Drive Home

On the way home we drove through Northwest Arkansas. Since we lived there right out of college and Ashley was born there, we had to stop and drive by some places. We went past the church we attended, then by Rich's old work- Walmart headquarters. Then drove over to my favorite Chinese Buffet in Rogers.After that we went to drive by the hospital Ashley was born at, and was surprised to find it was no longer a hospital!

Then we went and drove past the apartment we rented for one month before we moved into our house and then our old house and pointed out to the kids the tree and bushes that we had planted when we lived there.


On the way home I just had to take this picture of Angela... the headphones broke and the little tension thing that keeps it small enough to stay on a childs head had broken, so we figured out a new way to keep it nice and snug on her head... a rolled up pull-up! lol! None of the other kids would use it, but she seemed to be fine using the modified headphones. :)

It was a fun short trip and we had a good time, but it's always nice to get back home.

Sounds like a great trip, Julie! How fun to get to show your kids the places you used to live when you started out.

Lol @ the headphone "fix", very clever! ;o)

I love your page, it's so cute!

That so funny about Angela and the headphones. I just have to tell you that we have done the exact same thing on an airplane! It solved the problem quickly. I have also used hair clips on the smaller ones. Keeps them in place. Someone should really invent better headphones for kids :)

House projects

After a few weeks of Rich working from home, we decided that we needed to do some moving around of stuff in the house.  The exercise equipment needed to be taken out of the office, and we made the decision to dismantle Alex's room since it's downstairs and that would become the new exercise room.  His stuff got packed up, and the room was painted and the treadmill was put into that room (which was a feat of it's own!  It won't come out of that room until we move away, and maybe not even then! lol! The office got a coat of paint as well and two of the bathrooms.  Now the entire house (except for closets) has been painted since we had moved in 3 years before. But then the biggest house project was thought of, and debated and decided on.  We had always said that we would like to redo the kitchen in this house, and decided to tackle the project.  We found cabinets online we liked and worked with a company to decide on our cabinet layout, and we ordered them....

2013 Tour of California: days 12, 13- Six Flags Magic Mountain, Hollywood

Sunday, June 2nd.   After church in Santa Rosa, we made our way south to Six Flags Magic Mountain. Monday, June 3rd.   Ashley had been waiting forever to go to this amusement park.  She is the thrill ride queen and can't ever get enough of the fast crazy rides.  Rich's brother Dave and his family (who the kids and I stayed with on the drive out) drove out from Arizona and joined us as he and Amanda are thrill ride junkies too. :)  We had a great time- so good that I didnt take very many pictures, but we spent two and a half days at Magic Mountain and had fun the whole time. Tuesday, June 4th.   After spending a few more hours at Magic Mountain, we drove down to Hollywood.  We stopped and walked along the walk of fame and found the stars and handprints of famous actors we like.  Most of those pictures are on Ashley's phone, so I'll have to add them later. :) That evening we checked into our home for the next four nights- Disney's Grand California H...

Our Dog Tale...

So... we have spent the last three weeks looking at puppies online, finding one that would be great for our family. We found an adorable little 4 month old black lab from a lab rescue in Tulsa, about an hour and a half drive away. We contacted them, and filled out the adoption application paperwork. Sent pictures of our fenced back yard, and got approved to adopt her. The lab rescue had named her Regina, for their records mainly- they generally called her puppy and girld so that she would easily adapt to a new name. We bought a large crate (she would get big!) and food bowls and a collar, leash and tag for her and on Saturday we drove to Tulsa to pick her up. The lab rescue was doing an adoption fair, so they had all the dogs they were trying to adopt out at a Petsmart and we meet them there. We got there around 1pm. As I was walking over there were a few people asking about a cute little puppy, and I overheard that it was Regina, and she was being adopted... I then said that I was Jul...
