I am just a girl trying to matter to God, my husband, my kids, family and friends. Sometimes I hop two steps forward and crawl one step back or even have to make a twirl to get back on track. But, I hope to give more than I take and have some fun along the way. Stop by for a couple of dances and cut in when you can.
I met Gregg when I was 17 and have been madly in love with him ever since. He is selfless, works really hard, and will do anything for anyone. He really is “that” nice all the time and he makes me a better person. He loves anything outdoors and runs like Forrest any chance he gets. He makes a mean bbq, dances with the kids to Elmo, and leaves cards for us to find all over the house. He is everything I could have ever dreamed of, and I am so proud to be his wife.
Mr. Christian has bluest eyes and is full of life. He is “all boy” and jumps from one adventure to the next. He loves trains, watermelon, and his blankie. He is polite, kind, and has tons of charisma with his little grin. He is a great big brother and gives in to girls more than they deserve. He is Daddy’s little buddy and the joy of my heart.
Miss Callie is everything I ever dreamed up in a little girl. She is about everything and everybody and never sits still. She loves all things girly, babies, mommy’s cell phone, pink, and her pillow. She has a laugh that starts in her toes and will melt you with her smile. She dances through our house in princess dresses with a pen and pad in her hand. She is mama’s little helper and Daddy’s Sweet Pea.
Cate is the icing on the cake. God knew she would be the perfect compliment to our family. She loves necklaces, animals, and her loveys. She has just enough girly to hang with Callie at her tea parties, but already shows a special bond with her big brother loving his superheros. She is a typical third child getting whatever she wants with those deep dimples of hers.
The Brinkleys have a zoo pass...you know those people who are actually members of the zoo. No, they don't have a bumper sticker on their car, but they have been several times already this year. So, they can take us for free...and you know I like free. I mean if you are going to drag 4 kids in the 100 degree heat sweating while you are lifting them up to see animals that aren't even there to see since they are smart and they are hiding in the shade...you might as well not have to pay $50 to do it. I think Jen and I enjoyed having all 4 of them strapped down and watching tv on the way down so we could have an actual conversation the best. It was good to catch up and the kids had a great time, esp. with the monkeys and the birds. Side note, if you don't have a kid like C, then you probably will not relate. But, I do have a whole new appreciation for the U-tube videos of children falling into the exhibits. The zoo is one of those places where I can't really relax as my little monkey is busy trying to scale the lion wall.
Maddie gets extra points since she didn't complain one time about being so hot.
C could have cared less about any of the animals...Train please. We kept telling him that we were looking for it...poor baby...we made him wait until the end and this is how happy he was when we finally found the train.
