My Peeps

Wild Thing: The baby. :) 4 years old and becoming such a big boy. Pair him with CL and you're in trouble but on his own he's almost manageable! totally hilarious. Says the strangest things (made all the more entertaining by his awesome lisp). All my kids are pretty smart but this one is the brightest of the bunch!! Having the best time watching him grow up!
Chicken Little: Don't let his small size deceive you.... this is one wild child. 7 years old and the kind of boy that makes his evil grandmother giggle with delight. Couldn't be cuter, which was God's way of ensuring we didn't leave him for the Indians. Works on 2 speeds: ultra and asleep.
The Good Boy: 11 years old and true perfection. Cute, quiet, smart, thoughtful,kind, funny. I don't know where this kid came from but I am so grateful he was given to me!! I love it when people meet him and think I'm the world's best parent... seriously, he's just naturally great!!
The Drama Queen: 14 years old. Truly believes all the world is a stage and every single thing is a production worthy of an Oscar caliber performance! Just like her Momma she is sweet, scatterbrained, and clutzy. Unlike her Momma she is great at sports (Volleyball) and on the Honor Roll! I'm amazed!!
The Angsty Teen: 17 years old with her father's temper. I'm pretty sure the person who coined the phrase "Karma's a bitch" had a teenager. When she's not sulky she's great fun to have about. VERY funny, she inherited her Mother/Grandmother's love of sarcasm.
