President's Day Weekend!

Since coming to BYU, it has been a tradition of mine to visit my aunt, uncle, and 4 cousins who live outside of Boise, Idaho every President's Day 3 day weekend. I broke tradition last year due to Kailee's birth, but made up for it by going the Thanksgiving before and in August of this year. This is my Aunt Vicky in the picture. Yes... another person in the world very much like me. Why do I say that? Well, she's so fun and cool!! lol We decided to workout together Monday morning before we left and my Aunt Vicky came out of her bedroom not in the expected leotard, but like this... lol. The funniest part was her hair. If you look at the picture below she looks like a 10 year old in an older body. She is so funny. As you probably can guess, we spent most of the weekend giggling. All we seem to do is laugh together. She has a great family. The oldest, Kelly Anne, (5'4"...maybe) is 21, goes to BYU-I and got engaged on Valentine's Day... Yay! I'm so excited; looking at wedding dresses with her made me want to get married again (still to Jared, of course). Ben is 19, 6'4, goes to BYU-I, is about to turn in his mission papers, can't get the ladies to stop chasing him, and is great at the piano and singing and maybe guitar, Jason is 17, 6'5, with a girlfriend (whom he kisses... yuck), and is very musical as well, including the guitar (I think), and McKinsey (14) is 5'9", is her mother's clone...GOOFY... lol, she loves volleyball, basketball, singing, socializing, and not giving all the guys chasing her the time of day!
Here is my sweet southern Belle, Aunt Vicky, who can't believe her kids are growing up so fast! Uncle Ken sure was lucky to snatch her away many years ago!!
Here we are trying to dance some calories away!
Aunt Vicky tries to look tough when doing her punches, lol.
Here we are kissing our muscles, except Aunt Vicky turned to me and said "how do you kiss your muscle?" Apparently she's not as experienced as I am. I grew up with one of my brothers always flashing his muscle in my face and kissing it, so occassionally after I workout, I'll do it to Jared, which is pretty funny considering my muscle is hardly visible. This visit, I failed to get pics of the rest of the family... sorry!
