Fun at the Lake

Yesterday we took the kids swimming at the lake. All had a blast.  

Everyone took turns being buried in the sand

Elizabeth Grace enjoyed having her toes tickled

Tabetha Hope wasn't so sure she wanted to be buried until she saw how much fun the others were having

Tabetha Hope loved playing in the water more than playing in the sand.

All are begging to go back. Glad it is close to us!

I'm growing up!

Look who lost her first tooth. I think she has the most adorable smile.

Love you Elizabeth Grace

Settling in

We have survived the move with four kids, three dogs and a cat. Elizabeth Grace was sick on the second day of our trip with the stomach bug. Tabetha Hope cried for an hour because she was done with sitting in the car. Max the puppy did fabulous and slept the entire trip.

Brian has been busy turning our newly purchased three bedroom home into a five bedroom. While I have been adding the homey touches that say this house is ours. We still need to get a few presents for the kids for Christmas. I think I am the only one who has purchased a present so far and that one is for my honey. I would also really like to get a tree up but I don't think that will happen.

Packing!

Packing is not my favorite thing to do but I am so excited to be moving to much greener pastures. The kids are equally as excited and needless to say it has been a little crazy here....and we still need to do school...HA! Wait did I also mention that we just adopted a nine week old puppy?

Happy Gotcha Day!....belated

It was one year ago on the 21 that we traded our calm lives for complete insanity and I wouldn't trade it for anything.  I have grown so much spiritually and emotionally during this past year.  What a blessing it has been to bring home Tabetha Hope.  I love you my teeny tiny sweetheart.

updated picture coming as soon as I can figure out what i did with them ;)

Trip to the Pumpkin Farm

  Yesterday we took a trip to Andersons farm to pick pumpkins.  We had a great time and best of all, Tabetha hope didn't get overwhelmed (to much) and break down.  Elizabeth Grace was great and didn't run off, Yeah!

Tabetha Hope enjoyed the kiddie maze

Tabetha Hope wasn't so sure about the bumpy wagon ride

Gabriel petting a cow, the kids got to feed them treat pellets

Caleb panning for gems, the kids enjoyed this more than picking pumpkins

At home going through their rock and crystal collections

Gotcha! Three Years Home

Happy Gotcha Day! Elizabeth Grace.  You are Growing so fast. We enjoy the joys and challenges of having the privilege to call you ours. 

Elizabeth Grace and Tabetha Hope sisters forever
