CRAZY BOUNCE

Well, last week my Dad (along with my sister Lisa's help) took the older Grandkids to John Ball Park Zoo. (See Lisa's blog for pics!!) This week he decided to take all 14, actually all 15 (Lisa's pregnant) to CRAZY BOUNCE. The Mom's decided that sounded like too much fun so we all went too! It was soo much fun. I took Eli and Sophia down a few of the big slides and they loved it! They both giggled and laughed. It was great. Sophia did get "stuck" on one of the obstacle courses, so I ran, well I guess I bounced in after her. I even had a chance to go thru the "SQUEEZE" part of the course. Not my favorite part. By the end of the time there, Sophia was going down one of the big slides herself....backwards, of course. We all had a great time. I can't believe how much fun it is to be a parent and watch your kids have fun. That was definately the best part.

After Crazy Bounce, we all went back to Mom and Dad's where Mom had a delicious meal waiting. We spent the rest of the afternoon in the pool. What a great day!

WE'RE IN!!!!!!!

Well after 9 months of being without a home of our own, we've finally moved into the house of our dreams! Most of the boxes are unpacked and we really feel settled in. We're so settled that we've decided to add a new member to our family. NO, I'm not pregnant but I do have a new baby! His name is Rosco and he's adorable. The younger 2 kids are deathly afraid but I think they're starting to get used to him.






God has been so good to us! This sunset is just another reminder that he is the awesome Creator!


Now that we have a kitchen of our own, Sophia has shown a real culinary interest!



We're having so much fun at the house and I can't wait to create so many more memories here. Thanks to all of you who have helped out at the house, with my kids, or have prayed for us thru this whole project!!
