The quest to become favorite aunt




One thing I love about visiting my family in Idaho/Utah is seeing my neices and nephews. I am determined to be the favorite and best aunt they will ever know. I think I've got that one won with Stephanie's son Hunter or why else would he call me "Genius."? I'm working on getting them all to like me. Sometimes I will even mail packages for no reason -- and I'm always buying Kindra's girls clothes -- if I see something cute and it's on sale it's like Christmas for me. There were three babies when I was out in Idaho this summer and I took pictures with all of them -- Patrick's twin girls Amelia and Rachel and Kindra's youngest Connor. I call him Giant Baby -- which Kindra is okay with because -- well, he's a giant baby. He's adorable though as are Patrick's girls. I love, love these babies but in NO WAY does it mean I want more. Nope. Been there. Done that. My time is my time now and I love it!

I love the pictures Brooke! What I cute baby!! I became an aunt when I was only seven years old. It was my job to entertain the younger kids at all family gatherings while the older women cooked! It was great (although maybe that's why I'm not a very good cook=) The best part about being an aunt is that you get to spoil the kids and send them home, lol. Thanks for sharing!

I'm not sure why my girls were only wearing diapers. I love that Rachel is pointing. As the favorite aunt, I think you should volunteer to adopt Rachel until she outgrows her toddler years. Then you can take her back when she's a teenager.

Ahhh, you'd be the best Auntie ever! Seriously, you can rough and tumble and talk football with the guys and then turn around and pick out princess outfits for the girls. Heck, can you be my aunt? ;)
