A little about us.........

Well I am sure you figured out that we have 7 kids! We have been married for almost 11 years! As werid as it sounds we are not one of those couples that argue alot we get along great and always have! It is probaly because we spend all our time taking care of the kids! Lol! You are probaly wondering why on earth we have 7 kids! Well let me tell you how that happened!!

Of course there is the normal hump and bump method! We got 2 of our children that way! We adopted the other 5!!! We both became foster parents when we turned 21 and all of the kids that we fostered that were not able to go back to there birth families we adopted!! We have been truly blessed by these children we are lucky to have them!!!

Now being that these children were foster kids they have alot of issues that have to be worked trough daily! Let me tell you there ages! David 13, Cheyanne 11, Heaven 10, Mitchell 9, Matthew 9, Samuel 7 and Nevaeh 4!!!!

Cheyanne is the one who changelles me the most she has severe ADHD, mood disorder, attachment disorder! We can hardly find anyone to watch her because she does not listen to anyone other then us and even that is rough!!!

Mitchell is a type 1 diabetic since about a year ago! That has been a huge changelle!!! It is a life changing experance for all of us!!! He has alot of built up anger as well.

Matthew is Mitchells twin brother and Cheyanne is their sister! We adopted them as sibilings! Matthew is a great kid and a hard worker! He has the most anger though if he has to serve any consquences for anything he just goes off!

David is the first child that we adopted and he is the oldest at 13! He is an amazing child! He has a heart of gold! He is caring and very loving! He is haveing the normal teenager issues right now! Being mouthy and thinks he knows every thing!!! The biggest thing with David and all of the kids in fact is lying! Thay had to start lying at such an early age to survive that it is so natural for them and it is hard to break!!

Nevaeh she is just a stubbrun little 4 year old! She can stand her own ground with 6 sibilings!! She knows how to be heard!!!

Heaven and Samuel are our biologic children! They have grown up with us fostering so it is normal to them, they love having a big family!

The reason I wanted to start a blog is to find people that are going through the same things we are that we could share with! To let the world see into our great family, and to make some new friends along the way!!!

  1. Okay, I just read my way through your blog, and I know I already commented, but I have to say this. You are absolutely amazing. I hope that my family can do something like this someday, and I hope we can do it with half your grace and love for these kids!
