Families are Forever

When I was working my screen saver popped up with the pictures I have saved on my work computer and these were the first three. They made me smile and remember what an awesome family I have. One night Adam and Cara were up visiting and they stayed at our place. We decided to watch Hairspray and Adam LOVED it. He's pretending to sleep here but he was singing and dancing through the entire show. We are probably going to get it for him for his birthday... don't tell.

This is one of my favorite wedding pictures. I've got my BFF JJ, little Indee, and crazy homeless Brandon.

The next picture will always make me laugh. This was right after Derek's mission. He was "hanging out " with this girl who was kind of weird. Caleb and I switched her name and my name in his phone so when I texted him it would come up as a text from her. (Caleb learned this sneaky trick from Justin Trujillo when he did it to Caleb and told him I was pregnant :) ) Anyway, while we were watching a movie at our place we text Derek and said something like "I love you and I know you are supposed to be my Eternal companion" from her. He read the text and just sat there with a blank look on his face but didn't say anything to us. He said he had to go and we texted him from Caleb's phone after he left and told us it was just a joke... needless to say he didn't think it was as funny as we did :)

Then I went through my pictures and selected some of my family pictures that I especially love and here they are. Brandon and Marci came and helped us decorate for Weber State's Homecoming at the Dee Event Center.

I don't know why but Eric always has crazy expressions in all of the pictures I take. He's normally a decent looking kid even though you'd never know from the pictures. ;)

I just assumed this next picture was payback for making the guys wear pink ties for our wedding.Gabby looks either 1) drunk or 2) belonging to the "special needs class" I can assure you that he's neither.

So many brother-in-laws! I wouldn't have it any other way. :)

Brooke was cranky at our family Thanksgiving Party so Caleb and I took advantage of her orneriness and teased her. (Actually I think Caleb was taking her from me because I was bugging her)

It's okay though because I'm still her favorite aunt. I like to call it "tough love" it makes her stronger.

Here is baby Ashton doing his Bill Cosby impression.

Kimmie and I used to go dancing every weekend. My dad has this picture up in his office at work and tells us how irresponsible we are for turning around to take a picture while driving 80 mph down the freeway.

My mom and dad are such a good looking couple. On Sundays my dad waits until my mom is dressed to pick out a tie for him to match her. How cute huh? I hope Caleb and I grow up to be just like them. (except the whole rotten children part)
