Alright Kate, I thought this was a good idea... hopefully I'm memorable enough :-)
1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

Wow...so many memories to choose from!!! I think my favorite memories were when we used to play swiss family robinson in the garage and backyard. You always played the mom.
I also remember finding our Christmas presents together the year we were getting cabbage patch dolls...we both picked which one we liked best and told mom and dad that you wanted one with hair and I didn't. I still can't believe that they didn't figure that one out.
I also remember when you punched my in the back cause I wouldn't let you watch what you wanted on the TV. You totally knocked the wind out of me and I remember thinking I would never win in a physical fight with you. :)
I remember you helping me put makeup on after I had just given birth to Tyler to help me feel better about myself.
Good times!!! Love you tons!!! Thanks for everything!!!
One of my favorite pictures of you, Jen, would have to be this picture that was taken by your Uncle Mike. Since I love golf so much, it is no surprise to me that this picture was taken on a green at a golf course! Note the golf ball
I was looking through some of my pictures and also looking at my personal history to help me with my “memory”. This is something that I wrote about you in 1981:
“Often at night I will ask you what was the neatest thing you did that day and one special night you said “being with you, mom.”
Jen, it has been wonderful “being your mom!”
Jen, I have so many sweet memories of you. You are seriously one of the best people I know. I remember when Jade and I stayed at your house when we were young and we all got into a fight with Kate, and your dad was trying to work it out with all of us and, at one point, I was explaining my side and crying and I looked over and you were crying too. I just remember feeling touched that you understood me.
I remember going to your place before Gabriel and I were married and you took our engagement photos. You were super nice and made me feel real comfortable. It's always been something to look forward to when I know you'll be somewhere (like at the company parties and family get together's). Gabe has always talked highly of you and your family. :)
Teaching you to drive stick! I mean, give a man a fish, right? That's a memory that's also useful.
I remember that! I remember having Kate's car to drive and rather than learning to drive stick (scary), I would walk to Safeway or where ever. Good thing I learned though. My next car was a stick!
That's right, the Beretta!! That car was a monster. Nothing like the Blue Beast or the Silver Bullet, though.
I just thought of another one...
Do you remember playing barbies at Grandma and Grandpa Yeager's? I had the barbie with the green bikini and yours had a purple one. Grandma made all kinds of barbie furniture for us. We played for hours and hours and took our barbies swimming in the irrigation canal.
Ahahaha...that just reminded of the time you gave me a bloody nose at Grandma Yeagers house. We both shared Mom's old bed and I guess you elbowed me in the nose or something...I didn't even wake up. :) Such good memories!!!!
Kate - I totally remember playing barbies! We always looked forward to going to grandma's 'cause we got to play with barbies, eat sugary cereal and spendless endless hours at water/theme parks! Plus eating out and spending time with grandma Yeager!
As far as sharing the same bed, I don't think I play/sleep well with others ;-) Actually, I think I might have been having a fight scene in my dream and I got you with the back of my fist! I was totally excited in my dream, but I woke up immediately and wasn't sure if I should wake you up! But then your nose started bleeding... I remember waking you and telling you that your nose was bleeding... it wasn't 'til later that I filled in the details.
