Hi!

Hi!
Thank you so much for stopping by!
 
We’re just your ordinary family living with some not so ordinary situations.
 
There are 7 of us and that alone seems to rally some odd responses. O_O

Some days we feel normal and boring and other days we feel like no one could possibly comprehend how un-normal it is around here!!

So who’s writing this blog?  I’m Shannon, aka, wife, mom, mommy, mommommommommom, mooooooooooom mutherrrrrrr, and sometimes Shannon. Indeed.

The Hubs is Carlos, he’s been my hubs for 22 years soooo ya. High fives for us!! <3
The kiddos are: Oldest sis Alexia, who is married! (I’m not reeeallllly that old am I?! no, don’t answer that!) She has two sweet step daughters so I have also earned the Gramma title! 
Oldest Bro is CJ who is livin’ the college life, aka, hungry and poor and shows up when he’s out of clean clothes.
Middle Sis is Michelle, aka Shellers, ShellBell, Shell, Woman (usually when she uses the last of my chocolate milk mix) and Boo when I want to bug her.
Little Bro is Robby, aka: Scooter King, Robster, Robbykins, and an occasional Roberrrrt (usually when he uses ice cubes under his shoes to slide across the kitchen and doesn’t dry the floor.)

No, I didn’t forget littlest sis! Although all our kiddos are super awesomesauce and could provide plenty of blog material, stories and lessons, Stacey is the one who has taught us a new normal and many of the lessons shared here.

This family venture of a blog will tell her story, (posts are #'d so start here) share tips for encountering special needs families, tips for those living a new normal of their own and insight to our life in effort to encourage you and relate to you. Some will be hilarious, some will be tear jerking and some might be boring. But that’s how life is right? We are also doing a new program with Stacey and hope to share some of it and some of her progress here too.

Soooo that’s us in a nutshell. Which is fitting because we really are nuts.

I’d love to hear from you! Let me know what brought you here and thank you so much for being here!
