Welcome to the Rogers family neighborhood/blogspot! I have been debating for awhile now whether or not to join the craze everyone calls FaceBook (or FB as my friend Jenny put it...yes I had to ask what FB stood for)! I am a bit behind the times and really don't care! That is...until my 90 year old patient tells me I need to get her laptop up to the hospital so she can see what all her friends are up to at the retirement center...then I feel like the only person on the planet not joining in on the fun!!
I want to be clear and let everyone know I am not knocking the cult I am just simply choosing to go against the grain! I don't think you all want to know every minute of my day and quite frankly I DON'T HAVE THE TIME!!!! For those of you that don't know...I have 3 children and two are under the age of 2! So...I feel my children are more entertaining then the average post I could provide for you on FaceBook! Therefore I have chosen the spot that allows me to be a bit more verbose and will also keep a nice record of my children as they grow, marriage ups & downs (all in good humor of course!), and life as the Rogers clan knows it! I hope you enjoy our life stories and hopefully we can give you a laugh in a time of need!
And now for a little introduction into the wild family that has increased the Lone Star State population by 5 (read on at your own risk):
Matt or Matthew as I will call him is the man of the roost! He is quiet and evenly tempered...quite the polar opposite of his lovely wife (what are you laughing at)!!! He is unique in a way of no other person I have ever met. Every wife likes to say she has a handy man...but I literally have what most consider a renaissance man. He is the type of man that wakes up one morning and decides...hey I think I will learn how to build myself a computer from scratch...and by the end of the day we have a computer that works better than any Apple/Bill Gates Brain! Or maybe he will decide he wants to learn how to play a song he heard on the radio...he will listen to it, at most 5 times, and then play it on the guitar, piano, drums, and Bag Pipes in a matter of minutes...all by ear no sheet music what so ever. To sum it up, I pretty much pimp him out for motor/vehicle repairs, house maintenance/re-build, baby-sitting, and electronic repairs to up my popularity! Just kidding...in all sincerity, I love him more than all the stars and am thankful I never have to pay the big dollars for repairs of any kind!
Me, Myself, and I....I don't talk about myself so don't expect anything clever!!!
Halle or should we say Hallelujah is the oldest of three children!!! She is by far the best kid I have ever met and I promise I am not being bias! She has a heart unlike any I have ever come across. She will love you the minute you say hello! The only time this hinders healthy growth is when it comes to competitive sports...she is the type of kid that feels bad if she is winning and will stop mid competition to make sure no ones feelings are hurt! Trust me...we are working on that...and most would not guess this about me but I am actually able to bite my tongue in this matter! I feel most people would figure me to be a yeller (never)...but I am strangely encouraging and very quiet at all of her sporting events! I doubt it has anything to do with having a mother of my own, scaring me for life, when yelling at me to pull my head out of my @$$ during, not most but all, of my sporting events! Definitely no issues!!! Back to Halle girl...She is not only kind hearted but smart and beautiful as well...the whole package! Yes, Matthew is very well prepared to manage/use firearms during her teenage years...we go to the firing range once a week! She is like most kids in the matter of the need to be outside burning energy and to have social interaction with children her age. She is unlike most kids in the matter of expressing her self through fashion (at times I understand but most of the time I at least fix her hair to attempt some normalcy) and eating every kind of raw vegetable (I am talkin broccoli and cauliflower) over candy! To say the least, we do not know what we would do without our wonderful Halle girl.
Averie or AV as we call her has no words to really describe her...she is what she is...you will just have to meet her! At this point in her life she is a bit small for her age...but don't let size fool you! She is a spitfire rockin a glorified mullet not havin one care in the world. However, she do have one crazy sweet tooth! Wonder where she gets that from! For instance...we have a pantry with the sugar snacks on the top self (top shelf of 6). As you read above (Halle and her veggies) I have not dealt with the kind of kid that craves sugar...I have always been able to talk my way out of sugary snacks until now! I will say no and the next thing I know she is eating the candy! I of course blame Halle and tell her to stop given Averie the candy. Halle clams she didn't do it so I blame Matt and remind him what time of night it is and that Averie should not be getting candy. He states it wasn't him and at this point Averie is laughing in my face at my frustration. So with more investigation I find that the little monkey is climbing, remind you she is 2, to the top shelf grabbing her candy and putting it in her mouth for the climb back down! You can not help but be proud of the lack of fear...but worry about the future things she will be climbing (like the radio tower her dad used to climb)! Aside from the candy...she is a mover and a groover! Anything with a beat and this girl will bust a move...she doesn't care who is lookin! Closing her eyes, hands in the air, bouncing at the knees, and hair swaying in her breeze! Again, it is something you have to see for yourself! AV is one in a trillion and we expect great things!
Now last but not least...Little Man Jaxon or J-Man! He has helped with dropping the estrogen level for Matthew! He has a smile worth a million bucks and eyes to melt the hardest of hearts. He is all boy 100%...eating us out of house and home and burnin a hole in the ozone at the same time! He is mischievous and sweet wrapped in one little chubby bundle! He entertains himself and only loses his good ol Irish temper when he feels we have neglected his eating/sleeping routine...which with eating it is about every 30 minutes! It is new territory after two girls...but we welcome the challenge!
We Welcome You To Our Neighborhood...
