up and running

Well this is our first posting and we are trying to get up and running and will soon be putting some pictures on our blog but as of now we are lucky to get this far. Our family consists of 8 of us. Dan, Polly, D.J., Alex. Nikieshia, Braxton, Tristen and Dakota. We are the typical family trying to get through the typical life. football. dance, mutual and Dan's new job.
Dan and I are about to celebrate our 16th wedding anniversary. Can't believe how fast time flies. and how fast kids grow. DJ and Alex are both bigger than us and that is hard to accept but are grateful that they did exceed the height trial in our family. Dan and I are both pretty short at 5'4. We always hoped they would be taller than us and they have!
I will try and have the kids post some updates as well so you can see how things are going in our house from different perspectives. so look forward to further updates and follow us through our journey.
