Okay I am back.The little ones are taking a quiet time so lets see how much I can get done.

Hilliary is almost 17. I cant believe she is that old. She has such a strong spirit it amazes me. She always had so much life to her,it is hard to see her just laying that bed. She cant get up to do anything anymore and it breaks my heart.She still manages to get out a smile and even try to sing on her REALLY good days. She is so pretty.I hate Batten's!!!!! I wish I could see her "normal" how she would be. Up until about 2 years ago she was doing pretty good,still able to walk with help and talk she even got in the pool ,which she loved!!! But she started declining and it just hasn't seemed to stop. Every day I wonder if I will find her like I did JJ.I know she will be better off in God's arms but mine will miss her.There is nothing like pre-planning your child's funeral.

Veronica is 16 and such a great help.She will be a great mom one day.She has learned how to cook and can make a very pretty loaf of bread.She sews and is so sweet. She has the thickest hair I have ever seen. She gets some flack about wanting a big family and wanting to be a homemaker but she stands firm in her belief and just keeps her ground.

Rebekah is 11 and is my "problem child" She is so defiant and hard to handle. We just keep to our guns and let her know that GOD does not accept disrespect and we wont either. I know she will change as she gets older,goodness I was told when I was younger I would argue with a stop sign if I thought I was right!

Olivia is 6, she is a mini Veronica,she looks so much like her sister it isn't funny. She is so petite and so dainty looking but let me tell you she will take off with the boys catching frogs,lizards etc with no problem.She is very friendly and is just wonderful.

Ryan is 5 and a mini Brett! From his love of joking around to his intelligence. He has even seen pictures of his oldest brother and swore it was him no matter who told him otherwise.He loves church and I have to say is the first to learn bible verses.

Samuel is 4 and my beloved says is a mini him ! Into everything and no fear. My husband says he was just like that when he was a kid.But Samuel loves to be cuddled. And will help out in the kitchen if I let him.

Sophia is 3 and rules the house!!! I don't know what it is about her but no one wants to see her cry. Even the other children will give into her. She is so loving and smart. She reminds me of her oldest sister when she was 3. So bubbly and adorable.

Richard is 2 and a BIG boy!!!! Nothing comes between him and his food. He is taller then Sophia and out weighs her by 2 pounds. He is a mamas boy not in a bad way but loves to be held. He will run from the time he gets up until he has to go to bed.And where ever there is water you will find him!

There that is brief introduction to our clan.As soon as I can figure out to get my pictures to show up where I want them I will post more pics.
