is this the first or the last?

I love blogs! Other people's blogs. It is how I stay connected to the human race. I live in a small town and often feel out of the loop called life (yes, sometimes this is a great thing). So... I thought about starting a blog when I got married,



and that didn't happen. So I thought about starting a blog when we bought a house,


again, didn't happen. When I turned 30, I thought I would actually start a blog,



didn't happen. So I had a baby,



still didn't start a blog. So it is one random night in June, I've been in the house for days because I got sick, so I guess I'll start a blog. I like blogs with pictures. I also like Hostess cupcakes. Since I just ate my cupcakes and cannot share them with you, I will share my pictures instead. I'm going to start at the beginning, cause WHY NOT!?



These fine people are my awesome grandparents. Folkman and Ivy Brown. Interesting names, huh? Folkman was his mother's maiden name. I named my son, Heaton in the same tradition.

Here is a good looking group of 80's kids!

A few years ago my dad gave all us kids a bunch of dvds with our childhood pictures on it. What a great treasure. I'm the little rascal in the yellow sweater in the front, standing next to my brother Gary. In the back there is my brother Brad, my aunt Klissa, sister Camille, brown brother Richard, sister Rebekah, and cousin John (maybe???)

How about another blast from the past?
This is a picture with us kids, my grandma Heaton, and my dad. If you can tell me which sibling is missing, you will get a prize!

I don't know what we are doing here, if you can tell me, you win a prize!




OK, now I'm just throwing some in for fun.


Thanks Heidi, for that final push to actually start a blog.
