challenge day 26: the fam.

doing this, i really realize i don't have enough pictures of my family and myself.  or even just my family.  so i should probably add something like that to my 101.. well anyway. 

so here is a picture of me and the rents.  it's an old photo but we all look the same i'm pretty sure.

this one is from our wedding last year, and that's my brother mike...

these are my oldest two brothers, mike and gary, and my niece jade (gary's youngest daughter). 

and these are my nephews.  my youngest brother's (jason's) two babies.  they were trying on the sarge's gear!  jaden and jordan... so cute!!  jordan is my baby :)  uh, he's 8.

 

here is some of my extended (arkansas) family at our wedding! 

and of course.  we are our own little family now. <3

challenge, day 5 : siblings

i have three brothers, all considerably older than myself: gary, michael and jason. the youngest of them, jason, is twelve years older than i am.  i was not close with any of them, since they were no where near living at home for most of my childhood.  however, for the past few years, i have become much, much closer to the brother i saw the least as a child: michael.  i wish i could have the kind of relationship i have with him, with the others.  mostly location is to blame for this.  i have only really lived close to mike for any considerable period of time.  at any rate, i love my brothers, they are ridiculous.  i guess we share parents, so if i'm ridiculous, they have to be. 

i also have 24 sisters.  this is what they look like:

what?  can't you see the family resemblance?  well duh, they are my lovely EEE pledge sisters.  i have talked about it before in a post about my ouachita days, but i will briefly say it again: my time in school was made bearable by the faces you see in this picture.  when john and i go home this winter, i hope to see as many of them as possible and recreate this scene.
