So, a little history for you. Growing up, our neighbors, The Schleismans, were (and still are) our best friends. Their 5 kids are like my brothers and sisters. I cannot explain how it works, but we were just THAT close! We went on vacations together, we had sunday morning brunch together, we got on and off the bus at their house..the list goes on. When Adam was a baby, he was like my baby! If he couldnt have his mom, he had to have me. I think I still remember every word of every song in Barney's Day and Night video! haha! Now that we are all growing up its harder to stay as close, but non the less I'm soo proud of all of them! Alex got married last summer. Jessica is here in Ames at ISU-I get to see her occasionally! Andrew is a senior at Kuemper and a star basketball player. Adam is still the most adorable boy I know. We talk on facebook a lot! And Bethany, the baby, isnt much of a baby anymore! She's in second grade I think and is a princess!

Jessica, Kari, Annie, Bethany, My mom Barb, Kathy

Both of the pictures are pretty old. But, you can see who they are :)

As I said, Andrew is a basketball player on the high school team. He just scored a winning point to take our boys team to state!! Here's a Youtube clip showing you and see how much hes grown up! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxeRaIoKvPE
