Memorial Day 2012

For Memorial Day we traveled to Katy, Texas which is about 45 minutes from where we live. We visited with Thomas's brother, wife and kids. Thomas's parents were visiting as well. We spent the afternoon swimming and eating good food. Rachel and Haley enjoyed the pool. Rachel enjoyed the pool much better than last summer. Rachel was so scared of being in a pool a year ago. Haley loves water and had a good time splashing. Little Kayla had her first time in the pool. She was a little scared and cried at first, but then got used to it and did just fine. She enjoyed watching everyone and seeing what was going on. Our Memorial day was good and we enjoyed spending time with family.

About Us

Thomas and I were married in January 2007 in Houston, Texas. About 8 months later, we were excited to start a family. After a diagnosis of infertility due to PCOS and endometriosis, we were devastated. With the help of infertility treatments we were blessed with twin boys (Brian and Brendan), but unfortunately lost them at 18 weeks due to an incompetent cervix. Unwilling to give up on our dream to have a family, we tried again, but our second try resulted in an ectopic pregnancy. On our third try we were surprisingly expecting sextuplets. On August 4, 2009 at 22 weeks 6 days, we welcomed 4 girls and 2 boys - Haley, Braden, Dallin, Ashlyn, Rachel and Kaitlyn. Our sweet angels Braden, Dallin, Ashlyn and Kaitlyn passed away and returned to our loving Heavenly Father. We have been so blessed to have Haley and Rachel at home with us. They have been home from the NICU since February 2010. They are doing well and growing. They are miracles! We love them and have been so blessed!

We have been so blessed to have added another miracle baby to our family. Kayla was born December 9, 2011. She was born at 36 weeks, 5 days. She is a precious miracle and we are so glad she joined our family.

Our last little miracle, Brandon Thomas joined our family on December 14, 2015. He was born at 36 weeks, 5 days. He was 9 pounds, 7 oz (big boy)! He has spina bifida, but he is doing well. He is such a happy boy!! We love our little boy and are so blessed to have him in our family.
