Family:)

Hello hello:) I'm gonna start this one out by saying that I LOVE MY FAMILY. Through the ups and downs, the fights, forgiveness-es, and everything we've been through together, the good times definitely weigh out the bad.

Daddy-O: 

        Aka: Pills-berry dough boy, Faja, Helga, Chad, CJ, and Budda.

Similar Traits: I am sooooo stubborn. Just like he is. I have a giving heart. Not as giving as he does but its there. I love to sing, and dance. I am very creative and can make anything out of nothing. I have really big rib bones and a huge forehead. both traits of my dad. I have his eyes, nose, and his blonde hair (what little hair he has left) And I am very opinionated.

My Dads name is Chadley John Bird. He went to Springville High school, and Was considered a cow-boy Jock dude.

My Dad is the most giving man in the whole world. Especially to his kids. He would do anything for us at the drop of a hat. Which got him in trouble sometimes with our Mom:) My dad is a full on Renascence man. He can cook, clean, sew, build ships, do hair and makeup, He sings and dances.  He fixes cars, computers, and If you have a broken heart, his hugs fix everything. He is very proud of all of his kids and accomplishments. And Loves my Mom more than any man can love his wife, There's a bond there that I cant even comprehend. I guess that bond comes when you have kids and grow old with eachother. (yes, I'm calling you both old)  Growing up, I always wanted to marry a man like my daddy. I think I've found one in Zac:) I will always be my Daddy's little girl. He has always known how to make me laugh and always held me when I've cried. I love you Dad.

Mother Dearest 

(she hates when I call her that, it makes her feel old)

        Aka: Mommy, Mama, Midget Mac, oompa loompa, Eesa, Yoda 

Similar traits: I have my moms exact Temper. When I feel threatened or mad, I retract into my shell, I go quiet and just think. Everyone says I look exactly like my mom:) I'm small like her. not as small, but small:) I have her personality, very outgoing. I have her "getting things done" drive. My mom and I think alot alike, and are easily offended but don't show it. We are very polite towards others and very friendly. I also Love to help people in need. I like to think I have my moms heart. There is alot of room in there for everyone.

My Moms name is Lisa Eden Bird (Lisa, thats where I get my middle name from) She went to Payson High School, and Was considered a Preppy Drill team girl:)

My Mom is the most accepting woman in the world. If anyone needs help, she's there. It doesn't matter if she doesn't know you very well, or if she doesn't like you very much. If you need her, She will be there. My mom has a huge heart, And loves without fail. She doesn't take sides, and she listens with more than just her ears but by being there. My mom LOVES kids! She's a first grade teacher, she kinda has to like them a little bit. She also Loves her family unconditionally, I've made so many mistakes in my life, I would understand if my parents didn't love me. but not this set of parents, they have always loved me no matter what. My parents have supported me in EVERYTHING I do. Even if they didn't think it was a good idea. I have said some things to my mom that I wish I could take back.(I think most Mom/daughter relationships have this happen at one point or another) She does so much for me and there has been moments when I've just snapped at her. So I guess this is me publicly apologizing to her for getting frustrated at her because of a difference of opinion. I'm sorry Mom. I took you for granted far to often. I wish I could repay you for all the things you've done for me. You are my rock. and I love you.


My parents Met at a drive in movie theater when They were in high school. I know my mom will say this isn't how it happened.. but She flung herself out of the car and yelled "Hey boys!" Needless to say, my Dad was in the 'boy' car that night. My parents made out during that entire movie... sick. My mom always says that my Dads kissing was how she knew he was special.. again.. gross.. So after the Make out session My Dad drove my Mom home. Little Did he know, my mom lived clear out in Spring lake, which is about 45 minutes from where they were at the time. When they finally got to the house, my mom was getting out of the car and my Dad said "I'm going to marry you." And Folks.. That's where it all began! On December 11th 1987 ( I think) My parents were married in the Jordan River temple.

