Easter 09

This year Easter was at our house. It was such a pleasure to have all of our huge family over. the house was filled with people, love and laughter. We had a great time with plenty of good food and company. This was my side of the family, not chad's although Chad's mom Phyllis did come over which was a real treat. Her comapny is always welcome with us and of course the babies. My sister Joy could not come, her kids came without her, she had to work. Joy has this great laugh that is contagious, she was missed. My sisters Michelle, Jenni, and Chrissy and their families all came. My brother John, my mom, and two ladies from church round out the list of people who were there. It turned out to be a sunny yet cool day but beautiful, like Easter should be. There was nothing in bloom yet in our yard so we took minimal family shots. When my garden of tulips bloom we are going to take some more pictures.

The Twins looked so cute. the flowers in their hair are actually hot pink, they look red in these pics.We try our best to get good shots of the babies, they just do not sit still and it is hard so these are some of their best shots.

We did an easter egg hunt for three age group of kids, 1-7, 8-12, 13 and up. All together we had 22kids looking for candy. The twins are going crazy over the taste for candy now that they know what it is, they ask for it all the time. They throw terrible fits over it, they cannot understand why they can't eat something so good all the time.

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

Fashion designer, Trendsetter, Go getter. Loving, Huggable, smiley. She is the Light in our home. Harmony will go far in life she is determined and will work hard for her success. 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.

Liam Carter

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. She is going throught the taking off clothes and diaper phase. Does anyone know of any escape-proof clothes? 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!!!!
