice girlfriend, Irene, who I hope will end up my sister-in-law (no pressure guys!). We fought a fair bit growing up due to the closeness in age. Apparently I used to whine and dob on him to mum all the time (hehe, never!) but we've gotten on heaps better since we've matured (have we matured...?). hehe. Chris is a bit of a computer guy but he has a great sense of humour. Well, not great to all, but great to me. We have spent hours laughing at practically nothing. I really miss that. No one else is quite as random as you, Rissy.
Random fact: He likes Sopranos and REM.
They're all pretty different. Whenever we're together there's always some kind of sport involved which is the only way I get to talk with them, through participating too. They're cool though. I love them all and miss them a lot. I hope you get to meet them one day!
Love Kel

I have met those 3 guys Kel and I agree with your comments and I really love them all too, they are all so different and I wouldnt change a thing about them, love em just the way they are. They miss you too Kels.
Great post Kel - gave me a good laugh. I know you said I'm hyper-competitive, but aren't I also your favourite...huh...huh?? After all - you know you're my favourite Sister... ;-)
BTW, the kids are into Monkey Magic now. Last weekend they watched 3x1hour episodes back to back!
Also, we're really missing you at touch rugby. We're short on speed and experience at the moment, so looking forward to when you come back and join the team again.
Glad you're enjoying your adventure, but I'm also looking forward to catching up when you get back.
I guess your next post will be Word up to my Sistas?
Haha, you know you're my favourite (just don't tell the other two.. I told them the same thing) Donny!
I remember the days as a kid watching Monkey Magic with you guys. It's quite a strange show when you think about it. I can't believe Savannah would wanna watch it!!
I really miss touch rugby. Going walking or running on my own is getting to be rather dull. Looking to buy a bike tomorrow.
I should do a post to my sisters.. except that neither of them check my blog so they'd never know!