♪♫Chad and Lisa, sitting in a tree K-I-SS-ING, First comes Love. then comes Marriage, Hey! there's Colton in a baby Carriage!♪♫

by order of appearance 

Boog
aka Colton

Colton Chadley Bird Was born on August 17th, 1989 (the first child of many) If your keeping up, you'll notice that Colton's Middle name is the same as my dads. Colt is JUST LIKE MY DAD! if my dad had a cloning machine, his "Mini-Me" would be Colton. And my Dad definently spoils him like his clone:) Growing up, the memory that sticks out in my mind about Colt, is that he has a big heart and alot to offer. He has never been the person that leaves someone out of the group. He is a very humble person, and very easy to talk too. He's come a long way to be the person that he is, and I am very proud of him. I love you Colt:)

Eureka

(Eureka good as gold)

Erika Lenereaux Bird was born on September 29th, 1990 And her nickname suits her well. If you cut her open and took out her heart I'm sure it would be made of pure gold. She is undoubtedly the most unselfish person, I have ever met. She gets her temper from my dad though:p I wish I could be as giving as Erika is. She isn't afraid to be who she is, and if anyone has a problem with it, they can shove off. She is GOREGOUS!  I have to plaster a whole lot of makeup on my face to look as good as this girl does naturally. Dont even get me started on her hair... SOOO JEALOUS.. sigh.. if only. Erika and I are the best of friends. we can go from singing at the top of our lungs to having a heart to heart conversation within minutes. I love you Erika.

Dal

(the little brother is always the favorite and the most spoiled.. its just how it is)

Dallan John Bird Born February 17th, 1994. Dallan is the person I went to and talked to about anything, and he did the same for me. We would literally stay up all night talking about what was on our minds. Dal Gives the same hugs as my dad does. You know, the ones that make every bad thing in the world just disappear? Dal also has a big heart (I think thats a common trait in our family) He loves with no regard to himself. He knows who he is, and doesn't care what anyone else thinks about it. He loves to love (like me!) Dallan is a mix of both my mom and dad. He's very understanding like my mom, but has a temper like my dad. He's always there for you and supports you in anything you choose to do. I love you Dal

Savvy

(the new addition to the Bird clan, Welcome to the family)

Savannah Schindler Bird Born Feb 10th, 1992 If God created a twin for me, made her 50% darker and a little more hyper, that would be Savannah:) Savvy is Married to Colt (Awww, now you see the connection) They were Married May 14th, 2011. Savannah is amazing. She and Colt go together so well and really compliment eachother as a couple. She is very fun and easy going and fits into the craziness of our family:) I love you Savvy!

Chia

(I don't care what you say Zac, this is a cute nickname!) 

Zachry Austin Gavin Born April 7th, 1992. (yes, I am older than him, thanks for noticing) This Husband of mine is alot like my father, he cares so deeply for me and would do literally ANYTHING for me. Zac has one thing that none of us possess.. Patience. Zac and I have never once gotten it a fight. I've never heard him yell, not even raise his voice at me. Its like he doesn't have a temper. He loves to talk:) and we talk about EVERYTHING. It bugs him when I don't tell him whats on my mind. We tease each other all the time. The word 'Jerk' is used everyday in our household. Zac loves Video games (thats why Zac and Dallan get along so well) He is very noble and stands up for what is right. Zac is selective to whom he gives his love too. Unlike me, he doesn't throw it out to just anyone. He is very protective of himself and his family. Zac is the sweetest man I have ever had the privilege of being with, he Kisses me whenever he gets the chance and is constantly telling me that he loves me. Literally he will say it 20 to 50 times a day, Even when we were just dating. Zac is very silly and we are constantly running around the house chasing each other:) And he wants 6 kids.. okay that last bit was a lie.. 

That's my family for you. We have our ups and downs and we're not perfect, but who is? Its hard being away from the people I love. It gets lonely at times, but there's a bond between family that you cant duplicate. Its like wherever I am, I feel them with me. I feel their Love. And a Families Love is Eternal:)
