Today 6 years ago I met Steve (again).  What a difference 6 years makes.  I love him so much, even more than I thought.  But so much has changed over the years.  How do you get past all the bumps and accept the parts that you can't change?  The things that you need....not sure you can..

Hoping for a good weekend with all the kids.  There is a lot going on with soccer, football, bday parties, and a funeral.  Plus I have to WORK...blah!!

Well, today I ventured to church with my 5 kids to see Porter William Stephens baptism.  I was pleased that they behaved very well.  Seth had to be bribed with food the entire time but that is fine.  He is underweight.  I really enjoyed the service.  The church has grown since I was in 8th grade! Here are some pics from the day!

 

I would put pics of Porter up but Jesalyn would kill me!

LONG TIME NO SEE!!

I can't believe it has been 5 years since my last blog.  Life definitely changed and got in the way of taking the time to breathe and explode in blog style.  Let's see...divorced in 2008.  Live in a new house as of Feb 2013 with my kids, Steve, his kids, and SETH.....yep OUR KID!  He is a trip.  He was born November 21, 2011. 

The kids took to their new shared sibling pretty well. 

It has been a rough last few years for me.  I lost my mom in April 2012 to cancer.  She fought hard but it was a losing battle! I have let myself go a bit since.  Nothing is the same.  Not sure where I belong :( 

This was camping in Rome at Steve's moms trailer.  The girls brought friends for the first time..and last!

Here are my 5 being cooperative..AMAZING!!

 

First Day of school 2013!  They have grown up!  Girls are in middle school (6th), boys are in 3rd and 1st!  They are my life.
