I never knew how much love my heart could hold until someone called me "mommy."

Wrestle Mania...
My parents surprised me on April Fools by coming over and kicking me out of the house for the night while they stayed with the kids. It was the best suprise a single mom could ever ask for... even though I technically didn't ask! Anyway, I grabbed my overnight bag and checked into a local hotel for a night of rest and relaxation! I enjoyed a nice dinner out with one of my girl friends, and then spent the rest of the evening swimming in the hotel pool and watching tv in my room. It was heavenly!
Meanwhile,back at home my kids were keeping my parents quite entertained! By the time I came back on Saturday afternoon, the kids were worn out from all the quality time spent with their grandparents!

Alexis chasing Chloe...
Thanks, Mom & Dad, for giving me a night of freedom!
God has blessed me with three rambunctious sons and one precious daughter. My oldest son, Andrew, is 10 and my little overachiever (which I LOVE). Next comes Austin, who is 8, and a ball of energy from dawn to dusk! My youngest son, Aaron, is 6, and a definite "momma's boy". My baby girl, Alexis, is 3 1/2, and the princess of the family. I come from a large family and have the greatest friends a girl could ask for. I am far from perfect, but redeemed by the blood of Jesus! I am thankful for His grace and mercy every day!
This blog is just a little glimpse of my everyday life as a single mother of 4. It's mainly written to help document some of the things I may not remember down the road and figured I would share with you. Happy reading :)
