The joy in my life is my wonderful family. I have two exceptional children (don't all moms feel that way?) and a marvelous husband.

Kyle is 9 years old and is in third grade at All Saints Schools. He likes to study about anything science-related, create things artistically, and build bionicles (if you know what that is!). We are both HUGE fans of Star Wars.

Kaylee is 2 old and has created a huge adjustment at the Cooper household! She is a beautiful little girl who is full of energy, curious about everything, and likes to have it her way.

My husband, John, is a Real Estate broker ans is pretty busy with his endeavors. For the past couple of years, he started hunting again and has enjoyed all the wildlife adventures.
