MY Family!!!

All of us together finally!!!

My Family is not perfect, thank goodness because they wouldn't be as much fun if they were!!!! I am so grateful that family is Eternal!!!
Each one of my family members has really helped me become who I am. Don't ever tell Tyler this, but whenever he would tease and torture me he would inevitably say, "Misty I am preparing you for the rest of your life dealing with other people, and someday you will thank me!" In reply I would chuck something at him and tell him that I would never ever in a million years thank him!!!!
I lied. oops.
As I said, Don't tell him this (I'll know you told because he won't read it) I would like to thank my brother for teasing and torturing me as we were growing up together, because he did prepare me for life, bless his heart. That is a prime example of how my family has blessed me!


I can't get enough of my dearest sister's excellent (and boneless) hugs, and if you have ever given her a real hug you know what I'm talking about! I will always be appreciative of my beautiful Mother's listening ear and excellent advice, especially as I was freaking out as I dated Jacob. Thank heaven she listens to the spirit so well. I'm so grateful that Johnny was born!!!!! He has truly been a pleasure to have in the family, and I've learned that children can be a joy to raise because of him.

sorry Mom, I had to the Kie's Hitler mustache and Johnny's future goatee!

 Kie has probably helped me grow the most, by teaching me love, both through example and from simply being born and on this earth in my family.


Oh my goodness you will never believe the torture I put both Tren and Mitch through as I encouraged them to escort me around the farm and because of their awesomeness they went the extra mile and they each would open the barn door for me! (it made me feel so loved)

my buddy Mitch!!!!!

I will always be grateful to my Grandparents for letting us live a couple hundred feet away from them and for teaching me principles of honesty, finances, and patience through their excellent examples.

Grandpa says he has a sleep button on his bottom, when he sits, he sleeps and it's TRUE!!

 And there is always my Daddy's long tractor rides (in actuality they usually lasted about 5 minutes, thanks to my amazing timing) and his chalk board talks at 6:30 in the morning and his smile of pleasure when we talk about how I am doing in life.

 It is exciting to think about how all of us are growing and changing so quickly and how much more we have to grow!!! We have made it through long and dull hours in the milk barn, and on the tractors in the fields!






We have made it as we have played hard and worked hard and have kept God involved in our lives. What fine parents we have who have been willing to try their best and it shows.

And Last and my greatest find was my Husband Jacob, who keeps me on my toes, and brings true joy into my life daily. A wonderful addition (even if I do say so myself)  to our delightful eternal family!!!!
