Introducing the family

It occurred to me the other day, that I've been blogging for over three years, and while I've talked about my family a lot, I've never actually introduced them.

Yeah, weird, right?

If you're new here,* you've probably gathered that I have a big family, and if you've been around for a while,** you've probably figured that it's mostly made up of girls.

*Waves at you
**Waves at you too.

But basically that's all I've said, so I figured.....

It's time.

So I'm going to introduce you to my family, using gifs.

It's gonna be a good time.

I'm number seven in a family of eleven, I have nine sisters, one brother, eleven nieces, two nephews, a few more on the way, and I've actually lost count of first cousins. (something like a hundred. Right around there.)


I will not be introducing my cousins. Or my nieces and nephews.*

*I do love them, I just don't have that much time on my hands. 

My father: We call him dad. It's very convenient. 

He is Casey. 

Mah Mommy. She's crazy, and she's homeschooled all of us, and she's really just awesome. She's strong too, she's my hero. 

My mother is that lady from Meet the Robinsons, except perhaps a little more toned down.

Mahri* is eccentric. She plays bagpipes, and fences. She knows sorts of history (she's the one you go to for obscure facts) and on occasion writes pretty awesome poetry.

This gif sums her up, I think. She is either Baymax, or the Butler, depending on her mood.

*Actual name is Maria, but whatever.

Joey is cool. He dabbles in hobbies and he makes really good deserts. He also wears geek shirts, which makes me really happy. Oh yeah, and he buys the best pressies*

*reason #4978 why he's more awesome than your brother.

He is Po. No, but literally. He is Po.

Laura is sooooooooooooo organized.* She tells the funniest stories, and she married the tallest man I've ever met.

*you have to be with six kids under seven.

She is Scrat. We don't know why. She makes Scrat-like faces.

Regina's a nut. She's also a sweetheart, and sometimes she's a sassy little stinker. She makes me want to be a nicer person.

She is Rapunzel.

Kat is a cat. She can either be grumpy cat, or an LOLcat, and there is generally no in between. We get a long rather well. 

SHE LITERALLY DOES THIS.
I HAVE SEEN IT

Amy's my bestest friend and stuff. When we get together there is usually mass hysteria, while I judge people and she tells me to behave.*

*I don't.

She is Sid.

Hello. This is me. I'm a giant geek, and I draw stuff.

I'm hilarious.

Bella is outgoing. And this bewilders me, because the rest of us are introverts. She's the one who can make me fangirl like an idiot, and when it comes to being an obsessive fangirl... oooh, Bella takes the crown. 

She is Ben the Robot, and it's hilarious.

Tiny* is basically Bella's shadow. My relationship with her is either I will kill you if you look at me oooor I will help you hide the body. There is no middle ground.

*Christina's the name. We call her Tiny. I don't even know why anymore.

She is a minion.

Annie is that one kid who is really tough, but she's also really prissy, and it's a weird combo. 

Annie is this gif of Hiccup.

Cinta* lives in her own world and it can be disturbing to watch.**

*Technically she's Jacinta, but that takes a long time to say.

**I'm sure she'll grow out of it.

She is Spike, and she hates it, but it's true.

Chloe and Sam are Joey's girls, but they've morphed into the family. They're princesses and I will kill you if you hurt them.

They are Twilight and Pinkie, respectively.

And that about wraps it up. I'd do the adopted siblings too... (Sammi, Jack, and Angela...) But... I'm not gonna. HA. 

For your consideration, here is a giant family picture that we took for my parent's 35th anniversary, in early September 2013. There's more kids now.

How many siblings do you have?
Did you already know how many people were in my family?
Do you think we all look that much alike? (apparently people can tell at a glance that we're DeLallos... that's weird.)
And finally, which gif is your favorite?

Picture Saturday-- Better late than never

Shut up, it's still Saturday where I am.

Okay, so it's late.

But I was very busy today! (Barnes&Noble, and antique stores, and a discovery kingdom type place. Way busy.)

So here we have a photo dump, and it will be interesting, where you enjoy it or not. Actually, I command you to enjoy it, because I am the Goddess of Overlords! (HA! Beat that, Cait.)

Shall we get right into it?

WE SHALL!

1.) Le sketch of a scene from the Wingfeather Saga. Because winged man. (Ignore the disproportionate head in the bottom, she shouldn't be there. Shhhhh.)

2.) Le brother and sister from Hannah and Jess's book, because siblings.

3.) Le random man face, because men are fun to draw. (Yeah, I just said that.)

4.) Le doodles of terrifying laughing people and a weirdo.

5.) LE FLORID SWORD FROM THE WINGFEATHER SAGA BECAUSE HE SAYS THINGS LIKE, "Your numbers are full of bigness and I must needs flee! Aha!" and it cracked me up.

Seriously though, look at the fabulousness of this man.

6.) Le freaky mermaid.

7.) Le cute little guy that I think looks a little bit like a young Shane Fazen.

8.) After the inspiring words on that picture, I went on a beat up aaaaalll the boys binge and came up with some darkish stuff.

I know, I'm disturbing.

9.) Shh. I'm embarrassed.

10.) 75 Jackson. Don't ask. Suffice to say I suck at 'fros and apparently it needs to be bigger.

10.) Artham. This was drawn before I realized he was white haired. Like... I just imagine everyone dark until told otherwise.

11.) The unfinished death scene from a book I just finished. *cries tears*

12.) Le Derek.

AND NOW

PROJECT MY LITTLE PONY HUMANIZED

13.) Rarity!

14.) Rarity is a princess, and not in a good way, like me. She's a bit prissy. :)

15.) But she sews, so there's that. (I don't sew. I fail.)

16.) Sooo prissy. And apparently deformed in the hand area.

16.) But she has fabulous hair.

She was really easy because she literally used like three colors. *dances*

Which picture is your favorite?

Which one of Rarity?

Tell meeee!

Cheers!
