Our new amazing home!

Nope, we didn't die or fall off the face of the earth. :) Weddings and the move have kept us pretty occupied. But at the moment I find myself with a little free time to post some images of our new home. So, without further ado, may I present our house!

The Living room
The view from the living room.The kitchen, I love the double ovens and the tile!The hallway from the front door to the kitchen area.The patio/rose garden. :)The stairway to upstairs. Notice the area above the closet- this is where Chris "thinks" he is placing his grizzly mount.Top of the stairs, looking into the master bedroom.View of master bedroom. Doors go to deck.Short hallway to master bath. Two walk in closets for him and her.My bath. Suppose I should get some kind of privacy curtain for the window?Master bedroom deck.Bonus room/school room/playroom/craft room/major selling point for us.Patio area. Overlooks our small lake/big pond.And as an extra bonus, right acrossed the street from our house is access to fingerlake. There is a dock and a great shallow area for the kids to play in. I am thinking we need to invest in inner tubes soon!
So there you have a small glimpse of our new home, now you'll have to come see it in person!

Big brothers bushy buckets a bust but bunko babes bailout boys business!

Sorry about not updating this earlier; we've been crazy busy buying a new house and trying to find a renter for our current home. The boy's business wasn't as profitable as we expected. As their official managers we must take some of the blame. We failed to account for loss (plants that didn't grow). We also had grandiose visions of people stopping by to buy up every rose we had available. That didn't happen.... but we didn't exactly give it a all we had. We stayed at our "HOT SPOT" for about an hour. After Calvin had to go to the bathroom, Raegan emptied out my wallet and spread my Credit Cards all over, Gunner and Tucker getting tired of holding the signs we bagged it. But not all was lost; the kids did make a little spending money (well..... if we return the 10 that didn't grow, Dad purchases 3 for his lovely wife, Dad covers the cost of "misquoting" someone for two roses, and we don't include the cost of heating the garage to 70 degrees through a month of winter) the kids made some money....if we fudge the numbers correctly (can anyone say Enron). Tucker was very concerned about the bottom line; he even starting to tear up when we left after being skunked on the side of the road. He didn't want to "owe" Mom and Dad. Gunner and Calvin were much less concerned about the bottom line; they couldn't wait to get home. We owe a ton of thanks to the Bunko clan, they definitely bailed us out. Not sure if we'll do it again next year... if we do it will be for a project and not a business.

Easter Egg Hunt

Easter at Grandma and Grandpa's house is so fun! It started with the kids hunting for the eggs that Uncle Kris and Grandpa hid away. All the grandkids love the hunt. I have to say that it was super difficult for me to not "play". I am so competitive, that I am sure some of the kids would have gone home crying because Auntie Karla got all the eggs. So, I stayed back with the other adults, and all the kids were happy. The Easter Egg hunt was followed by good food, and great company.

Baptism

Our biggest little man was baptized on Easter this year. Chris and I had been talking with him for awhile about it, and we really wanted to make sure he knew what it was all about and that he wanted to be baptized because he believed in what he was doing. He stood in the big tub with Pastor Larry and answered the questions that Larry asked so that everyone could hear. We are so filled with joy in his desire to follow Christ.

I wanted to put a video on here but can't figure out how to transfer video from the camcorder yet. Here are some pictures, sorry for the fuzziness, my eyes were a bit blurry at the time and I didn't realize that I was not fully focused. :)

sledding with friends

The kids had great fun sledding with the Coke's. In this video Tucker is riding with Riley and they crashed in a hole at the end of the hill. Tucker ended up with a pretty huge goose egg on his head, So, I apologize for the laugh at the end my dear boy.

The Taurus

When I sold my Taurus I had a spare set of tires for it, but I could only find 3 when I handed over the keys. I found the other tire and went to deliver it today and happened to ask how the Taurus was running. He said he put a new windshield in it for $250.00 and had the radiator flushed for $75.00. He said it fixed the heater and now everything's perfect. PERFECT you hear that. He said he's just 50 miles away from 300,000 miles. Good for him. Good for Bob buying my car of 8 years and fixing the heater for $75.00 and pushing it to 300,000. Good for good ol' BOB. Congratulations to him!...... I SOOOOOO happy for BOB and his NEW CAR. I'm so happy that I can't stop crying, I'm so happy I'm laughing through my tears.
