The Fam

I have realized that I am so lucky to have the family that I do. They are all so great, especially Katie... I just thought that I would give them all a little shout out! First there is our oldest, little spit-fire, Ashley. She brings so much life to this household...she also brings in delicious, fattening mint brownies that R 2 die 4!! Literally, I think they have cut an average of 5 years off the life-span of everyone living in this house! Ashley, we love you!










Next, we have our daughter Michelle, her husband Kimball, and their little boy Brody. They are the cutest little family I have ever seen...well, besides my own of course. :) But truly, they always bring a smile to my face to see them grow into a little, rodeo family! Giddy-up!! Love you guys!




Next is our favorite son, Matt. He is currently serving a mission in France, and we cannot wait to go and pick him up. Not just to see him, but to eat as many pastries as humanly possible. It has been a long couple of years, however, we would not want him any other place. Keep it up! Matt, we love you to death!

Now, not to say that we have saved the best for last...but we have, our youngest daughter Katie. Without her, this blog would not be in use. Gold star for Katie. She has the sense of humor of a rock, but yet somehow we all laugh (just to make her feel like she is funny). No, but seriously, we will miss her dearly when she is off to the big university. Katie, we love you!


Oh, and how could we forget the extra extension to our family, Albs. She has kind of just become one of us. Despite the fact that she is not blood we are more than willing to call her one of our own!! Even though her hair is blonde and not brunette we love her no less...Albs, you are a great addition to our family!
So there you have it, our family. We have the greatest kids in all the land, and I just swell with pride whenever I think of them! We wish them the best on their future endeavors and hope that we can all stay close, even if it is through blogging.

is this Katie speaking again? I'm pretty sure Brody is the fave of the fam, not katie...although she is a close 2nd. we're the coolest. I love us!

I caught mom getting a little teary-eyed this morning while reading about her family and listening to Josh Groban. Kudos to Katie for (temporarily?) filling in on writing about us and picking out emotion-inducing toons.

Oh come on, I won't deny that I am dad's favorite :) but I think you (Shelli) are moms favorite. Can you deny that?

michellecluff said...

Of course I am! That is unless you include my husband or my child. Then I'm screwed again. But strictly blood, at least I'm SOMEBODY's favorite...

Dean and Jo said...

I will put an end to this right now, Albree is my favorite! But Matt is still my favorite son! And Brody is my favorite grandson...

Dean and Jo said...

News flash! Shelli you just got taken off the favorite list due to the fact that your link to me is "dean and BEEJ"!! You might want to rethink that...but atleast it is not Betty...

michellecluff said...

So my BIL Tyler can call you Beej, but I cannot??? I really am not your favorite am I!

Of Course Albs is the favorite. She is like a grandchild. You can enjoy her company, feed her, talk to her then send her home when she is tired of us. (And we don't have to pay for her college!)

PS Ashley, I just realized you spelled tunes "toons". Or was she watching bugs bunny at the time?? So much for being the smart one...

Ashley Lyn said...

That was on purpose. Katie was typing and accidently typed "toons" instead of "tunes". I thought it was funny, so I recreated it. Besides, wasn't it you who didn't know the difference between "cartoons" and "car tunes"? PS Can I be somebody's favorite?

I am so glad that I won the battle of favorite child! Thanks!!!
