My Sisters!! Get ready, this one's long! :)

I was thinking about life today and what some of my favorite things are. I decided that one of my absolute favorite things in life is having sisters!! I am so lucky, because I not only have 5 fabulous sisters, but I have 6 totally wonderful and fun sister in laws. They are all fantastic and we all get along great! I am in awe of each ones talents and strengths, and they give me such good examples to strive to be like. So, whether they like it or not, their pics get to be splattered all over this blog so everyone who reads it can know how special they are to me! (And Clint still has 6 more brothers that will eventually get married and give me more awesome sisters! Yes, it's all about me. haha)



The Mangum Sista's

L to R top row first: Jessica Hughes lights up a room. She knows how to have fun and make me laugh like no other. She's also one of the only people I can stay on the phone with for a long time. (I just don't like talking on the phone, but she lives in Virginia and I miss her way tooo much!); Rachel Mangum is the go getter! Rachel was my Ricks College roomie and ended up marrying my only brother... how lucky am I! She can do anything and has a strong will that I envy often!; Me (3 weeks after giving birth... good thing I'm in the back row!! haha); Jennifer Kouba (my older sister) is my forever trusting friend. Ever since we were little we could talk about anything (ooh, and I mean anything. haha). She is the kindest person and loves to do anything to make others happy... plus she can throw a great party!; Jody Moser is perfect... well, that's what we all used to say growing up. She makes righteous choices always so she is my CTR example. And ever since she married Josh she's got the best fashion sense!; Kristin Loock is my sister that I never want to grow up (even though she is married now and lives in Utah). She's the adventurous baby in the family, and loves to be out doing stuff, anything. She loves to play, play, play and is so funny! She gives the BEST HUGS too.; Shannon Petty, I have to say, is such a great mom to her 3 kids. She is a great example of patience and steadfastness. She has great family home evenings and seems to always talk with a quiet voice (which is completely unheard of in my family!!). haha. I love my sisters!!

Dorky picture!!


The Campbell Gals


Clockwise from Center (mom Campbell...so cute and tiny, but a giant example of faith and love); Rochelle Benson is Clint's youngest sister. I love watching her being a first time mom to her sweet little Mackiepoo. She is so kind to others and puts her family first. She always has kind words to say about others, but my favorite thing about Shelly is the little streak of rebel she's got in her... you know you got it girl.; Allison's got a special place in my heart, not only because she's married to Clint's twin, Clay, but because I've know her since we were kids. She is brave and supportive of her husband, and she is so dang fun to hang around. She's got the best laugh/giggle known to mankind, and it is highly contagious!; Jeni's got it all together! I envy her organizational skills and cleanliness above anyone elses. She's a great person to be around and I love just sitting and talking to her.. and to be honest, it's so nice to call her cause when she answers the phone she always sounds happy... oh- and she's way fun to go to disneyland with! :); Me; Ashley is the cutest thing ever! I thought she was so shy, until I got to know her... not shy., She is so motivated and is so smart. She's got the most beautiful skin (I've never seen her wear makeup.. and she doesn't need it) and most adorable smile ever.; Rebecca Gibson is Clint's other sister who is only a year younger then me. I've always looked up to her. She is the most thoughtful, caring person ever. She puts others before herself always and is such an awesome mom. I love Bec, because I feel like I could call her or come over anytime day or night for anything and she'll be there with a smile on her face and a shoulder to lean on. She is so funny too. I could hang out with her all the time. I love my sisters! Two Hotties!

Ok, I sacraficed my dignity posting this picture. :) Whatever you do, do not enlarge this picture!

Allioop, me, Bec, Shell, Jo

I love that my family and Clint's family are crazy about eachother too!

Are these two the most adorable chics ever!! Clint's got the cutest sisters!

Yikes... have a kind thought please (I was due a couple weeks after this picture). I love going out to eat, movies, or anywhere with my sisters... Mama C, Bec and Z, Me, Shell and Mack

Jennifer, Rachel, Mom and Krissy at piano, Me, and Shannon (the little kid is my Emma)

Ok.. I had to post this picture, because one of the funniest things me and my sisters do is sing together. Not that we totally suck or anything, but we can never do it without cracking up and having fun! It's to the point of ridiculous. We make fun of eachother, we sing off key (that's not always on purpose, but it's always funny), we dance (yes, while singing), and at times we have to be seperated from eachother for the good of the song. My mom acts a little annoyed after about an hour of this, but seriously, I think she thinks it's just as funny as we do. haha.


This post could've been way longer with way more pictures, but ya gotta stop somewhere!!

Hear, hear! There's just something about having sisters huh? I look at my 3 girls and it so clearly takes me back to my childhood with my 2 sisters. Some of my best memoreis are of just me and my sisters just being crazy together! Thanks for the great post. :)

Its fun to hear about your relationship with your sisters. I really do think that sisters share a special bond. I have always wished I had a sister but hopefully when my brother gets married I'll get to have one. In the mean time I have tons of great friends who get to take the place of biological sisters. I hope my girls continue to be so close. Its so fun to see them together. BTW-tell Clint he did a great job on Thursday. The kids loved it! (especially him showing his "tool" belt) Thank you so much.

Shelly Benson said...

Oh Michelle, you were way too generous with the comments you made about me... but you're right about the rebel streak.

I'm so glad you married Clint. Having you as a part of our family and at all the get-togethers is the best... it's always fun when you're there. Also, thank you for your example of unconditional love and non-judgmental attitude. I love ya, sis!

Shelly Benson said...

One more thing - I love all of your sisters too... on the Campbell and Mangum sides. They're all so awesome.

Allison said...

I second that-I love all your sisters too. You are so lucky to have me in your life.
I would leave it at that, but just in case you don't know that I am joking, I need to say so-I am joking. Seriously, you are right about how great your sisters are. I know that I can speak for everyone by saying that we all love you too, and that there are way too many great qualities to list about you! It seems like you are all of the things that you wrote about your sisters, except for being righteous. Again-I am kidding.

I love that you have so many sisters to share life with. Isn't it the best. Sadly I don't have nearly as many as you've been blessed with but I would love a dozen or so more. Good thing for friends!
Also, you and your stories on your blog crack me up. I'm always so excited to see what your clan is up to!

Your family is so cute. How lucky you are to have so many sisters.

Nancy and I are going to the temple on Saturday morning. Do you want to come with us?
