My Family

Today's a big back story day! I figure if I start referencing members of my family and you have no idea who they are, it won't be as fun. So now you get to hear all about my crazy family.

Here we all are! 

Aren't we good-looking? :)

So this is all of us when we dress up and look nice. There's only girls in my family besides my dad, and we love to remind him about it whenever we get the chance. He loves it though, being the manly man. Plus it gives us girls opportunities to learn important skills like mowing the lawn, changing the oil in our cars, general home maintenance, etc since we don't have brothers to go do it for us. 

Here are my parents, being all lovey.

Cue sisters in the background "ewwwwww..."

They met at college and got married after being good friends for a few years. A favorite story told around our house is of when Dad tried to put the moves on Mom for the first time. She turned him down flat! Thank goodness Dad learned how to be a gentleman with Mom and they get along great now (obviously). They're great parents and each other's best friends.

This is me! 

Me shooting a 30.06

This picture is from the last time me, R, and my dad went shooting. I had never shot a gun as big as the 30.06 before, and boy did it make my ears ring. But it was fun because we were shooting by a bunch of Boy Scouts and they all were pretty impressed some guy with his daughters was blowing up pumpkins with his 30.06. It's probably one of my fondest memories. I'm sure you'll hear all about me more as the blog goes on, so we'll move onto N.

N at Yellowstone

N is the next oldest sister. She's got quite a personality. She definitely lets you know if she doesn't like something. She's the one who keeps me grounded and tells me what I need to hear when I need to hear it. We used to really fight a lot with each other when we were kids, but now that we're both older we're each other's best friends. 

R

R is one of those people that makes a funny face every time she sees a camera pointed at her. It's pretty awesome. She's one of the most fun-loving people I know, and she never ceases to make me smile, even when I'm in the baddest of bad moods. She's got a great sense of humor, and looks just like me. Except she's taller...

Me and P after a dance recital

P is the cutest little thing. I call her "Nutty", and she calls me "Squeaky", and together we get along great. She has red curly hair and the cutest little personality. She's very shy, even around our grandparents she'll hardly speak. But once she starts talking to you, she won't stop. 

This is what we look like more usually, when people aren't around to see us...

Carving pumpkins brings out the best in us...

And there you go! Consider yourselves family experts. We're definitely not a perfect family, but we love each other, and that's what's important, right? 

Until next time,
