I married my soul mate June 19th, 2004. We will soon welcome our fourth daughter! Our house is busy with all these and two dogs, but we wouldn't want it any other way.

Sidnei is our oldest. She was born May 4, 2004. My baby has started Kindergarten and run's the place lol. We call her Lou Lou.

Olivia graced us with her presence November 27th 2005. She came two months early but is a thriving and active child now. She's a ball of fire!

Jaedyn was born June 26th, 2007 and was also two months early like her sister. She's a mama's girl. Jaedyn is wild, confident, and outgoing little girl.

Our newest little angel.. Torance Emma! Born November 13th at 1:20pm and weighing only 3lbs 11oz.

Abbey and Titus are our two wild and crazy german shepherds. They are great with the girls and perfect dogs for our full house.
