2016-The Best Is Yet To Come!

January 7, 2016
 
   Happy New Year! We didn't even make it up long enough to see the ball drop, but we had a great party at Holly and Evan's house! It was especially fun to see the kids get dressed up and enjoy the evening. Bradyn loves his cousins.

  Looking forward to a new year and a year full of new adventures! Building a fire and drinking homemade Merlot while watching back to back episodes of "Shameless" is definitely at the top of my list this month! Darren did very well with the fire and the wine. I could get used to this! :D

At Christmas Time, All Hearts Come Home

December 28, 2015


What a special Christmas this was for all of us. Bradyn's first with all of his family.  He was spoiled rotten, of course. We loved being together with everyone again. There's nothing like being home for Christmas!  Six years have gone by since Darren and I were both able to be home. It was an unforgettable two weeks!

Winter is Here! Finally.

December 15, 2015

We have been waiting for some snow to stick and it finally has. Although it's powdery and not great for snowman building, we'll take it! Bradyn and I had a great time throwing it around, but we didn't stay outside long. The temps are getting cooler every day and 25 degrees wasn't much fun.

 

  

Fried Turkey

November 25, 2015

  The house survived Darren's first attempt (on his own) to fry a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner and it turned out perfectly!  Our watchful eyes waited impatiently for the bird to cook. Fire extinguisher in hand! We had invited some single airmen over to join us devour it, but only had a few people show up. Not a bad thing in my opinion! Look at all t his goodness!! Beautiful day followed by the Beaver Moon.
