Hey Ya’ll!
I’m glad you found your way to my blog!
If you're already a regular reader of my ramblings, I’ve enjoyed your company. It's been such a wonderful blogging experience being uplifted and encouraged by friends like you!
If you are new to Rockin’ C, this is who you will be reading about . . .
WE are the "T Family":
Tim, Tiffany, Tiya, Taylor, Tyler, Talon, Tucker, Trevor, & Truman
My husband & I are raising 6 children or "Outlaws," as I often refer to them, out in the country in a small Texas town, on about 800 acres. We certainly have a full house, blended together with “his”, “mine” & “ours”; however, we work very hard at just being one solid family unit. We are by far NOT the Brady Bunch, but by the grace of God we are a very blessed family. 
We have a family farm with over 75 head of cattle, too many donkeys, several goats, chickens, & rabbits. Lots of fish, a couple frogs & turtles, 3 dogs & 2 cats. We are blessed to have all kinds of God's creatures all over our property. There are several wild hogs & beautiful deer roaming around. The butterflies & birds are amazing! We have a beautiful 12 acre "tank"/pond/lake that is fully stocked with catfish, bass & hybird stripers. Our house is old, almost ancient, & quite roomy, but it has history & we call it home.
Our family loves Jesus, & God’s amazing creation. We spend a lot of family time together & enjoy fishing, hunting, riding 4-wheelers, & exploring nature. We are a homeschooling family & try to encourage our children to try new things & use their imaginations.
Tim (36) aka, "Big Daddy" has been a police officer in the city for 12 years. His work schedule is great -- the most he works is 3 days in a row (twice a week). He is home a lot & we love it! Tim is truly a 100% country boy at heart. He loves fishing & hunting. All of our family trips are planned around one of the two. You just can't help but fall in love with the country or great outdoors when you are with him. He is full of knowledge & has a story for everything! He is my best friend & wonderful father. Our kids live for their daily 4-wheeler adventure with daddy. He is a jack of all trade, a great handy man; however, rarely completes any project fully -- there are ton's of unfinished projects all over our house. He can be very intimidating & can easily come across as very chauvinistic, but is quite the opposite. He gives 100% & expects the same in return. He is the leader of our home & I would follow him anywhere.
TIFFANY (27). I am young in age, but have an old spirit. I am a total city girl that has fallen head over heals in love with a country boy that has taught me to appreciate God's creation (in the country). During this transition I have grown to love the country life & wouldn't raise my children anywhere else. I am very old fashion in my views & beliefs, but still considered to be "cool." It is important to me to raise my kids with Godly standards & not worldly standards. I always tend to find the good in people & am a natural care-taker. I am my children’s mother & my husbands help meet. My mom is one of my best friends & my step dad is my inspiration. I love my family & cherish my friendships. I am an organizer, planner, scheduler habitually. I enjoy my quiet time with God, scrapbooking, reading, cooking (sometimes), learning to sew, summer days at the lake, entertaining, & spending time with my family.
The girls . . .
TIYA (16) is our oldest. She lives about an hour and a half away from us & is a very busy girl. She is our cheerleader & play every sport child. She is a total GIRLY GIRL & loves to be the center of attention. She is a typical teenager – way too cool for us right now, so we don't see her very often. Ever now & then she will visit & we will scrapbook together or take a trip to town for a little shopping. Her little sister & brothers adore her & we all wish we saw more of her.
TAYLOR (12) She is 100% a daddy's girl! She is her daddy's daughter -- she loves being outside, fishing, (not so much hunting -- "too early & boring"), working cows . . . if her daddy is doing it - she is there! Taylor is a girly girl though. She loves everything about being a girl & is totally excited about becoming a teenager. She loves fashion & is always game for a shopping spree. She also enjoys playing with her brothers, scrapbooking, swimming, sewing, & cooking. Taylor homeschooled for 2 & a half years, but is currently attending public school. She lived with us for almost 5 years, but recently went back to live with her mother. She is missed dearly & is always in our thoughts & prayers.
The boys . . .
TYLER (10) is our class clown. He is hilarious. He loves to make people laugh. He is just so silly! Tyler is our tender-hearted child that tends to be a little sensitive. He is a fun-loving child. He is his brothers' keeper. He spends a lot of time with his little brothers playing & teaching them all kinds of new things. The boys will following him everywhere & he usually lets them. They play fight a lot & he usually lets them win. He loves to play with his sisters too. Taylor is his best friend. He loves her & protects her. Tyler is very creative. I love his imagination! He loves to draw, build with his legos, go fishing, play baseball (he is very good!), and explore the country. He is a country boy 100%!
TALON is our baby that is with the Lord and truly in our hearts forever.
TUCKER (6) is our BIG "Trouble." He is Tim all over again & 100% rough & tough BOY! He is our ER child. If it is going to happen - it is going to happen to Tucker! He is very much the strong willed child & has a mind of his own. He has such a free spirit & loves running around barefoot. He tries to be sneaky & loves to trick his mommy. He has a look for everything & is just adorable. He loves Tyler & wants to do everything he does. He tries to be a good big brother to Trevor, but can be quite the bully. Tucker is a daddy's boy by day & a momma's boy by night. He is a snuggler! He loves to go fishing & has carried bass around since he was old enough to walk. He loves the outdoors & all kinds of animals. He rides our goats & chases our chickens. He enjoys playing with his plastic animals & digging in the dirt (for worms!).
TREVOR (4) is our "Terror." He is the wild child! He is everything Tucker is x 2!! He is our loudest child & likes to be heard. He thinks he is big & is rarely slowed down. He has quite a little temper, but is just as sweet as he is mean. You never know what is going to come out of his mouth - he holds nothing back! He loves food & eats more than any of our kids. He loves to make messes, but doesn't like being dirty. He loves chasing Tucker around & will do whatever the other kids are doing. He has no fear! He is a momma's boy & often buts heads with his daddy. He is very smart & he has the cutest little laugh.
TRUMAN (20 MONTHS) IS THE BABY! He is full of smiles & has the sweetest melt-your-heart laugh. He loves to be held & without a doubt is definitely spoiled by ALL his siblings. He is so eager to keep up with them – watching him try is pure enjoyment. He certainly thinks he is the boss around here. He is very selfish with his mommy. He loves to be outside. The farm amazes him. Truman is a little guy & has been sick quite a bit the past year. His resilience amazes me. We are praying for healing for him.
I blog a lot about our outlaws – the good, the bad, & the ugly – it is a wild ride, but the ride of my life! I try to keep it real around here. This is my little journal of my life as a mom to many, my journey as a stay at home mom homeschooling a bunch of boys, step-parenting 2 amazing girls, scrapbooking as much of it as possible, & organizing everything & anything a long the way!
I hope you enjoy this peak into our lives . . . I pray that you are encouraged as you read & get to know us, as I have been by some of my favorite blogs. Please feel free to introduce yourself or leave a comment from time to time. God Bless!
