My Honey and Me


My Superman

So how it all got started.... well that is too long of a story, but look at him... his smile says it all. I couldn't sing enough praises about my husband. He is my superman and the best daddy my kids could have ever asked for. He is the hardest worker I know (besides my own daddy) and he still makes time when he comes home to make our family feel like top priority. Sometimes I like to brag and say "Man, I have good taste" , but I know God must have hand-picked him for me because I am not that good.


"US"
This is an early 'Us'. I think right before we got engaged. We were down in the Ozarks enjoying what would be one of the last times we went on vacation 'just the two of us'. We still get our time away because we both have amazing parents, but this was at least a week long trip and that just doesn't happen anymore without little ones. To be quite honest, I don't know if we would even be able to handle a week without kids. You just get use to having them around! :)


Here is another 'early us'. I just can't get over his smile! That could make anyones day! We were out with our friends that night enjoying the company. I am a pretty lucky gal.

The Kids

This is my Matthew. The newest addition to the Mercer crew. He is 18 months now and the strongest reminder that our family really wasn't complete without him. In this picture he was only 7 months old or so, but I couldn't resist showing off the hat. He won't keep it on for a second now a days!







Mikey boy! My middle child. What a boy! Don't let the innocent look fool you! He is the one that keeps me on my toes. He is 5 and will be starting Kindergarten this August. Anything involving running, punching, or cool sound effects is right up his alley. Lately, the computer has really caught his attention and the cartoon 'Ben 10'. He is now convinced that he can be an alien fighting super-hero when he grows up. Who am I to contend that???





My precious girl, Allie. She is truly my dancing queen (note the dance clothes). She will be turning '13' this year! OMG! You might be thinking... 'wow, good luck with that' but she is such an angel. Not that there isn't a bit of attitude that goes on, but for the most part, I couldn't be more proud. Straight A's, nice friends, good attitude, and most importantly she still thinks I'm cool!
