Hi! I'm Michelle Tanner. I'm nine years old, and I've got some awesome news. I'm running for fourth-grade class president! There's just one problem. I'm up against Rachel Tilly. She's giving the kids T-shirts and pastries so they'll vote for her. And it's working!

But I'm going to ask my family for some advice. If we all put on our thinking caps I know we can come up with something. That's because we have "a lot" of thinking caps at my house. My family is huge!

There's my dad and my two older sisters, D.J. and Stephanie. But that's not all.

My mom died when I was little. So my uncle Jesse moved in to help Dad take care of us. So did Joey Gladstone. He's my dad's friend from college. It's almost like having three dads. But that's still not all!

First Uncle Jesse got married to Becky Donaldson. Then they had twin boys, Nicky and Alex. The twins are four years old now. And they're so cute.

That's nine people. And our dog, Comet, makes ten. Sure, it gets kind of crazy sometimes. But I wouldn't change it for anything. It's so much fun living in a full house!
