Nutcracker: Mya's 11th yr, Harmony's 10th yr, Twins 1st time!!!

The Nutcracker has been a mom and daughter tradition since Mya went for the first time when she was 4 we have gone every year since. This year was the twins 1st time. They were so excited. They love the music and they have a couple of videos so they were well prepared. I was worried if they would last the whole time but they did great. I took along candy and treats for them and it was so neat for them to see it so close. we sat in the 3rd row. I buy tickets early so I can always have great seats. We usually go out to eat before the ballet but this year we went out to eat on a different day. Our schedule just was so full. Getting all dressed up and going to the ballet is a fun tradition and we really enjoy the girl time.

Forrest Is DRIVING it's Official!

I'm so proud of Forrest he is a great driver and very careful. I rode with him a lot and helped him learn and in my big car the poor thing. Oh well he is really doing great and having an awesome time in LA. I Can't beilive he can drive in that horrible traffic. I miss him like i can't even express.

Harmony's 14th Birthday

Harmony had a great time with friends over her birthday weekend. Her plans were to go shopping and then to the Perry High School Basketball game, then home for late night food and movies all night. She asked me to buy her a a tiera and I also bought shirts for all her Friends. They were matching style but all different colors. My Princess, it really did not surprise me that she wanted a crown, Mya really does think she is royalty. I love that girl she is miss LA all the way. i will never keep her out of the latest trends, music, stars, movies, tv shows...she is up on it all. She is a girl who knows what she wants and has a TON of confidence.

November 14th Myas Big 15

It was Mya's 15th B-day and she new exactly how she wanted to spend it. Shopping with friends at Beachwood mall and then to our fav girl spot" Miss Molly's Tea Room" in Medina. We had so much fun anf Mya's BFFS are too fun to hang round. I gave her $100 to shop and dad gave her $ too. G-ma bought her two CDS of her fav group Owl City. Mya has great taste in music and she is so much fun to hang around. We had an amazing weekend full of special fun. I made her an ice cream cake just like DQ. It was very tasty and much cheaper to make then to buy. She loved it.

Harmony and her BFF Madison

This is funny, when we went to the mall 2 of the girls had their babies from the baby project at school. they had to take care of this robotic baby for 3 days. It was funny, I lent them my double stroller to walk them around. People at the mall were staring ...hahahahaha

The mall group, Aubree from the Canton Ward joined us for this excursion. Is anything better then a bunch of girls shopping???

Mya Carter

Singer, Poet, Friendly. Sensitive, Caring, good friend. She is the softness in our home. Mya is my little mother she helps so much with the babies. They love her like a second mom. I always call her my queen, and she reigns surpreme sometimes even with a little attitude. Her strength will carry through the temptations in this life. She is firm in her beliefs and I am so proud of her. I love her warm smile. She looks so much like her late Grandma Marsha, which is such a blessing. Now her dad can see his mom in his beautiful daughter.

Harmony Carter

Fashion designer, Trendsetter, Go getter. Loving, Huggable, smiley. She is the Light in our home. Harmony will go far in life she is determined and will work hard for her success. She is driven and studies hard in school. She likes things organized and neat. She is playful and sometimes has us laughing at her silliness. I am so grateful for her. I prayed for another girl when I was pregnant with her because I wanted Mya to have a sister. I hope she knows how special it is to be a sister and to be a good one. She radiates and we are blessed to have her.

Liam Carter

Artist, Writer, Comedian. Intelligent, thoughtful, cool. He is the truth in our home.Liam is starting at Canton Country Day School this year.We are so proud he was accepted in. He is a rare gem with great potential. He is our little einstein. When he was little he did not talk much he used to play thoughfully and examine things. he was always anxious to get bigger so he could do big things. I hope you never lose your fire to be big Liam. Liam collects build a bears. He also writes and illustrates hilarious comic books. As long as he keeps believing in Himself he will go far. He is ma-ma's heart.

Linnea Tsoufiou

Happy, loves books, Cautious, Girly, Passionate. She is our sweet angel.God bleesed Linnea with a twin now she will have alife long friend who will be so close to her heart. Linnea looks out for Larissa she tries to keep her out of trouble and leads her into trouble too. She moves non-stop when she is awake, and tires mommy out. She is going throught the taking off clothes and diaper phase. Does anyone know of any escape-proof clothes? I feel overwhelmed alot but alos overwhelmed with good feelings for my glorious blessings.

Summer News

The summer is here, and already going fast. Forrest, Mya, Harmony, and Liam are all in Reseda California (LA) Visiting with dad Travis, step mom Marika, and new baby brother Mattias. They are also spending time with cousins and uncles. They are having a great time. We all talk everyday. I miss them tons. I do not breathe the same because 4 pieces of my heart are missing. I am getting lots done here though and trying to use my extra time wisely.
My mom got us ALL a membership at the Massillon Recreation center. She is SO awesome. I honestly do not know how she keeps up with needs of all her children and grandchildren. THANKS MOM!! We have gone quite a bit. The babies are warming up to the water and starting to have lots of fun. I like summer but I do not love it. I prefer fall and winter but I plan to make this a great summer, I might even let myself get a tan. I usually hide from the sun…I don’t want any wrinkles!!!!
