Meet the Meadows!

We are a crazy busy family, but we somehow manage to keep it all together! Well, at least we think we do! John and Karly were married on July 4th 2008 and blended 5 kids into one family. We are crammed into a modest home which provides little room for privacy and plenty of room for chaos! John's daughter, Alissa is 14 and in band (flute), competitive cheer, and track. Karly's son, Haden is 13 and loves piano, violin, drawing, tennis, and writing. John's son, Chance is 11 and plays football and basketball, and was recently nominated for Junior National Young Leaders of America. Karly's son, Dallas is also 11 and plays tackle football, basketball, soccer, and loves to sing. Karly's daughter,  Lindley is 7 and likes soccer and basketball, and also loves to sing (we often say that she lives her life in a musical). John is "the radio man" for the City of Edmond and Karly is a Juvenile Probation Officer for Oklahoma County. So you see, we are possibly the most over-scheduled mom and dad you know (we have to do a lot of tag-team parenting!), but we wouldn't have it any other way! We have it all, from funny moments that will make you split a gut, to tough times that teach life lessons; but we do it together, because we're the MEADOWS! So, we have decided to share some of our favorites with you and hope you enjoy this journey and find some entertainment and maybe even a little comfort in knowing that, although we have a crazy life, it's not much different than yours!
