Jeremy and Hydie (mom and dad)

We met in 2004 and knew within weeks of dating that we would be together forever. We were married November 23, 2004 with our three older boys in attendance... that's right, a mixed family, and what a great experience it has been. We feel so blessed to have found one another and even more blessed to be able to share our lives with our five boys! We love to just hang out and have fun together with our boys.

As a family we love to eat, play in the backyard, watch movies, take mini vacations, spend time with extended family and joke around a lot! There is always a lot of energy at our house and we love to watch our big boys be such good big brothers to the two little additions our family has gotten since our family was formed.

This blog will be a start at capturing memories along our journey together and I am excited to get started!

Daddy or Jeremy is our jiu jitsu man. He works hard and plays hard. His muscles may make some think he is a mans man but he has his family side which consists of him spending most of his time at home wrestling the boys, playing with the family outside and pampering me. He even cooks!

Paycen is always full of energy and is definately a two year old right now! He has daddyitis pretty bad right now and loves playing 'games' which means getting out board games and setting up the little pieces however he sees fit. He is our sweet baby.





Pierce is our pre-teen who loves sports and loves his friends. We can always count on pierce to get a game going in the backyard with all the neighborhood kids or just our own family team.







Caden is our teenager who is intrigued with science and still likes to be silly sometimes and just joke around. He likes to read and fish and play games.




Nate is our 11 year old aspiring chef. As well as cooking he likes being a part of the Scout Troop, camping, and reading. If we dont know where Nate is we can almost always find him in his room reading.

This is a perfect picture of Brycen's personality. He is silly and fun and always right in the action.
