Meet the Fam

Well, this is the family. You have no idea the hello there! we went through to get these pictures taken. Let's just say, getting everyone to wear a long sleeved white shirt and jeans out on the beach in the middle of the summer was sooo much fun. We're thinking of what we can do to top this. Actually, we have an appointment to take pictures at Wal Mart next week. TOP THAT!

If you are reading this, you probably know us so rather than going through a long introduction and list everyone's talents so they feel included when they get around to reading this, let's get right to some discussion about food.

Mint OREO cookies are awesome (yes, this is Mike). Nothing beats 5 or 6 Mint Oreo cookies around midnight with a glass of milk with ice chunks in it. Except for Bryers Mint Chocolate chip ice cream. A bowl of that before Oreos is pretty good. Even better after OREOS because it gets those crumbs off your gums and teeth and leaves your breath minty fresh and your belly a little sickly. Soda usually calms that though.

I'm sure Allison will want to address how we deal with diet and nutrition in a separate entry. So, let's meet the family.

We are really a hard family to follow. Our motto is "Nobody said it would be easy, so zip it and and do what you're told." There's a plaque that says something like this, maybe I got it confused. Anyways, with so many people in our family, it is worth reviewing. So, starting from youngest to oldest we are: Mckenna, Danielle, Michael, Cody, Jessica, Jessika, Jayson, Allison and Mike. Almost 10. Not that we want to be 10. Nine is good. One was peaceful. After three your numb all the time anyways so it doesn't matter. We are a brady bunch of sorts but we are one big happy, screwed up at times, loving though moody, tender hearted yet moderately edgy, family. The good news is we can spread the chores around many people. What's that other saying, "Many hands make more work later for Mom?" Something like that. Anyways, now you know a little more than you wanted about us. If we really keep this blog up, we'll probably slip and reveal more than we should about our inner circle. Stay tuned.
