Michael & Laura-We really look forward to adding to our family! Thank you for taking the time to learn about us!

This is our house. We are so blessed to live on 3 beautiful acres in the middle of the suburbs. Our kids have a great time running and playing in the yard.

This is from a trip to Moab Canyon in UT. It is so beautiful there!

Sage, Skye, and Ryan at our favorite vacation spot, Dollywood. We go there every year. This year we were lucky enough to go twice.

We had a blast at Dollywood this year. This is Sage's first time on this ride.

Michael is helping Skye on a ride at Dollywood. Skye was really nervous, but she knew she was safe with daddy.

The family is getting ready to swim at Dollywood's water park. We love to go there every year!

Here is the family at the end of our Dollywood '08 trip. Once again I am behind the camera.

One of the rare photos I am in because I am the one who takes most of the pictures. I sure do love our kids!

I just love to spend time with our kids.

This was Michael's first time on a rock climbing wall. He really enjoyed it.

We took a trip to Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas to dig for diamonds. We didn't find any but we had a great time digging in the dirt!!!

Sage and Ryan love to ride the ATVs at the Grandparent's farm. Each of the grandkids has their own ATV. The younger kids have battery opperated machines while the older kids have the real thing.

This is the bed we built for Skye. We bought the plans off the internet and built it ourselves. It is a loft bed so she can sleep up top or on the bottom. There are even secret hiding places.

I made these bears for the kids for Christmas. Ryan's bear is actually bigger than he is! These bears are HUGE!

I made these matching outfilts back in '02.

I made our costumes. Michael, Ryan, and I are chickens. Sage is a knight in shining armor and Skye is Rapunzel (with out the long hair.)

We have an anual Easter Egg Hunt at our house. This year we had over 100 kids and 2,000 eggs in the yard! It was great fun!

Laura, Skye and Sage.

Skye with one of our chickens. She loves to hunt for the eggs then give them to her friends and teachers at school.

These are our donkeys Trenton and Toby. I absolutely ADORE them! They are so sweet and gentle and fun. Their FAVORITE snack is Ginger Snap Cookies.

Skye with Jed on our one day of snow a year in Mempis.

Sweet Pea enjoyed joining the kids in their pool. We went "swimming" every day over the summer.

When let out in the yard, the donkeys will check out the front porch every once and a while. I just love these animals!!!

The simple things of life! A simple rope swing can make a kid's day! This is Ryan enjoying the swing while Skye and Sage are in school.

This is most everyone in the family.

Some of the things we do for fun. Going to the lake, fishing, visiting Dollywood, camping in the house and yard, playing in the leaves, our anual easter egg hunt.

Ryan, Skye, and Sage.

This is from our ski trip to Breckenridge, CO. Michael loves to ski and this was my first time on the slopes. I quickly learned that I enjoy snowmobiles better.
