I'm a 34 year old mother of four. My oldest (19) is a bright ball of energy that lights up the room, Amanda. She is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. I have an 18 year old boy, Zachary, who is the strong silent type. He's very down to earth and easy going. The kind of kid you can't help but like the first time you meet him. Kaila (15) is my "Taste-of-Chaos" buddy! She's a head strong, independent, and talented young woman. Not at all like her, mom. ;) She's unbelievably strong and has been my pillar of strength on more than one occasion. Samantha is my baby at 13. She is a true hero! October 2006 she underwent 3 open heart surgeries within 2 weeks to fix an extremely rare heart defect. She is the strongest person I know! All my children are truly amazing. And the head of this household is my wonderful husband of 15 years, Mike. He puts up with me, and holds me up. He is a truly patient man! I love him with all my heart. If you do the math, you have deduced that it is almost impossible for me to have a 19 year old. I share my two oldest children with Mike and his ex, Emily. She has shared her wonderful children with me for 15 years. They are my step-children by law, but by love belong to me in my heart. I love my family very much and am truly blessed!
