Here is a photo trip down memory lane! As kids...we were ALWAYS together. Yes, there were lots of fighting, lots of stories to tell and most of which have different endings now that we are older. Bottom line is, Ashley was mean. Sorry Ashley, it is my blog and I can type what I want. And you are in New York......so there's not a thing you can do to me for it (right now anyway!)
It is amazing to me that out of all five of us kids, how differently our lives turned out. There have been fun times, times of hardship, times of laughter, times of pure pain. But there has never been a time when we are all together (hard since all of us are scattered now) that stories of the heart and laughter do not rise to the occassion. It is pure bliss to have us all in one place, and have OUR rugrats running around everywhere and our parents looking at us saying "We hoped they'd turn out just like you!". Truth is....I think they really meant it. Some days are harder than others....but I think we all know that passing down what we know, have learned and can teach our children from generation to generation is priceless.

"Happy Birthday Ashley and Amber! How can they be 37, I remember carrying them around on my hip....thanks for sharing the photos!
You are so mean! Just kidding, it is nice what you have done, I am sure Ashley will like it too. The pic of him by the sign...taken for me since I am scared to death of snakes!
Amber you must take after mom.....remember she fainted on their honeymoon during a "snake show" and they had to carry her out on a guerny??!! Dad was looking through all the commotion thinking who in the world are the ambulance people carrying out, and it was his new bride :-))
