Hi Guys! I'm Krista, the resident chef, financial adviser, calendar, nurse, maid...you get the point...In other words I keep things running smoothly. I have a degree in culinary arts, but once I earned that I decided that wasn't for me...so...back to school I went. I now have a bachelors degree in Accounting to add to my collection. Brandon and I met while I was attending culinary school. That old saying "the way to a mans heart is through his stomach"...So True. I brought him a brownie one day after class...and the rest is history :) Being "mommy" is the greatest. Just watching my kids brings me so much joy. They make the day to day struggles of life so much easier to manage with giggles, kisses, and hugs.
So you can get to know us a little.....

Brandon
Hello everyone, I'm the man of the household (haven't broke the news to my 2 yr old son yet). Still working on my career goals. Not a lot can be said for your career when you're more well-known by your PS3 gamer-tag then your resume. Crowning achievements?...My b-e-a-utiful wife and my children. Loving Krista(my wife) has always been easy, because she makes it easy. She's an amazing mother, friend, companion, woman, has beautiful eyes, a wonderful laugh .....etc. Let's just say if I used the stars at night and matched each one with a reason why I love her... I would run out of stars. As for my children, they will be my legacy and I pride myself on trying to raise them the best way I know how. I have always felt the role of parenting is pretty simple, we as a society make it so complex. I by no means am the prefect parent, I just simply try every day to give them every opportunity to succeed and grow, a few minutes of laughter every day, more love then they could possibly need, and a few hugs. In return they give me moments I will charish forever. Sometimes it gets hard...it does for everyone. My children help me just as much I do them. Every day is another day of shared memories and the duty of making them lunch which almost always consist of a fruit punch...you just focus on them and repeat. That's rollin' with the fruit punches.
So you can get to know us a little.....

She is as smart as her mother, and as easily distracted as her father. She's all diva as well...source of origin... unknown. Being that she is a diva at heart, her favorite color is pink. Boy oh boy, is it pink. Pink outfits, pink bed, pink boots, favorite princess.... Aurora. Why? You guessed it...because she wears a pink dress. She is becoming quite the artist as well. Sometimes on paper, sometimes on her dolls and dresses, and sometimes on the wall. Each piece is of course a Picasso to my wife and I. She has an amazing imagination and uses it to act out various activities such as, dressing up in princess outfits, prancing around like a regal ballerina, hosting sleepovers with her dolls...just to name a few. She also loves to laugh, say silly things, and be goofy... sometimes a little too goofy. Yet as crazy as she may get, and as crazy as she may drive us, she has this unbelievable skill to make us laugh, cry with joy, or become overwhelmed with love and admiration. This skill has served her well in the earning of an extra hug, tickle, or some gummies, and of course fruit punch.

Jacoby
As happy as he is cute he's all cuddle bear. I say this because he loves to wrap his arms around your neck, lay his face on your shoulder, and melt your heart with hugs. Quite the ladies man, his teachers inevitability fall in love. Each one falling for his adorable goofiness, chuckle, big beautiful blue eyes, and those cuddles(kid is a care bear). His face is incredibility expressive for a toddle and sometimes you cant help but give him a laugh. He has this one look that we call "the poutie face"... very effective...very addorable. Kid is going to trip on his lip one of these days. Always the little daredevil, we must keep one eye on whatever we are doing and one on little Tarzan here. Starting to believe he is half human, half monkey. There is not a thing in our house that he hasn't tried to climb (or that we found him on top of). Have the feeling he is going to be a sports nut like his father. First word was MOMA...Second DADA...third FuuutBawwww (football). He loves to play with any kind of ball whether it be a baseball, basketball, football, soccer ball, etc. He also watches ESPN and sports with his father all the while pointing and saying fuuutbaww,,,or bassskbaww.... whether it is or not.
