My Family


I don't talk a lot about my family. And I feel bad about it. But I found out why I don't talk about them so much- I'm never really around them! I have 7 hours of school, 1 1/2 hours to get ready for school in the morning, and after school, I'm doing my homework, and then hanging out with friends. I wanted to take this time to tell you about my wonderful family. My dad's name is Alan. He is very nice, and I can talk to him about practically anything. My mom's name is Bobbi. She is the queen of our house, Scrap Booker, and craft maker. And her three sayings are "Chocolate isn't just for breakfast", "When mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy", and "I run with decorative scissors." That about covers my mom. My oldest sister is Coco. She is married and has a 6 month old boy, and she is the second Scrap Booker and craft maker of our house. Most people say that we look alike. My brother-in-law is Kyle. He graduated this past year from Blue Ridge High School, and is training to be a Police Officer. He is really fun to hang out with. My older, only brother is Dallas. He is fun to hang around when he's in a good mood, and has a great sense of humor. My first younger sister is Faith. Her and my littlest sister, Gabby, can get on my nerves, but I love them. Faith is the artist, and Gabby is the clown. Yes, the clown of the house. She can make anyone laugh with out even trying. Then there is my nephew.
He is little Mr. Talmage, Buh Buh, Peanut, and DeDe Doodle's nephew. DeDe Doodle is my nickname. How did I get it? Well, I couldn't say my name when I was little, so I called myself DeDe. And then when Talmage was born, we started getting into the Disney Channel baby shows, and the Doodle Bops happened to be one of Talmage's favorite shows. So Coco now calls me DeDe Doodle Bop.
Back to my family- we have 4 dogs living in our house. There is Nellie, the aggressive one. Bella, my little nubbins. She's the only one with a nub, so she is my nubbins. Cosmo, the crazy, trouble maker. And Lula, the fluffy, shy one. They are a big part of our family.
I love my family and pets very much, and I don't ever want to loose them.

Mom and Coco-
I love you two the most.

Elyse,
You made me cry! I know that the family loves you too! You are a very special, compassionate, loveing and caring person. You have the makings for a great leader and know who you are. Those are all wonderful qualities to be a good person and friend. You are also a great helper to me. You do things a lot like I do so I don't have to tell you how to do them.
I love you kiddo!
Hugs & kisses, Mom
