Ma's Amazing Fam!


Todd • aka Toddly

This is my amazing hubby.  (Seen here with my sweet sis, Pam.)  He is one of the best men you'll ever know!   He's sweet, funny and generous.  Everyone loves Todd!  Twenty-six years and counting, and I'd marry him again tomorrow.  We've been through a lot over the years - a miscarriage, house fire, financial difficulties, Hurricane Ivan, and, most recently, cancer; but, we've had each other and we've had the Lord.  That's all we need to tackle whatever life throws at us!






 Nicole • aka our "adopted" daughter


We met Nicole when she was 14 and she won our hearts!  Three years later, she moved in with us; and now we couldn't imagine life without her.  She's smart, pretty and totally hilarious!  She is - and will forever be - part of our family. 







Nicholas • aka Nick, Bud, Buddy

This is our first-born and his beautiful fiance, Kristi.  Nick is every mom's dream boy!  He was the perfect baby - slept through the night after only a week or so, loved to cuddle, giggled all the time!  He's a good mix of the two of us - quiet and "even-keeled" like me, but he can be funny and the life of the party like his dad.  He's an awesome kid!  We are proud of him every day!
 



Cassandra • aka Cassie, Baby

Our baby girl, Cassie, (seen here with her boyfriend, Brian) is smart and clever and has a natural ability to brighten a room.  She is so her father's daughter.  In fact, he often tells her, "Baby, you're me in a skirt!"  She's very dramatic, but when she takes time to think things through, she has a good head on her shoulders.  Life has been an adventure since Cassie joined our family - in a good way!  She brings much laughter and joy into our home. 


And last - but not least:

 
Zigzag • aka Ziggy, Zig, the "prince"
Hopper • aka Hoppy, Hop, the "monster"

The sweetest dogs you'll ever meet.  They are spoiled rotten, but bring us so much joy!  They're funny and spunky and extremely lovable.  Since the kids are grown and fairly self-sufficient, they have become our babies.
