About Me

Melissa: Anytime anyone asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would tell them that I wanted to be a mother. I never imagined that I would have the adorable littles ones that I do have. Our little lady Lauren is 4 and our goofy happy boy Evan is 22 months old. As if that wasn’t enough-I get to have Chad. Not only is he an amazing father, but he is also my best friend and the love of my life. 6 years and going strong. I am living the dream!!

View my complete profile

The kids screaming, phone ringing
Dog barking at the mailman bringing
That stack of bills - overdue
Good morning baby, how are you?
Got a half hour, quick shower
Take a drink of milk but the milk's gone sour
My funny face makes you laugh
Twist the top on and I put it back
There goes the washing machine
Baby, don't kick it.
I promise I'll fix it
Long about a million other things

Happily Ever After

Six years and counting

Chad and I met in California. He is my best friend. He makes me laugh everyday. I feel safest when I am in his arms. We have been through a lot together. With him, I am building my dreams. Where ever he is, that is where I call home. He is my true north. I love you Chad. I would be lost without you.

My little Miss Sunshine

Lauren Nancy

Lauren is our little fashionista! She loves anything glittery and girly. If you have a pretty necklace on, she will notice it! She loves to get dressed up. Lauren is also such a good big sister. She has a tender heart and is always making sure her little brother is safe. She has an amazing capasity to love and has so much empathy, even with her tender age. She truely is our little princess.

My Happy Lil' Buddy Boy

Evan Douglas

Evan has so much light in his smile. Every picture we have of him, he is smiling! He is so goofy and has such a sence of humor. All day long he is laughing. Laughing at the dog, at his sister, or laughing becasue he found his bottle on the ground. He is a breath of fresh air. He truley is a delight! I love my little boy.

Reece's Pieces

Reece Wesley

Reece is such a good little guy. We love him so much. It is amazing just how much he adds to our family, like he was always suppose to be in our lives. Both the kids and the adults in the house adore him. He has such a special little presence. We really love our little Mr.Beans, our sweet Reece's pieces.

I'm to sexy for this shoe!

"Stop Crying!!"

For Chad

Together greet life's solemn real,
Together own one glad ideal,
Together laugh, together ache,
And think one thought-"Each other's sake",
And hope one hope-in new-world weather,
And still go on, and go together.
