My husband and I met on my 19th birthday. He came to a dinner with my family at a Cracker Barrel in Foley. He captured my heart and "that's all she wrote"!

-
Logan is my step-son. My husband and I were granted full custody of him in August of 2005! He is always smiling!
-
Adam drove a race car on dirt tracks. We were always at the race track on a Saturday night. Once the kids were born, we even brought them with us. It was so much fun. In 2007, he stopped racing because it was just to hard to handle with our four children.
-
Adam and I got married and we went to Daytona Beach for our honeymoon.
-
After finding out that I was pregnant with Isabelle, I put my school studies on hold, to concentrate on my family. It was one of the hardest things that I have ever had to do. It has made me a stronger person, and now she and my other three children are what drive me to push myself to finish college. Everything I do and sacrifice is for them, and I will not quit until I become a teacher!

My husband was working with a crew to clean up hurricane damage in Vero Beach, Florida. We went down there to stay with him, while evacuating our home, from hurricane Ivan.
-
In 2004, after hurricane Ivan, we had evactuated to South Florida. A few weeks later we came home, to realize our rental house had been destroyed. The roof caved in the house, and ruined all our furniture and our firstborn little girl's room! We lived in Atmore, and had to move in with my parents in Gulf Shores.
-
Days after my birthday, we moved our house to Flomaton, Alabama.
-
We found out we were going to have another baby, when my daughter, Isabelle, was only 5 months old. All through my pregnancy, I was told my baby was a girl. At 1:42 in the morning, HE was born! We didn't even have a name for him, until a few hours before we left the hospital. Needless to say, I had quite a bit of stuff to take back to the store, to swap for a different color! I wouldn't have had it any other way! He's the light of my life and still tells me daily how pretty I am!
-
Our first daughter, Isabelle was hospitalized for Pneumonia until August 2, 2005
-
Our baby, Haylea, was our last baby girl. She was and is always the life of the party! :)
-
My daughter, Haylea was born on the 28th. She had to stay in the hopital for 5 days because she had severe jaundice, and she had to lay against a special light.
-
On our very first family vacation, we went to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. We only got to stay a few days, but it was a great trip.
-
Our babies on Adam's birthday, they were singing and dancing as Haylea was stuffing her face!
-
Our babies had homemade dresses and pants and jackets this year for Easter.
-
My husband's brother was killed. Life is so short and never guaranteed. We will never know when it will be our time, and I regret so much not spending more time with B.J.!!!! This picture was on Easter sunday, and it was the last time we saw him.
-
This was the first time, since my children were born, that it snowed (where we lived) in Alabama!!
-
For most of 2008 and 2009, I watched three children at my home, while I also had all four of my children.
-
Christmas in Gulf Shores with my family.
-
In 2005, my Aunt Linda was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gherig's Disease). She is such an inspiration to myself, my family, and everyone who knows and loves her! Right before my birthday last year, my family and I went to Mobile to walk in her honor. She still lives today, with more faith and love than I could ever imagine!
-
My neice, Jamie, graduated from high school at 17!
-
This is a picture of Gulf Shores beach after the oil spill.
-
After having my chidren, I gained a tremendous amount of weight. I actually got over 200 pounds! I received a wii fit from my husband on Valentine's Day and never looked back. This is a picture of me, 75 pounds lighter!
-
Family vacation to Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas. This picture was taken at the Baton Rouge Zoo.
-
Three out of our four children were in school. Kindergarten, first, and second grade! I can't believe how fast they have grown!
-
The kids played at the beach, while the power boats raced on the gulf, behind them!
-
We all dressed up for halloween this year, after one of Logan's plays at school.
-
Our family the Sunday before Christmas, at church.
-
Finally, after I had been out of school for almost 10 years, I graduated from a community college with my Associate's Degree!
-
This year three of my kids go to the same school, I started school again (at USA), and my four year old started pre-K! This was kind of a big deal, so we took family pictures!
