I married my husband, Bobby Taylor, in June 1995.  We will be celebrating our 30^th year anniversary this year.  I have a son, Kyle Burks, from a previous marriage.  He is now married with 3 beautiful children.  I have 3 bonus children, Rodney, Brian, and Amanda.  With the combination of our blended family, Bobby and I have 6, Kaylea, Kyle, Grayson, Hadley, Baylor, and Kace, grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren, Lydia and Livia.  We are so blessed.  After being empty nesters for several years, we now have two beloved miniature dashchunds, Hank and Mia, a drop off pup named, VooDoo, and our honory old cat, Ashes.  

Kids have always been a passion of mine since I was a little girl.  I loved playing with my babydolls and Barbies.  As I grew and got older, I babysat my twin cousins.  I fell in love with children and they became my passion.  I really believe i am living my calling everyday, when I am allowed to love, educate, and of course spoil all of my babies.  I am so thankful and blessed for getting to be a part of each and every one of my kinder babies lives over the years.  Each of them have left butterfly kisses upon my heart and so many sweet memories.

When I am away from school, my favorite passtimes are fishing, gardening, and watching my grandchildren play sports.  I grew up fishing with my daddy and I have always loved it.  It is my therapy and my peaceful time while I am on the water.  My next love is gardening.  I love plants and spending time in my greenhouse.  This is my calming area.  I can always go to my greenhouse and forget about all my problems.  Watching my grandbabies playing all of the sports I grew up loveing makes my heart warm.  They are truly my biggest love.  And of course I can not leave out my beloved LSU Tigers.  I have been a fan of LSU football, basketball, softball, and baseball for as long as I can remember.  Win or lose I will always bleed purple and gold.
