Jason & Jaime:
Jason and I met in Feb. 2004 while I was in my senior year of college at the Univ. of Redlands. We sat together at the college group of his church and hit it off. We hung out at Sea World in San Diego, CA for our first outting as friends. We call it our "shoulda-woulda-but-it-wasn't-date". A week later he asked to date me. I made him call my dad and ask for permission - a man he'd never spoken to - to ensure his heart and intentions. We dated until November 27th, 2004 which is when he proposed to me at our picnic spot at Sea World. We were married July 8th, 2005 and moved from So. California to Spring, TX the weekend after our honeymoon. It's been a whirlwind, but a blessed one. I can't imagine going through life - my life - with anyone else. We complement each other and no matter how crazy "life" gets, we remind each other that God has given us each other to raise our four kids to be strong in their faith.
Joshua:
Six months after we were married, we discovered we were expecting our first child. Talk about not knowing what to do! A new marriage and now a baby too?! We were blessed with our tender-hearted, compassionate, smart, little warrior - Joshua Eric on September 15th, 2006. He is the leader of the pack and is the best little blessing a parent could ask for. He's our helper, our problem-solver, and our engineer. He's also mommy's "cuddle-bug".
Jenna:
While navigating through being a new parent and still a relatively newly married couple, we discovered we were expecting our second blessing - Jenna-girl. Jenna Elizabeth was born on December 1st, 2007 and has been inseperable with her big brother, Joshua. Jenna is our creative, energetic, lovable little princess. She's the tom-boy, girly-girl, little reader that we prayed for.
Julianna:
Although we were content with two, God blessed us with three on April 1st, 2009. Julianna Faith has been our step of faith and the beginning of our journey of not relying on ourselves, but on God for guidance for our family. Julianna is our silly, sweet, smiley girl. She's the apple of her daddy's eye and follows her big brother and sister's every move.
Jayden:
Following a surprise ectopic pregnancy in October of 2009, we were blessed with our last little member of our family - Jayden Christopher. We knew God had one last little boy for us to make our family complete. Joshua prayed every night for his little brother. He had so much faith in that he even told the solographer at our very first ultrasound that the baby was a boy. We welcomed Jayden Christopher on November 16th, 2010. Jayden is our smiley little guy, who loves his big brother and already recognizes his voice. he's a sweet, complacent, cuddly baby that makes our family complete.
