Our Main House in Wyoming.

I am the 5th out of 8 children. I was born in Yakima Washinton, moved to Sydney Montana before i was 2. That's where my younger sister was born. A year after that we moved to Medicine Bow Wyoming, where my youngest brother was born. We stayed there for 14 years but we're always moving houses every couple years. We finally settled in the house I remember the most, a light pink double wide with an add on on the front and the back. 3 rooms total, our parents got the master bed and bath of course, then all 4 boys shared a room and the 3 of us girls shared a room. I know that's only 7 kids, but the 8th won't show up until 2010. The house had a nice sized kitchen, and living room, but the laundry room was tiny, always seemed to be filthy no matter how much or hard it was cleaned, and the the rubber tile floor was cracking. Wallpaper was peeling off the walls in every room and never got fixed. The rooms were small for the amount of kids piled in each room, and the carpets were a yellow and brown shag that looked like they'd just walked in from the 60's. We had a large garage that we never used for cars, but for storage, it was old and falling apart a bit anyway. There were 2 apple trees, one crabapple and one small green apple, in the backyard. There was also another small shed which we never went in much. Kevin used it for his ammo shed. He liked hunting and would make his ammo as a hobby.
When our youngest brother, Alex, got to moving around and playing, the youngest 3 of us kids became our own little group who did most things together. During the summer we used to climb the apple trees and find good ones to eat. The crab apples were bitter so we didn't like them so much, but the green apples were our favorite. We could climb the crab apple tree and get onto the roof of the shed and sometimes we'd just sit up there. One day we got an old mattress  and put it at the back of the shed, because the back of the shed was on the other side of the fence, and our parents couldn't see us. Then we would jump off the roof of the shed and onto the mattress. We were all fairly little so we didn't get hurt when we landed on the mattress, but we sure were afraid when jumping. Then as time went on, My younger sister, Elizabeth, and I had been the dinamic duo for a long time, we cut each other's hair and got into trouble together. Then we got older and Liz and Alex were the ones who stuck together and I was the odd one out. But I would soon learn that that worked to my advantage.
