Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

After a long hard day I go through my email and find this fabulous picture from my Dad, and suddenly life was worth living again....So I thought I would share..so

I give you Grandma DeeAnn as a VERY convincing Snow White.

P.S Maddy, you make a very witchy witch.

P.P.S Keep these pics coming Dad, Iam running out of material down here.

Our New Diggs

First off, a big thanks to Maycie for your hard work during the move.

We have arrived in our new town and it is very Bizzare. It reminds me of Radiator Springs. We had some people come and help us move in wich was nice. Especially the guy who handed stuff out of the truck and called loudly the contents of which he was handing off. Every time. Glad we put all the unmentionables in non see through containers.

This is the view that we get to see, It is so much nicer than seeing a hundred other houses that look exactly like yours.

This is the Kid's school wich is a whole other post in itself. Let me just say one lunch lady, and old fashioned desks that open from the top.

They also have much of the same playground equipment that I had when I was a kid. Riley is currently trying to master the "cherry drop" on their bars.

"The Post Office" look familiar Meadow?

And finally, the part the kills me. This is our church. It is very little house on the Prarie. I was told that is was bought from the Baptists for One Dollar. ONE DOLLAR!? I know that Mormons are bargain shoppers, but really.

Note the crooked steeple, maybe this brought the price down. Cody said it was probably when they broke the sides of the cross off to make it a straight steeple. That made me laugh. Hard.

Were out of Here

Our Junk is packed.

Our Goodbyes are said

Whatever didnt fit in the Uhaul will be left on the curb and is free for the taking.

You better be fast, our neighboors have been circling like vultures after we gave a few things away already.

We are already to move to our new tiny little town in the country

All I have left to do is lose my front teeth and learn to cook Rattlesnake.

Queen for a Day

Happy Birthday Cody!!!!! Happy 31st Birthday, you stud muffin.

You are a queen everyday to us.

P.S. The first picture was taken a while ago after Cody won a game of Pretty Pretty Princess, making both kids cry.
