Dreams Come True in Ohio

We've had many dreams come true in Ohio.  From childhood Christmas wish lists fulfilled to school accomplishments.   Winning National Championships to marrying each other.  20+ years of dreams coming true there.  But now, now another dream has come true in Ohio for my dear, sweet hubby.

There she is.  We are the proud owners of this beauty.  Found after countless hours years of research and evaluating and contemplating.  Found in, you guessed it, Ohio.  Lebanon no less, where my brother lives.  We had already been planning a trip up to visit family and for the harvest, so the fact that we could also slip on over and sign some paperwork was a mega plus!

She's ours!

First time sitting his tooshie in that seat!

Looking forward to making many great memories as a family in the ol' family truckster!

The girls with Aunt Meghan.  We got to visit with her and my brother over dinner after the purchase!

In other news from Ohio, we got to visit Aunt Faythe and Uncle Don and do a little Halloween crafting!

We met baby Brooks for the first time

We played with the pigs at Aunt Abby's and Uncle CJ's

And played with walking sticks...on our face.  Maybe, really just one  of us did that.

We played with cousins, harvested some beans and played in some beans

These boys had some serious conversations and work to do!

Then we headed back home in our new ride!  Fueling up and washing up for the long haul!

Date with Daddy

While Whitney and I went to a baby shower, daddy and Lindsey spent some time together at the Home Depot workshop and the park!

Real Life

A girl, a book and her cat...

Raspberries

This girl loves her some raspberries!

Treat Yo Self 2014

This year we girls treated ourselves back to Seaside.  It's such a lovely place.  And we had a fantastic time again.  We pretty much acted like fools the whole time, talked a lot about a variety of topics, ate lots of food, partook in night time bike rides...whatever we wanted to do!  It's pretty much the closet thing we can get to nowadays to reliving our youth with very little responsibility.  So thankful for time with friends and all the hubbies and others that made it happen for us.  You'll be happy to know that we did indeed treat ourselves.

The early crew heading out

We made it!

Creepy heads.

Game night fun...don't even ask.

Just because it was there, and they could.

Bike rides.  Always a blast.

Heading back home to reality, but refreshed and thankful!

All Things Girl

Gwinnett County Fair

This was our first year to go to the Gwinnett County Fair!  We had fun!  Rides, snacks, shows, games, prizes...Fun was had by all!  This year they loved the fun houses!  But they also were excited for the old stand bys, the caterpillar ride, the hamster balls, and the giant slide.
