I don't know...I would like to help if I was able but I don't know if I would be able to mentally or emotionally.  I get attache dto the baby when I am pregnant and it would be so hard for me to give up a baby that I carried.  So no, I probably would not.

 

Same question to Jayne!!

 

well, first of all my aunt and my grandparents raised me as a child. i think mom was too young when she had me, so it makes me really close to my kids! i want them to have their mommy!! dont get me wrong though, i love my mom. i moved back in with her in middle school. I feel kinda like I have 2 moms....my aunt and my mom. i guess being a mom has helped me become closer to my mother if that makes any sense.

 

 

 

same question to Betsy

One thing it's taught me is that i need to take time to do things nice for myself every once in a while.  I think when i was growing up, all mom did was be a mother to us and wife and cargiver to my dad, she never did anything for herself, which i believe led her to leave like she did.  Things are fine with us now, but there for a while the relationship was really shaky and i don't ever want my kids to feel about me the way i felt about her for a while.  But now she's in a place where she's one of my best friends, but she's beginning to take that motherly role again too, so i'm very appreciative about how we've grown from everything we've went through together.  So another thing it's taught me is that I don't ever want to let my kids down and i want them to know that i'll always be there for them, no matter what.   

 

over to Christy! same question

lol i just realized i didn't exactly answer the question, haha.  I got on a roll though...

 

As a quick add to that i'll say that i realize that everyone makes mistakes and that you need to embrace family  for who they are and show them love and they'll come around.  Never give up hope!

 

ok, NOW,  same question to Christy...

It taught me that we all make mistakes and my mom was right about a lot of stuff! I hate to admit it but she was right all along! So learn to listen to what people tell you as it can take you a long ways in life if you do.

What is one thing you admire the most about each of your kids?

Jacob his ability to adjust to things so easy, with all the moving and new schools and stuff we put him through being a military family he adjusts so well and never complains!

Cadence her want to help people so much, she's always willing to do what she can! 

I love my kids so much and they're just great kids!

 

 

Same question to Heather!

bump

Emma for her bravery...She did awesome when she broke her arm and went through the surgery.  She was so brave.  She never cried or anything when me and BJ had to leave her with the nurses.

Becca for her love of others.  She always thinks of everyone else before herself.  She always as to make sure that whatever she has she has one for Emma too.

Not sure with Brady yet.  He is always so happy though.  He hardly ever cries!

 

Same question to Jayne!

 

 

That's really hard to imagine, simply because Jack and I have been together forever, since high school.  There were a couple times we were apart and i got to know some other guys, but none who were really right for me.  And because Jack and I both changed a lot after my dad passed, it's really hard to say if the changes i made would've been the same.   It's hard to tell if i'd be married because even though i always wanted to be married and have a family at a young age, i'm also very sure of who i am and i'd have to make sure that special person would have to be THE ONE before i made the marriage commitment.  Other than that though I really can't say what life would be like, just because I really can't imagine it any other way than it is. 

 

 

Amy...What's one thing you'd like to do for your kids or w/ your kids before they grow up and get into the teenage years.  Any special traditions you've started or vacations you'd like to go on?
