Here I Go!!

I am new to this whole blogging thing, but I have so much to say so I thought I would give it a go!!

Let me introduce me and my fabulous fam.

Amy-I am 34 years old and am the SAHM to Dalton, 10 and Dylan, 2. I am married to the most handsome guy in East Texas, Tony. If you don't believe me just ask him. LOL I homeschool my boys and love being with them all day. I love to hunt and run. I hate to clean house. I am the middle of 3 girls, and yes, all those things they say about the middle child are true. I had lapband surgery 1 year ago and have lost 95 pounds. I feel like I have a new lease on life. I have learned to love running and even completed a 5K run this year.

Tony- My DH. He is a welder machinist and also loves to hunt. He plays the guitar and writes songs. He has a beautiful voice and is very talented. There is not much Tony can't do. He sometimes comes across as being hard or uncaring, but he is really a softy. You just have to get to know him. We dated for 4 years and have been married for 13. He is my best friend.

Dalton- Dalton will be 10 on Dec. 20th. He is becoming quite the young man. He is very sensitive and loves his mama!!! He is very helpful around the house. Dalton even changes poopy diapers. I would rent him out, but his services are way too valuable to me. LOL. This is our 2nd year to homeschool Dalton. I love him being home during the day. He is doing very well in school this year. He is becoming much more of an independant learner. I love watching him grow in character as much as book knowledge. He also loves to hunt. See a trend here. He is also a ripstik pro. Dalton is learning to play the guitar and can now play You Are My Sunshine. I sure do love that boy!!

Dylan- Last but certainly not least is Mr. Dylan. Dylan came to live with us when he was 2 months old. We adopted him just before his first birthday. Dylan had a very rough start as he was born to a cocaine addicted young lady, and lived in that world for the first 2 month of his little life. His first several months with us were very difficult as he suffered the consequences of her choices. I will share more about all that later. Dylan is an energetic, healthy 2 year old. He is a clown. Just thinking about him makes me laugh. His birthmom voluntarily signed her parental rights over to us. She chose our home for him. I am very humbled and blessed to have been chosen to be Dylan's mom. Dalton summed Dylan's story up better than I could. We were driving down the road one day and he said, "Mom, it's like God saw Dylan in a bad place and then he saw me and knew I had prayed for a baby. Then he took Dylan from that place and put him in our arms." That's our Dylan.

My blogging will not always be this long, hopefully, but now you have had a "proper" introduction to me and my wonderful boys!!
