Kym and family

My hubby, Dan, is awesome. Perfect father and hilarious husband. I fell for this guy because he had a guitar and a great voice....but I loved the fact that he resembled Buddy Holly. Dan keeps my I-Pod updated with new, obscure bands and for that I am so lucky. Just a few months after I met him in 1998, he swept me off my feet and we moved to Boston. After just one year there, we decided that our true home was in Phoenix. We came back in 1999, got married in November of 2000 and had a beautiful baby boy in 2007.

Johnny....little Johnny rocket. My son is the epitome of awesome. He can play trains like nobody's business.....hours of it. He loves Mickey Mouse, but calls him Hot Dog (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse theme song goes, "hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog").

My dogs: Finn and Lucy. Finn is a freak; I love him, but he's crazy. He thinks he's a circus dog. You'll know what I mean if you ever meet him. Lucy is adorable, but not very smart. She has the typical Lhasa-Apso under-bite and runs into stuff all of the time. Yes, she's named after Lucille Ball; appropriately named after a troublemaker.

Other animals at our home (but that I have NOTHING to do with):  a tortoise, birds, koi, turtles and a frog. Dan thinks he's getting a miniature horse someday.
