Memory Lane

Tonight we had dinner with my sister Michelle (and fam) who has a second home in Draper. She lives in AZ. She is the oldest but the smallest. She is tiny or vertically challenged. She is a grandma. Michelle is amazing talented. I love this picture of us. The other sister holding me is Lisa. Lisa used to live in Vegas- that was fun. I think Michelle and Anthony have my dads eye shape, but my sister Lisa has his eye color. He loved that Lisa had brown eyes, his brown eyed girl. Michelle was his oldest and I think in lots of ways the favorite. It may have been because she reminded him of happy times, first married. Aunt Sue loved Michelle and my Grandma Scharrier used to tend Michelle while her mom worked. Aunt Sue tells us funny stories about long ago. I never got to meet my Grandma Scharrier. I love hearing about her from my cousin Susan and Michelle, Lisa and Scott. Michelle has cute kids that are not kids anymore. They crack me up. It was her that gave my dad the work and the glory to read and from there he developed a testimony of Joesph Smith and then read the Book of Mormon. I love her husband Craig. He is a dentist. I remember when I was tiny and he would sing to me, holding me over his shoulder. I was nervous because he is tall. We also used to watch a sci-fi show called V. Michelle used to cut my hair. She would sit up late talking to me. She is very good at remembering birthdays and keeping the family together. She is good to my mom. One of these days I hope we get to spend time together, visiting as adults. I'm impressed she blogs... http://www.michellehollis.typepad.com/ The photos of her grand daughter are darling. I loved this one of some of my nieces and nephews from my side of the family. Scott side are all still kids but growing fast. I remember these teens being little. So many funny memories...
