Life Changes














































It is amazing how ones life changes so. I remember as a kid I never thought there was such a thing as happiness, but yet I wanted to live for ever in high school with my friends. It seemed that was the only time I felt happy. Then I had my children. Wow twins right off the bat. It was so neat knowing I would have two babies at one time. RIGHT!! (Bobby and Steven) Then they where here and very much work. Some days I thought I would truly go out of my mind raising them. For everything they seemed to do wrong they did 10 times the things right. They were into everything. What one did not think of the other did. I should have been skinny chasing them. I would give anything to chase them now but they are grown up and 22 years old. I miss them and wished we lived so much closer. Then there was my son Jordan. He was the best behaved well manner child all the time even when he was sick. God figured I needed a break after the twins. LOL Today he is in the military and just turned 20. I too am very proud of him. He has a heart of gold. So do the twins any of them would give them you the shirt off their backs. Then with my last pregnancy I knew I was going to have another boy. After 3 boys you just know. Oh how I wanted a girl but knew I wasn't getting one. So when I delivered that last baby and the doctor told me it was a girl I did not believe them. I took the diaper off and looked for myself. Yes a little girl to dress all pretty. Nice try mom just to let you know I am a tom boy. Breanna did everything with her brothers and so my little girl wore her dress without her shoes ( just so Sheri could see her feet) and dirty all over from catching worms, frogs and snakes. It was a chore to put ponytails in her hair. Oh how she hated it. She too would do anything for anybody. Oh how she was the apple of my eye. I wonder what she would be like today, my precious little angel. I only got to keep her for 7 and a half years but would not trade them for anything. When she went to live with God I again thought I would never be happy again. Oh how life changes and how it changes us. Yes I did find my happiness again, in my three sons. God has given my such a wonderful family to love and be loved by. I would not change one thing about my children or my life it has taught me so much. Breanna would be 16 today. I was also blessed with a grand daughter in October of 2006, Nevaeh. I remarried a year ago tomorrow and there too I was wrong. I was alone for 8 years before meeting Doug. We seem to think we know everything but God proves to us all in good time. Again I would not change anything about my life because I would not be where I am today.

Here we have Bobby & Nevaeh, Breanna, then Nevaeh, daddy Steven & Nevaeh, Uncle Jordan & Nevaeh, Bobby, All 4 of my children two week before Breanna pasted away in 1999, Jordan, and Breanna at 1 day old.

I love, love your pictures. First time I got to see Doug too! Happy Belated Anniversary! Reading your post made me happy and sad. Happy you found love again and that your handsome boys are doing well in life. I just can't get over you being a grandma! You are way too young! She is beautiful but that runs in the family. Sad, because I can't imagine how much you must still miss Brea. She might have been a tomboy (and stuck her feet on me, ewww!) but she was so so beautiful and full of spirit. She loved her animals that is for sure. I have all my pictures of her and Colin seperated and look at them often.

Take care sweetie!
Miss you!
