Me in a nutshell:
-Faith-
I am a child of God's. A sinner saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. I have not always made the best decisions, I have stumbled, and I have fallen flat on my face. Despite my many slips and falls, my failures and my insecurities, I am loved. God sees past my imperfections and flaws and continues to love me, forgive me, and accept me for who I am. He has carried me through my trials and has stood by my side through my darkest moments. I am trying my best to live for Him and to be the woman He has created me to be.
-Family-
I am a wife to my handsome hubby. Together we have 3 gorgeous little boys; Boogs, Nugget, and K-man (or Slim Jim, Beefcake, and Meatball, take your pick). Hubby and I met at age 14 and have been best friends ever since. I am a mom trying my hardest to raise my boys to be Godly men that love Jesus with all their hearts. I take my responsibility as a mom very seriously. I was blessed with 3 beautiful gifts from God, and I know that one day I must hand them back over to God. I am beyond grateful for the chance I have been given to be their mommy. I have always adored children and would love to one day adopt or work with children in need.
-Parenting-
My parenting style tends to be on the "attached" side. It feels so natural to me, and I have only in the past 2 years learned that what I was doing as a mom, had a style name. I have an extreme passion for natural child birth as well. There is nothing more incredible then the moment a child enters the world and the feeling you get when they first place your baby in your arms. I have been blessed enough to have 3 amazing birth experiences and I love to share those stories with others, and encourage them that they can have just as awesome of an experience.Despite how I parent, I won't throw my own opinions or beliefs on other people. I may parent one way, but I have many friends who parent differently and I respect them all the same.
-Photography-
Ever since I can remember I have loved taking pictures. Growing up I invested way too much money in disposable cameras. I just love capturing memories and being able to hold on to them. After having Boogs I realized just how quickly time passes, and how fleeting those precious moments are and I could not take enough pictures. To say I have love photography is an understatement for sure. I have so much to learn and I love soaking up anything I can about the art.
-Crafting-
I also love crafting. I love creating things and being able to watch a vision come to life. The past few years I have taken up sewing and I love it. I am still starting out and learning, but I love it and enjoy relaxing and sewing up things for the boys or friends.

K-man
K-man is our newest little blessing from God. He is such a sweet little baby and has had me wrapped about his tiny little fingers since the day he was born. He was born 3 1/2 wks early weighing 6lbs 14oz and 19.5in long. He was worth every minute of my 23 hour labor and every second of my very difficult pregnancy. He loves snuggling up to his mommy and has grown very attached to my robe in his short few months here with us. He loves being close to mommy and daddy in the carrier, and listening to Boogs and Nugget sing to read, read to him, and he even tolerates their goofy jokes .He has something so precious and angelic about him, and I am so excited to watch him grow and see his personality develop. I love you Baby K, you are such a perfect gift from above.
Nugget
Our little Nugget burst into our lives on July 28'th, 2008. Born weighing 6lbs 14oz and 18.5in., he shocked us all by being born at home less then an hour after the hospital sent me home. He has been full of surprises ever since.He is such a ham and isable to put a smile on your face quicker then anyone I know. He is always laughing, being goofy and telling us just how funny he is. No one can cheer me up when I am feeling down, better then this little guy. He is such a cheerful and fun loving child. He is extremely determined and has a stubborn streak just like his daddy (let's just pretend that's where he gets it). It's pretty hard not to fall in love with Nuggey. He has a magnetic personality and is so fun to be around. He loves princesses, pink, and playing with his brothers. He is amazing with babies. He just loves holding them and talking to them, and is incredibly sweet with them. He is my little charmer and it's impossible to stay mad at him for long. He is my little ray of sunshine, straight from heaven and I am so proud to call him my son. I love you Nugget.
Boogs
November 16'th 2005, I was blessed with the most beautiful baby boy I had ever laid eyes on. He was 7lbs 8oz and 20.5 inches of pure bliss. That day my world was forever changed. I became a mom. Boogs has always been an incredible child, A kind and gentle spirit. He is incredibly observant and a very serious thinker. He is extremely intuitive and his little mind is always in overdrive. He is very nurturing and I could not have chosen a more perfect big brother for Nugget and K-man. He will cuddle K-man for hours and loves to sing and read to him. He also adores playing with Nugget. They are the absolute best of friends and Boogs is very protective of both his little brothers. He always seems to know when I am feeling down and is quick to offer a kind word along with hugs and kisses to make me feel better. I thank god every day for blessing me so greatly with this precious child. He touches everyone he meets and I know he will do great things in his life. I love you Boogs.
