Family

I have a big family with my awesome husband.  We have my two biological kids and my husband's kids- are mine as well!  

Our oldest, Megan, 27, just had our first grandbaby in February, and we are so excited!  

Peter, 26, works for a cellar company and installs and maintains cell towers.  He sends us pictures from crazy high places!

Brigitta, 24, works as a PE teacher for SkyView Academy in Highlands Ranch.  She is doing her 2nd year now and loves what she does.

Dakota, 18, graduated from Littleton High School after having open heart surgery in May.  She was able to walk to get her diploma on her own!  She is a CNA and is looking for work so she can help others.

Gray, 17, is homeschooled and has started working as a nanny.  The first few days/weeks were hard!  I knew they would be :) We watch scary movies together and she makes me laugh harder than anyone.  She is planning on going to college to be a therapist.

Pets

We have a lot of pets-dogs and cats (too many cats some say).

We have a full-time dog named Patches who is 4.  He is an Australian Sheppard/Border Collie who should be so smart, but he isn't.  We love him anyway!

Our second dog is part-time.  My friend's life changed and she needed help with her dog, so now we have Teddy, 2, who is a golden doodle.  Patches and Teddy love to play and they wear each other out!  It's fun to watch them play.

We have 3 cats.  Not all of them are my fault!  One cat was left when Megan moved out, then we had 3, anyway. 

Noodles is our oldest cat, 8, and is a Maine Coon mix.  She is huge and is the loudest purrer I have ever heard, but when she meows, it is silent.  It's a Maine Coon thing.

Midnight is just slightly younger than Noodles and is the smallest cat.  He is black with a white heart of his chest and partial socks on both front paws.  He thinks he is the top dog!

The youngest (who was left) is Milo.  He is a full black, long haired long cat.  He can jump up to the ceiling and is incredibly shy.  He is also the softest of all the pets.
