My Daddy is 46, his name is James Adam Hill. He goes by; Adam, Mr.Adam, Pastor Adam, P.A, Daddy Hill, or my personal favorite, Darth Vader. My Dad is the greatest man you could ever meet. He is a giant geek; all of his children have seen Star Wars, Star Trek, Stargate, Doctor Who, Firefly, and of course super hero movies! He is extremely smart, he can take apart and put back together pretty much anything, he's super tech savvy!
He is loving, has a great sense of humor, kind and patient; sure he gets mad at us occasionally but he never stays that way. Ever.
He is the leader of our house and lives according to the biblical standard. I know he's not perfect, but he is my personal super hero. He has taught me so much and I know I will continue to learn more from him.
Next, my Mamma. She is 40 years old and her name is name is Kiona Danielle Hill. Also known as Mamma Hill. My mom is an extraordinary woman of God.
She is always a strong rock in the midst of chaos. I've seen her handle some extremely difficult situations with ease. She is beautiful, strong, a great multi-tasker, and one of my best friends. Best of all she and my dad have a fantastic relationship!
My mom is the mother of all mothers, she has helped me through everything and I know she always will.
These are my beautiful parents!
Now to go through the siblings.
Mark Adam Hill. Age:19
Mark, although a HUGE know it all is a great big brother.
Yes, he always has to be right, yes he doesn't always know when he has lost the argument, and yes he's a weird history buff geek, (no offense to history buffs) but he has a big heart.
My older brother will help anyone who needs it, no questions asked. Okay well he might ask 1 or 2, but he'll still help.
He is definitely seeking after God and even though he and his fiance are gross to watch when they kiss, I know that he has a great future ahead of him.
Mark and his lovely girlfriend Nikki
Johnna, she's little Miss Perfect. And when I say little, I mean little! She is twig thin, but fairly tall for a girl. I'm not sure how she stays that way considering she eats like a horse; constantly and messily. She's also a perfectionist, everything has to be just right.
She is athletic and loves to work out. (she's jealous of my muscle arms) She is very competitive, but good natured and will punch you at any given time so watch out!
Johnna is my best friend and has given many people great advice.
She is not currently interested in pursuing a relationship with anyone, but I like to pick people out for her.
She loves Jesus and her family more than anything, so I'd say her priorities are straight.
This is my gorgeous sister Johnna (I don't know why she's not smiling)
Charissa Shalom Hill. Age: 16 (This is me!)
I like to consider myself the comedian of the family. I like to make people laugh and I'm pretty darn good at it.
My parents call me the peace maker because I hate it when people argue so I find the best solution to stop the argument.
The only athletic thing I do is wake board.
I plan on going to cosmetology school since I love hair and makeup, and pretty much anything feminine.
I am working on keeping God my number 1, and so far I'm succeeding!
This is Me, Myself and I!
Alison Ruth Hill. Age:15
Alison has always been a helpful one. She likes to serve and that's a good quality.
On the downside she also likes to cry. And cry. And cry.
She cries about good food and bad food. She has happy tears, sad tears, mad tears all kinds of tears. She just cries.
Although she has gotten better recently so I have to give her some credit. Way to go Ali!
Alison really does have a kind heart and she's a lot of fun to be around.
However, she needs to be careful because she can be pretty naive, but sometimes that's a good thing.
She's really good at anything crafty. Crochet, knit, draw, paint, projects.
You name it!
This is the Crafty Ali!
Claudia Elise Hill. Age:13
Claudia is the big musician. I mean all of us can sing, but she has a lot of above average talent! She plays guitar, writes her own songs and sings like a bird.
Now she does have a tendency to get cocky because of her abilities, but don't worry I always put her in her place! ;-)
Claudia's only major issue is anger. She easily gets mad and argues. We're working on it.
When she's not angry, she is one of the most fun people to be around!
This is the Talented Lala (her nickname)
Emma Katherine Hill. Age:12
Emma is a bit kookier than the rest of us. We love her all the more for it!
