Meet my family

♥Other things may change us but we start and end with family♥

To me family means that they're always going to be in your life no matter what. Family means that they love you for who you are and will always stick by your side through thick and thin. A family will never leave you hanging. A family is a pack, a bond.

My family is kind of crazy.  I have a mom and a dad, of course... but along with that I also have a step mom, three step brothers, and one step sister.  I have only one real, full blood, sister and I am glad to call her my own! 
My family has been through alot but throughout it all we have been there for each other.

As I said before my parents got divorced when I was about 11.  It was kind of tough, but I realize now that it was for the best.  Both of my parents are better off now from it, and I'm happy for them. 

MOM: Kristen Seedall, lives in Smithfeild, Utah.  As well as my little sister, Kennedy Schow.  They both are amazing!  Me and my mom have had alot of ups and downs and for about a year we didn't talk... but the two of us are good now and its good to have my mom back in my life!  Growing up my mom was always there.  She taught me everything she could, from learning how to read to tying my shoes... she always made sure I knew right from wrong and always made sure she was around.  She stayed home with us day to day and showed us what a real mom should be like... then I grew up and teenagers think they know EVERYTHING soo I turned away from her and let things like that slip from my mind.  But now that I have outgrown the rebellion stages, I realize that I really didn't know everything... and my  mom actually knew what she was talking about! Hahah.

KENNEDY: My little sister is simply amazing.  She definantly got the Schow genes and plays pretty much every sport she possibly can.  From basketball, to volleyball, to soccer, and softball.  She does it all!  I'm trying this new thing out called "being a big sister" that I neglected for quite some time... but now I am trying to be someone she can look up to and hopefully follow in my footsteps.

 

DADDY: Jeff Schow, is the best dad ever.  He is hard working and very caring of others.  I feel like alot of people respect him and thats how I want to be someday.  From the time I was little, he always made sure we were supported and always made sure we were happy.  At the time I just thought he didn't want to be around us, but now that I am older and more mature I understand that he was just out making a living and making it so that we could have everything we ever wanted.  Now that I have grown up a little more me and him have an awesome bond and I wouldn't trade it for anything. 

ANGELICIOUS: His new wife, my step mom, has helped me alot.  She has taught me alot of life long lessons, and helped me to grow up.  She brought me out of things that I probably wouldn't have been able to get out of on my own and I am very thankful for that.  Sure, we have our ups and our downs but when it comes down to it she is a wise woman and knows what she is talking about. 
Her kids, my step siblings, are pretty cool too! :)

 

RJ: is 20 and he attended Lamar Community College for 2 years to play baseball, he finished that and now is headed off to Boise along with my step sister Carrie who is 19. 

CARRIE: and I have our ups and our downs too.  We go through stages where we are so close its not even funny, and then we don't talk for months.  I don't really know why this happens but no matter what I love that girl to death... then there is Nick. 

NICKOLAS: He is the same age as me.  He is pretty lazy but I love that kid.  He is hopefully planning on going to play ball somewhere too this fall.  Last but not least... there is Jake!

JAKE: I don't even know where to begin with that little brat.  He can be out of control and at times I just want to smack him upside the head... but when its all said and done I would do anything for him and he is tons of fun.  He makes my days less boring and makes me laugh when he isn't beating up on me hahah

It's a love hate relationship

I owe these two it all.

When its all said and done your family is the ones that always are going to be there, there always going to have your back and pick you back up when you've fallen down.  Thats one thing that I have learned over the years and its something we all overlook at times.
I owe everything to my family and even though we don't always see eye to eye on things I know they will be there for  me when I need them.
Thanks for everything guys, I love you and always will!
