Well, normally I am not one to write a blog as I am scared to let people into my life and be judged for my ways as in the past and present. We are a family of 6 unless you count our 2 lovely hermit crabs which would make us a house of 8! All of us except the hermit crabs Peterbuilt and Eyeball start with an A!!
This is my husband Andrew and myself (Angel). We went to high school together but didn't talk to much. We got together April 14th, 2008 after his second deployment to Iraq with the USMC. I am 26yrs old going on 27 and yes we have 4 kids and yes he is younger than me by 9mths.
We were married October 19th, 2009 in a courthouse and yes I was pregnant with our 2nd child and due in a few weeks! No, I did not have the wedding of my dream but it was with the man of my dreams.
This is our oldest daughter Aaliyah who is 6yrs old!!! Aaliyah turns 7 on April 21st and loves Zebra print stuff. She is our girlie girl and loves to model for boutiques on facebook while hoping one day to go big. I am willing to back up this dream of hers! Aaliyah loves sports and we let her play as many as she chooses, she is a great student and is ready to go to 2nd grade. However, being the oldest she does have chores and is held to do them otherwise she will not do sports or modeling as those are not what life is all about.
Next, is our second oldest Amilliyah who happens to be 3yrs old. She turns 4 October 30th. Yes, I know pretty big gap there or small to some. However, I had plenty of complications with her pregnancy and her birth but she is worth it all. Many wouldn't have another one after not remembering the birth but her smile and goofiness keeps me going. Yes, like most kids she can be a handful by not listening as she has the "I'll do what I want when I want to" attitude. Although, she is your typical 3yr old she does model for boutiques on facebook and loves doing it as she says she gets to dress up and take pictures by mommy :D. Amilliyah is one of a kind and we find out March 1st if she gets accepted into prek. She doesn't talk very much and she has to be on the same schedule daily or it throws her way off!!!
Adriyahna our lovely 19mth old. She will be turning 2 on July 17th!!! I cannot wait to have her party either as I love planning them and photographing them! Adriyahna is your semi-typical 19mth old by getting into just about everything and throwing her tantrums. Although, some say that she is advanced with talking and going potty. She is saying 2-5 word sentences and is potty training herself throughout the day. She also models for boutiques on facebook and loves being able to. No, I do not push potty training, no I do not make her wear underwear, and no I do not punish her for having accidents! I think I covered all those normal questions!!!
Our youngest bundle of joy that joined us Jan 2, 2013 would be Alyson! She is a very good baby and happily exclusively breastfed. As of today at her 2mth appointment she is very healthy weighing exactly 12 lbs(76th percentile), measuring 23in long(83rd percentile), and her head circumference is 15in(54th percentile). She is the first one of our children that we have not heard "she is too skinny". She is currently clothed diapered and will be all the way up until she is potty trained. She too models for boutiques on facebook.
Yes, my kids are close in age.
Yes, I know how they are made.
NO, I will not get fixed and neither will Andrew! We do not believe in it for ourselves so don't even ask or mention it as you already know the answer.
Yes, we have talked about a couple more but will not go over 6 unless God has other plans for us.
I currently am enrolled in college full time online at Grand Canyon University working towards my Bachelor's in Elementary Education with an Emphasis in Special Needs. I have already obtained my Associates degree in Early Childhood Education through Kaplan University Online. I am a stay at home mom of all my children and live in the country. I also am starting my own photography business but am not charging until I feel comfortable. Right now it is only on facebook under A.M.Wilkin Photography or you can check out the kids page A" Bunch of Beauties
I love the fact of having 4 kids and would love to add more but as of right now I am on a 3yr plan called Nexplanon as we have talked about trying in 3-5yrs to try to get people off our backs of how many kids we have and how close in age they are. I really am not one to be outspoken but I do believe that it is my body, my choice, and his choice to agree whether we have another or not. Also, God is the one who chooses if we have anymore with or without me on birth control.
Well, I am off for now but will be back later. I will leave you with my 4 beautiful daughters!!! Much love
