I was reading someone's blog Saturday night, and she had posted this interview that she had given three of her friends over the phone. I thought it seemed like it would be pretty fun to call up my siblings and so I did. I used mostly the same questions as she did but some of my own.

This was really great, Even though I don't know your family. I laughed the whole time at some of the answers. It make we want to have a lot of kids and live in the country....or something. We'll see.
This was such a great idea! I'm totally going to do it! It's so funny how much your family loves the Louis L'Amour books - My dad collected them - I think I've read almost all of them - your mom would be jealous - I've read all the Sacketts!! Someday I plan on getting my own collection. It was neat getting to know your family a bit.
Oh, that was an AWESOME post! Loved it.
You have a great family.
so funny! the different resposes are so interesting!
Definitely interesting Kayli
Shari
another family who loves Louis L'Amour and Megan Whalen Turner as much as mine does! Seriously, I think my parents have almost everything Louis L'Amour ever wrote (and everything by Luke Short too).
I thought it interesting not only that we chose Lous L'Amour, but even a couple specifically chose the Walking Drum. Just goes to show its the best book.
That's soo fun! Such a great idea!
That was fun to read Kayli - you need to post your answers!!
