Our New Home

When we were picking our new home there were only two things we cared about.
Size and Schools.
So when we found a home twice the size of our old one and in the school district we wanted we jumped at it!
Really, we didn't have much choice. The price and size was right and we were on a time crunch.
So we got kinda of a "Fixer-Upper".
A real BIG "Fixer-Upper".

First time to open "Our" door!

Let the "Fixing-Up begin!

Our Family

Amanda & Stephen
Stephen is a Houston Firefighter/EMT. I'm disabled and that lets me be a full time mom, zoo keeper, brat wrangler, sock finder, referee, band-aid applier, lunch maker, janitor and pretty much the only one who knows what is going on around here.

Sidney
Sidney is our oldest son. When he is not too busy become a moody teenager he loves golfing, photography, Legos, Ju Jitsu, archery and being embarrassed by his family.

Cash
Cash, is the real "character" of the group. He has been OBSESSED with SKELETONS as long as any one can remember. He is known for dressing up as a skeleton ALL YEAR ROUND. Halloween and Day of The Dead are his two favorite holidays (of course!).

We are all big animal loves! So we share our home with lots of pets!

Samson & Booga
Samson is Sid's cat and Booga is Cash's.

Lola
Lola maybe the family's dog, but she is Cash's best friend!

T-Bone
He is the baby of the family

Hurricane Ike

On September 12th Hurricane Ike hit our small Alvin home.


We lost the roof to our long time home while we we under it.

Taking it from this:

To this:


And the pile of damaged things in the yard just kept growing...


And growing...


At that time I’m sure that we felt like we had survived the worse of it Little did we know that we worse was yet to come!
