There are many vacations I remember going on while growing up. Several of them have been told of by my sisters. The experience we had with the racoons in our campsite was very cool, but we were not in a tent. We were in the back of the truck in the camper, and mom and dad were in the tent. I remember one time as we were getting ready to go down to the water we were all waiting on dad. All at once he came out in his swim shorts, socks up to his knees, and sandals. We gave him a hard time about how funny he looked.
I also remember going camping up at Vicki's ranch and camping by the lake. In the morning Dad and I would get up early and go fishing. We would catch blue gill and rainbow trout.
Another vacation I remember is going to yosemite, and other national parks. Some of these trips were only day trips, but they were fun because we got to spend time together as a family enjoying the wonderful world heavenly father has made for us.

How Many Siblings Do You Have? Discribe them and tell a story about you and each of them.
I am the oldest of Four children. I have two sisters, and one brother.
Jennifer- She is two years younger than me. She has 5 children and sometimes I wonder where she gets the energy to keep up with them all. She has an inner strength that radiates from her soul. She know's what she believes in and will stand up for it at all costs. She is very smart. She is good at everything she does. She never does anything half way. She loves her children and will do anything for them. She is quite the example for me, of how I want to be when I am a mother. She is also a joker. Whenever she is around you know there is going to be a water fight, or a joke played on someone. She also likes to hike, camp, and play sports. I remember when we were in young womens, and going to girls camp together those were some of the greatest times I had with her. On her fourth year hike I went as a youth leader. This hike was a learning experience for all involved. My sister ended up getting hypothermia, and I just remember it being the longest night of my life. Hoping she would make it through the night.
Alanna- She is six years younger than me. She is very strong in her beliefs, and will stand up for them no matter what. She is a teacher. She knows what she wants out of life and goes after it. She doesn't let anything stand in her way. She is energetic, and a very exciting person. I remember having our Survivor parties while at BYU-Idaho with all of our friends, eating pizza, and having a good time.
Brandon- He and I are ten years apart and yet I think we are most alike. He love's to sing, play jokes on people, and make people happy. He is going to school to be a mechanic. He calls me at least once a week just to see how I am doing and to chat for a while. He takes his priesthood callings very seriously. He served a mission in France. He is also a wonderful father. I love to watch him with his son Isaac, and I can't wait to see how he will be with his next one due in Jan. 4 months before he got home from his Mission I got engaged, I was so excited, but I didn't want to get married until my brother could be there. So 4 days after he got home from his mission I got married to the love of my life. The day before the wedding Brandon and I went to the mall to pick out a ring for Matt. That was fun to have him there helping me.
I am so thankful for the strenghts each of my siblings have; they have made me the person I am today. I wouldn't trade the experiences that I have had with each one of them for anything in this world. I was gratefull that they were all able to be with me in the temple when I was sealed to Matt, and that I was able be in the temple for all of them as well when they got married. I have been blessed to be able to associate with them, and be part of their family.
