Andy and Ashley

Ohio State Fair-2006

Stylin!

This was taken in Cheyenne a few days after I met them the first time-I was never more nervous to meet someone in ALL my life! My how they have changed!

Definitely a Daddy's boy!

She is a GREAT big sister!

Binky brothers!

Ashley just a few moments after seeing her room for the first time!

This is over 2 years old, but it is one of my favorite pictures of Ashley.

Andy and Taren before Homecoming-he is gougeous and he knows it!

My step kids are quite amazing to say the least. I am blessed with the fact that I truly love them and they truly love me-no joke. They are both hilarious is different ways and total hams. We talk to both of them several times a week, but it is so hard not having them here. Ashley really misses her little brother and is very excited to see him in just a few weeks. When we bought the house I made sure that we had more than enough room for them so they both had a finished bedroom when they came for the summer. Somehow we managed to keep the house a secret so pulling into the driveway with them was totally fun. Once the next little Rodriguez arrives we will finish the basement for Andy and move the baby into his room.

I was so nervous to meet them considering I was head over heels in love with Alex and pretty much knew that I needed their support in order for us to stay together. We really did get along from the very beginning. I love them very much and miss having them here terribly. When they get here it feels like they never left and when they leave we are all lost. It takes a while for us to adjust-even Abbie looks around for them. Even though they aren't here they are still so much a part of our life everyday. Andy and Ashley is you read them...I love you pookie pookie poo...love The WICKEDEST OF THEM ALL!
