Since you learned alittle about me, I would like to tell you a bit about my family that is so dear to me. I have been married to Bob (bead making husband) since 1989. He works fulltime with explosives in a rock quarry and part time lampworker only selling his beads occassionally now at  ebay id: justleonardo.  I guess playing with fire just wasn't enough :) He is one of those guys that is very funny (dry humor) and loves to play jokes and tricks on people.

 We have 3 teenagers, Brock (19), Erica (17) and Braden (16).  All of them are just wonderful kids, each in their own way. I am so blessed to be a mom and to be able to stay home with them.....maybe someday they will appreciate it. Not much to get away with at our house :) Brock enjoys his hanging out with his friends and works very hard on  making his hair perfect.  Erica is into her social life, boyfriend and cell phone. Braden on the other hand is our jock. He loves wrestling, track, soccer and just about any sport and works at Taco Bell.

We really love animals. Sadie is 12 and is in very good shape for her age. We take daily walks in the woods where she enjoys all the wildlife smells and being in nature. The 2 outside cats, Blondie and Big Boy walk with us when they are around. Our other Dane, Sledge passed on a couple years ago and is greatly missed. He had health issues from day 1 but made it to the age of 9 with Bob's continual care of him and the family's support.

As a family we enjoy eating at India Garden and various international style restaurants. Our favorite trips are those to the beach where we can just chill ...just us as a family.

Here is one of our recent family pictures taken in November of 2006. As you can see my hair changes often :)
