Day 3!



My parents and siblings.
This is very personal. I almost deleted this post. A few times actually.


Hopefully no one minds me writing about them on the internet


First of all, my parents. My parents are GREAT, As anyone who knows them will probably agree. They are my biggest fans. No matter what I want to do, they support me. Their like my personal cheerleaders. they are such a cute couple. They still hold hands and go on dates and kiss and dance in the kitchen. Its been a while since I've seen them dance in the kitchen, but I'm sure they still do. THey are AMAZING grandparents. They are Nana and Papa. Kennedy just adores them.

My mom has always been my friend for as long as I can remember. From elementary all up to High School I could talk to her. About my friends, my problems, boys, dances, church....whatever it was she would be understanding and offer the best advice. I still remember and think about the lessons she has taught me. My mom is still one of my bestest friends. She has taught me how to be a good mother. She is the first one I call if something is wrong, good, exciting, worrying or anything about my kids. She is a terrific mom.

My dad is super sweet to my mom. My dad, let me tell ya, will do Anything for his kids. He came down to Calgary with me at the spur of the moment to find a house to live in. He drove me to Seminary every morning for 2 years I think. He picked me up from dances. He taught me how to drive. He made me feel good about myself. I remember once I was having a really bad day and I wouldn't tell him about it and even still, he knew just what to say. He works a lot and always has to provide for his family. To my dad, family is everything. EVERYTHING.
I love my parents so so much.



I can't seem to find a picture of my brother and me together. Andrew is a good big brother. He's always looked out for me. He is a great basketball player, loves to play golf (and I hear he's pretty good), works very hard, loves his dogs and LOVES my girls. He loves to play with Kennedy. He is usually the first one at any family function to be on the floor playing with kids. He will be an AMAZING dad one day. His wife, Kris, is sweet, kind, loving, funny and easy to laugh with. She loves basketball just like her hubby.

My sister is my best friend. She is sweet, gorgeous, kind and loving. She is pretty funny too. She loves FRIENDS, dancing (especially latin), baking, laying on the beach, tanning, taking pictures, shopping, reading girly novels, watching movies, going on dates with her hubby, hanging out with me and all her family and cleaning her house. I mention the last because her house is ALWAYS clean. It actually drives me crazy that she can keep it so clean. Even if I show up un-announced, its clean. I wonder if it will be that way once she has kids. She's super aunt- Changing diapers, babysitting, playing with Kennedy- she'll be one fantastic mother. I can't wait for that day. Her husband, Ernesto, is an amazing chef, a huge Football fan and an incredibly sweet husband. My sister is lucky to have such a nice guy.

I also need to mention my other siblings. My in-law siblings. They come from amazing parents that are so incredibly loving and sweet. They are very knowledgeable about so many things. I call my mother in law often about baking questions, my father in law always answers my questions about the scriptures. I think these kids were pretty lucky to get such awesome parents. Brian had a very good example of a great marriage and because of that, he is a wonderful husband. And the kids, each individually are great. I mean, really, what are the chances that I love each and every one of Brian's siblings. Most people I know have someone in their inlaw family they don't get along with. Not me. I could easily sit down with any of them and feel comfortable and have a great conversation with. They all married nice people as well. Brian's sisters are some of my best friends. I'm so lucky to have married into such a nice family.

I feel kinda weird writing all this. I hope no one is mad that I wrote about them online. But I love you all too much to not include this post!

When it comes to family, I have the GREATEST!!!! and I love them all so much!!
