Meet My Family! Part I: The Parents

According to the poll, this is the post you all wanted to read the most! Every single post idea had at least one vote though haha. At least I have lots of post ideas for the future!

Anyways, I'll try my best to introduce you to my family in two parts (Part I: My Parents and Part II: My Siblings)

My Daddy: Mr. Stoner.
I call my Dad "Daddy" usually. We've always called him Daddy since we were little kids and though sometimes we refer to him as "Dad", "Daddy" has stuck the longest. My dad is a pharmacist and he spends a lot of time working with that! He works thirteen hour days and works three to four days a week. His schedule is ridiculous and I'm never sure if he is off or at work :P

Daddy loves God and even though he says he hates talking in front of people, I know he loves teaching the Youth Group at church. You can tell he has a love for the Lord when he gets up and teaches from the Bible. His "catchphrase" (if you will) is "Pray, Meditate, and Read Your Bible" and he tells us those are three things we need to do each and every day.

My Daddy is also a hunter. He has been hunting since age thirteen or fourteen and he's been stuck ever since. My family owns a hunting camp about three hours north of where we live. Every December we (my dad, brother, me, and sometimes uncles and cousins or guys from church) go up there to hunt deer for rifle season and my brother and Daddy usually go up with some men from church for archery season. My Daddy usually once a year goes on a week or two long hunting trip out west. He's been to Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana and a couple others that I forget :P

My Momma: Mrs. Stoner
Growing up we always called Momma "Mommy" but when I was about thirteen, a college age girl from church used to always come to our house and hang out. She took to calling my mom "Momma Stoner" and me and my siblings adopted that as mom's new permanent name. Actually, most of the teen girls at church and even one of the college age boys refer to her as Momma Stoner. (In fact, there are numerous women at the church that us teen girls refer to as "Momma so-and-so")

Momma likes to talk with us teens at church. She likes to encourage the teen girls especially talking with them about what they want to do in the future and encourage them with that. She tries to be a friend and a good role model for the teens. Momma teaches the first and second graders on Wednesday nights too.

My Momma loves to cook and bake. She wanted to go to culinary school but her dad wouldn't let her so she never went, but that never stopped her from becoming one of the best cooks and bakers ever! She always makes snacks for church. You may know the joke about Baptist churches, always having fellowships. Momma is always busy baking or cooking for church fellowships, picnics, or birthdays. Just last week she helped make some food for a anniversary party.
