Our baby Bear!

One year ago today we brought home our newest furry family member Bear! He has grown from 9lbs to 62lbs and makes us laugh. He can be naughty at times, but we love him no matter what. He is a cuddle baby for sure and loves to be in the middle of all the action. We love you Bear!

Pheasant Hunt

What a great Father/Son morning with the WGO Pheasant hunt.  We were able to get some good looking birds and spend time together hunting. 

Caelin's work...

Some of Caelin's work from open house this week. She admitted to saying the "p" word (poop) and wrote that she wanted to read more of the Bible in 2018. We must be doing something right!

100th day of school

The kids had so much fun celebrating the 100th day of school! Gamee and Grampee get ALL the credit for this one! Complete with pill bottles, grey hair, life alert necklaces, flip phone, attire, walker/cane, Mamee's jewelry and even fake ear hair.

Bearkat Bash

Such a busy day that started at 5:45am. Bearkat Bash was a success with 5K/1K runs by everyone in the fam! Then we were able to run some much needed errands and unpack the kitchen (finally)...so we can cook now. Moving has taught me patience and that it is sometimes ok to not have it together. In fact, it is ok to have no idea what is happening or where things are.

The BIG moving day!

Today was the big day!  We rented the largest Penske Truck ever and with the help of friends moved 15 years of memories over to our new house.  It was quite the busy day and VERY tiring!  We could not have been blessed more by our friends that spent an entire Saturday moving furniture.  Around 9:30pm Gamee started helping Cade/Caelin shower and get ready for bed while Grampee, Charles and I finished unloading the last of the Penske truck.  Suddenly, we heard water dripping.  We looked up in the garage to see a steady stream of water coming from the ceiling of the garage.  Needless to say, we sprung into action clearing boxes and furniture out of the way of water while Charles ran upstairs to stop the showers and Grampee turned the water off to the house.  After many trials, we figured out the leak was coming from the bathtubs upstairs.  It was quite the first night in the new house.  It actually made me giggle a bit and reminded me of the first night we spent at the Piney Way Drive house.  That was the night my Daddy fell asleep in the guest bathtub and flooding one entire side of the house.  Haha!  I guess this was Daddy visiting and saying hello in our new house.  I think the next house we have will have to have the water turned off for the first 24 hours of ownership (just in case).  Ha!
