Future home of the Atkinson Fam!!

i decided to make a seperate post for the house...after a couple days of seein' numerous houses we finally settled on one...thou, we have some work to do with it, it's a 3 bdr, 2 1/2 bath with a finished basement, and sits on 5 acres which includes apple, peach, and pear trees =) and...it already has a burn pile *L* it's only about 5 minutes from town, and after livin' here in killeen aka: overpopulated suburbia, we are really lookin' forward to havin' our own "space"...and LOTSA visitors!!! ;)

On the road again...

Last week we ventured up to KS to do some house huntin' and visitin'...the 10 hour drive was very exciting and chanllenging, to include stops to see a horse at a gas station and an "emergency diaper change" (*LOL* he hada blowout!!) all in all it was a great adventure!!

sleepy boys...it probably wasn't "safe" for me to

take a picture while i was drivin', *L*, but i couldn't

resist...joe "woke up" shortly after takin' this pic...

probably from all the swearvin' i was doin' =)

we stopped to fuel up and airen just had to

see the "horsey"...

Welcome to Junction City!!!

when we finally made it to JC, KS we stayed at the local Howard Johnson...one morning we woke up to find it had snowed!!!!

we enjoyed some fun times in the pool at the hotel, it was very covienient havin' it right across the hall from our room ;)

After our house hunting adventure we drove two hours NE to Gardner to visit

Joe got to meet Sunny for the first time, and punky enjoyed showin' off his carpentry skills *L*

"new toys"

my friend misti gave us this cool bounce house and pop-up tent/tunnel "thingy" *L* thou it took airen awhile to get use to the tents; the bouncer was like his times at wazoo's so he absolutely loved it =) we are gonna be headin' up to KS next week to do some house hunting and visiting so i won't be postin' until we get back, so til next time...take care and much love!!! XOXOXO
