Here's our college town home away from home!

Within lives a family with big hearts and a big home =).

They've given us an open invitation whenever we're in the

area. This was an old run down farm house. It took

a year to totally re-vamp. It's very cozy inside!

Ariel was able to escape the dorm life and stay here

with us this weekend.

Yippee!!!

Here's the birthday girl!
We had a wonderful 80 degree day to celebrate.

This brought an extra shine to the faces and extra

fun to the day!

Sister love!

Each year of Ariel's birthday we would always

take a trip to the pumpkin patch.

This pic is for old times' sake.

These were actually grown here in the yard.

Every vegetable she planted grew with leaps and

bounds! To what do we owe this bountiful

harvest?

Cow Manure!

=)

Here we've got

Little Olivia(with the red shirt) and

Erin is next in line (wearing the same

color as Brit)

then comes Brit, Air, Gabby, and Erica in the front row.

"Livvy" is a cutie pie!

This is the one way Ariel can play volleyball successfully!

With a BIG ball!

(Actually she's just like her mom)
= )

Here's Shelley! The lady of the home... she did sooo

much to make Ariel's day special!

Grillin' and chillin'!

Mmmm...mmmm....good!

Make a wish!

They turned a barn into their jewelry store! It's very

nice inside.
