Tomorrow is the first day of second grade for the twins and they are excited but nervous. For the first time though I see more nervousness in Kayla and more excitement in Reagan. Such a change from last year!!! I have their clothes all laid out for them already and they've got their backpacks lined… Continue reading New Steps

Twins Again?
Today I was shopping for a baby shower that I was attending and my youngest daughter, Bethany, thought it was fabulous. Everything I picked out was "so cute" and "to adorable"!!! When I was finally done picking out everything Bethany happened to mention that she just loves that I'm having more kids and that it's… Continue reading Twins Again?
So Easy
When you live in a home like mine you have to be prepared for someone to do or say something that's going to make you laugh. We all laugh easily here and probably over the stupidest things sometimes.

I have a family that loves to tell stories. Big and small adventures they all have a great beginning, middle and ending. I wish I could tell the tales as well as my dad, uncle and aunt but I so don't have that gene. They can keep people laughing for hours. Some of my favorite… Continue reading Family Tales
