Meet the Wolf Pack

One of my favorite things about the "new" place is because we

have such a close knit neighborhood... 

Though our wolf pack grows and shrinks on a regular basis the core of the wolf pack has stayed in tact since day one.

We are all very close and I LOVE IT!

Our hoe has always been the hang out for the kids and though this can sometimes be overwhelming I know in years to come I will look back at this as some of the best memories that the girls and I have as a family. 

So with out further ado....

Here they are (no special order) 

Tyson

(the one to the right)

Tyson is the oldest of the pack and I am grateful that he has the big brother status not only to his three younger sisters but to the rest of the pack as well. They all watch Tyson in awe and LOVE when he is spending time with them!

 Lanie (L) and Aaliyah (R)

These two...

They are besties and to say the least are VERY close! 

They do everything together and though these two get on each others nerves it only takes about 5 minutes before they are over it and back to being attached at the hip. 

Lanie is a little older than Aaliyah but they are in the same grade and inseparable.
I am blessed that Aaliyah has been able to have such a close friendship at such a young age. I feel these too will be friends for life and I am blessed to be like a second mother to her and her sisters. 

 Ashton (top), Summer (L), Thalia (M) and Kara (R)

These are our newest additions to the wolf pack. Ashton is with the middle school girls. then Summer and Kara are with the elementary girls and then there is our sweet Thaila who started her own "section" of the pack.
Though they haven't been here long they have come to fit in well and keeps things interesting and helps keeps our friend drama up :)
Not because our crew NEEDED the help :)

Raelyn:

Another daughter I have adopted in the mix.

Raelyn is the bestie to Alora and sister to Tyson, Lanie and Emmalee.

Raelyn is so much fun and reminds me a lot of my lifetime bestie Mia. 

Though her and Alora seem to be the core of drama these two have each others backs. 

They have been inseparable since last year and I am so honored to have her in Alora's life... now if the drama would come down about a 1000 notches this mamma wouldn't enjoy wine as much I am sure :) 

Alora

Alora has quickly earned my wild child title and since Middle School started I have been dumb founded by some of her stunts. 

I am thankful that I am so close to her best friends mom and we can work these things out together and aren't afraid to lecture them as a team. 

Alora and Raelyn are SOOOOO much like and my friendship with my bestie that I know these too are officially serving life together! 

Dakota:
Dakota and Tyson are the same age and though they get along and count each other as a friend they aren't super close.
Dakota kinda stand on her own and socializes when she is ready. She has always been my "keep to myself" girl but she does enjoy the company. She is a huge help with me keeping the pack in order and she usually plays mamma when needed.

Emmalee

Em is by far the youngest in the pack. She joined us last year on Alora's birthday as we all sat here at the house anxiously awaiting her arrival! 

We always joke about sharing Em's happiness because it is a rare day that this little shorty is in a mood. She is always happy, smiling and cheering us up when we need it most. 

Our favorite part... NO DRAMA, NO TALKING BACK and NOTHING BUT SMILES :) 

I am super excited to see where her personality will go when she gets older and how her role will be in the pack but what ever it may be we are good with waiting it out and enjoying this stage... 

We all know TOO well how FAST it goes! 

Do your kids have a lifetime group of friends?
