In our lives these days there are so many things that are trying to
matter to us; emails, and phone calls, and advertisements and all these things
that kind of a barrage us,
but I feel like some of the strongest, happiest
moments that I've ever felt in my life are when I'm with my children,
when I'm with my family.
And it's when we come out and do things like this when we get away from the
world and we're just together as a family and we can relax, and
you know, laugh at each other, and mom says something crazy and
and that makes, you know, my brother Casey say something to her.
As we grow up and we get older and we all kind of go our own ways and we start
living our own lives,
you know, fulfilling our own dreams, it's really good to come back together and reconnect.
If we ever need anything we're always there for one another.
We talk to our family quite often by telephone
and they can say they're fine and everything's great,
but you don't get a true feel
of how their life is going in a five- minute telephone call.
But if you get together as a family you can see how their family
is together, how they are reacting together, and if they're happy or
if they have problems.
We all talk about it together, we all work it out together.
