Well, theres a first time for everything!

I never thought I would ever do a blog about me and my family. I guess it's time. I probably should have started this several years ago, when the kids were babies.
Dan and I have been married now for 6 and 1/2 years. Our oldest child, Skyler, is now six and in Kindergarten. Our youngest child, Emma Lee, is three and she is in preschool. We have three wonderful dogs, my other "children". Kayla is 6, Coach is almost 2 and Bo is 6 months. I think our family is complete, except Emma Lee wants a dog. We told she has to wait until she turns six, maybe she will forget by then! I will keep hoping.
I am in school in Snyder, again and will graduate in May. I have also recently joined a MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) Group in Sweetwater. I really love the time I get to be with other mommies. We discuss the trials and the blessings of being moms . It is really nice to have people I can talk to about all the things that I am dealing with at home.
Dan works in the oilfield. He is a MWD Hand, which is too much to describe. He puts together a tool that goes down the drilled hole (while they are drilling) and it sends back readings to his computer which he follows inside his trailer.

I think that is enough for now. I want to have a way to journalize the blessings and challenges of being a mom, a wife, a student, and a person.
