huggin, kissin, and lickin.

the other day,
i spent a few hours reading my mom’s journal…
its not what you think.
It was a journal she kept while raising her six children.
She tried to write down the funny things
we said throughout the years.
here are my favorite:
When i was three years old,
my mom and dad’s door was shut and i said,
“What you doin? huggin and kissin?”

My sister was four when she called my mom ‘stupid.’
My mom told her “that’s a sin,”
so my sister quickly replied,
“But God forgives sins.”

My two year old brother was licking my moms shirt,
so she asked why,
he replied, 
“i’m lickin you because I love you!”

Another brother received a golf club (my dad’s old one) for Christmas
and after opening it, he said,
“Santa used it already…”
Later on in the journal,
my Mom wrote: 
“Lea loves to write stories and poems and also take pictures.
I hope she continues and makes something from it!”
and here i am.
23 years old
and writing stories
and taking pictures for my job.
Life is Good.
i took the following images when i was about 6 years old.
They are the earliest photos i found,
minus the few of my mom that she wouldnt appreciate plastered on my blog.

(i took a photo of a photo so the quality is junk.)

how cute is my brother?!

his pose…. his belly….. his diaper…. hahah:)

lastly, i discovered the origin of my nickname “Weezy”
or more commonly, “Weez” or “Weezy-Butt.”
My dad started calling me Weezy when i was 6 months old!
No one had any idea when or who started this trend until we read the journal:)

This was a Christmas present from my brother this year:
 so creative!
(also, you cant go wrong with using paper bags as wrapping paper!)
