Its Just a Famliy Tradition

12 year old Jordan walked into his baby sister's room last Saturday. Kaylen looked at him and said, "I wish you'd get the fuck out my room!"

This is the same child that grew up raising the roof from the highchair!

Family life, remember those days? Jordan came home last week and told his mom that he was gonna get hair (down there!) and he may wake up some mornings with wet sheets, but its nothing to be embarassed about...its normal. Kim looked at Jaimie after hearing the story and said, "Wait till you find rolled up tube socks under the mattress."

God they grow up so fast! One minute you're holding them as babies, changing their stinky diapers and heating formula up in the microwave, and singing them to sleep. The next minute they're off to middle school, getting zits and developing extremely huge attitudes.

My father is extremely goofy. When he was a child, he wanted to change his name to Thundercloud. But he couldn't spell it! They were going to a party the other weekend and he pulled out the cologne he wore before he even met Momma! Can you say stale? Momma and Caleb ragged on him, so on the way down the road, he wiped it off with Chlorox wipes! You think its weird, I think...you have no idea!

This is the same man that holds some sort of record for chugging a pitcher of beer in less than a minute....yes, stupid redneck man. He hit a washer on the side of the road back in his drunk driving stage and ran into a pond and got stuck...Momma had to get a hitch and the boys had to come pull him out.

My brother has developed a huge appreciation to cooking shows. He spends hours at a time watching the grilling channels in hopes of one day giving Emerald a run for his money :) He skipped school one day, we got home to find him outside in his underwear...he'd been grilling all day!

Jill hates mice more than anything! She had a heard move into her house a few years back. She had one in her kitchen and called her brother John to come over there to kill it. So she ran to the bedroom gagging, as he's in the kitchen hitting the mice with a baseball bat. You think that's bad? You better be on the phone with PETA because weeks later, one jumped in her trashcan. She tied the bag and hurriedly ran out the house, she laid it on the ground and over the bag a few times with the car!

This guy that aunt b knew when he was a child was at one of the football games drunk as a skunk. I looked at her and whispered, "I cant believe he's going to get behind the wheel after that!" My aunt smiled and her tone was all seriousness, "Why dont you ask him if you can take him home." ....apparantly age is just a number! However, 27 is a little old for me, even if he is on the attractive side.


I listen to music--a lot! The other day I was in the bedroom singing my heart out. Dad and Caleb busted through the door with lighted matches....I looked at them really funny and they claimed, "We're here for the concert!"

Jason let some guy borrow about $40.00 months ago. We went to visit yesterday and he was all riled up about it....all of a sudden he gets a smirk on his face but of all seriousness and claims, "Id go take the bastards lawn mower if he didnt have that huge ass rotwaller!"

Wow, The things my mother would have done if I had come home and said things like that, what a different childhood I had.
