Memories....

So, I pilfered this off of Kathryn's blog. Well, in my defense, the pilfering was PART of the rules. It was not a random pilfer. So, this oughtta be fairly amusing. What do you remember about us?

Please be kind, because I know where a lot of you live. I also know quite a few of your mothers.

Here's the directions:
1. As a comment on this post, leave one memory that you had with any of the family together with you. It doesn't matter if you know us a little or a lot, anything you can remember! (Especially the stuff that makes us laugh!!)

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you.

If you leave a memory about us, we'll assume you're playing the game and we'll come to your blog and leave one about you. (bwa-ha-ha!!) If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, we'll get our memory to you another way.

THANK YOU!

We have lots of memories with your family. It's hard to pick just one. The first thing that comes to mind is trick or treating together. I think I have sugar on the brain. Also, I will never forget when the crazy floor installer moved into your house.

Oh mwhahahahaha, yes. Who could forget when you had Hobo man and the snake for your neighbors for a short time? Lucky you.

I don't have a personal memory (a one on one memory), but I will after this weekend. Thanks for your help at the party. I'm glad McKay had a good time and I would be honored if he came back looking for cotton candy or an Indiana Jones hat. Wait! I do remember you in the Grimshaw's driveway trying to put together the float for the parade and thinking "She is a freaking SAINT for doing this." Yes, I said freaking.

I've been PILFERED!! How cool is that?!? :)

My favorte memories are akin to those you left on my blog -

Being McKay's Primary Buddy and thrilling in those moments of connection, laughter & fun with him (he's such a joy!)

Talking for HOURS about autism, our beautiful children & life in general

Always happiness & witty comments from you in the halls at church even though I knew you'd had "A DAY"

Being inspired by your never-ending positiveness, your tireless willingness to raise your children well, and the bright smile that lights your face.

You inspire me.

Well, I have many memories, too. With each of your family members - well, except maybe your baby. lol Darwin - his amazing math tricks during home teaching. Rachel - tons but especially fun chatting about everything including making jewelry and cleaning. Michael - Josh and Michael in the back yard and the two of them just saying each others name back and forth. (Did I ever tell you about that one?) Mackay - Mostly in front of my dvd videos - hee hee. Hannah - Alayna LOVES playing with Hannah. She's such a girly girl which my girls love about her. And Garrett - Darwin and him walking in the late hours of the evening and stopping for a quick little chat.

I'm not doing this on my blog because I think most people who look at my blog don't have the foggiest idea who I am (they are photographers) but I thought it was such a cute idea!!!

Well, I'll be nice and not share any early memories of Darwin. ;) Of course, by the time he was 18 he had become the perfect big brother in every way. :)

The first time I met Rachel (I think) was when I was in the hospital after my Rachel was born, and Darwin & Rachel came to see me, and brought me a gift from Rachel's grandma (2 darling little Chistian Dior sleepers), and Darwin offered to donate blood for me (because I had hemmorhaged). I ended up getting to stay in bed for a month instead of having the blood transfusion, so lucky me because I was kind-of freaked out about that, but I was so glad that Darwin offered and I would have held him to it.

I love hanging out with Darwin & Rachel when we come out to Utah. I can totally relate to you guys, and love how down-to-earth and relaxed you are -- no uptight pretensions, just genuineness, caring, and fun with the kids. We had a lot of fun sliding down the snowy hill at your park on cardboard boxes a few years ago. I loved the "twins" picture of Rebecca and Hannah in the bouncy seats. They look a lot different now!

And I don't have a blog *yet* so you can't tag it, but we just got a digital camera finally, so I will have to figure this blogging thing out soon.
