This Story Penned By
- Aja Jenise
- in Central Kentucky
- I am wife and lover of Paul, mother of my2girls and littlemanMark, daughter of a mighty fine woman, granddaughter to a damn crafty lady, and a friend of all things crafty. I shamefully have an ongoing affair with my camera... can I take your picture?!
The Shoup Family
We are a silly little family with our own quirks and habits to boot. Paul with his tools, tile and endless movies. Me with my camera and scrapbooks in tow. Hannah with a vivid trail of drawings, buildings and creations and their stories to tell. Sara Kate with her princess dress, her shiny shoes, purse and chapstick. And our Mr. Man, little Mark blowing his baby bubbles. With all our happy little trinkets and toys we come together to share our life with you.
Paul & Aja
We couldn't be more awesome together... two opposties pulled together by those very characteristics we ourselves lack but could not live without now that we have found it in one another. You complete me love...
Hannah Jane
Hannah is our artist, builder and inventor. With just a simple pencil and paper she shares endless stories and tales. Often her tales enlist animals, other creatures and her family and friends amongst nature. She has inspired us all to take a cue, and step outside more often. Hannah recently learned what a peacemaker is and can always be seen in the act of being our family's favorite peacemaker.
Sara Kate
Sara Kate is our socialite. She is never at a loss for words or songs. She is always in the mood to cuddle, and cuddling up watching a movie is always a bonus in her storybook. Sara Kate is the family helper, she enjoys dishes, dusting, taking care of her family, and cooking too! She is a regular Cinderella! She enjoys playing dress up with her sister, and playing with friends. Sara Kate can always inspire us to love a little bit more.
Mark Dillon
Mark is the baby of the family. He is often surrounded by his sisters, covered in his mama's kisses, and scruffed up by his daddy's whiskers. He enjoys revving up his cars, dancing to the pencil sharpener, watching movies, and making noise. And all this... while chasing, climbing and exploring his world... with the help of his dear sissies. What more could we ask for? They are beautiful together!!

Happy Easter to you all too!
Aja,
Thank you for the sentiments. We are living in Johnstown, Colorado. Prior to that, we lived in Massachusettes and Arizona. After living so far away from family, I told my husband, James, that we needed grandma back in our lives--and that I didn't care whether it was his mom or mine. So, last year he started looking for a new job and here we are. My parents live about an hour from here and life has never been so convenient.
Don't worry, we are not a "sporty" family either. In fact, I had to ask James what a GM is. I have more of a music back ground (I play the flute). As for James, let's just say he was the class valedictorian--not a jock.
I noticed that you are also a fan of Pioneer Woman. I LOVE her. I wish I could be as funny with words as she is.
You know, I can't help but think that it's a crying shame we aren't in the same ward or something. With so many intrests in common, our families probably would have naturally gravitated towards each other. Just wish we could have you guys over for dinner and games.
Looks like you guys had a great Easter. I think that is one of my favorite holidays!
Thanks for the recipe.
