I've heard from my children that it is time to update the Meet the Fam. After nearly 12 years of blogging, things have changed so much!
I am still from a small town and I met my sweetie when I was 17. We married a year later and just passed our 32nd wedding anniversary. We have 12 amazing children. We gave them all blog names when we started this journey because my sweetie was worried about exposing them to the world. After he saw how kind and supportive the blogging world is, he was fine with us putting up pictures and even sharing real names on occasion. But for all of you out there, it is so much easier to have a descriptive name to keep everyone straight.
I hesitate to add ages because they change so quickly, but as of June 2023, these ages are correct.
Bossy (age 38) is our oldest child and she is married to Gamer. They have 10 children, 3 from Gamer's previous relationships and 7 together. Their oldest daughters are in Texas and we rarely see them. Bean Dip (21) Taco (18) and Burrito (16), Skittles (5), Queso (2) and Carnitas (3 months) They have two tiny boys who are buried up the street in our hometown cemetery.
