my parents were amazing!! growing up they did things certain ways at the time i couldnt figure out why but now that im older know exactly why and am so greatful for!  like for instance growing up no matter what we had going on during the day or what we had planned for the night we always had to sit down for dinner together as a family and im so thankful for that now because thats the reason our family is so close and has unconditional love for each other. another thing i remember from my childhood is my parents had this wooden dog house and it had two seperate big dogs one was mama and one was daddys and 4 lil puppies one with cips name one for dino one for tracie and one for me. Rick was already married and out of the house at the time. when one of us were misbehaving the puppy with our name on it had to go into the dog house wich hung on the wall for everyone to see until mom and dad decided to take it out and we hated that!!!! lol Dinos puppy stayed in their most of the time though!!! then i would have to say Tracies was next and of course mine very rarely went in cause i was the baby, the angel that did no wrong !!! Dino and tracie use to pick on me alot and cip always stood up for me and protected me so he was a good guy for that and his puppy vary rarely was in the dog house either!!!! i love the family bond my parents formed for us we are so blessed and had the best parents in the world love you mama and daddy and brother your memories live in our hearts forever!!!  oh yeah i must add i was never spanked in my life from my daddy but mama made up for it!  lol i got it with the bible, spoon, spatula, sandle etc. etc. but im sure i deserved it lol

Every easter it was tradition to hide eggs in my moms hair cause she had poofy hair!!!
