A brief overview

Here is a brief overview of our family....


Adam was born in Seattle, WA. He moved around quite a bit growing up due to his dad being in the coast guard. They finally settled down in Sellersburg, IN. He graduated from New Albany High School in 2003. He graduated with his bachelors degree in business in May 2011. He is currently working at Mercer Human Resource Consulting.

I (Beth) was born in Salt Lake City. I lived in Modesto, CA until I was about 9, then moved out to Radcliff, KY when my dad got a new job at FT. Knox. I graduated from John Hardin High School in 2004. I've been working at Feeders Supply Pet store since April 2007.

Adam and I met at a youth dance when he was 16 and I was 15. We continued talking off and on for those years and began seriously dating in Aug. 2005. We were engaged in Oct. 2005 and got married on July 28, 2006.

In January of 2008, I got pregnant. After about 2 weeks of being extremely sick, I ended up in the ER due to dehydration. And then again 3 days later. With as sick as I was, they decided to admit me and keep me overnight for observation. The next morning they did an ultrasound to see if there was a reason I was so sick. There was......

TWINS!!!!



On Sept 5, 2008, Tavin Paul and Riley Sophia were born. Tavin was 5 lbs 6 1/2 oz. and 19 in long. Riley was 5 lbs 9 1/2 oz and 18 in long. Riley had to stay in the nursery under observation the entire time we were at the hospital due to having breathing problems. Once we got home, things got interesting. Adam had to go back to school and I was at home with 2 tiny babies. Luckily my mom was able to come and stay with us during the week to help out. As time went on, she didn't have to stay with us quite as long during the week, but she still came to watch them during the days that I had to work.

We had a lot of fun over the first couple years, and then decided to add to our family. In Oct. 2010 we found out we were pregnant with baby #3. As luck would have it, I got sick....again. Luckily the worst of it was done after the first couple of months, and then it was manageable.

During my pregnancy, we also decided to take our first family vacation. We took the twins to Gatlinburg, TN. We met up with Adam's sister Rebekah, her husband, and their son Andrew. We had fun with the kids taking them into Gatlinburg, and we took them to Ripley's Aquarium. They had the best time in the pool. We also took them to the Knoxville zoo. They had so much fun petting the goats and brushing them.

On June 29, 2011 (5 days past his due date) Hunter Thomas entered the world. He was 8 lbs 10.5 oz and 22 in long. Tavin and Riley had been very excited to meet him. They had been talking for months about how they loved him and wanted to play with him. He is a great addition to our family.

So for now, this is our family.....
