My first post

I'm new at blogging, but it seems everyone is doing it. I love to stay in touch with people via their blogs, it helps me feel connected.

E and I have been married for 12 years~I can't believe it! We have 4 kids, an awesome house in Marion set on 12 beautiful acres with a NEW POLE BARN :) (That's a whole other post - stay tuned...) That's our waterfall feature above, it's right outside the kitchen! I love it...

I have a step-daughter, H - she's pretty awesome. She's 17 and a Sr. She's been living with us since September 07 and, as is with all teenagers, things are either EXCELLENT or CRAPPY. There is nothing in between. I love having another girl in the house. Hopefully she loves being with us. :)

I have 3 boys - Bug is 8, R and E are 6. They're a handful as you can see in the picture :) When I'm not tearing the house apart looking for the missing leaf green Pokemon game or the game boy itself I'm your everyday SUPER MOM. Okay, super is a bit over the top but hey, there are days I should wear a cape!!!

I can't wait to share stories - I crack my parents up all the time with funny things the boys do and say. My Mom is always telling me I should write it down - so I'm writing it down. Stay tuned for funny stories, sad stories and generally crazy ones too!
