What's going on around here anyway?

Remember that show Full House? We loved that show, such great 80's cliche and stereotypes. The big hair, Jesse Katsapolous and Dave Coulier..Cut...it..Out! I feel like I live in the Full House house. Or I wish I did, their house was much bigger and all those stairs! Not to mention it was in San Francisco!

Really though, I think we actually have more people in our house than there was on Full House. And I love it. I love it despite the amount of loud the happy produces. Let's compare. In the Tanner household there was Danny, Uncle Jesse, Joey, DJ, Stephanie, and Michelle. That's 6. But later came Aunt Becky and the twins. So that's nine. Yep, we're tied with Full House and in half the space.

So analyzing that model that makes Jess our "Joey". That totally fits. Joey was a close friend who became like family, he had to live in the alcove -remember that whole episode where they moved him into the basement but he felt all isolated and wanted to move back into the alcove? He also talked in funny voices and made everyone laugh. Jess lives in our living room which is only slightly more spacious than an alcove. She is a friend who definitely became family and she also talks in funny voices and makes us laugh.

I think we have Full House beat when it comes to animals. They only had that Golden Retriever. I think his name was Comet. We have Gus and Ivan. Plus the cats Benny and Gus and also the rabbit Reepicheep. Very soon we will also have Kemo joining us (another dog).

So in the midst of all of this we manage to keep on schooling, acting, scouting and all that fun sort of stuff. Right now I am in the midst of redecorating my room. It's been about 9 years since I got to do that and I am having fun redoing my space. Once my room is finished the only room needing a pick me up will be the boys room.

And now on to the individualized blogs...

Who We Are

Lisa- The Blogger

This is me. I like to think I am complex and multi-faceted but I think much of the time I am a silly, zany, free-spirited person who really enjoys life. I like to make people happy, I like to be happy. I am a sanguine through and through. I love crafting, Pinterest, gathering ideas, computer stuff, watching movies, sleepovers and hugging on my offspring. I don't like internet haters who assume to 'know' me just by what they read here. There is a reason this is called 'Pieces' Of Us. It's just a small peek in the window. You may think you know, but you have no idea.
Mike- The Sportsman

Mike is more than just a sportsman but he does like to shoot a deer now and then. In his other spare moments which are few and far between he is taking college courses to finish his degree or tending to his pack as Cubmaster. He loves to spend time with the kids and they think he is pretty great even if he is a goofball who loves to embarrass them.
Madeline- The Free Spirited Bohemian One

This kid could be happy with just some books, a drawing pad and a pencil. She has an aptitude for art and has really excelled at drawing over the past year. She is patient and kind but has a mischievous twinkle in her eye. Maddy is dependable, if you want something done, she's your girl and she does it with a cheerful spirit.
Gabriella- The Creative Ray of Light

Gabby has sparkle, she has pizzazz, she has talent. She is the kid you never have to tell to practice the piano instead you tell her to take a break. She loves to chat with her friends on the computer (what teen doesn't?) and write stories with her twin sister. She's a practical joker and has a terrific sense of humor. Did I mention she is also a talented actress as well?
AJ- The Deep Thinker

This boy is going places! AJ is always thinking. He is a true philosopher pondering the whys of everything but he is also an inventor/engineer also determining the hows. He spends hours building and taking things apart. We worry that he will one day blow up the house but for now he is pretty darn useful at optimizing our computers and rewiring things that break around here.
Genevieve Audrey- The Spunky One

Spunky doesn't even begin to describe it. She is a social butterfly and she loves to sit and chat as long as her victim will listen. Ginny is a tiny little thing but her spirit is huge and she's smart to boot. She is proving to be an excellent big sister and is teaching Jilly the ropes.
Caleb Allen- The Littlest Man

He doesn't like it when you run your fingers through his hair so we do it all the more. Caleb is just so cute and snuggly. He is always full of enthusiasm whether it be positive or negative. He either really loves something or he doesn't like it at all. We love him regardless.
Jillian Clementine- The Boss

She may be small but she makes up for it big time. Jillian likes to let people know who is in charge and we often have to take her down a peg... or five. She says funny things so often that she has her own blog Jillyish. She loves to use huge words like intrusive and incredible or any other adjective that shouldn't come out of a three year old. She will also tell you that she is too shy to say Hi but don't believe it because she is pure drama.
Jess..ica- She hiccups

She may not be blood but we claim her as one of us. Honestly, I don't know what I'd do without her around. She makes us laugh and she can sing like a hamster. Everyone needs a friend with a hamster voice. Now she'll probably ask me to take this down but I'm not gonna. Because we love her.
