I have been a lurker in the blog world for some time now. I look at other people’s blogs daily. I enjoy seeing what other moms go through with everyday life of children, I like to keep up with the progress of all the precious babies that I pray for nightly and I like to look at How To blogs for my home. So...after many months, maybe years of lurking I figured I would try this out for myself. I will probably need some help from you guys because really I have NO IDEA what I am doing. I just know how to lurk. I am honestly shocked that I have made it this far!
Let me start off by telling you a little bit about myself. I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister, sister in law, daughter in law and friend! I love everyone around me and I have a horrible time saying NO! I married my best friend almost eight years ago and we still fall more in love with each other every day. God has tested us every way he knows how and we have continued to fight through it and our relationship continues to get stronger with each test. I am a mother of three (sometimes four and for that matter sometimes fifty)! Hunter will be fifteen in two weeks and is an angel child, a child that everyone dreams of having. He has always been a top student with high grades and wonderful conduct. We recently received his transcript and he is ranked 40 out of 626 kids in the freshman class at La Porte High School and he has a 4.8 GPA. See...I told you...he's an angel. He is on the high school football team and really enjoys it. Our family lives for football and we wrap our whole hearts and souls around it. Tyler is twelve and is a sports fanatic! He sleeps, eats, drinks, breathes, snores sports! LOL! He plays football and baseball and loves it. He can tell you just about every stat for every pro player on every team. He has struggled in school before just because he was bored but has hit a maturity level that has corrected that problem and now is a very good student as well. Tyler has had a lot of struggles as he has Minimal Change Disease Nephrotic Syndrome. Nephrotic Syndrome is an auto-immune disease that attacks the kidneys. You will hear me speak of this a lot as it is a part of our everyday life. I am an avid supporter of the National Kidney Foundation and I will be walking in the Houston Kidney Walk on April 30, 2011. If you would like to make a donation towards Team Tyler or would like to join our walk please go to http://www.kidneywalk.org/ and follow the links to the Houston Kidney Walk and then go to TEAM TYLER! Through the struggles Tyler has handled himself very well and continues to push through everything this disease tries to hand him! He has the biggest heart and is a wonderful big brother. Hunter and Tyler are my husband, Sparky’s boys and I was blessed to be able to raise them as my own since they were two and four years old. I thank God for this blessing all the time. I don’t know what life would be like without my boys. They also have a big sister, Alyssa, who does not live with us. She is actually my husband’s ex-wife’s daughter but my husband has played a very big role in her life. She is seventeen and a very good, sweet, kind-hearted young lady. I love being able to get with her and have some girl talk time. Then we have our little Princess Ally. Ally is our little princess that just turned four on Sunday. She keeps everyone laughing in our home and keeps everyday interesting. She has a very strong personality and is a little girl who truly just enjoys life. She acts a lot older than most four year olds in many ways but is very much a baby as well. She was my paci baby and we could not kick the paci. At midnight on her fourth birthday the paci monsters came in our house and stole all of the paci’s. She also was a co-sleeper which I was perfectly happy with (she cuddles) but Daddy was not. So last week we also started putting her in her own room to sleep but we welcomed her as soon as she woke up in the middle of the night to get in bed with us. I am happy (well sad) to announce that last night she slept all night in her own bed without a paci. I am very proud of my big girl.
So there you got it. A little about me…you will learn a little more everyday and I am very excited about this adventure that I am starting!
Off to baseball practice for Ally and then we will catch up with the rest of the family at Tyler’s game! Baseball season is in full swing!

Welcome to the blogging world! Some days you'll wonder if you'll ever have anything to say and other days you'll have enough to keep you going for a month. Just don't get discouraged. Try not to put pressure on yourself and remember it usually takes time to build readers (I'm having to rebuild after a long break.) but they will come. One thing you might think about doing is changing your comment preference to "anyone can comment". Blogger's default doesn't allow anyone who doesn't have a Google account or a few other special type accounts to comment. That leaves out a good number of people. And we all love comments!
Thanks for visiting my blog. As for the rooster stuff, let me see if I still have it all. I took the figurine and the egg sign to my booth. The chicken wire thing is still here waiting on me to paint the sides. I'll go check on the booth tomorrow and will let you know. I don't remember what I put on them, but it wasn't much.
Thank you so much for the tips and I will go fix the comment thing right now!
I love old rooster stuff! My kitchen is done vintage/rooster!
Welcome to blogging! Looks like you've got it down.
