HomeSo these are the Days of Our Lives...Oct 28, 2007
Take your shoes off and put your feet in the sand...Time to relax

Photobucket

[I'm just here to make new friends and read lots of Blogs. I find people interesting. I'm new at this site so be nice...please...lol

I am married to a wonderful man, we have 6 kids between us and a grandbaby on the way

Anthony is almost 21, Ashley is 19, Autumn is 18, and Alyssa is 15. I also have my 2 step children Brannon 12, and Mara 10. I also can't forget my new son-in-law Steven who is married to Ashley, a new member to the family and greatly accepted.

I am a fun loving girl. I love my family! They are the world to me! I love seeing them smile. Life has its hardships but I wouldnt choose it to be any different.

Love my family first off. Love having fun with them and watching them enjoy life.

I love being near the water and putting my toes in the sand.

  I love Photography and being behind the camera. There is just something about catching a moment you can never replace.

Fishing is a favorite of mine also. I think I was born with it in my blood. Most people on my Dads side do alot of fishing.

  Music is important to me. I need music to relax me. I have songs pop in my head in every conversation...I know, its crazy, but I do. Everyone in my family is musically talented in some way shape or form. Nothing like after a long frustrating day at work climbing in my truck and blaring the radio to let off some steam.

  Love watching movies. Always have and always will.

  I also love animals. I have a respect for them. They are more loyal than most humans and they totally trust you.
