In truth a family is what you make it. It is made strong, not by number of heads counted at the dinner table, but by the rituals you help family members create, by the memories you share, by the commitment of time, caring, and love you show to one another, and by the hopes for the future you have as individuals and as a unit. - Marge Kennedy
I have posted that quote on my facebook. I love this quote. After a weekend i had last weekend and a week this week. I wanted to share this quote. Cody and I have been getting pretty close to Jon and Ashley and the boys. Cody loves his nephews a lot. This weekend we went to see Jon and Ashley and the boys again. Today at breakfast Cody was letting Shawn do something that he would normally be allowed to do. He says to me that Uncles are aloud to spoil their nephews. It was so cute when he said this. I know the boys love having their Uncle around when we can get out there. Family to me is the people who want to be part of the lives of family ones. I am so close to my family. My family would never move to far away from each other. We all pretty much live within 15 from each other. We have are get togethers. My family loves Cody and they treat them as family. Today was my Aunt Melissa's 30th birthday. Cody and I went out to eat with my parents, sister, grandmother, Aunt Melissa and Uncle Tim and Josh, Aunt Jen and Nathan and Gene. Nathan is only 3 years old and before the food got to the table Nathan goes "I want to go sit on Cody's lap" so he had to walk to the other end of the table and sat with Cody. Cody has been getting really close to his brother Jon again. Cody likes how his brother treats him as an adult. Ashley and I have been getting really close since October. We both wish when Cody and I first started dating that we were as close as we are now. We would be part of the boys lives from the beginning then. But we are making up for every lost min. Ashley and Jon have taken Shawn to get fish for his fish tank but they left room for two more. So next time we go out we are going to take Shawn for two more fish to put in the tank. We also will be going to Knobles with them since they werent able to go on this past Friday. I know this will be awhile from now but when Cody and I get married: Cody will have Pap, Jon and Ben on his side (his grooms) and I will be having my sister, Ashley and my best friend Kaylisha. But anyways since last weekend when cody and Jon got to have their brothers night out and have been getting really close again. Well i wanted to add some pictures of Jon and Cody when they were younger that Ashley had shared with me. Hope you enjoy the old school pictures.

Awww hunny, if I could turn back the hands of time and change the way things were back then and have it that Jon and Cody felt they could have a normal brother relationship I certainly would... it was a shame for all of that lost time... but you know what, you and Cody have something special with your nephews... a bond that is growing deeper and more rooted than ever. All of this time you spend with them... the QUALITY of the time you spend... shows in the excitement on Shawn's face when he sees you too here in the morning. They are two lucky boys to have such an amazing Aunt/Uncle duo. We love you guys so much and are HONORED beyond belief to be asked to be a part of your wedding. Can't wait to see you guys again!!!
O Cody- that hair! LoL It looks much better now ;-) It would be great to turn back time but I think you & Cody are definitely making up for the lost time. You two are doing such a wonderful job of being an Aunt & Uncle to those boys. It's very apparent that they love you so very much.
P.S. And of course you can follow my blog ;-)
