INTRODUCTIONS!

Hello Everyone! 

Yes, another blogger spreading their 'awesome' events around the web! WOO HOO! ... yes, it's exciting, hush. haha. 

Let me introduce you to the horde.  

Me! - Mommy!
I have many names. Carrie. CJ. Carebear. ... 'wench' if you've pissed me off and are muttering under your breath as I walk away. haha. 
I am a Mother of 3 boys, married to my husband for going on 15 years now, and I am currently 31 years old. ... I think. .... hang on .... Yes. yeah. Sorry. After 21 it all kinda blurs together. 
Love pretty much EVERYTHING. Reading (nearly any genre). Music (also nearly every genre, but I have a specific love for boy bands...#BSBFOREVER!). Movies (most genres). Love arts, crafts, family time, event planning, learning. In love with my husband and then motorcycles. ... Don't have a motorcycle though.... LAME! #someday!

My husband - Eric. 
He doesn't really go by anything other than 'Eric' or 'Daddy', but his nicknames range from 'Sugar Goblin' to 'Riceman' or 'Rice'. He's the daddy of our 3 boys and married to my amazing self! ... .. Shh. No eye rolling there! He's about to turn 32 in several weeks. He loves video games, working, making money, tinkering with things, cooking, art, family time and vacations. Also rough housing with his children, and I have to remind them MANY times not to do this with their glasses on... (He and Bug)

My Oldest - Ryan. 
Ryan is ... well ... Ryan. He just turned 12 and is in the wonderful period of per-pubescence.  His diagnosis, as Baemax would put it - Puberty. 
We love him dearly, but he is absolutely complicated. He has an Autism Spectrum Disorder. By the time doctors around our area became using 'ASD' as a diagnosis, Ryan was old enough that we were handling his symptoms on our own, and he's so over the board that no one has a set 'place' to put him, category wise. He LOVES anything sparkly, anything purple, anything shiny. He's a Brony, loves video games, Legos, and believes that he should have been born a girl. He's very sensitive, very analytical at the most inconvenient times, and just generally loves everyone unless they are a major jerk to him. 

Our middle child - Ethan. 
He goes by 'Bug', and has finally allowed me to call him this in public, as he's not yelling at me for it every time now. He just turned 10, and he is a Daddy's boy through and through. Anything Eric loves, Ethan wants to love too. Video games and rough housing are his favorite things. He was our NICU baby. Not a preemie at all, but spent 6 weeks in the NICU when he was born and tried leaving this world a couple of times. Now he's healthy as can be. He's also the king of 'random' comments. You'll see that in future posts.

Our youngest (and last of 'our own') - Coulson buddy!
His name is Coulson. Cole for short, but we really only call him 'Coulson Buddy'. He is names after agent Phil Coulson. Yes, from Shield/Marvel. We love Agent Coulson. He's smart, funny, loyal, honorable. .. we also had no other names to use family wise so ... ... Coulson it is! 
He's just over a year old, and he's just hilarious. He's in the 'terrible twos' early, and throws tantrums like there is no tomorrow, but it's funny because if you just look at him with a raised brow, his squished tantrum face will realize that your not reacting and he'll just start laughing. He's such a freak. haha. He's also the biggest of the kids. Tallest and heaviest of the bunch, and his head is HUGE. 

Anyhow! 
There you have it. There is a horde. I am the den mother and Eric is the brood master who is clearly incapable of making girls. We call him the 'kingmaker' now. 

We'll be using this blog as a family journal of sorts, and posting MANY things on here. Comics we come up with, cause we have ideas for some. Recipes. Family fun moments and stories. 

Also, Eric and I are trying to lose weight, and it's awesome to be able to put the failures and the successes on a more wide scale and laugh and cry about them all with everyone. 

Stay tuned folks!
