E if for...

Easton - Our 2nd born. Easton was born on Dec 15, 2001. He was a bit of a surprise for us because with this pregnancy we didn't find out what we were having. He's a very strong willed, independent kid. I like that he's his own person; walks to the beat of his own drum. I just pray that as he gets older he will use his personality for doing good and being a positive example and leader to those around him. He is definitely a little lover and still enjoys hugs and kisses. Easton plays baseball and enjoys school, he started the 3rd grade this year. He also takes after his dad and is very electronic-savvy. I think if we'd let him he'd play an instrument (we just don't have time for everything!) I took this pic of him while we were in Michigan, I love it!

**ABCs disclaimer - As I move through this I realize things I've forgotten and that bothers me. I may have to do a "Version II" next year!!

The Letter...

Daisy - This is our dog Daisy. A lot of people are shocked to find out we even have a dog...that's pretty sad! Anyway, while we were on vacation my dad took her to be groomed and she looks like a million bucks. She's actually a very sweet dog, just VERY excitable. I like her coloring and she's very loyal. Any takers?? Ha!! No, seriously!!!



So, that's all I have for the letter "D". We've been away on vaca so I'm behind on my posts. I'll be working to catch up and post vaca pics...we have a lot!!! Whew!!

The Letter C...

Christ...We are a family of Christ believers and followers. We believe that Jesus was born, died, and resurrected to save all believers from the eternal doom of hell. Giving them an eternity in Heaven with Him. This is a HUGE part of who we are and what we teach our children. John 14:6 says, Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Church...Phil and I have grown up in the Church, even met there. Both of our parents go to the same church we do. Church has always been a big part of our life. Most of our friends go to church with us. We have been given so many blessings from our church family, I can't imagine not going.

Cheerleader...I was a cheerleader in HS and JR. I really enjoyed it. I would even say it changed my life. Cheerleading gave me a lot of my self-confidence, probably giving me my outgoing personality. So, everyone can thank cheerleading for who I am today. Hehe! On a side note, a judge in Connecticut recently ruled cheerleading was NOT a sport. As a former cheerleader and knowing the time and energy it takes to cheer, I am very upset by this ruling. I hope all the people fighting this get this overturned!

B is for...

Brothers...Phil and I both have a brother. My brother is Jace and Phil's is Brad...which also happens to start with the letter "B".

My brother lives in NOKC. He's 22 and works at Cattlemen's Steakhouse in the Historic Stockyards. He has the rare job of cleaning the cow fries and putting together the salads, two very important jobs at Cattlemen's.

Jace & Me

Brad lives in Frisco, TX, is 35 yrs old and owns his own business, Thompson Performance Solutions. He manages automobile inventory for dealerships. He is also married to Catherine and has two beautiful girls, Amelia and Ella.

Buzz Consulting Company...This is Phil's business that he and Ellen operate. They have the skills and abilities to do pretty much anything pertaining to computers, sound systems and phone systems. He is AMAZING behind a computer!! Hehehe!!! You can check out there website HERE.


Books...I love books. Reading has become my favorite hobby, which I grew into. I think having kids has helped out with this new found passion. If I'm reading it usually means there's peace...ahhhhh!!!! Francine Rivers is one of my favorite authors. If you haven't been blessed by one of her books you need to read one.

The Letter...

AST...
Aerospace Support Technologies is the company I work for. It's actually a division of the previous job I had at Logistic Specialties. If you didn't notice by the name, the company focuses most of it's attention on the Air Force. AST is a contractor at TinkerAFB. I've only had this job since February but I have definitely been able to increase the skill set on my resume. That's always a good thing. We are a machine shop that does repairs on anything you might put on an airplane, including A/C's and airplane jacks, just to name a couple. This is a much different atmosphere than I'm used to working but I enjoy it and everyone (most everyone) really looks out for me...probably because I do their payroll. Hehe!! The building we work in is set to be demolished so the government is working on getting another shop prepared for us to work in...new digs!! Well, new in government terms, ha!! Hopefully before the end of the year we will be moved. I'm excited!! The building we work in now is probably one of the original buildings on Tinker...which was started in the 1940s. When we're up and running I'll post pics of my new office area!! Woohoo!!
