In the thought of looking back on those many memories we have, I was thinking of a particular family tradition we have...
Our family has always been VERY BIG on certain things. For one thing, we LOVE giving eachother back rubs, scratches, and massages. When we were younger we used to form "trains" in which we would rotate so everyone had a back rub and time to sit and just enjoy. So this last general conference we were watching in October, Wendy asked me to rub her back, and then Jason came and plopped down infront of her. As soon as Matt realized the train had started, he jumped on too. Terra lucked out with being in front, and just got sit and enjoy! My mom loves when we do things like this....i guess it "looks like" we love eachother. We really do though!
So my mom snapped a picture of this....
Alex was sitting next to me, and did rub my back for a little bit too! Fun stuff! I love that this has always been a family tradition of ours! I suggest others to begin this.... it helps you all relax and show some love! We are sad that Tyson is not with us right now...he was always one of the best massagers... of course the rest of us are getting a lot better with practice. When he returns from his mission I am sure we will be doing many many many backrubbing trains!

What a great tradition...my husband can't appreciate a good back rub since he is so ticklish...so haven't gotten too many of them...but I have gone and had them done! Which is great! What a great picture of you all! Too cute...Can you believe Tyson has been gone almost a year? How is he doing?
That's cute, I know how your mom feels.
Tyson is doing really good! Tom and Suzy actually got to spend about 1 1/2 hours with him last week. Tom had a business meeting in West Virginia, and since they were so close, they arranged to take Tyson and his companion out for dinner. The mission president approved, so that was pretty cool. Suzy said he's got the whole spanish accent down and his spanish just flows, so thats pretty cool to hear. I think I will have to do a post about Tyson, and put some pictures up, that would be fun!
hahaha nice!! ours was more of me in church, going from one big sister to another trying to get my back scratched.... thats about as close as it got. i never got too much though... =(
How fun!
