I really wanted to make sure if anything ever happened to me that I would leave behind a part of me to my nieces and nephew. I have no children of my own, but am lucky enough to have two amazing brothers that let me enjoy being in the lives of their children. I have had my own struggles from weight, family, friends, money really you name at some point it has happened to me. I hope by sharing my point of view maybe I can help them even when I am no longer with them.

Getting Excited
I just have to say this Auntie is getting excited about Christmas! I can not believe it is in just a couple of days. One thing that you 4 will understand is that MiMi spoils us like crazy. Right now the big tree (yes your MiMi is one of those that has a tree in every room) is jammed with presents. Really the whole room is full, poor PaPa's desk is in this room and he can hardly get in to sit down. I will try to take a picture tonight and post tomorrow.
And dont let your parents fool you they are excited too, MiMi still spoils all of us too. Really get down to it we are all still kids too. And I believe your dads are the worst. They get all excited and rip open the present. This year I think is going to be great because everyone has a suprise that I dont think they see coming.
Oh and lets not forget about MiMi's cooking. She has already been making Christmas cookies. Drake it was so funny this year; you were sitting on PaPa's lap and took your first bite and said Mmmmmm. So I believe you are a fan. (I will take a picture of these too.)
Love you to the moon stars and beyond

2011 is almost done REALLY
Man I am just sitting here thinking about how 2011 just started with 3 babies and a 3 year old. Now we have 3 one year olds that are walking everywhere and a 4 year old that I swear is going on 21. I dont think I could have ever imagined how wonderful you all would be. My next post is just some of the photos from this year that I love. I hope you know Aunt Choo Choo loves you more than words can express.
I love you to the moon stars and beyond
Aunt Linda & Uncle Jeff
Aunt Linda
Ok so Papa’s sister is a crazy wild woman, but we love her so! She will make you laugh for hours by just telling you about things she did when she was younger. Now don’t worry if you hear Papa tell her that he hates her. He is really saying I love ya, that is their inside thing. Now she is married to Uncle Bob who is always willing to tell a funny joke, but wait for those until your much older. They have a daughter Cassie that has 3 kids Jacob, Jackson, and sweet little Hannah Banana. They are currently living in Kansas City but when they visit it is always an adventure.
Uncle Jeff
Uncle Jeff is Papa’s brother and no they do not look anything alike, LOL. He is married to Kerry and they have 2 wonderful kids Jaycie and Jaron. Talk about a funny family and of them can have you rolling at any time. Uncle Jeff would always make someone laugh if you gave him enough time. I remember one time that your Aunt Choo got into a little situation and to say the least Uncle Jeff was there in no time.
We may not see these two and their families often, but they are always in our heart as I know you are in there’s.

Dishman Side
Dishman Side
Papa’s side of the family is the Dishman side. I call them Pops and Grams. As I have gotten older my time with them is an adventure in its self.
Pops
Now growing up only one person had the final word and that was Pops. He did rule with an iron fist in our family, but he loved his family very much. Here are a few fun facts about him:
Favorite Clothing – Overalls
Cooking was/is a great passion of his.
He loved his dog Princess very much
He refereed and umpired
Was born/raised in Strafford MO
Mom – Effie
Dad – Doc
He tells great stories of growing up I hope that at some point we can get a few of these on video
Grams
She is our delicate - church going - proper woman that if you say road trip she is ready. Here are a few things about Grams.
Loves the Lord and will tell you to go to church (which we should!)
Is ready to travel loves to be on the go
Worked as a nurse
Lived in Kansas when she was young
Cannot ride in a car and listen to music she wants to talk!
Loves to pack/unpack if you move
Hates the first of the year because everyone is together for the holidays then everyone is gone again.
Just a few thoughts that I had today.
