This is new to me!

Well I really don't know what I'm doing, but I'm giving it a try.  This is my first ever blog post.  I am a second/third grade looping teacher.  I love, love, love teaching!  I am in my 13th year of teaching.  I am a late bloomer!  I wish I would have started earlier.  I would have if I knew it was going to be so much fun!  I am a mother of three beautiful, lively, funny children.  Casey is 22 and is a cosmotologist!  She is awesome!  Taylor is soon to be 19 and is in her first year at college!  (She is the reason I am doing this blog!)  Cannon is 17 and our only boy!  He is the baby!  We are a soccer loving family!  I am married to Clark-we have been married for 24 years.  He is the love of my life!  He is a wonderful father to our children!

We are a pet loving family!  We have 7 members of the four legged kind in our family.  They are of varying sizes!  Our oldest pet Sasha (15 years) just passed away-she will be missed!  Next is our pet cow Amy--she was neglected by her mother and we had to bottle feed her--now she is a big pet!  Oreo is a sweet little cocker spaniel--she is 10 years old and beautiful!  Then we have Bella (Beautiful) who is a cat!  She stays outside and is very happy--she left an offering on our front porch right in front of the door (a bird) and there is her baby boy, Grayble, he is a solid gray and very handsome!  Our next pet is a little miracle--Scraggles.  Clark and Casey found him on the farm while cutting bushes.  He was about 2 weeks old and abandoned.  We took him in and raised him on a bottle.  Got so attached to him, we couldn't turn him out!  He loves his life!  I don't think he knows he is a cat!  Next up is our outside big dog Chance--crazy!  He is full of energy and doesn't realize just how big he is!  He is a golden lab mix that we rescued from the pound.  Our newest addition--is Taylor's pet hamster, Cleo.  She is a Chinese dwarf hamster!  Very tiny and very cute!  I will post pics of the babies as soon as figure out how to do that!

Well, it is late--so I'm going to bed!
