My life has never been easy, but it is my faith that gets me through each and every day. In my Motherhood journey I have given birth to four beautiful children, and have also lost three very loved angels. I will always be a little broken, but it is my tragedies that has shaped me into the person I am today. I try to see the beauty in everything and am learning how "life is not about waiting for the storm to pass...it's about learning how to dance in the rain."
Josh...my amazing husband. He knows me pretty much better than anyone else, and yet still loves me in spite of it. He is truly my soul mate and I am so blessed that I get to call this man my husband. He is an amazing father and works hard every day so that I can stay home with the kids. Not only is he my lover, he is also my best friend.
Kaylee....my first born. She is my spunky little drama queen, who is turning out to be the spitting image of her mother(yikes!). Despite sometimes needing a bit of an attitude adjustment, she has a heart of gold. She is an avid animal lover and has aspirations of becoming a Veterinarian when she grows up.
Austin.... He has always been my little mama's boy, and always will be. He is smart, goofy, sweet, and sensitive, and has become quite the video gamer. He must get it from his step dad!
Emma...our little Princess! She brings so much joy to our lives every single day! She is sweet, silly, and strong-willed. She is such a blessing to our family and always brings a smile to the face of everyone around her.
Kellen.... Our little miracle baby! Only God saw this little one coming...an unexpected little gift from above. We are so thrilled and excited to have this precious Rainbow baby after all of the loss and heartache we have experienced this past year. Born on 9-12-09 and arriving 6 weeks early!
