Have a Happy One House

They say twenty-five years is celebrated with silver.  Happy Birthday house.  It's a jubilee all week long to honor living in ours since mid-February 1988.   Here are some unique facts and figures about the ole homestead:

Originally it was going to be a rambler style; but we decided a two-story worked better on a trip to Leman Caves discussing the pros and cons.

The .42 acre property was a sheep pasture for neighbors who bought some sheep from my parents before we got the land. 

Little accidents:  Ben Edwards broke his two front teeth, both Jory & Emily Allred fell off deck, Brayle broke arm on trampoline, Makayla did too jumping on bed & sundry other hurties. 

Jenn loved to take all her friends on tours of the house for several years.
Mauri got the biggest bedroom, but had to share it the longest with Jory.
Alicia's friend Aubrey, got hooked on watching soap operas here, because her folks wouldn't let her watch at home.
Breann learned piano, cooking, was baptized here and on and on.
Jory found great friends, football, mission and more. 

Our very own kitchen chef.

Mail box whimsical house.

Back Deck with our fowl friends.

Back yard with toys and tikes.

Having fun in front of home.
