An Introduction Into My Life...

It dawned on me today that I haven't really introduced you all to the life that I live.  I thought I'd take a little time today and do just that.  So pull up a chair, grab a cup of whatever beverage warms your heart, (right now I've got my cup of black coffee) and let me introduce you to my family.

I must start here:

This dude rocks my world!  I'm still in a passionate love affair with him that started when I was in high-school.  Yup sometimes the high school sweethearts stick.

We love spending time together, riding motorcycles, taking pics and fooling around with videography.  We have dreams of someday doing a documentary together.. me holding my Nikon and he the video camera.

Next up.. I want to introduce you to the best one year anniversary gift that my man could give me:

This is my oldest princess.  She has been such a blessing.  As a young mother, I'm sure that she got the majority of my "mistake parenting" but I don't think she's turned out to bad :)  She has dreams of becoming a romance/mystery writer when she grows up.  I'm pretty sure that Nancy Drew is her highest role model regarding her writing career.

Moving on to number two.  Almost exactly two years later (9 days shy to be exact) came the wild child.

You wouldn't guess it by looking at her but there is not a fear in this girls bones.  Some people assume that since we have a boy he's the crazy one but I just smile.  This girl has confidence and isn't afraid to dance, sing, or jump.  She's often the example of bravery that I, her mommy, need to be reminded of.  She wants to work with animals when she grows up.

Next up we have the little man.

He's only 21 months younger than his sister and many people confuse them for twins.  He loves this.  Always climbing trees, riding his dirt bike and searching for snakes.. he keeps me on my toes.  We've been lucky to be able to say that so far we've not had stitches, although he's got some pretty awesome scars.  He isn't sure what he wants to be when he grows up.  As long as it's something fun.

Last but not least we have Montag, our awesome Golden Retriever.

Montag loves chasing hula hoops that fly off the kids and I while we attempt to master new tricks and he is determined to hoop along with us.  He's also a big fan of chasing squirrels, rabbits and anything that will run with him, even the children.
