This is Kirsten, my beautiful soon-to-be Step Daughter. She is 13 going on far-too-old-for-her-fathers-liking. She enjoys cheerleading, taking pictures, animals and cleaning (yes, and we love her for it!). She is one of the most responsible teenagers I have ever met and we are incredibly proud of her!
This is Adam, thank goodness for him or Frank would be sick of all us girls! Adam is 11 and enjoys playing football, soccer, basketball, hockey, golf, (probably any other sport you can think of), and video games. He is spunky and quite funny! He reminds me so much of Frank that it melts my heart :)
This is Taelyn or Tae. She is 2 but talks more then most 16 year old girls! Her favorite things? The cats, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, the cats, baking, taking walks and the cats. She is independent yet wants to be involved in everything. 
This is Jolena or Jo or JoJo Beans! She is 9 months old and her favorite things are food, the fuzzy things that walk around JUST out of her reach, crawling, standing, spitting (ew) and making as much noise as possible. She has her 2 bottom teeth and says Dada but that's about it so far.
Now on to the fuzzy children...
This is Lukin, Luke, Lukie, Lukers etc. He was my first baby and still is the neediest. He talks to everyone, no really, he meows at you to get your attention and if you meow back you can carry on a conversation with him. He is fascinated with water (hello sitting in the sink!) and loves to snuggle. 
This is Fenway, my second baby. He is the fuzziest of them all and we sometimes feel sorry for him because that is a lot of fur to clean! Fenway and Adam are best buds but when Adam isn't home he can often be found sleeping somewhere by himself or with Rigby. He is at the top of the kitten totem pole and likes it that way. This picture is classic Fenway!
This is Rigby, my third baby! Rigby, Rigahines or Rigahina is a shy, chubby cat (although this picture is quite slimming - don't you think?). We call him and Fenway our old men because they aren't much for socializing with the rest of the gang. Rigby will lick your eyelids if you fall asleep in front of him, he is a freak :)
This is Ruby, our special girl. Kirsten called us in June of last year telling us that her Aunt had found a stray cat and her 4 kittens and she, of course, wanted to keep one of the kittens. They were far too young to be taken from their Mother so we agreed to take them all home and adopt out the Mother and 3 of the kittens. Then we met Momma kitty, then we named Momma kitty Ruby, then Frank fell in love with Ruby and then Ruby fell in love with us and the rest is history. Rubers is our slightly frustrating cat, she loves us but tends to grumble at the big cats just because. I guess surviving in the wild with 4 kittens made her a tough girl :) She is beautiful and incredibly snuggly. She will sit on my lap for hours rubbing her face on mine, she has definitely become my little princess!
That little black kitty right there, see her? That's Momo, Ruby's kitten. She was the only all black kitten, the others were black and white, and Kirsten fell in love with her and how spunky and tiny she was. Momo (her "real" name is Maureen but we never call her that, she is Momo, Momes or Momee to the people in the know...) will always be our tiny, petite little kitty.
This little man is Rio. He is named after Ocho Rios in Jamaica! Rio is Tae's kitty, her "Rio baaaabaaaay". He might be the most loving kitten I have ever met. He is attached to my hip, if I sit or even lean down for anything he is on my lap. He loves blankets and will kneed and suck on a blanket for hours (also a freak). He was quite content being the baby until Nacho came along...
This is our last furry addition to the family for a long time, and I mean it this time. This is Nacho. I took the kids to the pet store a few weeks ago to replace our carnival fish that had died and somehow got talked into adopting this cute face instead of a slimy fish... Nacho is our little peanut and wild man. He was named after Nacho Libre although I don't think anyone of us have actually seen the movie. He has some awesome tiger patches on his white fur and it looks like he is wearing a cape. Nacho is the only cat who does not like the dogs, but give him a little time!
This is Willis (red) and Lily (white). Let's start with Willis. Frank got Willis when she was just a puppy, she is a mix of Lab, Shepherd and Doberman. Willis might be the smartest dog alive, but in a sometimes-bad way. She knows everything. She knows when she has done something wrong, she knows when we are going to leave, she knows when the cats are somewhere that she can pester them, she knows how to be a pain in the butt. But because of this we also know just how much she loves us and she makes us feel like good puppy parents every day. Lily is basically the complete opposite. Lily is an English lab that I got from a breeder about 2 hours from our house. She was my first dog and therefore I spoiled the crap out of her. Lily is the epitome of a lab, goofy, wild, easily excitable and she just loves life. She is excited about everything and everyone and that leaf blowing across the yard and treat that you might just possibly give her if she begs hard enough. But really, you can't talk about one dog without the other. Willis was two and a half and Lily was under a year when they became a couple (and I mean that in a slightly disgusting, our dogs really love each other, way). That was a year and a half ago and now they are inseparable. But you must factor in the 3rd fuzzy in this love triangle, Momo (little black kitty pictured above). Momo and Lily also love each other. Momo sits outside Lily's crate all day, but she prefers to go in the crate with Lily so they can snuggle. It's adorable yet slightly strange! The proof is in the pudding my friends (or in this case... this picture):
Last but not least, and especially not fuzzy, is our bearded dragon, Carlos. Carlos is Adam's dragon but we all find him ridiculously fascinating. I never thought I would like any sort of lizard but Carlos is one cool dude.So that (in a nutshell) is our family. There will be a pop quiz soon so make sure you have everyone down! As for the name of this blog? Well we have 4 kids, 7 cats, 2 dogs and a bearded dragon. It may seem like pandemonium to some, but its perfect for us!
