Who doesn't love cuddling with a newborn baby? Also, this was probably staged because who would let their 3 year old hold their infant for more than 2.5 seconds? I have no memory of this picture.

1. This is probably the only time in history that I wore a bow....
2. I'm not sure if this was the occasion, but once, when we were getting professional pictures made, Lauren would NOT STOP CRYING. The photographer had to go out of the room, and my dad had to actually snap the photo instead.

This is one of the many jewels from our family trip to Orlando. We went to Disney World, Universal Studios, and Sea World. We rode all of the rides were were tall enough for!

My mom had a set of pictures made during fall break one year. Considering we were both really awkward at this time of life, we got a lot of great photos. We never held hands in real life, but this sure is a cute shot, huh?

I have no idea where this picture was taken, other than we were in a tow away zone.

This picture is from our trip to Cancun! We had a blast on this trip! Also, look, I'm wearing the exact same outfit from 2 years ago...

Originally, I thought this picture was from one of our many family vacations to the beach, but after closer analysis, I see that the ground is grass and not sand. Whether it was getting in trouble for going to the workout room (because we didn't tell our parents) or going down to the beach to "flirt" with some random boys (ew) or take tons of selfies before selfies were a thing, we usually managed to find some interesting things to do.

Lauren and I were both in band. I know I have a lot of memories that include band functions, and in many of them, Lauren was there also. This is from the last year that we did marching band together.

This is from the one of the best weeks of my life. The Murray State men's basketball team made it to the NCAA tournament and 30 racer pep band members got to go and play on TV. After we beat Vandy, we got to stay in California for several more days. This picture was taken at the end of a long, long day of 8 college kids taking a train to San Fransisco and then to Santa Cruz. It was a great day and an overall awesome trip!

We bought these dresses together after seeing our cousin, Kaitlynn sport it at church one day. Yes, we all have the same dress, and yes it looks completely different on all 3 of us.

I'm so looking forward to Lauren's wedding day when I get to be her Matron of Honor!

This was from Resurrection Sunday, the other day. She was not feeling well, but she still looks great! Shoutout to the dress we bought in 2012!
I'm excited to continue to make memories as our lives move forward. It will be fun to include Nathan and Blake in our memories together, also!
Everyone, take some time to think about some good memories you had with your sibling(s). If you want to share, feel free to leave a comment below. But at the very least, call them up and tell them how much you love them!
I love you, Lauren! I'm so glad God blessed me with a sister, back when I was almost 3!
And lets not forget this gem. To be clear, I was sick...
Thanks Grandmama, Mom, and Facebook for helping me gather all of these beauties.
