Adopted at the young age of five weeks old from Spokane, WA. I lived in Yakima
until I was eight years old. My family moved to Edmonds, WA in 1972. Most of my
growing up years was spent there, going to school, hanging out at Edmonds beach,
a lot of great memories! In the spring of 1992, I moved to Smokey Point where I
have lived ever since. I am a full-time mother of two children. I also
work full-time as a Paraeducator.
"Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing is like shoveling the
walk before it stops snowing."

Phyllis Diller
The little social butterfly of the family. At school, Ashley's involved in
choir and other social events. When she's not in the social mood, she
enjoys relaxing at home watching movies or hanging with her friends.
The rough and tumble boy of the family. At school, Taylor's involved in
many activities and loves to play baseball, football and basketball. At
home, he's more into plugging in and tuning out.
Luke joined our family about a year ago and he may have a rough exterior, but he
has a very big heart!!
Ashley's
favorite kitty cat! Acquired from her good friend Kenzie.
Margaret 2005-
Our most
recent kitty cat, adopted from NOAH. She's a short haired version
of Fat Cat.

Pets-Lost but not Forgotten
Shadow 1986-2001
Adopted from
PAWS at the young age of five, this wonderful and sometimes feisty cat will
be greatly missed. Shadow passed away from kidney failure, she was
fifteen.
Sparky 1996-2006
Adopted from a local
pet store, this fluffy Pomeranian, believed he was one tough Rottweiler.
He will be greatly missed.
Speedie 1998-2000
Another animal acquired from a neighbor. The kids named him Speedie
because he's a fast little kitty cat. Sadly, he was just a little too
fast. He sped out the front door one day and we haven't seen him since.
Fred 1997-
Acquired from a neighbor, this rambunctious nine year old miniature Dachshund
sometimes acts more like a cat than a dog.
Denali 1998-
Adopted from a local animal shelter, this beautiful eight year old
Shepherd mix is the most loving and sweetest dog on the planet.
Morina Alison 2004-
After Speedie
disappeared, things just weren't the same. So, as a 40th birthday
present to myself, I acquired Morina from a wonderful family from
school.
The best inheritance a parent can give
his children is a few minutes of his time each day.
