The Saint Family

Well I have finally caved to the peer pressure and decided to start a blog. After all everyone else is doing it and all the kids are in bed and the hubby is on night shift so why not? I am hoping I can keep up on it enough to actually have some documentation of our everyday life to help preserve the little things that happen day to day that you can forget about so quickly. So with that said I guess I will just start with some introductions


I am Julie, a 26 year old stay at home mom with four kids. My husband Stephen and I have been married for a little over 6 years. As you can see if you do the math we got married very young, and it has been quite a journey growing up together as we raise our family. We truly do complete each other and we laugh at how we have changed over the years. Never would I have thought that my day could be totally made just by having someone take the garbage out lol ! Stephen works at a coal mine on the drag line crew. While having him working shift work does have some challenges I love that he only works 14 days a month. I think that I would hyperventilate if he ever had to get a job 5 days a week!



Gabriel is our oldest child and only boy. He is 6 and a half and by far our most serious child. It must be the oldest child syndrome because he really is 6 going on 25. He recently lost his first tooth and hoped that the tooth fairy would bring him 59 dollars so he could buy an Xbox game. I had to break it to him that as far as I knew the tooth fairy tops out at a couple of dollars :) He is trying to decide whether he wants to be a Marine or a Rancher when he grows up, but he needed some reassurance that he could live with me until he got a wife, because he needs someone to cook him dinner! Yes thats right, he is a male after all!

Sophie is 5 years old and our little mother hen. She is constantly helping with the little ones. She is truly my right hand gal! She is all about art, writing and reading. She is willing to try anything, go anywhere or tackle anything as long as it won't "take to long!" Which in Sophie's world is about 10 minutes. She is in Tae Kwon Do with her brother and will soon be testing for her gold belt which she is very proud of because her brother assured her she probably wouldn't get it until she was 6 like him!


Mary is going to be 3 next Sunday. She is also known as Spunky Punky. She is my happiest and most entergetic child. Always climbing on everything, into everything and loves to antagonize her older siblings. As you can see in the picture...example hording all the marshmellows on the mountain to make sure she gets her fair share! If you ask her to tell you a story, she can tell you one for hours!




Sara is our baby and will be two in May. She is just currently being a baby though we do have our moments when I see the impending doom of toddlerhood fast approaching. She really needs her sleeps still as you can see from the picture, she can sleep anywhere anytime! She loves to snuggle with anyone that will hold her and all of her treasures and loves animals.... much to our two dogs annoyance a lot of the time!

Well thats all for now, hopefully this whole blogging thing will come together we will have to see!
