The truth is my life isn't necessarily the most exciting but its special to me. I'm a stay at home Mom to one fabulously exhausting almost 8 year old son, Gavin. He is a 2nd grader, a math whiz, an avid video game player, lover of spy movies, cartoons, pizza & popcorn. He loves riding his bike and playing outside with his friends and even likes to help me around the house by sweeping, swiffering and windexing. He hates cleaning his room and usually ends up on the couch because its "more comfortable." He's always asking questions, no matter how many times I've said "oh buddy, I have no idea!" He likes to wear his old costumes around the house and has an inspiring imagination. He loves me even when I'm the mean Mom and still likes to hold my hand when we walk into the grocery store (although its usually followed with a request for candy or a cookie)!
Gavin, light of my life! <3
He was the ring bearer in our wedding. My handsome little guy, always the life of the party!
I'm married to an incredible man, Ricky...who has always allowed me to be myself even when that person is a little crazy. He is the high to my low! I would say the best thing about my husband is his insane ability to know exactly what I need and when I need it. Help, space, a shoulder to cry on, a night off from our routine, whatever it is...he gets it. We've been together almost 7 years now (wow!) and just got married this past June in beautiful Rincon, Puerto Rico!
My handsome husband, Ricky & I on our wedding day!

What about me, you might be asking (or maybe not)? I'm Beth...29 years old, born and raised in the great state of Kansas but now residing as a Floridian (for the past 9 years). I enjoy the simple things in life and my life truly revolves around my boys, my house and my furbabies. I'm an animal lover, with 3 cats; Cosmo, Emma, and Joe and a German Shepherd, Zeus. I love to cook, but only when I have the creative license to make a recipe my own. For example, I can't be bothered to make Hamburger Helper, but I love to make biscuits, or pesto, or pasta from scratch! I live for comfort food. Being married to Ricky has broadened my horizons to some amazing Puerto Rican dishes as well! I collect antique cameras and German Shepherd trinkets. I love to read but never have the time so when I find a good book I generally won't put it down until its finished because I know it will be awhile before I pick it back up! I'm an Auntie to 2 beautiful nieces, Emerson & Madeline...daughters of my only (younger) brother, Greg. I'm also the Godmommy of 2 more beautiful girls, Destinee & Ariel...so as you can tell, my cup runneth over.
Our Zeus. He will be 5 years old this Tuesday and we've had him since he was a 2 mo. old puppy. Shepherds are GREAT family dogs!
Joey, our "baby." He's only 2 years old & was supposed to be Ricky's cat since they picked each other at the adoption office...but he's careful with his affection and likes me more. ;)
Cosmo, MY cat. I got him when Gavin was a newborn. He's been with me through alot in the past 8 years. He's definitely my cat, a snuggler, likes to sleep by my head, fiesty but gentle.
Ah, the prissy cat, Emma Bella. She doesn't know that's her name because we only mostly refer to her as *Pretty Girl.* I saved her from becoming a stray and she's been around almost as long as Cosmo. She's the outspoken cat, always meowing and purring. Loves to be under blankets. Fat cat who loooves to eat.
My nieces, Emerson (Emma) and new baby, Madeline (born 11-20-12).
My first blessing, my oldest Goddaughter, Destinee Marie. She's so intelligent, polite, helpful, kind, considerate, mature & just wonderful in general!
My beautiful Goddaughter, Ariel. She's so sweet, kind, soft spoken, and gentle. There's something unique about her...she has a zest and a spark for life that makes everything sunny!
So that's it. A little background about me, my life, my boys, my parents, my pets, & my girls.
