So I think we are the last family ON EARTH to create a blog! ha ha Actually, Dave just said to me "I didn't think our life was interesting enough for a blog"...so we'll see what kinds of things we can think up every so often!
Should I start with introductions? I am sure that anyone who reads our blog already knows us, but just in case you don't know enough...
DAVE--DAD
Dave is the man of the hour in our family! Everyone adores him and he doesn't seem to mind being around us too much. :) Dave has worked at Assist 2 Sell for 6 1/2 years now, wow! Real estate has been a good profession for us, but Dave has always wanted to go to school so this fall he will be doing some classes at OTC. He is all about fun and playing and laughing...just ask anyone who has ever watched a funny movie with him!
AMY--MOM--WONDER WOMAN
It probably doesn't count that I gave myself the nickname of Wonder Woman, ha ha! I have more interests than I could probably name, but the only ones outside of my family that I usually make time for are shopping, eating out, and movies. I LOVE being a stay-at-home mom, I am learning to love the housekeeping part of it, and I have an obsession with throwing things away. I don't scrapbook or run marathons or create incredible meals (although my family does like my cooking), but I love my husband and my family and I try to show it every day.
JOSEPH
Joe just got baptized!! Wow, he is an awesome kid...Joe is interested in anything and everything! He is a great student, he loves to read, and he's been trying out new sports each season. He just got finished with his first round of baseball and loved it, football this fall! He's got a pet frog named Sarge and he takes very good care of him--so good, in fact, that he is trying to convince Mom he's ready for a snake or turtle...nope!
AUBREY
Aubrey is our drama queen, but I mean that in a very loving way! She loves to sing and dance and act...and she is very good at it! Aubrey has a really fun giggle and she is a very good helper with all the younger kids. She really loves soccer, too, and her favorite position is goalie...she spends as much time blocking that ball as her coach will let her! We love having her around, she gives good hugs!
GRACIE
Have you heard of shortie disease? Well, it sorta runs in Amy's family and Gracie got the big dose in ours...she is tiny and SUPER spunky!! She loves her curly hair and her hazel eyes and can't wait to get married...to any one of her 43 boyfriends! Gracie is the gymnast in our family and really loves the balance beam and the bars. She's a little fish, too, and has gotten a tan to be jealous of this summer!
SPENCER
Uh, I don't even know where to start with Spence...just kidding! He is 2, need I say more?! Spencer is a very good talker, when you can get him to take the binkie out of his mouth. He is always on the go, for real!! I guess the best word would be "creative"...he can make catastrophes that couldn't be scripted. A few of his nicknames are "Dennis the Menace", "Taz", and "Ninja"...nuff said? :) We love our Spencer, he keeps us all on our toes and is always passing out kisses and hugs!
ELIZABETH
Well, we call her Ellie. She is our chubby, grinny, drooly, snuggly baby girl! Everyone adores Ellie! She doesn't have many interests yet, but she does really like to be where all the action is and she loves to be held. She can roll and sit and laughs up a storm at her older brothers and sisters! Ellie is such a fun girl to have around!
So sorry if that was a longer introduction than you wanted...but that's us! We'll see how the rest of this blogging thing goes!
