i am so on a roll!!!!! Today i woke and i was feeling like a carebear! i was thinking.... i have the best family! Ya... we have our lil tiffs and such, but also we all stick together so well when it counts! I was thinking about each person in my family.
Machelle: the family therapist, best heart, the one who would go out of her way to give even in times she really doesnt have anything to give.
Kim: The thinker. Always has a target of success and when he reaches that target he exceeds and goes further. Can be serious but also be the biggest jokester. He is the one that will help u in any emergency situation O and thanks for letting us have surprise bbq's at ur house when u leave town and not getting mad at us!
steph: She is the quieter one that cracks those jokes that shock u coming from her. We think she is the angel but really shes smart because she moved away from vegas so we would always believe that! She has this persoonality that are so playful and i think i have only seen her mad 2 times.
russ: ummmmm just love him!
brett: he is the GQ. He always tucked his t-shirts into jeans and looks nice even in his flip flops w/ the longest mecham toe in the world. He is a great dad and im sure husband, because me and him have always had a close relationship.
doug: He is my brother that says anything and everything he makes u laugh by saying the most off things, but u have to laugh because the way he says certain things. He is laid back and doesnt get his underwear in a bunch but also when he does WATCH OUT!!! He has a big heart and is a big ol' teddy bear!
cherise: This girl is my bestest friend. She is my twin that just was born a yr later! We know each other like the back of hands. We can tell when somethings wrong even if we havent talke d that day! We are the pregnant investigators always trying to find out who is prego when i crave homemade choc chip cookies and she craves oreos at the same time! we are the blacksican sheep of the family!!!! ha ha!!!
darren: he is my lil brother but i do look up to him! He sets his standards high for everyone. He is a carebear in disguise. He tries to be tough but will sneak and be sensitive. He is an awesome dad. He has helped me to raise my boys before and after he had his own kids. If u ever called him for help he will be there! it might be w all 4 kids to change a tire but he will get there!
heather: she is a free bird we all ask heather where she is going this weekend. She is the one we all live through. She goes on cruises, other countries, hikes. she says she wants a bf to settle down with but i think we dont want her to get one cuz shes the baby sister and should just stay free because none of us did!!!!!
Randy: He is the baby baby. He is the sweetest brother of them all. He is very goal oriented and sets his mind to something and will get it by working his butt off for it! My boys love him to death. He just has to stop by the house to say hi on his way home sometimes and my kids come from hiding, running to uncle rannnnnnnnndy! He has the sweetest personality.
last but not least:
my mom: let me try to type this w/out crying. she is the backbone of our family. she stays strong in any situation. she works long hard hours and then finds the energy to come across town to help get gradkids here there and everywhere. She is like the energizer bunny. I love my mom i dont always tell her but i just hope she knows that she is the best mom in the world!
dad: He is on top of his game! He can pull phone numbers out of his head from 20 yrs ago i swear. He makes evryone feel important by calling them through the day to tell them if the weather is good, if the pollen is high, or just to see how the family is doing today! Sometimes im really crazy right at that moment and kind of short w him but he always ends the call "alright love ya" . He is my sons grandpa but also took the place of the dad in their lives. No matter how many yrs cs has been around on fathers day all the crafts and cards still go to grandpa!
To my in laws there are way too many kids in my family to comment on each of them. But they all no that it is very hard to hang w the mechams and they do it! all my sisters and brothers married great people that complete them and make them happy and we just gotta love them for that! I love all of my family and just wanted them to know this!
