My Family

I am the oldest of 4 children, Stratton is 8, Jaxsen is 3, Charlie is 1 and I am 13. My mom, Jes is only 30 and is an only child. When it comes to my dad the guy you see in the pictures is really my step dad. His name is Jeff but I call him Poppie and he is a great dad to me. He is 27 and is the youngest of 5 kids. He lost an older brother and sister to Cystic Fibrosis, but they are always in our hearts. When my mom married Jeff I got aunts, uncles and LOTS of cousins. I love my family very much and am so happy they are my "NOW".

The Morales-Lovato Family

My Mom's Dad was adopted and then when his mom, my Grandma Dora married Robert Morales I got the greatest Great Grandpa ever! I never got to meet my grandpa Larry, at least not that I can remember. I am the old Grandchild he ever got to see or hold and I was only a few months old. He passed away when I was little before any of my brothers were born.

The Ortiz Side

This is my mom's side of the family. She is an only child. The Ortiz name died with my Great Grandma in 1999, but there are still four generations of Ortiz women in my family!

This is my Great-Great-Grandma Mary Ortiz

in San Berdino, California around 1939.

This is a photo of my Great Grandma (I call her GG) and her sisters
