1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. (Kathy)

Oh my goodness Kathy! Soooooo many memories. Probably one of my very favorite memories was when you, me, Caitlin, and Dad were all laying on your bed and Caitlin had just gotten back from a date or something...(it's funny...I can't seem to remember details on these kinds of things) and we were all talking together and had some laughs and some tears...can you remember that? I know what we talked about...but I'm not going to write it. Ooooh, now everyone's going to be soo curious! :) Another, of course, was when you taught me how to make freezer jam! Oh...ok, last one. I remember when all of us kids visited you at the hospital right after you had Emily, and I remember looking at you and thinking how awesome you looked! I was like, "Holy cow...she doesn't even look like she had a baby! She doesn't even look tired at all." Seriously...I can still remember thinking that. :)
I remember babysitting for you when you lived in the apartment in El Paso--but I remember specifically a conversation we had (there was some Elvis special on TV) and you told me you thought it was a conspiracy and that Elvis was really alive. :)
And I remember when you moved in with us and stole my room right from underneath me! jk...
And I remember your little festiva...and going on that roadtrip to California when the van tire blew up huge...
So many memories...
I remember you coming, I think for Mariah's funeral, watching you do your hair in my mother's bathroom. I thought then that you were the prettiest aunt (no offense to you others, you're all beautiful!) and also that you chased me and a couple other kids out right after that I I simultaneously thought you were the meanest aunt. I've gotten over that, by the way.
I remember that we were in Hawaii while you and Dave were on your honeymoon. We went all went scuba diving together. You looked so happy!
I remember staying at your house. Wes, and Brad I think, were in Jordon and Justin's room, and Mom and Dad had Caitlin's, so the three of us girls bunked down under the stairs. (one of those storage cubbies) And the next morning while we all pitched in at breakfast, you were playing "Phantom of the Opera" on the piano, and I remember thinking how wonderfully you played.
I remember the family reunion I went to while Mark was in tech school, I drove up with Steph. I remember thinking it was so neat that you and I had babies just weeks apart. Emily was the cutest little girl, and I was sooooo jealous of your playpen, with the bassinet thingy and the diaper changer... Oren slept on a blanket next to me. :-) It was just really neat to have that kind of connection with one of my aunts, going through the same things at the same time.
What awesome memories these girls have of you! Well...I am going back a lot further. We lived in Poway and we had a goat...I think her name was Barbara, but you called her Barbia. I had a picture of you riding her like a little horse:) If the back door was open she would wander in the house and lay in the back hall. One day when you saw her there you were very upset and said "Goats don't belong in the house!"
I remember being brand new in Provo and feeling so alone and scared. You and Dave came and took me to get some things and invited me for dinner (lots of times). You guys made it bearable those first few days. I can't tell you how grateful I was to have your family so close. I really enjoyed all the dinners and visits and games.
