Meet The Family

Dancing Girl thinks I should refer to myself as Crazy Little Mommy, but I'll stick with my real name, Alicia.  I'm mommy to two crazy wonderful little kids (you'll learn more about them in a minute) and wife to my handsome Marine (We'll call him Bruce).  I was born and raised in a small town in the South Carolina foothills, but we are now living in Southern California, thanks to the Marine Corps.  I love Jesus, baking, attempting to sew, and hate running. Anyway, you don't want to know about me. More about the interesting people in our family.

Ignore that Messy Boy isn't smiling. He really does like us.

Life is a musical with  Dancing Girl in our lives. She is learning to roller skate and breaks into a motivational little ditty about how she can do it if she only believes in herself. Then, all the stuffed animals pull on their skates and start doing triple jumps while a disco ball drops down from the kitchen ceiling.  Okay, so the stuffed animals don't skate, but Dancing Girl really does make up a song and dance about everything she does.

Dancing Girl will be five soon, and is our sweet but shy, intelligent, witty, and loving little perfectionist.  She's the one that makes us look like we're good parents who have it all figured out.

Then, there's Messy Boy. He made us realize we don't have a clue what we're doing.  We decided a few months ago Messy Boy would be his superhero persona. Villains would be so busy cleaning up his messes that they wouldn't have time to commit any crimes. It's a standing joke in our family that we have to run behind him catching toys, books, and china plates as he throws them backwards.  Except that it's not a funny joke because it's the truth.  Seriously, this kid may only be two, but he can tear up the house like a group of frat boys.

Although there are times (a lot of times) when it seems he walks around just looking to get into trouble, Messy Boy is also the most loving little guy around. He's adventurous (Stop climbing the bookshelf!), funny,  smart, and he gives the best hugs.

Don't let this cute face fool you...he's trouble.

So, there you go.  That's our crazy family.  I can't wait to start sharing more of our crazy adventures with you.
