My Husband's Racing Days...
Adam drove a race car on dirt tracks. We were always at the race track on a Saturday night. Once the kids were born, we even brought them with us. It was so much fun. In 2007, he stopped racing because it was just to hard to handle with our four children. -
Marriage
Adam and I got married and we went to Daytona Beach for our honeymoon. -
Our daughter, Isabelle, was born.
After finding out that I was pregnant with Isabelle, I put my school studies on hold, to concentrate on my family. It was one of the hardest things that I have ever had to do. It has made me a stronger person, and now she and my other three children are what drive me to push myself to finish college. Everything I do and sacrifice is for them, and I will not quit until I become a teacher! -
Vero Beach
My husband was working with a crew to clean up hurricane damage in Vero Beach, Florida. We went down there to stay with him, while evacuating our home, from hurricane Ivan. -
Lost Our House...due to Hurricane Ivan
In 2004, after hurricane Ivan, we had evactuated to South Florida. A few weeks later we came home, to realize our rental house had been destroyed. The roof caved in the house, and ruined all our furniture and our firstborn little girl's room! We lived in Atmore, and had to move in with my parents in Gulf Shores. -
Our Big Move
Days after my birthday, we moved our house to Flomaton, Alabama. -
Our son, Alan, was born.
We found out we were going to have another baby, when my daughter, Isabelle, was only 5 months old. All through my pregnancy, I was told my baby was a girl. At 1:42 in the morning, HE was born! We didn't even have a name for him, until a few hours before we left the hospital. Needless to say, I had quite a bit of stuff to take back to the store, to swap for a different color! I wouldn't have had it any other way! He's the light of my life and still tells me daily how pretty I am! -
Pneumonia Scare
Our first daughter, Isabelle was hospitalized for Pneumonia until August 2, 2005 -
Our daughter, Haylea, was born.
Our baby, Haylea, was our last baby girl. She was and is always the life of the party! :) -
Haylea in the hospital
My daughter, Haylea was born on the 28th. She had to stay in the hopital for 5 days because she had severe jaundice, and she had to lay against a special light. -

My Husband's Brother

ALS Walk
In 2005, my Aunt Linda was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gherig's Disease). She is such an inspiration to myself, my family, and everyone who knows and loves her! Right before my birthday last year, my family and I went to Mobile to walk in her honor. She still lives today, with more faith and love than I could ever imagine! -
