Members of My Family
I am going to tell you a little about my family members and what they do. I will
start with my dad. My dad’s name is Steven (Steve). My dad and I look a lot alike. The only
difference rally is that his eyes are blue whereas mine are green/hazel. That is pretty much
our only physical difference. My dad and I both like to play the guitar. My dad works as the
director of maintenance on the airplanes for Joe Gibbs Racing. Coming with that job is the
responsibility of making sure the important people like Joe Gibbs himself and his NASCAR
drivers get to their destinations. It is a big job but it comes with many perks.
My mom really likes history. She has a college degree in history and hopes to
become a high school history teacher. My mom and I don’t really have any physical
similarities but we do think and act alike. I got some of my athletic skills from her because
she played softball and basketball growing up like I do now. I love her and I am glad she is
my mom.
My brother comes next. My brother and I do look somewhat alike. We have different interests, but that is common in brothers and
sisters. We have both played on a basketball team before and he was even one of my coaches when I was smaller. We have been through
good and bad times together and fought with each other, but we do love each other either way. My brother is pretty tall. He goes to
Kennesaw State University in Georgia. He is going to graduate in December of this year and he is getting married. He is majoring in
foreign affairs which is seems pretty confusing to me. This will give him a chance to many great opportunities though. He will be joining
the Air Force soon so he can go to law school. He hopes to become a lawyer and I know he will be great at it.

I am going to tell you about the pets I have because
I do consider them family. If you live near it and feed it, its
family. I have three dogs and one rat… yes I typed rat.
My dogs are really weird. They are definitely not normal but
they are good anyway and that’s all that matters. My dog
Buddy is an Akita and Australian Shepherd mix. This is
where the weird kicks in. Buddy has one blue eye and one
brown eye. He also has webbed feet… WEBBED FEET! He
is a good dog though no matter his quirks. My other dog is a
Doberman named Kenzie. She is the biggest chicken ever
even though she is big and a DOBERMAN for crying out
loud! She is a good dog though and I do not know what it
would be like without her… less entertaining probably.
My last dogs name is Moose. She (and yes it’s a she) is a
beagle-basset hound mix. She is small, but her bark really
isn’t. In fact, it’s REALLY annoying! At least she is our
personal siren so we know when someone pulls up to our
house. She is sweet though. I would definitely miss her…
but not that annoying bark.
I do have a rat and I know what
you’re thinking: “Ewe rat!” Well they are
definitely nicer than gerbils and hamsters by
the way to all gerbil and hamster lovers that
get bitten a lot…uh huh. I got Cheddar two
Christmas’s ago. Christmas 2010 will be my
third year with her… Cheddar is a girl.
Cheddar is one goofy rat though. She likes to
jump on the side of the cage and cling to it so
she can stare at you. It’s really funny. She also
watches TV. If you have it on, she’ll just stare
at it through her cage. She is really smart too.
She has gray fur even though she is called a
“blue rat”… I don’t know where they got blue
from. She is really nice and I am glad I have
her now that she doesn’t bite me anymore .(I
don’t have a picture of her though…
My AnimalsYes animals are family.
No I don’t eat them.

annoying animals.”

regular cousins. He is pretty cool and we have a lot in common. I also have
a papaw who is my dad’s dad. I don’t see them much since Alabama is a ten
hour drive from here . My other grandparents are on my mom’s side in
Tennessee. I call them “Nana and Papaw”. They just moved to Tennessee.
My papaw is a retired army officer. He and my nana are originally from
Tennessee they moved back up there from Georgia. I see them sometimes
but not all the time like I want to see them and my family in Alabama.
Whenever I do see them though, we have fun and my nana and I go
shopping and my papaw takes me to a movie. We have lots of fun.

More Family
Grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles
My grandparents and cousins
live in different states. On my dad’s
side, my Grannie and Pop live in
Alabama along with my dad’s brothers,
sister, and my cousins. My Uncle John
and Aunt Ashley have Kayla and Alex
who are my two younger cousins. They
are little red-heads and the only red-
heads in my family for that matter (we
are all blonde). Then My Uncle Mike
and Aunt Carrie have Casi and Sofie
who are my youngest cousins. Casi is
the wild one since Sofie is still only a
baby. My Aunt Cindy and Uncle Charlie
just have my cousin Blake, the oldest
one of my cousins. I don’t see him much
but when I do, he is fun to be around.
Then there is my dad’s Aunt Dot (who I
just consider my aunt and not my great
aunt), Uncle Mike (another Mike), and
their son Graeme who is really my
second cousin but we just think of each
other as just
Sydney Cole’s newsletter on her family. Isn’t it great?!
