Has the cutest mom and sisters. . . .

I have 2 little sisters (and one really little mom). The pictures pretty much speak for themselves, but I am the luckiest girl in the world.

My sister Kristin has 2 little boys who she is an amazing mother to. Recently she has been going through some pretty rough times and I am amazed daily at her tremendous will to keep on moving forward. Rarely is there anything that I can do to help her, but I am pretty sure that the things I see her do and the trials I see her work through and conquer have made me stronger as well.

This is my mom and I during the spring one day. . . I think we put the camera on timer. My mom is one tough little thing. Don't let her size fool you. I think the fact that she had 7 kids under the age of 11 pretty much sums up how amazing she is. Even though all of her kids are "grown-up" she is still a perfect example of a mother and being available if any of us need her help.

My youngest sister, Heather, is getting married in 10 days. Don't be worried. She might look like she is 12, but she is actually 24. Heather is probably the most sensitive and observant member of my family. She just knows what to say and when the right time is to say it. She is a hard worker and if she puts her mind to it you can be sure that she is going to do what she says she is going to do.

If you had told me 20 years ago when Kristin and I were fighting over her wearing my clothes or Heather was bugging us to play barbies with her that my sisters would be my best friends I probably wouldn't have believed you. But, it is true.

Sometimes, what I wouldn't give to go back to playing with our my little ponies, writing notes to leave on my dads bed, building forts to sleep in with our dolls, wearing matching outfits for whatever talent program we had come up with that day, re-arranging our rooms every Saturday just to see if there was any unique way that we could fit twin beds into a really small space, breaking up with Kristin's boyfriends on the phone and trying to convince Heather that if you kiss someone it has to count. Those times were a lot easier. However, I also believe that it is only because of all those time we had together that we will continue to help each other through challenges that will come our way.

I guess we all have our own adventures now and time has proven that it can only get better!?
