Early fall pics

My big family of 8 and I LOVE IT!

My Babies/Toddlers...I'm not ready to give up saying babies yet.

After this shot my boys spent the remainder of the time at the park finding the biggest sticks they could and hitting each other with it while laughing their heads off. Boys?...who can figure them out.

For this shot the girls wanted to do a "my space" pose...whatever.

My baby and me. I LOVE my hubby so much, I am so blessed.

OUR FALL DAY

We went to the park by our house to take some early fall pics. There were some changing leaves but still pretty green. The fall has been perfect so far, crisp air, sunny skies, and beautiful colors starting to show everywhere. I love Ohio. I never appreciated it so much until I traveled. I loved the mountains out west but I missed the green here. Out east and down south the weather was warmer but I missed the cool falls and winter, the humidity is a lot worse south too. I Think it is perfect here we are free from major weather problems. We get to experience all 4 seasons. Now I want to travel to the New England states. I have a feeling though that I will still be homesick for Ohio. Well This fall day we had fun taking pictures and spending time together outside. The color theme was brown's and navy's. Of course we never fell too cooped up, even in the winter, thanks to snowboarding and sledding. People are amazed I like winter so much but I really do. I love that it gets darker earlier and I love the cold winter nights. I like fall and winter fashions a lot more than summer fashions. The kids love Ohio too but they have a little warmer blood than me because they love that California LA/Palm springs HOT HOT summer sun. For now I will take in all I can here, I have a feeling we may all end up out west someday.

Mya Carter

Singer, Poet, Friendly. Sensitive, Caring, good friend. She is the softness in our home. Mya is my little mother she helps so much with the babies. They love her like a second mom. I always call her my queen, and she reigns surpreme sometimes even with a little attitude. Her strength will carry through the temptations in this life. She is firm in her beliefs and I am so proud of her. I love her warm smile. She looks so much like her late Grandma Marsha, which is such a blessing. Now her dad can see his mom in his beautiful daughter.

Harmony Carter

She is driven and studies hard in school. She likes things organized and neat. She is playful and sometimes has us laughing at her silliness. I am so grateful for her. I prayed for another girl when I was pregnant with her because I wanted Mya to have a sister. I hope she knows how special it is to be a sister and to be a good one. She radiates and we are blessed to have her.

He is a rare gem with great potential. He is our little einstein. When he was little he did not talk much he used to play thoughfully and examine things. he was always anxious to get bigger so he could do big things. I hope you never lose your fire to be big Liam. Liam collects build a bears. He also writes and illustrates hilarious comic books. As long as he keeps believing in Himself he will go far. He is ma-ma's heart.

Linnea looks out for Larissa she tries to keep her out of trouble and leads her into trouble too. She moves non-stop when she is awake, and tires mommy out.

I feel overwhelmed alot but alos overwhelmed with good feelings for my glorious blessings.

Summer News

The summer is here, and already going fast. Forrest, Mya, Harmony, and Liam are all in Reseda California (LA) Visiting with dad Travis, step mom Marika, and new baby brother Mattias. They are also spending time with cousins and uncles. They are having a great time. We all talk everyday. I miss them tons. I do not breathe the same because 4 pieces of my heart are missing. I am getting lots done here though and trying to use my extra time wisely.
My mom got us ALL a membership at the Massillon Recreation center. She is SO awesome. I honestly do not know how she keeps up with needs of all her children and grandchildren. THANKS MOM!! We have gone quite a bit. The babies are warming up to the water and starting to have lots of fun. I like summer but I do not love it. I prefer fall and winter but I plan to make this a great summer, I might even let myself get a tan. I usually hide from the sun…I don’t want any wrinkles!!!!
