I don’t know that you could call us your “average” family, but from what I can see we are normal.  Lacey and I started rather young with children. We were 19 and 20 when we got married and had our first child Jimmy 9 months to the day of our wedding (he was 2 weeks early, I swear). Not long after that Kelsy came around. Then we welcomed Amanda (Lacey’s niece) when she was only 10, and raised her as well. If that wasn’t enough we had 2 more kids after that, Jacob and Sam.

I am happy to say that we are the proud parents of 4 great kids and 1 great adult, and still get carded when we go out   Life is crazy, hectic, and completely insane, but the doctor says the blank stare and drool will pass.
