Tim & Jackie



Here's where it all began.......12 1/2 years ago. No laughing from those who've known us from the start, I know we're adding more wrinkles as we go. It's been a fun adventure, and I know there's plenty more fun and excitement to come. The military has treated us well, always keeping us on our toes and sending us to new and fun places where we get to meet GREAT people. We take a little or sometimes lots from each of the families we get to know and love. We end up leaving family behind whenever we leave, even if it's not blood relation. I did a lot of growing and changing while we were in Vegas, we actually had two babies born at the same base, which seemed to be a feat! We learned a lot while we were there, it's a place we'll never forget due to the many people that touched our lives.

Mason



MASON!!!

Our lone boy! Poor guy, though he does get his own space, most of the time. Mason is all boy, he loves to wrestle and joke. He's a huge boon to Mom when he wants to be. He's right behind me helping keep his sisters in line if they're giving me a bad time. He's a close carbon copy to Dad in his interests. He loves Soccer, he has a special talent for goal keeping. He enjoys reading and all model making kits, Lego's or whatever. He's enjoying Dad's deployment because Dad fills him in on all the cool stuff he gets to do, though he'd much rather have him home, he's managing to find a silver lining to it all. He's enjoying a Washington winter, he's outside, properly dressed or not for the weather. He loves throwing snowballs at his Dog, Uggah, and his sisters. He misses his buddies, Todd, Jonathan, & Aaron, and wishes he could be smacking them with snow too!

Kaedran



KAEDRAN!!!

Here's little Miss Pretty. She's quite the little girl. She loves school, enjoys all arts and crafts, and is an eager helper with almost anything. She is a huge help with her sisters and keeps her big brother entertained by going ballistic wrestle-mania on him here and there. She is definitely an independent one. Once she figures out how to do something herself, she rarely asks for help. Her favorite shows are Hannah Montana, The Suite Life, and That's So Raven. She is really enjoying her first winter with snow. She's not afraid to get all cold and wet out there. She really misses her friends in Vegas but is making new friends and enjoying her new school. She really misses her Daddy, as do all the kids, and makes sure to mention him every night in her prayers. She's also about to lose her first top front tooth, it's on the verge, she won't let me yank it yet though ;) It would be so fitting before Christmas to lose one, lol.

Sienna


SIENNA!!!
Here's our social butterfly! She is a blast, lots of craziness is embodied in this little person. She is quick to make friends (whether they're prepared to make friends or not lol). She loves all things baby, she can hardly be torn from someone smaller than she is, unless it's her little sister of course. She loves to sing, she is making up her own lyrics all the time to familiar tunes. She is ring-leader when it comes to making messes with her little sis, always keeping whoever is watching them on their toes.

Ella



ELLA!!!!

Don't let that smile fool you! She is a stinker! We love stinkers though so it's all good! She keeps us all on our toes, doing things both typical and not, lol! She loves dress-up and all things animal. She misses her friends from Vegas, but is finding solace in her cousins. I can't believe our baby is 2 1/2!

Beautiful kids :)



Another shot of the crew!
