Yikes!

Last night I was sitting on the couch in my parents house, and my mom was telling my dad about a new kitchen table she was wanting when the "all the kids are gone." I sarcastically responded yeah when is that going to happen and she said February.


FEBRUARY FEBRUARY!!!


What when did this happen, and I don't know who to blame. In a 2 year period, both of my sisters are or have moved to Utah. My brother is going on a mission to Cali (whoop whoop) in December, and another brother who has moved to florida for school.




When I slowly approved their "transfers" to other places, I never realized they were all making a dibolical plan to all leave the land of enchantment. I mean who is going to watch my kid! Who is going to pick me up from work! Who is going to take me to Zumba! They all had been filling different voids in my life. The 5 of us are thick as theives. Where ever we are someone always tells my mom, that they are impressed with how incredibly close we all are. The 5 of us will stand in a circle and tell jokes, quote either movies or nathan from when he was a kid. That has also turned into making fun of mom or dad! I don't want us to move away and lose that closeness. But if it happens hey! This is one thing that cannot be blamed on me. I did not move away. I didn't even leave the street we grew up on! I am not at fault and won't be spanked for it ;)



I guess I should of knew when I got married I would be creating something that would change the course of time but I guess its for the best and hopefully when everyone is in town, we will be naughty, make eachother mad, and cry. And just be us!


Nathan: I love him because he is very predictable. He has become so thoughtful and giving with his old age. If you ask for help, yes is always what he says. He never wanted to play kick ball or baseball outside with us in the triangle but we made him and he always had to play until everyone was done. He has come up with so many memorable quotes, and he regrets every one!

Ben: He would take your food if you were in a famine and he had a feast coming. ;) We always played together. Made up games, even had a rule book so the other couldn't make up rules. I remember playing in the hall way one night with a blue basketball (very bouncy) and ben kicked it to me and I caught it in my legs. no goal! I tried to baby him but he faught me! One Winter I convinced him to shave his head bald. you probably wouldn't believe it considering how long his hair is now.

Sarah: I remember eagerly telling her that she should go on a mission. She loves my son so much even though its a long distance relationship. She is tight with her money. I hope she marries someone who is not haha! As kids we always said she tried to be our mother! She was the worst at sleep talking, it was always funny to try and make conversations with her until she woke up. Then she would yell at you. She loved growing pains and would wake up at 11pm to watch them. Can you believe it 11pm! ;) She always left, left overs around her mouth. Maybe its because she doesn't have lips, and has little teeth! Update! Sarah said she needed more stories. When we were kids our mom made and still does make really hot green chili stew and forced us to eat it. Well we were all at the table not wanting to eat and all of a sudden a spider ends up in sarahs' chili and she doesn't have to eat it. She could sleep anywhere. On family vacations we would all try to take a picture of sarah sleeping in the car. She would always wake up just before you were going to take the picture. However there are many pictures of her sleeping. Classics!







Rosey: Sneaky, playful, pushed the bountries. Our parents were always very good at being 10-15 minutes lenant on curfew, rosey pushed that, and pulled weeds outside to get out of her punishment. She has always needed someone to take care of her, whether it was Sarah or me. She is loving, and I realize how tiny her fingers are very time I hold them. She never takes herself too seriously and always laughs in the face of danger. One time on our 3 wheeler she was going too crazy and either I or Sarah fell off and she ran us over on accident. It may have happend to both. At 17 she got put on the blacklist for our grandparents car insurance. She can't be idle for long she must always being doing something, with someone. She is hiliarious and will act a fool to make everyone laugh.
update: of course rosey didn't like her photo so I choose a new one and it made me think of another memory. When we were kids she had almost 100 animals just on her bed, and she would sleep on a tiny sleever of her mattress and the animals would take up the rest.



This picture is difinately over used, but it is by favorite picture of us! It was such an awesome day! One people dream of having with there siblings and this kind of day is every day to us! I love each one of them for making me who I am today.
