My family

So we all observe people. The people watchers that we are... well heres to a start on my new blog. Im going to let you observe me and the little bits and parts of my family life. If you didn't read the about me part of the page thats oh so much smaller than the rest of my blog, I will tell you who Iam again and include my family pictures this time and maybe some more of me... eek.. okay so here we go.

My name is Vanessa Hagen. I pretty much have a book at the tip of my toungue I could tell you about. Its probably one of the types of stories that most people like to read or hear about. True life, true stories. Who doesn't like to hear something from someone elses life. I think its a natural human trait to want to know about others bio.  Anyways thats kind of why I decided to add it into my blog. I hope you can read about many of things about my life itself and be inspired. For now I will talk about my family and Myself. My husband and I are in our Twenty-somethings with four kids... yes yes I know what you are thinking.. WOW thats a lot of kids, well your right it is. But I have to say these kids are my everything. Without them I would not be able to laugh at some of lifes little things such as them because they are little and full of little surprises all the time.  Three of which are my daughters and one and only one is my son Beau Tyler who just turned one Sept.30th. Time flys!

I was a teen mother at the age of 14. Yes 14 years old I said it. I found out at 14 and had her by the time I had turned 15 years old. Thats a lot to take on for a young girl at that age. Well by the grace of god and his mercy and faithfulness to me he has brought me and my daughter into the life we now live and share with siblings/more kids, a daddy and a husband. Im ever so thankful for this because his gods plan was the ultimate plan. Plus I pretty much stocked my husband before he was my husband .. boy craziness can make you do stupid things... but here Iam married to the man I once stocked.. Okay first let me just go back here for a minute to clarify "stocked" I had dated on and off with Josh for a while but prior to that I would just pretty much make it like it was a ever so convenient coincidence that I happened to be wherever he was at... okay I admit maybe that was a bit overboard but I knew somewhere in my heart it was for a good reason and that something would happen.... like maybe marrying this guy one day?.... well here Iam Mrs. Hagen herself. Hey all I can say is stocking has its advantages or should I say being conveniently available or around in the same area as your love victim can be good..... or bad.. So I don't suggest you do it. I just happened to get lucky :)

Josh Is my husband of almost five years but we have been together since I was sixteen. I met him back at home In Missoula Montana... AKA Zoo Town... I love that place.. when I retire most likely that's where you will find me. Anyways Josh and I were both Montana made and born in the same hospital in the little city of Missoula. I grew up there, he moved to Texas really young and grew up there most of his life up until his senior year. Josh decided to move back to Missoula for his senior year and graduated there in 2002  and then pretty much after that I met this man for the first time ever downtown on the "drag" a weekend where all the highschoolers went to show off their cars and hang out to go to the after parties. BIG DEAL if you were a teen and lived in Missoula and had a nice car.. even if you didn't own a car it was a big deal.. Don't you love how off track I get?... *silence* okay maybe not. Sorry. Josh has been in the Military for almost 6 years and is about ready to re-enlist! wow time flew by on that. We are living In Washington state about 45 minutes to Seattle, its pretty except for the rain... Josh loves his Crotch rocket.. If he could ride all day he would. Uh....ohh geeez I think that's about it for Josh for now :)

My little cheer leading team/football team.. well there's four all together one of which is a boy so he would be part of the football team and well the rest are three girls. I'm highly debating on which side I should add my daughter Karlee to. Shes a diva/tomboy?.... Soo maybe part time on the cheer team and part time on the football team? opinions anyone?  :) Anyways they range from 7-1 in age. I'm a stay at home momma so I can take care of them and sow into them the best momma I possibly can so one day they will show my great efforts through who they are and what they do :)

Okay so I'm going to wrap this long  intro up but in this page I will be adding more stuff about my family or the things we do going through life with pictures.. I hope you enjoy!
