About Us

Me – The Square
I am a very proud wife and mother. I am thrilled of where I am today in my life. To get to this place was rough at times and I hit a few bumps in the road along the way, but each journey brought new beginnings and taught me appreciation I would otherwise not of known.

Tom – The Disciplined Force
My husband has brought me happiness that I have not experienced in my adult life. He is a true man. He’s smart, funny, a great father, and makes me a better person all around. Oh, and he pays the bills, so that part is my favorite. LOL
He and the kids are halfway to black belt in Tae Kwon Do and I am so very proud of them for that. It takes a lot of dedication to accomplish that goal.

Jake – The Big Softy
Jake is my oldest, and he’ll be 16 this month. He is my best friend and we have been thru everything together, all the ups and downs and “bumps in the road”. I am very proud to be that boy’s momma. He is the reason I work so hard. It just sucks that he’s so tall and hairy. Where’d my little boy go?

Brody – The Asthmatic
Brody will be 12 in June. He’s my baby boy. Brody is intense and passionate about everything he does. Ugh, even girls. He likes to flex his muscles and can kick some butt in Tae Kwon Do sparring matches too. We speak the same language and I enjoy my conversations and bike rides with him. He’s my buddy.

Cecilia – The Artist
Cecilia is my step-daughter. She is 11. She’s almost as tall as I am and her shoes are two sizes BIGGER than mine. At this rate, I will be shorter than EVERYONE in the family in a couple years. Cecilia is a well-rounded human being. I think she’s been in trouble 3 times in 6 years. LOL She loves to paint, sew, and do arts and crafts. Boys are not allowed near her!!!!

Xavier – The Comic
Xavier is my stepson and is 8 years old. He’s been making me laugh since I met him when he was 2 years old. He can remember every line from a movie, or recite a joke he heard his dad say, with funny voices and all. But he cannot, no matter what, remember where his shoes, backpack, or homework is. Perhaps that will come in time. LOL I love to hear him sing and talk out of the side of his mouth.

The Family -
We eat dinner at the table, as a family, every night. We love to watch movies with our popcorn and coca-cola close by on the weekends. We frequent Disneyland and the grocery store. I love my family dearly and am very proud to be a part of their lives. I look forward to retirement, (because I hate working), and Friday nights with my husband, even if we’re just folding laundry. Yes ladies, he folds laundry too. Hello, he was in the Marines.
