One of the things that I am most thankful for is my family. Throughout my life, no matter what I have chosen to do, they have always been there to back me up and support me. These are a couple of pictures that I took over Christmas break to show my family how much I appreciate them.

This is a shot of some of my family and Grandparents. I am so thankful that my family has always been so close to each other, and always there to support each other.

My little sister Mackenzie. Mackenzie is a super active, super athletic little girl. She's always fun to be with and has an awesome sense of humor. Even though I will always be stronger than her, she still thinks that she can beat me up.

My mom is awesome! She works hard, and still has time to take care of her four kids. I would never have been able to do half the things I have done without her, including going to New River Academy. In her spare time, she likes to read, relax, play tennis, work out, and watch videos of stouts.

I am so thankful to my dad for providing me with amazing opportunities. He is the hardest working person I know, and he is also the reason why I have been able to travel to so many awesome places and do so many cool things. Thanks for supporting me Dad. In my dad's spare time he likes to do anything out doors. Camping, canoeing, fishing, hiking, and even a little kayaking!

My sister is awesome. She is a sick kayaker, and also the reason that I started kayaking. She is always working hard at everything she does, and she has become one of the best female kayakers that I know. I'm so thankful that even if none of my friends want to go kayaking, my sister Alexis Grace is always motivated to go.

My littler brother is a super talented kid. He has the best grades in his 8th grade class, and he is one of the few committed Bassoon players in Chattanooga. He practices every day, and has been selected to play in a bunch of honors bands. My brother Harrison is super fun to hang out with, and even though I can always beat him in Call of Duty, I still like to play him.

My Grandparents are the coolest people you will ever meet. They have always supported me in everything I do, and they always have good advice to give me when I have questions. They are the happiest and funniest people I know. And they love Sponge Bob.
Thanks to all of my family for being who you are and for supporting me!
