Well, I've decided to start blogging as a means of a journaling keepsake for my kids and family. I love to scrapbook when I've got the time, but rarely journal on the pages. So this is where I've decided to start doing it. I figured it's a great way to ring in the new year. Can you believe it's already 2009! WOW! Time flies by way too fast.
I remember when we had our first child everyone told us how fast she would grow. And here we are, 6 years later with TWO little girls. Taitum is 6 and Rilyn is 2 1/2. They are my world. Although they may not bring out the best in me at times...they are my life and I would be lost without them.
Taitum is my sassy little diva who has an answer for everything and an attitude that's mommy's payback :) She is half way through 1st grade and is doing extremely well. She's a social butterfly and loves to run the show everywhere she goes. She's in gymnastics, dance and cheer and loves them all, but we're at a point now where she needs to make a decision and pursue one whole-heartedly. Hopefully we'll come up with a decision early this year and let her flourish in whichever she decides.
Rilyn is my little sweetheart, although she's learned a thing or two from big sis and has become quite the bossy little entertainer! She has the biggest heart and is full of love! She LOVES to sing and dance and perform in front of anyone who will watch. She might just be out little actor on Broadway someday. Lipgloss, or any makeup for that matter, is a must with this child! There is never a dull moment with her....EVER!
As for mommy and daddy: I went back to school for the second time in 2006 to pursue my nursing degree and have recently got my first job as an RN at Banner Good Samaritan. I am not sure I've found my niche yet, but I'm enjoying the experiences and knowledge along the way. My husband Derek is an amazing man....especially since he has been able to put up with me for the past 7 years! He's been working for the Wal-Mart Distribution Center since they opened here in Casa Grande and is content with where he's at for now.
We have definitely been blessed with an awesome family and all the amazing people that we surround ourselves with. It's our life and we wouldn't change it for the world!
