Questions about Childhood1. What is the earliest event in your life you can remember? Tell me about it.
I don't know which is the earliest. I remember being potty trained, so maybe that. I remember hiding in my friends closet when we lived in via Bahia and dad was looking for me to try and come home. I remember going to grandma greats house when she lived in utah and I remember having a nightmare about my stuffed animal fru fru and dad walking me around the side of the house to show me that there where no monsters. That was in the via fiesta house, so it was a little later.
2. How did your parents choose your name?
I don't actually know that. I've only been told that Chanelle wanted to name me tinkerbelle.

In Mission Viejo.
4. How did you travel or go places in those days?
Mostly in cars, we had a station wagon and it had seats in the trunk. We alsways wanted to sit in them.

felt and what you did when your younger brothers or sisters were born? How about _____?
Chanelle, Me, Tiffany, Ryan, Mallorie, Kristen and Ariel, Chase, Spencer, Sierra. Since I was 1 1/2 when Tiffo was born I don't really remember my emotions. I remember thinking Ryan was crying really weird and then I realized it was Mallo the night she came home from the hospital. I was excited about everyone.

6. What experiences do you remember having with your brothers and sisters?
Once me and Tiffo tried to catch santa. we made a hide out behind a plant in the living room and started storing barbies and food in it to prepare for sleeping there overnight. Mom found it though, so we were out of luck. Tiffo and I also used to play a game called "store" with Megan and Ashley down the street. We would but things with fake money and keep them. We never played it at our house though. We didn't have a toy cash register. We also had this game called spooky dark hall...I don't remember all of it, but I'm assuming we turned off all the lights in the hall. We had a secret passage way between the bedrooms, but you could only go there if you could figure out the password. It was a beautiful, magical place, but the little kids could never figure out how to get there. We also would play Queen and servant. Tiffany and I would be the queens first and mallo would be our servant...but we would get "bored" of the game before we ever switched. We also figured out how to make Chase turn invisible. We would throw a blanket over his head, say a magic word and then no one would be able to "see" him. He believed he could become invisible till he was about 12.
