Our New Home!!!

YAY! We finally did it! We closed on our home Tuesday afternoon! We will be moving in Thursday Morning. We have loved living in town and being close to everything, but knew that with another 18 years ahead of us, the right thing to do was settle in for a while. We know we will be making lots of great memories here for many years to come ~ First we have to unpack ugggghhhh! We are all SO EXCITED to call our new place home!!!

Tagged By Kristin

Okay, so Kristin tagged us. We have been around for a long time so our 4TH photo file 4TH photo is a oldie! This was before Aleah was born. It was at the Lincoln County Fair. I think Chance was 5 years old (And Eric and I both in our 20's ~ We look so young & check out Eric's hair!!) Eric's dad had a TOTAL fascination with the tiger exhibit and probably spent a hundred dollars or more buying tickets to enter the exhibit and "Touch a Tiger" We were some of the recipients of the fascination. I think they had a bunch of little baby tigers you could go in and play with as well. Chance thought it was so cool. I remember he wore his "I Touched A Tiger" sticker for days.
Now I tag Tiffany and Nicla and 2 others without blog spots ~ My sista
Stephanie..... Lets see what you have (maybe your 1ST blog??) and Frank, Email me a fun picture okey dokey guys?????

More Joyah ~ We Just Cant Get Enough!!!

Gifts From Eric's Mom

Joyah received a great package today. Eric's mom sent a beautiful hand made butterfly and polka dot blanket and burp rag. But we fell in love with the darling hippo blanket! We can see Joyah snuggling up to this for years to come. Thank you to Eric's mom.

Homecoming In Jackson

Jackson's High School colors are black and orange. This always makes Homecoming fun because of the time of year. With all the Halloween paraphernalia on the store shelves, there is lots of choices! Aleah looked so cute for the Homecoming game I had to get her picture! Jackson lost by an embarrassing number but Aleah still had a great time. Chance was nominated for Prom King. He didn't win, but got runner up. He said "It was a honor just to be nominated" He left his sash hanging at home for the Homecoming dance and had to be in all the photos without it....... So sad :(
We get such a kick out of our kids! They definitely make life worth while!
