Our New Little Place in the Country

Well, this will be a first for us, but we our going to build our next house. We like the area that we live in so much, that we have bought some land(just a half acre, but it fells like more since it is more than twice the size we have right now) just 2 miles down the road from where we live now. Of course we have to sell our house first before we start building, but we know that the Lord has a buyer out there for our house. Here are a few pictures of the place. I will post pictures as we progress and hopefully that is soon.

This tree has treehouse written all over it, or a good tree to set up a ladder stand to get some practice in with my bow...lol


Ben loves playing with the sticks when we go out there

This was so funny, Ben tripped over something and said, "Mommy, help me! I fall down".


God has been so good to us and we just thank him for the blessing of this place that we will call our home one day.

First Post for 2009

I know, it is the middle of January and I am just now posting about Christmas. You probably thought we had given up on the blog. Well, we haven't but things have just been extremely busy lately. After being off of work for a week and a half for the Christmas holidays, I never imagined so much could go on. Long story short, we had a great Christmas, traveled across Texas and had more Christmas, bought a lot to build on, put our house on the market, and showed it a couple of times. Not at all what I had in mind for the holidays this year, but hey, you gotta do what you gotta do...lol. Here are a few pictures from all of the Christmas gatherings. enjoy

Just Cheesin'

We thought we would get the camera out and take a few pictures in front of the Christmas tree and these were too cute (of Mendi and Ben)not to post. Enjoy!

Happy Thanksgiving

Well, we made it back from spending Thanksgiving with Mendi's family. It is always great to see family and friends that we don't get to see very often, not to mention eating like kings and queens. Here are a few pictures from Thanksgiving...

Ben loved Uncle Don's tractors, and let me tell you, these are some serious tractors!

A special thanks to Mamaw for making the vest and the chaps. They look great!

One Vote!

I will let this video say the words, which are far better than I could say.

Fall Is Here!

Last weekend the whole family went out to Moore Farms. The kids had a blast getting to see the farm animals, going on a hay ride, picking out a pumpkin from the "pumpkin patch", and cooking out on an open fire. Here are just a few pictures from the activities.
