Introducing Terra & Tyler James and Family

Howdy!

Here is a little bit about my wild family. Tyler and I met in College at Texas A&M University, got married, lived in San Antonio Texas, moved to Amarillo Texas and found out we were going to be a +1 family. When we lived in Amarillo Tyler worked for a truck sales company and I was a Culinary Arts Teacher at Caprock High School. In November of 2011 we welcomed Sloane JoeLee (Joe-Tyler's Grandpa, and Dorothy Lee my grandmother) James into the world and our family. In January of 2013 our family made a commitment to make lifestyle change and move to Plainview Texas where Tyler grew up to embark on the adventure of becoming a farming family. Both sides of Tyler's family farm, and he knew that this was the type of up brining he wanted our growing family to have. I accepted a teaching position at the one and only high school in town (where Tyler graduated from and was his student body/class president) teaching Interior Design, Fashion Design and Human Services all the while also wrangling the Cheerleaders. We bought an amazing home and are enjoying the community.

To this day I am not sure what Tyler thought he was getting his self into when he asked me to marry him, but he sure does bring a fun and humorous addition to our cousins friendship. Tyler is a farmer thru and thru, wears your jeans, gets dirty, cowboy hat, boots, and cowboy vest but he loves to listen to rap, and old country and Frank Sinatra. He is a very caring and loving human and sweet husband. You will see a lot of his music videos and comical advise/phrases throughout this blog. He keeps The Heacock Clan on our toes.

Sloane, sweet, sweet, Sloane. We are so smitten by this sweet girl. She is a pistol and full of independence and at the age of 22 months she thinks she is 22 years old. She request to drive to see "her cows", or tells us to "get up", and "come on". We are at her beckon call. We love every minute of being a family and being parents!

I will leave you with Tyler's latest music video!

 

I love this man, he definitely keeps my life interesting.

The people you can call family!

When you grow up and play or hang out with your family you never realize how wild and crazy your future will be or where it will take you. The Heacock Clan is by far the most bonded group of cousins you could imagine. We are strange, unique, weird, loving, fun, energetic, but we love our family. This blog is to document our cousins bond and life experience so those of you that wish can follow us and our daily adventures or for our future family members that can look back and realize what kind of eccentric family they are entering by choice or fate. We felt there was a need to document our daily humorous experience and some of our conversations that make us laugh at times so hard we might accidentally have wet our pants. This blog is a family blog so there will be updates from numerous family members. I want to tell you who we are. Pretty much we have every aspect of the occupation spectrum covered. Within this group we have a farmer want to be vocal artist (lip singer, performer) , Engineer, Stay at home mom, Artist, fortune 500 cubical professional, Teacher, Student, mother, father, friend, care giver, and seamstress and cook. Our parents, are business owners, A Beer man, managers, nurses, rancher and business professionals. Here is a break down!
