My family-Fredricksons

This is another page to my personal scrapbook.  I just got copies of a bunch of pictures of me from my mom from when I was young.  It has been fun looking and remembering my life in so many pictures that my dad took over the years of our family.  This is the first photo of me an my siblings in a family picture.  I love the pictures of my parents they are so young!  My mom is a beauty and my dad so handsome!

Siblings

I have been taking a class online to help me with my digital scrap booking skills.  It is a year-long class that gives me monthly assignments.  By the time the year is finished I should have a somewhat completed history of my self.  This is one of my latest pages that I made up of my siblings.  It has been a bit of a challenge doing pages all about me.  I much rather enjoy making pages up about others.  But this one was pretty fun because I got to write about my wonderful older brother and sister. Sure love em!

The journaling on the page reads:
It was nice growing up with siblings like you!
 -You were someone to SHOW me the way....Like golfing in the
back yard, and how not to break the picture glass window in the kitchen.
 -You were someone to teach me how to LOVE unconditionally....like pretending your feet were animals for me to play with so I would cuddle and kiss them.
 -You were someone to TEACH me how to clean properly....like how to clean out your drawers and if you find a stray bullet, you don't place it where you throw something heavy on top so it explodes and you end up all bloody.

 -You were someone to teach me by EXAMPLE....like don't go to
the swimming pool if your swimming suit top is not tied on properly.
-You were someone to show me how to SACRIFICE....like giving up two years of your life to serve the Lord on a mission.
 -You were someone who always SHARED with me....like after seeing a play you loved you got the record, cut stick figures from magazines and reenacted the entire play for me.
You were the best older brother and sister a little girl
could ask for.  Thanks for being that SOMEONE
special for me.
