I have decided to try some more on this blogger thing. Here are a few pictures I found while going thru looking for some interesting ones to upload.....this first is Kelly on the sub in Conn. he wants to grow up and be just like Josh....This was not the sub Josh is on this is actually one that anyone can tour. When we got to go on the Alexander, they actually got it where we could look out the telescope and we had the hardest time getting Kelly away from it... This is what happens to you when you drive to Conn in a U-haul....you notice I am not in the picture.....I am the one that made them this way because they put me in the middle.....

(IF THIS NO LONGER MAKES SENSE I HAD TO REMOVE PICTURES....SORRY)

This is a really cute puppy that came to stay at our house but we have lost her because now all that is left is a really big horse....I'll get Ashley to get me a current picture so you can see how much she has grown...

This is my other two babies, Dixie is the black one she is getting really old, Mason is the brown, he was actually given to Amanda by Josh a few years back when they were in high school.....He didn't want to move to Conn. it is to cold up there...
Well that is all the pictures I can find for now....there is not much going on with our family right now. The end of 2006 was so busy with the wedding, moving Amanda to Conn and then Christmas, it is kind of nice that things have slowed down.

We are now getting more serious looking for land to buy so that we can fish, hunt and just relax away from the busy city life....We took a trip to east Texas this weekend, we drove around looking at serveral properties but not with much luck, nothing just hit us as this is it.....We did thou find some really good resturants, which I have decided could pose a problem what with driving eating driving eating driving some more.....think we better start walking the land instead.

Our house has really gotten quite...you know we had four children and there always seemed to be something going on...slowly they have moved on, oh yes they went away to college, but that was different, it was still like they were here. Then Justin got married and even thou they don't live that far away, it just seems like it is hard to get together very much...then Amanda got married and moved away to Conn. now that is really far and after driving there it makes you realize how far it really is. At least with Justin if we want we can get together iwe can but with Amanda, well you know...I can't wait for April. Then Josh is going to college and living in his own apartment he is so independent that even thou he is not married we do not see much of him. And Ashley lives here or should I say sleeps here....seems she is gone more than here. All this said enjoy your family while you have them near. Even thou sometimes it seems you will never make it because they are always wanting or needing something, alway fighting or just plain getting on your nerves...just be sure you give them a extra hug at night because the time goes really quick and before you know it they will be gone. I am very proud of all of my children and I want them to be happy in their journey of life. I pray for them every day....I Love you all....
