US

To all my family and friends here is a little letter about me and mine.

Welcome to chaos, my house is a mess, it is clean, but we live here, I do not care if your floors are spotless, we are playing outside or listening to a great story from one of the kids. We do not take pictures of everything as we are to busy being the picture. I will brag on ALL of my kids as they are the best, honestly I don't know where they get it because I am a real troll.

BRAXTON is amazing he is only 9 but understands more about the world than most adults(our poor children have gone through so much this year and he has stood so strong). Of course we are proud of him but most importantly he loves himself. He has such a great personality and holds no malice towards anyone. His teachers have all told Mike and I, that Bug is the first student others turn to as he does not judge. He is such a great student that he will start attending forth grade part of the day after Christmas break.

CARSTEN is our little cub he is the sweetest little boy ever, at 7 he is in the first grade and has discovered in himself a great love of math he is absolutely wonderful at it. He also has an amazing ability with animals, they all seem to love and trust him. He has been such a bright spirit for me this past year, with his infectious laugh you just hear it and your day is better.

ARDYNN is truly our sunshine, she has finally(her words)started kindergarten were she surprised us all and had already taught herself to read. She and Carsten both were named Students of the Month for September. We call her our future Doctor as she spent so much time helping Mike this past winter she is so curious about all things medical we have great hopes for her career future.


KALLISON is my best friend as she tells me that every day. She is such a special little girl, she could take care of the entire family single handed as she is so independent. Dawson lights up the minute he sees her, and they talk in their own special language(I sometimes wonder what great secrets they tell.) She already shows such great love and potential for life That I cannot wait to see where she goes.

DAWSON has been such a blessing to us all, he has taught me not just the importance of being a mom, but to also slow down and enjoy the little things. Seeing him fight so hard for life made me see the wonder in each day even if my "list" never gets finished.

So there in a nut shell is our children each a special blessing to us, and none complete with out each other. They really do make a great team.
