Back to blogging!

I wish I could say for the past 4 months, it's been all play and having fun - hence no blogging. That may not be the full story, but there has been some fun down here in Georgia. So here is what we've been up to the past 4 months. I thought the pictures were in order from Aug-Nov, but it's backwards. It's been a while since I blogged and forgot how to upload pictures, so please forgive me.

I look forward to get back to blogging, so much to talk about and share! Thank you for keeping me on my toes Aub and Tiffany :)

Ashlee's 7th Birthday, we rented a bouncy house and had quite a wild party! She wanted a jungle themed birthday this year. I was really pleased with the cake and how it all turned it. Thanks to family for all the wonderful help!

One of the fun things we have done a couple times since being here, is watch Rande jump from the airplane. Here is Rande's point of view:



Not sure why there is no big grin on his face??? hmmm?

In October we took the camper for the weekend up to Pine Mountain, Ga. They have a wild animal safari where you are able to feed zebras, camels, etc. It was a short, but fun family get away. We are loving having the camper. We can't wait to use it more next year.

Earlier in August when the weather was scorching hot! We went to Callaway Gardens to cool off with some friends. It was so much fun. They had a bouncy thing in the water, and the kids had a great time playing in the sand. It was free to get into as well! Gotta love free!




Cub Scout camp in October was a lot of fun for the family. It was a one night camp out and we met some good friends by going. The kids had a lot of fun playing tug-of-war, b b guns, archery, etc.





And last but not least, I celebrated yet another year. The big 3 1. Here I am trying to be a Georgia hillbilly. My friends thought I needed to be "georgiafied"


When we return from Christmas in Montana I hope to have lots of stories and fun photos to share. I also can't wait to share with you some joys/sorrows we have endured. It's all good stuff in the end, because we serve a mighty GOD who loves us.


Wishing you all a Merry Christmas!
