Hi I am a mother of 2 children and have 2 stepchildren, unfornately only the baby is with me. I am sure you have stories of your own .. here are mine. Mikeall was about two years old and decided that Cool Whip would be fun to play with this was at 4AM in the morning. I woke up covered in Cool Whip, guess he thought I'd like to play too. Yuck!!! Another time, we had to call the plumber cause he decided to put *8* .. yes, you heard right .. 8 Matchbox cars down the tiolet.

Haven is 21 months old and loves to dance and sing. She is my sunshine. Once when we were out she saw the yellow arches and started yelling "da-donald's, da-donald's, I hungy Daddy". We have had a time with her as she insists on calling her Daddy "Chad". I guess cause she hears me call him that. Haven loves "yellow or as she says "lellow". She also sings "Twinkle Twinkle little star" or as she says, "tweetle tweetle".

My step-daughters, Ashley and Kelsey, are like my own and I love them dearly. Once when they were over we made the mistake of giving Kelsey a dollar cause she lost a tooth. Now both of them want to lose teeth at our house instead of theirs.

Mikeall is in the second grade now, and Mikeall, Mommy loves you so so much and is soooooo proud of you for getting an award for reading at a 5th grade level.
