LAND!

Wow we finally did it! we bought land! we will start building hopefully in the next week or 2, we are just waiting on what they call a 911 address (street number) and then we can start building, hopefully any day now. you will get plenty of photos and updates about that. But yeah! its a perfect 3 acres in the middle of farm land, great distance from church, Caleb's work and Grandma and Grandpa.
very exciting.
here are some photos of the land itself. The group of flags you see is where the house is going to go and the one flag on the right towards the road in the video is where our property starts. we are the 3rd piece of land in.

Below is the exact type of house that we are building, same windows and everything only different colors our house will be yellow with a charcoal roof, with white framing and dark blue accents. don't worry its going to be great. Just to give you an idea of what to expect.

Jaylee's Dedication

Jaylee was dedicated on June 12th 2011
It was fantastic with all the family and friends that came for it.

Visitors

Groot Opa, Opa and Oma, Karsten (a cousin from nz) all came to visit - and all at the same time, so we celebrated Groot Opa's 90th birthday, Oma's 60th and birthday Anna's 2nd birthday. the only way to do that was with a good bbq.
It was so awesome that Groot Opa could come visit, it was a real honor and I am so happy he got to meet 2 more great grand children, and they got to meet him. It was really great.
Also really great that Opa and Oma could come, Opa got to meet Jaylee and also that Karsten could come and meet the whole family, and he got to see Opa again.
