I remember one time my mother, brother(Joe) and I went to Pennsylvania to meet my other brother(Tom) and his wife and Kids. We deceided we were going to Hershey, Pa from our Hotel. We were following each other in our cars. We made one turn and down this road and out came these people with shotguns and thought we were invading their properties. You never saw 2 cars make a quick U-turn and make out way back up the road and on our way. We finally made it to Hershey, Pa. and had a good time.

With our size family there are many stories that come to mind. The one that comes first is when we were sitting in the local town cafe eating. We had all the children with us for supper. It was a birthday gathering. We had already ordered and was visiting while waiting for our food when the youngest boy says he has to go to the bathroom.
As I bringing him there they were bringing some of our food to our table. So I set him on the pot (he had to do the BIG job as we called it) I came back out to help the other kids with cuting the food and get them eating. Was going right back in there.
All of a sudden laughter breaks out all over the cafe. I turn around and here is the youngest one with toilet paper roll in hand, pants down to his ankles, he looks up at me and says "mommy wipe my butt." I believe I turned red from the tip of my toes to the tip of my hair. This could tie for my most embarrasing moment also, don't you think so too?

We had two hound dogs named Obie and Chico. Every time company would come to the door, they would raise hell trying to get at them. We would have to put them in the bedroom until company left. One time when Heidi had a date she said, don't forget to put the dogs in the bedroom. So, Wes put them in his room. As Heidi and her date were going out the door, Wes let the dogs out. They were fighting and growling with each other to be first to the door to try to light into her date. They were really making a lot of noise. We thought it was funny, but Heidi was so embarrassed. We always wondered what her date thought.

The only one I can think of right now is when Wes and I were little. Mom and Dad took us fishing someplace where there were many huge rocks. We played and had a fun time. At some point while mom and dad were fishing, Wes and I decided we had to go to the bathroom (#2). We thought it would be fun to go on every rock that we could. Mom wasn't very happy with us to say the least.
