My Life

My Life

My life consists of many things.
Family, Friends, Work, Health issues, an ornery ex-spouse,
I’ve got my fair share of Trials, but I am also blessed with many things that I can only thank God everyday for.
I’m sure before long, I will be writing about my trials, in an attempt to vent, or find clarity in certain situations, but for now I will share some of the blessings that I live for.

Ali A.K.A. Booga
Ali is my first. She is the one that changed my life. She is the reason that I wanted to become a better person. She is Beautiful, smart, silly, artistic, snuggly and extremely emotional. She has flair for the dramatic, and mixed with her emotions we get quite a few episodes of dramatized devastation! When asked to clean her room, I fully expect and wait until she’s finished falling to the floor hyperventilating. I try hard to stifle my laugh.
From the time she could walk, she was dressing up in fancy ensembles, and had an array of accessories to match. The ‘Dress-ups’ have mostly disappeared but her desire to be in style has not. I LOVE that when given the choice of anything in the mall, at 5 years old, she chose a stylish looking hat and wore it everyday for weeks!
She Does NOT want to share ANYTHING with her sister, but secretly loves that same little sister wants to sleep with her at night. Her new favorite color is yellow and I think that means that pink is for babies. She loves anything crafty, artsy, and hands on. Prefers writing, painting, or riding her bike over Barbie dolls any day.
She’s Hyper, and funny, and sometimes obsessive, and I Love her. I love every single bit of her.



Megan A.K.A. Meggers
Megan is a laugh a minute. Her constant facial expressions, unexpected actions, her constant singing and shaking of her booty, and her all out originality keeps us smiling all the time. Her unpredictability keeps us on our toes. She spends her time outdoors searching for worms, and potatoes bugs, then proceeds to build them elaborate bug lands and feeds them with piles of grass. She does this so daintily while wearing a dress too because she IS a princess of course, and must look the part. She hates it when her hair is “fluffy” and will spend 5 minutes in the bathroom in front of the mirror smoothing it down. She LOVES water, especially when combined with dirt. She will immediately thrust her arms deep into any container of interesting looking substance, and is SO NOT afraid of the consequence. She loves to do anything that will get a reaction. Including torturing her big sister. (Ali is pretty good at providing an immense reaction)
She has Anthony wrapped around her finger, and although I’ll deny it, She can operate me pretty easily too. She’s a pretty convincing little 5 year old!
She’s loves pre-school and is excited to start kindergarten this fall. She makes friends easily and loves to play with them as often as she can.



Mathew A.K.A. Mattie or Fat baby
It took us almost two years to have our baby boy. Although Anthony loves the girls like they were his own , he wanted so badly to go through the whole process of pregnancy and infancy.
Mattie is our squishy fat little baby. He does NOT like to be put down and Don’t even think about leaving his sight!
He giggles all the time and is extremely ticklish. He Is growing up SO fast, and the girls just LOVE kissing his fat cheeks!
We all love him so much, and I am so grateful that he was given to us..
