So I thought today I would take the opportunity to introduce my family to everyone, in case you don't know me personally. I have been married for 12 years this coming Sunday to this wonderful guy Bill.
We met when I was 19, and he was 27 dancing down in Eugene, OR. We were married 9 months after we met. And have been living in wedded bliss ever since, of course we have had our hard times, but our love for eachother has always gotten us through those tough patches. I count him as my soul mate, and am so happy be celabrating our 12th anniversary this year.
We have 5 kids together, our oldest is Serena Noelle, she was born 2 days before I turned 23. Here she is.
She is 9 years old, and looks the most like me, she is my mini me. She will be going into 4th grade this next year, I cannot believe how big she is getting. She is also a natural at the piano, she is totally self taught, but she only has to hear something and she can figure out how to play it on the piano.
My next daughter is Julia Elisabeth, she was born 21 months after Serena on my dad's birthday Nov. 11th 2005. Julia and Serena are best friends, most of the time. Here she is.
She is 7 years old, and she looks alot like daddy, she definettly takes after his irish ancestry. She is also a very talented artist, and wants to be one when she grows up.
Next we got our first boy Gavin William was born 19 months after Julia on July 3rd 2007. Here he is.
He just turned 6 years old, and looks alot like his daddy too. He also has autism which can be difficult. He has come a long way in the last year talking more, however he still wears a diaper, he refuses to use the toilet, and really this is my hardest obstacle right now with him. He is such a loving boy, and I could not imagine life without him.
Our next child was born 22 months after Gavin, and he was a surprise, we didn't find out the gender during pregnancy, and I really thought he was going to be a girl, so I was very surprised when he came out a boy. His name is Kenan Daniel, pronounced like Keenan. Here he is.
He is 4 and really smart. He did everything early, was rolling over at 2 months, crawling at 5 months, walking at 10 months, and I do not remember a time when he wasn't talking my ear off. He is a really special boy.
Our last child for now was born almost 3 and a half years after Kenan, ya we decided to take a little break. She was born on September 23rd 2012. Her pregnancy was the toughest on me, and so we are on the fence about adding 1 more child to our family, when we got married we wanted 6 children. Her name is Ava Gwenevere. Here she is.
She looks alot like Serena as a baby, and she is just a wonderful addition to our family, she has been my calmest baby so far, for which I am very greatful. Well I hope you enjoyed getting to know my family, here is one more pic of our whole family. And I appre
