July update




Here is a bit of an update on the Jackson/McGuire clan. This summer has been a busy one for us, filled with fun activities and of course we've been busy planning the wedding that is being taken place Saturday August 15th. We had realized yesterday that we only had 4 weeks left until the big day. The girls are excited to be a part of the union of Bryan and I. They all will be flower girls, it gives them a chance to get all girlie.
Let me tell u a bit about each of the girls to update you. We will start with the oldest one Ravyn. Ravyn just turned 10 last month and it shows lol. She is getting more and more grown up as time passes by. My baby is no longer a baby. She is growing into her own and her summer is filled with playing with her sisters and her friends. Ravyn also is an amazing artist, that girl can draw like no other. She is growing into a beautiful young woman right before our eyes.
Willow would be next, Willow turned 7 a few months ago and she is filled with comedy and love. Willow is the littlest of all the girls, she looks alot like mommy when mommy was little. She loves to play outdoors and is getting braver and braver in the water. Willow is truly opening up and showing her true spirit. Willow will always be our (as her sisters call her) willow pillow marshmallow.
Here comes the vibrant dancing energetic Alayna! Alayna just turned 6 and this summer is involved in a lot of activities that keep her busy. Gymnastics, day camp and swimming! Alayna keeps us on our toes for sure.
Our youngest Sadie Elizabeth is 4 and will be 5 in Nov. She is definitely her own character and is filled with love, hugs and kisses. She likes to make believe and play with her sisters. Sadie is the baby and is growing more and more everyday.
Last but not least the adults. Bryan is busy these days keeping the house afloat and studying for his Insurance License to work for "American income life". Meanwhile still doing manual therapy for a few patients on the side. In his downtime he enjoys being the soon to be stepfather to Ravyn, Willow and Sadie and their relationships are growing more and more. Bryan has gotten closer to Alayna these past few years and through trial and error has grown into a great dad to them all. Bryan is a wonderful partner and has never left my side.
Last but not least I am busy these days being a mother and a hair stylist. The girls continue to challenge me. I have a special bond with each and every one of the girls. We don't have all the girls all of the time but part of the time which is hard on us but with being a blended family it is just the way it goes. The girls continue to amaze us considering the drastic change that has encountered their lives. Bryan and I are growing more and more as partners and we have a spiritual connection like no other. We love one another and our family. Thanks for visiting, more to come next month.
