I woke up today with annoyance in my life, I mean read the previous post. On top of that their is snow on the ground and I somehow chipped my front tooth during the middle of the night and can't get into my dentist until Friday. I was grumpy but then I thought about my family. Boston and I are so lucky when it comes to the family department and I wanted to just write a little about them today.
These are my people.
First are my parents; Kevin and Eloise Ogden. I mean as far as married couples go, they are goals. They are so in love even after having been married as long as they have been. They still sit in the hot tub on the back deck at night together. My dad surprises my mom with flowers and mom mom loves picking out shirts she thinks he will look handsome in when she is shopping. They love going on vacation together, watching movies together, car rides together... they just love being together. I can call either of them at any time of the day and the day and they would do whatever they could to help me.
Boston is the youngest grandkid and she is lucky because all seven of her older cousins spoil her rotten. It has been so fun for me that three of them are now teenagers and I have completely loved going out of my way to be as an embarrassing aunt to them as I can be. 
In our family their are just three girls and I am the youngest. Just like Boston being spoiled by her older cousins I have always been spoiled by my two older sisters. They are so good to me, better to me than I sometimes deserve. Between them and my parents Boston's crib, cradle, changing table, carseat, stroller, high-chair, various blanket, clothes and diapers came from them and I will always be grateful for their support.
The oldest out of us three is Alicia and she is married to Rob Lesser. She has three kids and it has been so fun that her youngest is so close in age to Boston and they are best friends. Alicia is the most talented person and the one I go to whenever I have a craft idea in my head that I want to come to life. Alicia and Rob watch Boston whenever I need them to and all of their kids are great help. Rob has become like a brother to me and I look up to him so much.
The middle child in our family of three girls is Emily and she is married to Kyle Chatterton. They have four kids and they are amazing parents to them along with being two of the hardest workers I have met. I don't really know a lot about the concrete business but I do know that my brother-in-law, Kyle, is an amazing and hard worker and he owns Incredible Concrete if you need work done. 
I am the youngest and my family right now is just Boston and I and I don't think I would change that arrangement for the world.
That is my family in a nutshell.... I could go on and on about each one of them and all of their amazing qualities. We are a tight bunch. I sometimes take for granted the fact that we are so close and I see at least one of them at least once a day. Of course we disagree at times and we bicker but we always have each others back. If you have ever done me wrong just know my family know's and they don't like you... kidding... kind of.
I have seen some pretty heated debates lately and although it is hard to find a resolution these debates the one thing I know for sure is the importance of families. I brought my daughter into the world in a single parent household and I have never felt that it is as hard as it could be because of all of the support from my family. Everyone always says it takes a village to raise a child and I know that my village is top notch. So, Wiz Khalifa, thank you for your lyrics; you were right.
