This is me and my husband Jim on our wedding day (obviously) May 19, 2007. We got married in my parents backyard here in sunny Arizona. You wouldn't think that May would be too hot yet but for some reason it was that year! We met a little over a year before that and neither of us could believe that we hadn't met before. We had had the same group of friends for 10+ years but never knew each other. In fact, his best friend at the time, was my boyfriend in high school. I guess we were destined to be together (if you believe in that sort of thing!) In the past year and a half we have definitely had some major ups and downs, and when I say downs, I mean WAY downs! We have managed to survive somehow. We married in May, got pregnant in July, started a pilot car business in October, had a baby and bought a house in March. We did it all in one year. Talk about getting things done! For those of you that don't know, pilot cars are the trucks with flashing lights that follow or lead oversize loads down the highways.
This handsome cowboy is my son Kasey. He was born May 16, 2002. I love this little boy to death. He is the sweetest kid with the biggest heart. He has also been through a lot lately but luckily Jim has been there to help. Poor guy got thown into a father role to a 4 year old boy with ADHD. I'm sure it's been more challenging for both of them than I realize! Kasey is a very bright young man and I see him going places with that brain of his! He is very interested in taking things apart which can be very frustrating to a parent but I know he just wants to know how it works and what all it does. If only he would be interested in putting them back together again! One of his favorite things to do is go outside and do work with dad. I'm not always sure I want to know what they're up to out in the garage but I think it's a man thing and I'm not supposed to know! Kasey also has decided already what he wants to be when he grows up. You ready for this? He wants to be a soldier, a bull rider, an oceanographer, and a fireman. Sounds like a plan huh? I wonder when he'll have the time to date let alone get married and have a family!
This beautiful little girl is Cheyenne, born March 14, 2008. She will be 9 months old in a few days and I can't believe she is getting so big so fast. I still remember that day in the hospital when Jim told me that we got our little girl. It still brings tears to my eyes. I will never forget him saying that to me. We waited to find out what she was and as much as I wanted to know for that 9 months, I am glad I waited. Everyone has said that she is going to be a daddys girl, which she is, but she is also her mama's girl too. You can already tell she's going to be smart like her big bro but she's going to be one of those strong silent types. She watches everything and I don't think she misses even the littlest thing that goes on around her! Her big brother definitely loves her very much which makes me so happy. I was afraid he was going to resent her but he almost loves her to a fault sometimes. She definitely loves him too, she laughs and smiles everytime she sees him, especially if he's making a funny noise or running around. She is crawling right now but I don't think it'll be long before she's up and running to keep up with him!
And this is my family.Thanks for reading up on us and hopefully there will be more to read in the future!