Of course, being the preteen she is we often find ourselves wanting to hide from her. Turns out she's not all that scary. Tweens can actually be pretty cool. Gosh, I can't believe I just typed that.
She's still in that stage where she's figuring out what kind of person she will be, where her talents lie, and what she likes to do. So far she likes making jewelry and enjoying her childhood.
Emma the Tweeny Bopper
Judah Cole Hill. Age:10(in less than a month)
Judah, is an average 10 year old boy. He likes video games, playing outside and getting dirty.
He also is probably the best male singer in the family other than my dad.
I personally think he's going to be a heart-breaker. My opinion may be slightly biased..
Judah is great when we need an extra hand to do little jobs; like take out the trash or unload the dishwasher. He's doesn't talk all the time, but when he does you should listen.
He always watches out for his younger siblings and that makes me a proud sister!
Judah the Guard Bro
Levi Owen Hill. Age:8
Levi is definitely a goofball! He's crazy and somewhat a monkey
He's also one of the sweetest kids you could ever have the pleasure of meeting.
Levi loves to love on people. He gives great hugs, and is a good snuggle buddy!
He's really smart and figures things out really well.
If only he would take a breath in between words!
Lovable Levi
Simon Taylor Hill. Age:5
Simon Taylor, known to many as Simon Trouble. He's a rowdy one, always running around and playing, and getting into everything. He likes to explore.
Simon can be sweet and usually is, but for some reason he likes to torture Johnna's cat(Pascal). Oh well, some things can't be helped. Just kidding!
We remove Pascal from harm's way.
Unfortunately, over this past spring break Simon injured his second vertebrae.
Now he is wearing a halo. Which he will hopefully get off sooner rather than later.
He also likes to think of himself as Iron Man.
Which I think helps him while he's temporarily disabled.
Simon Iron Man Trouble
Andrew Shepard Hill. Age:5
Andrew is Simon's fraternal twin. He is.. hmm how do I put this? Strange. Don't get me wrong, the kid is smart and if you give him some legos he is an amazing architect! Honestly, he's just a weird kid, he thinks differently than the rest of us. It's very endearing. Andrew even made up his own super hero and calls himself the Red Panther. He can be a bit of a whiner, but Andrew is definitely a great kid!
Andrew the Red Panther
Temperance Danielle Hill. Age:3
If you could only use one word to describe the word Diva, that word would be Tempi.
Tempi is my buddy, we use the buddy system at our house which means I help take care of her needs. So she is my prodigy.
She changes clothes at least 3 times a day. Has to have her coffee in the morning.
And she will not sleep without someone else in the room. She's adorable.
She speaks in full conversations with adults,teenagers, children, and infants.
She says she loves me more than silverware! (I'm hoping that's a lot)
Tempi the Diva
Gideon Samuel Hill. Age:2
Gideon is our miracle baby. He was born not breathing and didn't breathe for 30-45 minutes.
During which we and everyone we know prayed, and prayed, and prayed.
Finally, my dad called us from the ambulance saying he was breathing.(It was a home birth)
He lived in the Shands NICU for 25 days. When he came home, it was hard trying to accommodate him. You see Gideon now has Cerebral Palsy. That basically means he can't control his muscles.
The motor skill part of his brain doesn't work,so his brain is having to form new pathways in order for him to move correctly. Gideon is by no means stupid. Please do not ever call someone who is mentally disabled, stupid or retarded. Gideon is probably smarter than most 2 and 3 year olds.
He is improving everyday. He has a sense of humor and he loves peanut butter.
Anyone who meets him automatically falls in love, he has the biggest smile and loves to laugh.
G-Man!!
Victoria Jewel Hill. Age:6 months
Since Tori is so young I can't really say much about her personality. I can tell you she drools a lot, likes to chew on anything in her reach, scoots around everywhere, and likes to see how much of her fist she can get in her mouth at one time.
Tori Drools-A-Lot
