The Cummings Chronicles: Aunt Michelle

I truly love being an aunt. Right now I have 12 nieces and nephews! I try to be the 'cool aunt' and have a special relationship with all of them. Here's a few fun pics of Aunt Michelle and her crew.

Here's Kollean and Ashley, who have had me as their aunt the longest of them all! They have each been out to Aunt Michelle's house for a week or weekend visit many times over the years. I'll have to go and dig out some old photos and scan them of Kollean's trips--they were all done before digital photography!

Here's a young aunt michelle with a younger version of the two lovely ladies pictured above!

I have been known to be a bit silly....

The classic Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil!

Here's Autumn, Dannon's oldest. Autumn has been out a few time to Colorado to visit. We took her on her first camping trip! She also got to go to Maryland and Washington DC with me this summer. We had a great time and walked our legs off seeing all of the monuments in DC. I don't get to see her enough right now since she is in college.

Here's Treyton, Dannon's second oldest. Treyton has been out to Colorado a few times as well. Once on a ski trip and once just for fun. He keeps his aunt up to speed on all the new Emo terms and looks. He makes me laugh and I just love him!

Here's Aunt Michelle being Emo with Autumn and Trey. We are the epitomy of cool.

This is Justin, Dannon's third. We haven't had the opportunity to have Justin out to Colorado yet but he's coming out for Spring Break this year. We are looking forward to having him out!

This is Miss Tayia, Derek's oldest. We hang out at Grandma and Grandpa's house when we are both in Norton. She and her twin sisters are coming out to Colorado next October for a long visit with us. We can't wait!

Here's our newest additions, Kyrsten and Ashleigh, Desiree's girls. I haven't had a photo op with them yet! I need to get on that! There's rumor of a Spring Break trip to Colorado for this crew as well. I can't wait to get to know Kyrsten and Ashleigh better.

Here is Andrew, Darren's youngest. He is all boy and we always have tons of fun when he comes to visit. He is a great older cousin for Dawson and Dylan. He's been out several times to visit. We always hit the amusement parks and water parks when he comes and have a blast.

This is Ashley, Darren's middle child. Ashley has been coming out to visit us every year since she was 5! Last year she got to go to San Diego with me on a trip. I let her drive the convertable around the block! I had 20 more gray hairs by the time we were finished.... :)

Last December we got to add Zachary to our bunch! He was just a tiny babe here! Dannon and Donnie are in the final stages of his adoption. He is such a cutie!
