I would be utterly lost without my family... they are my one true support system. Family will be there with you until the end and beyond.. Friends come and go, but family always stays the same, it just grows :)
My Dad. I a
bsolutely love this man. He has advice for EVERYTHING that goes on in my life, because he's been there... who knew parents actually know what they're talking about? .... I love our evening chats about life. He encourages me to do my best at all times, and I do everything I can to make him a proud father. He's my strong hold, and my comforter. We love to go hiking together. When I live at home Friday nights are generally dedicated to time with my papa. We sit on the couch together, and I snuggle up real close to him (I'm still daddy's little girl) and watch Cake Boss, Ace of Cakes, The Deadliest Catch, and Ice Road Truckers... those are our favorites! I love spending time with my dad, and I really do appreciate all the advice and care he gives to me.
My Mama. She hates it when we call her 'mama' because she's says, "I'm no one's bi
g mama".. so nobody but me gets to call her that. This woman is INCREDIBLE! We didn't really have a strong relationship while I was growing up, we butted heads a lot, because we are so similar in personality. I hear that's a pretty common occurrence between mother and daughter... but boy do we ever have a strong relationship now! I love her more than words can describe. She is a trooper. She gets up every morning before the butt crack of dawn, aka 4:50, and works out until scripture study at 7... then she packs lunches, makes breakfast, gets kids ready for school, herself ready for school, works all day, and comes home and makes dinner, and works out again at night! She is dedicated to family life, and is a very devoted fan. Sometimes it's embarrassing. :) She is so supportive, and just wants what is best for her kids in life. She's my shoulder to cry on, and I love talking to her. She just got a cell phone, so we text now... way to be technologically advanced! ;)

I honestly have no idea... we are the closest. I love every min
ute I spend with this kid. It absolutely devastated me when he went on his mission... but I soon learned the blessings associated with having someone on a mission. His testimony and love of the gospel spread to me, and we grew a lot closer over the duration of his mission. It was a blessing for him to be in SLC, because he helped me find home in Utah. He's learning what it's like to be a devoted student, while still having fun at school.. something I wish I knew more about. I love going to visit him in Rexburg! We always have a good time, and he can ALWAYS put a smile on my face. His laugh, or should I say giggle, is SO contagious. I love that he's ticklish and a big softy.. I love his guts.
Mitchell Keith. This kid is a sure hoot, and he comes home in 62 DAYS!!! Oi! It went by so quickly! I am so proud of him, and his dedication to serve the Lord. He had a rough start, but he made it through and continued the full 2 years mission, honorably. He is a big goof. I love him and his passion for sports. He's a bright kid, and an incredible athlete. I can't wait to get to know him when he comes back! His missionary spirit is awe-ing.. that's not a word, but it amazes me the knowledge that
kid has got. He helps me with the problems I struggle with, and is always offering ways for me to improve my life. I laugh at his emails, and how absolutely ADD they are.. he's an 'all over the place' kind of writer. Growing up with him a grade above me was an awesome experience, and we became really close after JR went on his mission. Choir trips were a blast with him there!!

I hated this boy while we were growing up. Honestly put, it's the truth. We shared a room for the longest time, and it drove me crazy. He thought that everything in the room belonged to him because it was in the room.. even when it was clearly mine. I'm really glad we grew out of that stage. This summer I got closer to him. He still sometimes drives me crazy, because he doesn't understand the importance and necessity of family, and he's not always the most patient with the little ones. But I know that will change. He is a skilled athlete, and a not to shabby actor. ;) He starred in "Beauty and the Beast" last spring, and I got to go to it. That was an incredible experience and I was really proud of him. He likes all types of music and blasts them at 7 AM when I'm trying to sleep... I could do without that quality. :) I love him and the relationship that we have found.
Tyler Wade. He's such a character! He has such a sweet spirit, most of the time. He is the puniest kid I know.. 12 years old (almost) and under 70 pounds... that's not very normal. I love all of him though. He's a little stinker sometimes, and he LOVES to tease me about a certain
boy I like.. He's super shy, and I had to pay him to sing in church with the primary at Christmas. The little weasel. I miss him. I'm excited that he's turning 12 and will hold the responsibilities of a Deacon. It will be good for him. He's addicted to video games... not the best thing, but he's really good at them. ALL of them. He 'pones' be every time.. apparently that means something bad.. but I'm too old to understand that lingo. :) Hannah Lorraine. I have a post dedicated to her already... but this little girl is the best blessing I have ever received. She is such a sweet spirit, and a little angel. I've learned so
