Meet the family

Vince and I have been married since August 8th, 2004. We met when I was 18 and he was 23.

Melanie is our beautiful feisty 7 year old. She definitely speaks her mind. Reminders me a lot of myself.

Allison is our sweet, loving and opinionated almost 6 year old. She loves working on puzzles and often enjoys playing alone.

Sophie is our loving 3 year old that is very full of energy.

Landon is our sweet, active, loving, daddy's boy.

Charlotte is such a sweet baby. She is mellow and likes to sleep (for mommy at least) When she is awake she often has a very big smile on her face. When her siblings are around she watches their every move.

Things kids say....

In the car on the way home Allison took her shoes off and Melanie tried to help her get her socks and shoes but then Allison started to scream at her and Melanie said “ALLISON YOU ARE DELIBERATELY DISOBEYING ME!” AND Allison said “I’M A GIRL, I’M ALLISON!”
Daddy: Wanna see a picture of Jessica’s baby? Melanie: Yes Daddy: That’s baby Lilly Ann H. Melanie: Who? Daddy: That’s Lilly H., that’s Erik H, and that’s Jessica H (pointing out the faces). Melanie: Why Lilly? Daddy: Because that’s what they named her. Melanie: But they already have a dog named Lilly. Daddy: No silly, that’s Grandma Janas. Melanie: Oh—can mommy have a Sophia?
Vince walked in to Melanie’s room holding a thing of Vicks for her chest, Melanie said “what are you going to do with that?!?”
“Mommy, Uncle Ben is one luck man!” Melanie’s said to me when I made it to the front with the rest of the bridesmaids.
Mommy and the girls at McDonalds—Mommy “Can I get a Cheese Burger with no Ketchup and no pickles, just meat and cheese.” Finished my order and pulling forward. Melanie “Mommy did you tell that man no, no?” Mommy “well sort of, I said no ketchup and no pickles” Melanie “mommy don’t tell him no, no, he is not in trouble, he is a nice man”
Daddy—“Alright, get in bed, Dear.” Melanie—“Deer? I’m not a deer!” Daddy—“No, not a deer, I mean dear. Dear means I love you, like when I say I love you baby.” “I’m not a baby deer, I’m a big deer!.... (Long pause). Daddy, I’m a black deer.” Daddy—“Ok, then I’m a white deer.” Melanie—“Ok baby deer, goodnight.”
Melanie "mommy, I say oh my goodness, you say what" mommy a little confused says "what?" Melanie says "oh my goodness"
"Daddy how do you spell carrot" daddy "C-A-R-R-O-T" "daddy how do you spell C.J." daddy "C-J" "No daddy how do you spell C.J." repeated about 4 times than Melanie "NO DADDY I AM TRYING TO ASK YOU HOW YOU SPELL CJ?"
Melanie "daddy you're all dirty" daddy "yeah I was putting the cabinets up, see the cabinet" Melanie "oh good! Now grandpa will be happy!"
"Mom stop you are making me nervous" while I have my hand on her back
I can’t clean it up my legs are broken!”
"I just love them! And they want to snuggle with me!" About her fake fish in her fish take. And also "OOPS! They don’t have a headache!" after she dropped the box her fake fish came in.
"NICK!!! Stop playing the picano (piano) it's rude, I’m watching Word World"
Melanie “Dad, do you like blue cheese??” Vince “no” Melanie “Dad, do you like pink cheese??”
Mommy and Melanie at Kay’s Jewelers-- Melanie “mom can you take your teeth out like Grandpa?” Mommy “no” Melanie “like this mom” pulling on her front teeth…. Than to the lady behind the counter “can you take your teeth out like grandpa?”
“Mommy what’s that?” Pointing to my head… “My hair” I say….. “No mommy you don’t have any hair” says Melanie
