Our Family!

Well, when I first started posting I was a single mom (Cyd and I's crazy life)....a lot has changed since my last post in Feb 2009!

For starters - it is no longer just Cyd and I's crazy life, it is now Matt, Hunter, Cyd and I's crazy life. I meet Matt in May 2009 and we were married May 2010. He has a son that is 1 1/2 months younger than Cyd - so we have pseudo twins as we call it. They are both 7 and entering the 2nd grade now...I can't believe they are 7!

Matt and I's story is a story book story, I moved into the apartment next to him. So I literally fell in love with the boy next door. It started as our kid's playing together and us just hanging out, and lead into so much more! He is a good dad, amazing husband - and we have fun together.

Matt has been enrolled full time in school, going for a degree in Computer Security. He has wanted to go back for some time, but until last year he hadn't been able to. Then he was laid off and decided that to take the opportunity to start his future with a college degree. I have been SO proud of him, he did really well the first year of school. This year will be harder, as he is trying to find a job and will still be going to school full-time. But I know he can get through this!

Hunter is a 7 year typical boy...play, tv, play, eat, sleep! LOL He is really starting to develop his own personality and it cracks us up a ton! He did play football last year, but decided not to this year. He also play soccer...he was amazing this year - we were very proud of how far he came.

Cydney is a 7 year girl going on 13! Her favorite things to do are puzzles, coloring, reading and smarting off to mom! She loves soccer too...she did very well this past year too! She will be a Brownie this year and is looking forward to all the cool things she gets to do. She wants to do gymnastics or cheer -we are still working on that one.

Myself - well I am no longer in school. Kid's, work, home life took the lead in my life...maybe one day I will go back, but for now I am ok with it (less stress on me!) I am 13 weeks pregnant!!! We have been trying since we were married in 2010 and finally having a successful pregnancy. We did go through 2 miscarriages which took a toll on my mentally, but so far this one is going very well! So our family of 4 will become a family of 5 in Jan 2013!!!!

Oh and I can't forget our 4 legged family member...Jax - he is our Australian Sheperd. We go him in 2011 after my second miscarriage for my birthday. He is the best dog we could have ever asked for!

Well that is the quick update on how we are and what we have been up to!

I will continue to keep everyone updated as our family grows!!
