Happy Birthday EM!

Okay, so I know you're going to LOVE me for posting this on here, but I had to do it. Em was always the biggest priss when we were little, and we often joked that she and Beth should be sisters and Natalie and I should be sisters (we were switched at birth!). But it's true, Natalie and I would have rather been digging in the dirt rather than playing school and twirling baton. Emily and I were very different when we were little, and we had our "little" fights (mostly due to my temper) when we were together. But for some reason we always cried to visit one another. And although those fights were common, the fun times we had playing, laughing, joking definitely outweigh any arguments. As we grew up we grew closer and found a pretty strong bond through cheerleading, beauty pageants, and school activities. Now here we are, mothers and working gals. I hope that Stella and Lucy-Kate can one day look back on their memories together and smile. Happy Birthday to my dear cousin!!! I love you!!!



Do you see the resemblance? Stella is as cute in her Mommy's baton costumes as she was years ago! Stella, now we gotta work on getting you a rockin' outfit like the one your mommy is wearing in the picture above!!! Can you help us out with that Nan Jen???

Now there's a blast from the past. I miss those days of you and Emily fighting, then making up, fighting, then making up. I loved getting in the middle of it. Remember when the two of you got married and I was the preacher?Boy, do I have so many more embarrasing stories I could tell, but I'll spare the both of you from any humiliation!:) - Beth

Wow... that's scary... so scary... I can hear Michael Jackson's thriller in the distance, ahh the neon tights, bedazzled outfits and sparkly blue eyeshadow still haunt me in my dreams.

As for Fighting, making up, fighting some more, and the evening ending with me puking on your green carpet... I am eternally sorry. Please forgive me just like I will you for posting this picture!
