These are my gooses,
my sweetpeas,
my love punkins,
my life.
I am so in love with being a mom to these four kids of mine.
It's pure and absolute joy.
Even with the diaper changing and the sleepless nights.
and the never-ending laundry pile.

About Me
- Debra
- I have a great life. I'm a mom of three very energetic -yet delightful- girls, one very handsome little boy, a wife of the fabulous Greg, and a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Kid's say the darnest things . . .
"I need some more human cookies" declares Andew (age 4) Aug. 9 , 2014 (What??) It took me a while to figure out that he was referring to the E. L. Fudge.
"It's not about winning... it's about Jacob eating cookies!" Andrew says while walking down the stairs with his best friend Jacob. (age 4, Aug 9, 2014)
Natalie lost her first tooth tonight. Being my child that is deathly afraid of wind, she said, "Hopefully the tooth fairy will fly here safe, it sure is windy out there". May 23, 2012
"Dad don't go on that big fat loser... I'll miss you too much." Natalie to daddy as she is patting his tummy during the premier of Biggest Loser. January 4. 2010
