Intro my family

    Hi, my name is Jessica, but mostly I am referred to as Jessie by friends and my family. My fiancé's name is Keith. Together in our home we have five children. For here they will be referred by their nicknames to protect them. 

    The oldest is fourteen and his name is D. He is in 9th grade in high school in an online charter school. He loves podcast, gaming, and just learning about the world around in general. I wish he would apply that his studies. He is a hunter and loves to go out hunting with his grandfathers. He does like traveling with us but not everywhere so there may be times he does not come along on trips. He is also a recluse teenager. Loves to hide out in his bedroom with his earbud in his ear listening to whatever podcast or Youtube video he is listening to at the moment. 

    The next one down is not biologically mine but love him nonetheless, his name is Bam. Bam is an epileptic diagnosed around age four. In the recent his absent seizure activity have been said to have stopped but his Gran Mal or Tonic-Clonic seizure still happen from time to time. He was also diagnosed with ODD, anxiety and severe depression which we deal with on a daily basis, but we get through it. He is twelve years old and in the sixth grade. He just made honor roll for the first time ever in his the first quarter of this school year in the online charter school that all the kids go to. He loves all things Pokemon, but it has become an issue in our home so it is not allowed, and dinosaurs, cars, Nerf guns. 

    Next down is Ry. For awhile she was the only girl. Up until five month ago. Ry is eleven years old and in the sixth grade in the online charter school. She also made honor roll for the first time. She never did that in a regular brick and mortar school. She is our dancer. She dances for a local studio and is on the competition team as well. Her team attends three competitions a year to various area within a six hours radius. Ry has a love of dance, but also love unicorns, mermaids, Trolls, most clothing and is getting into makeup. She helps me with my online makeup business that I run. She is an awesome partner. 

    Our crazy seven year old is Bean. He is with us every other week. The other weeks he is with his mom. Right now dad is fighting to keep shared custody because his mom fills his head with stuff about him being unsafe in our home. That is far from the truth but what can you say when someone tells lies and then blames lies on another parent. Anyway, Bean is an awesome child. He is definitely all boy. I mean that in a mostly good way. He is in the second grade in the online charter school. He does fairly well considering he struggles with reading and dad had been asking mom if he can request the school to test for learning disabilities and she refused to answer him or she said she would do it and would include him but used the wrong email. As of right now dad is trying to sign the paperwork for his new IEP so this boy can be on the right track and get better at reading and decoding words. Bean loves dinosaurs, cars, and video games. He loves when we travel and go on adventures. 

    Last but not least, there is the baby, Pebbles. Yep, that's what she is called. Her dad gave her that nickname. She is under a year old so she goes and does what we do. She is beginning to love going on trips. She loves chewing on everything. She loves her toys and anything that makes noise. She watches cartoons like Bluey and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. 

    Myself, I work as a behavior technician in a school for Autism and Emotional supports. I love going to work and then coming home to take care of the family. I love making slow cooker meals the most for the family because it can cook all day and then we can eat as a whole family and relax and watch movies after a long day. Keith works in the food industry. 

    Before we found each other back May 2019, we both enjoyed traveling. We both just did not get to travel as much as we liked. Mostly because we were with partners before that did not want to travel either because they were homebodies or refused to travel for long distances. Now we travel when we want and we decided as family that we wanted to share it our adventures of what it's like traveling with our family. 

    We have goals to visit every NFL stadium because we are big football fans to our own teams. It is a crazy rival in the house. We are would like to see some of the MLB fields as well. We love traveling to beaches and historical sites. I love that the kids are in online charter just for this so if we have vacation days we can go wherever and whenever. We just go. I hope everyone enjoys what we share. Thanks for reading.
