Introducing The Six Pack

I started this blog last night assuming everyone that will read will already know all about us. I guess that's not always the case though, right? So I will tell you a little bit about the kids.

Dominic is the oldest one. He is 16 years old and a sophomore in high school. He enjoys basketball and PS3 games. He likes the Call of Duty games and the NBA games. He's really a good kid, he is! He likes to cook, believe it or not but he hates cleaning up after himself! His famous meal is breakfast. He has all the other kids trained. If you opt for the full breakfast you will be served first, however if you choose this or that from it you must wait til the end to be served. He's kind of like that character from Seinfeld, you know the soup guy, but he's the breakfast guy instead! :)

Victoria is 12 years old. She can be a hormonal nightmare at times. She can also be the most thoughtful and caring of the older 4 kids. She's gone through a lot in life with illnesses , hospitalizations and allergies but we don't like to focus on that. We want her to remember all the fun times in life! She's quite spunky. She loves amusement park rides. She's not afraid of anything! She loves animals. You can always find her with at least one of them. She is also our artistic one. She recently developed an interest in sewing. My Mom has been teaching her a little as her mother (me) doesn't know how to sew a button back on to something! So one day she went around the house gathering all of Bella's and Wags' (our dogs) ripped toys and she repaired each of them! She made two furry little friends very happy!

Shaina is the 3rd born, kind of a typical middle child! She is 11 yrs old. She has the cutest little giggle. Shaina is a charmer and she's very likable. She loves playing Singstar! Shaina is really into that TV show The Saddle Club and she has Victoria and Gabriella interested now too. Shaina has always had a big love for horses. She loves purses and you will often find her carrying one around the house. I have no idea what she has in them but she always keeps one close to her side.

Alexander "Alex" is our 4th born. I was in labor for 36 hours with that little stinker! He's 9 yrs old. He's a really lovable kid. He LOVES the beach! He enjoys vidoe games, movies about super heros and his action figures. He's really into Ben Ten right now. It seems like if there is trouble around, Alex is in the middle of it. I don't think he intends to be, he's just always in the wrong place at the wrong time! :) He's the kind of kid that will get you a drink and then dribble the drink all the way across the floor, so as helpful as he's being, he's also causing quite a mess! Still he has a good heart and he means well and it's so hard to get angry with him.

Nikolas was quite a little surprise. He's 4 yrs old. He will be 5 yrs old next month and for some reason I am having a hard time coming to grips with this! I did great when all the other kids turned 5 but it's just different with Nikolas. He has a little round face and a great big head! He even jokes about it because it's hard to get his head through the holes in shirts! He is so comical! He comes out with the cutest things and keeps us laughing. He is quite good at Singstar and can sing just about every Abba song on there. You should hear him sing "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing"...he even gets the Whoo's! in there! It's so funny! He's quite the little entertainer. He's extremely social as well, not shy at all!

Gabriella is the little caboose. She's 3 yrs old now. Where did those last three years go? I am still trying to figure that out. At present she's really into Dora the Explorer, Gullah Gullah Island , Imagination Movers, Yo Gabba Gabba and the movie Mama Mia! She would watch that movie over and over if we would let her. She can sing every song from it and actually knows a lot of the dialogue. She's a spunky little one! She loves pretty dresses and pretty nightgowns. She got an American Girl Bitty Baby from Santa. She loves it, she was less thrilled with the matching PJ's. John told me that after spending $30 on them, if she didn't wear them I better put my big butt in them because SOMEONE was going to wear them! Luckily she does make me happy and wears them sometimes. She's a very strong willed and stubborn child. She should be a joy as a teenager, but maybe by that time I will be too senile to know what is going on in the house! :)

I will tell you a little bit about John and myself in future posts.
