- Les tripping over the curb as he was backing out of a horse trailer used for moving furniture and spraining both ankles. Not one....both!
- Linda falling down the stairs because she was thinking about reaching the camera bag hanging on the closet doorknob instead of watching for the last two steps, and spraining her ankle. Only one...not both!
- Becky riding her bicycle with a group from church; the bicycle wheel slipped off of the asphalt and she fell with the bicycle on top of her and ripped off a layer of skin from her leg.
- Les jumping off of the Little Red Truck full of kids after pushing it downhill and spraining his wrist. Children: Do not attempt this stunt without proper training.
- Becky crashing her Big Wheel into a parked car.
- Rachel hiding inside the play kitchenette/stove set that Grandma gave her.
- Ruth attempting to style her hair with scissors at the age of five. Bad idea!
- Linda being rushed to the hospital in an ambulance. Twice now!
- Becky and Rachel marrying the men that they love.
- Ruth moving to Ohio to go to college.
- Family vacations to Ohio, California, Canada
- Rachel dropping a full carton of eggs in the grocery store (or was it Becky?)
- Becky, at the age of two, hiding under a rack of men's suits in JCPenney, where we couldn't find her. Code Adam!
- Becky, at the age of two, hiding on the floor in the backseat of the car at Grandma's house, where we couldn't find her. Again?!
- Watching proudly as Becky, Rachel and Ruth graduated from high school
- Being served special meals prepared by 3R's Kitchen
- Listening to RFaith sing special music at church
Memories help us to remember where we have been, where we come from, and where we are going. They remind us that we, as a family, support each other in all things.
I heard a song tonight sung by Josh Groban called, "You Raise Me Up", and I especially like the chorus:
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains; You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas; I am strong, when I am on your shoulders; You raise me up...To more than I can be.

The egg thing was Rachel. I remember it. And apparently I liked to hide. I still do...sometimes I hide from Jason and jump out to scare him. He doesn't necessarily like it, but it makes me laugh. :)
Wow... some of these take ME down memory lane. I surely do remember when Becky scraped up her leg on the bike. That's tough to forget!
Yeah...so Rachel might have been the instigator of the egg incident, but I remember Becky dropping a bottle of ketchup on the garage floor at the old house...Oh! and Mom flinging ketchup on herself, the table, and maybe one or a few of us while at Chili's a long time ago...There's also Dad's experiment with the peanut butter and the drill on a Sabbath morning... I (conveniently) can't think of anything I have done that fits that category. I guess that means I didn't. ;) Haha...not likely.
Some days it seems like memories are all there is. I like funny memories. (How about when Mom saw the "Pony"?)
