Introducing Aaron Linwood Ross

With the adoption being a couple weeks away, we feel it's time that we can start posting pictures of our soon to be son Aaron (aka FC1). We've posted his adoption announcement above. We're thrilled to have him in our family!!!

Minivan Mama

Well, it's official....I'm old. I've come to this conclusion based on two facts. #1 - I'm turning 30 in a couple months, yikes! #2 - I am now the proud owner of a minivan.

Our previous car was really on it's last leg, and was in need of repairs, so we had to start looking for our next vehicle. As we started looking around we quickly realized that a minivan was the most logical choice for our family of 2 quickly changing to a family of 5! Literally two years ago it was just Clint and me. In just a few months we'll be the parents of three.

I guess I'm just ranting about it because it's hard to believe how fast time goes by, and how quickly your life can change. Clint jokes that I prayed too hard and got 3 kids instead of 1. Though one is not technically ours, we're still hoping that he will be.

I always knew one day I would drive a minivan and be a carpoolin- mama, it's all just happened so fast. We're truly blessed!!

Fun with Helmets

Clint has been riding his motorcycle now that it's warm. The boys LOVE to wear the motorcycle helmets. It makes us laugh every time. Their bodies are so small and the helmets are so big.


FC2 worked very hard going "poopy in the potty" so he could earn the toy airplane he has in his hands. It is his favorite toy now. It's almost always in his hands.

I Love Nephews

Happy Father's Day

This Father's Day I've been thinking a lot about all the wonderful fathers in my life, who are true examples of what it means to be noble and honorable. There are many many men who have been good examples to me throughout my life, but today I want to pay tribute to two of them.

My Dad is amazing. He's suffered chronic intense pain for years and years. Despite the pain and discomfort, he doesn't stray, he doesn't murmur, he stays true to what he knows is right. Not only that he makes his life about us, his children. He has ALWAYS been there for me when I've needed him. I feel so blessed to be his daughter.


Secondly, my wonderful husband Clint. He's my better half. He teaches me what it means to serve others. He's so selfless and I adore him. As a father to our two foster sons he's AMAZING. I can always count on him to step in and take care of them when I can't. I truly adore this man!!!

Happy Fathers Day!!!

Excited to be big brothers

We told the boys about the baby a couple weeks ago. They are SO EXCITED! FC1 drew me this picture the next day. The bigger "person" is me, and the little "person" is the baby after it's out of my tummy. Every day they come and put their little hands on my tummy and tell me that the baby is getting bigger. FC2 is convinced that he has a baby in his tummy too. It's so fun to all be excited together.
