A few highlights from my years in below pictured home (pictures posted in behalf of my missionary parents, I've got $10 that says they don't check my blog though)
1. Repentance; as in my first lesson on it- my brother told me I could swear all I want as long as I repented as soon as I saw mom pull in the drive way. (turns out I won't be seeing that for approximately 2 years)
2.Lighting: one time we may have engaged in a friendly game of doge ball in our hallway. It's not our problem the lights were in the ball's trajectory.
3. Journeys: Andrea use to make me and Richard go on journeys to Norway in our field- 5 minutes in she'd say she rolled her ankle and make Rich carry her. (Sucker fell for it every time)
4. Grandma Verna: Turns out my friend ended up in bed with my 90 year old grandma- sleep walking gets you every time.
5. Pizzeria: When we were extra hungry, Whit and I would order Pizza and pay with any spare change we could find around the house. She use to make us answer the door with our shirts pulled up like a bikini.
6. Veronica: I always wanted to look like Veronica from Archie and the Jugheads- I would beg Alison daily to give me a side pony just like hers.
7. Friday Allen: I made people call me that until i was 7.
8. House: On the rare occasion that we were allowed inside, Whit and I would play house for hours- or days. One time we laid down on the floor saying, "hee hee who" while we were in fake labor.
9. Dogs: My sisters use to make us play dogs. We had to crawl around on all 4's and eat un-coooked noodles out of bowls with our mouths.
10. Charging: you can charge almost anything in Rigby to Jesse, even if you are a Foster.

Hi Kristin! This is Sister Reed in Cebu. GREAT blog--we are going to miss your parents terribly--we;re going home this Thursday. Who taught you about labor management? (hee hee hoo) WE hee hee'd a lot reading your childhood remembrances...thanks for sharing. Take care, love Ann
PS--If we are your nieces and nephew's "new" Boise grandparents, does that mean we get to adopt you too?
I have missed your posts. The Byram house is always full of fun and adventure. That is where you taught me how to apply makeup, and that you thought I was getting too old to wear bows! haha
