Hi,

My name is Tracy. I've been married for 25 years to my true love Joe. It hasn't always been easy... in fact, it has been downright difficult at times. But, I can't imagine life without him!!  True love will last "Always & Forever"!!  We have 6 kids, a new daughter in law and an adorable grandson!

Our two oldest are prodigals... and prayers are deeply appreciated!!  Brittany is 24 and Joey is 20. His wife Beth is 19 and their adorable baby boy Logan is 1.

"THE FOUR"... Kyle 17, Ryan 16, Alyssa 12 and Katie 10. After our 2 older kids moved out... the younger kids became known as "The Four"!!!  They are my rock, my joy, my everything!!  I totally understand why God tells us to become like little children!!  I have learned more about God through "My Four" than any where, or anyone else!!!  Kyle is STRONG and speaks with authority. He has had a great influence on kids his age... or older!!  Ryan is an outstanding graphics artist, full of humor and just a sweetheart!! Alyssa... well she can do everything... she's a natural in the kitchen, she makes jewelry, fimo clay, anime drawings, scrapbooking... you name it, she does it!! Katie... the baby!!  Although she is sweet, young and tiny... sometimes I think she is the toughest of them all!!  Pure at heart and known to be found reading her Bible!!  They all sing like angels, the boys play electric guitars, Kyle also plays the drums and the girls are learning keyboard. One day... God willing... they will have a Christian Band of their own!!  :)

I'm originally a Cali beach bum... I now live and love the serene, gorgeous state of Oregon. We live in a forest... my girls have swings hanging from Pine Trees and my boys hike & fish... we love it!! :)

I have homeschooled for 20 years and am constantly learning the art of homemaking through the scriptures of Titus 2 and Proverbs 31.

I'm new to scrapbooking. My girls and I absolutely love it!! I must say that they have taught me much more than I have taught them!!

I have been inspired sooooo much by this site that I thought I would sign up.

Thanks to all of you who have greatly inspired me to 'journal' my family's lives!

My girls are also here at SB.com. Maybe you can stop by and say hi!
