Family

Pretty good looking bunch eh?
This is a picture of my family. Granted, it's a little old now. I was married almost three years ago now.

I am one of six children. And I feel like talking about them so here it goes,

My dad is awesome, he's the youngest of five boys, (poor grandma had her hands full!) he loves to read, write, come up with new lyrics to songs, and taking my mom out on dates. Some of my favorite childhood memories involve my dad helping us make home videos and playing his guitar for us

Chilling on the London Eye
My mom is a saint, she's the oldest of five kids, three girls and two boys. She also loves reading, family history, traveling, and she's also quite artistic but hasn't done anything super crafty in a while. My mom has also kinda become a bit of a foodie, aka she likes high class and kind of exotic food. My mom helped instill a love of traveling and world culture in me. She took me to London when I was 16.

Michael and Sarah
Next comes Michael! He's my oldest brother and he took a lot of grief from all the rest of his siblings growing up. I still feel pretty bad about how we treated him. We didn't get along for a long time, but eventually we became close after his mission and when we were both at BYU Idaho. He was there for me during a really hard time of my life. And was sweet and understanding. I'm very blessed to have him as an older brother. Plus he married Sarah, who is awesome. 
Kendall being a boss
Then comes Kendall. Kendall and I are closest in age, like 19 months apart. Since we were kids I basically thought Kendall was the coolest kid on the planet. Well he still is. This guys is crazy talented and has the work ethic to back it up. When he's not drawing, he's making others laugh, kicking butt at video games and being an EFY counselor. And yes ladies, he's single. Here's his deviantart link http://starvingstudents.deviantart.com/ his blog http://thebravelittleillustrator.blogspot.com/ and his tumblr http://kendallhaleart.tumblr.com/
Charlotte and Brian cutting cake
Charlotte comes right after me, the only sister I have so we're pretty tight like that. Charlotte has an excellent voice and a talent for music, she also has quite a mechanical mind. When she not trying new recipes for her new hubby, she enjoys books and video games. And animals, OH gosh does she love animals. She would constantly try to get my mom to let her have a pet, she had a hermit crab and a beta fish. That's were my mom drew the line. She married Brian this past June. Looking forward to getting to know him better.
Peter being chill
Peter is next! He's one of those kids who kinda does it all. Now my family is mainly a theater/music kinda group, and Peter not only did theater, choir and orchestra, but was also in swim team. I remember my mom telling me she had no idea what to do when she went to his swim meet because she never went to a sporting event for one of her children before.When not in a play, a concert or a meet, Peter enjoys D&D with friends, going on dates, video games and beat boxing.
Jon in Spamalot
Jon is the youngest, and when he was born I wanted to do everything, change his diapers, hold him, feed him, everything! He was 'my' baby. Now he is far from a baby and becoming a young man. He's incredibly smart especially with numbers, clever and witty and works on a comic that's adorable with a friend. When he's not in band, theater or improvdy, Jon enjoys videos games, books, various Internet memes.

And then there's Adam.

My husband, my eternal companion, my boo, he'll get his own post in the future.
