Andrea (Tallman) Frederick

I guess I will be the first to post about my life since I'm the one who came up with this bright idea! Here goes nothing....

As most of you know, I married Vance Frederick in 1999. We will be married for 10 years in June! Seems like a long time and then it seems like the time has flown! He is a lineman for Tri County Electric and received a journeyman lineman diploma in January. I threw him a HUGE surprise party for his accomplishment in February and he was shocked. He still doesn't really trust me b/c he thinks it's creepy how well I lied to him! Oh well, everyone has their talents. (He's at the top right)

In May 2002, we had our son, Colby Curtis. He is now in 1st grade. Colby and I get along like vinegar and water sometimes. He is a wonderful, helping boy 80% of the time, but when he's not....WATCH OUT! He loves being outdoors: fishing, riding horese, roping, etc. His dad is definitely his number 1 fan!

On Colby's first birthday, we got some news....Surprise! we were pregnant again. So a short 20 months after we had Colby came Emma in January 2004. She is now 4 1/2 and a little princess. She loves clothes, makeup and accessories. She has just now discovered the wonderful world of shopping. Emma and I love hanging out, just us girls! She also has a strange sense of understanding at such a young age and a deep love for God. Although, Emma is a princess, she does not object to being outside and usually comes in dirtier than Colby.

In addition to my children, I am a teacher. I have taught for 7 years. This year I am in 1st grade and loving it. It's a nice break from the hubbub of kindergarten. It is hard to work with an age group and then come home to that same age group in the evening.

Vance and I have also started building a house this summer. We are excited to see it change everyday when we go look at it. It consumes a lot of our time and thoughts as we get closer and closer to moving in. We should be able to move in November. YAY!Well, there's my life in a nutshell. Please post your's. If you can't figure it out, just email me or leave a comment here and I will help you out! Happy blogging......
