Again?
Dear Mom (part two) :
Last time you left me alone with Logan, I smelled like baby powder for a week. In my last letter I asked that you be more cautious with my play time with him. Well, since you did not heed to my advise, I have been targeted again--this time, with black paint. I understand that we were playing "pirates" and that Logan was just helping me get into character, but again...please be more careful.
Thank you,
Chase

DAD BROUGHT HOME A WHAT !?!
(click on image to play video, pause music on music player before watching)
My Montage 6/18/08
Great...one more person to make dinner for, except for this one is kind of a Diva--not too cold, not too warm, not too small, not too big...picky! 
My Montage 6/18/08
The boys have wanted a pet for a while and since Jake and I are both wussy allergics, this was the best we could do. Although, it started when Tanner insisted on having an alligator in our back yard as soon as we got to Florida, Jake said he'd compromise and get a turtle instead! Jake says that "beckham" is for the boys, but he is having the most fun with him. At night, after the kids go to bed, he gets the turtle out and lets it roam on the floor while he talks to it and hand feeds him!
The boys are in heaven, they love our new family member!

"Mom, there really are real alligators in Florida!"
There is a small lake on the U of F campus that was said to have alligators just roaming around in it. Tanner had been dying to see one close up, so we went to see it for ourselves. Right before giving up...we found a small one, very still in the water, right below a bridge.

6 days and 2410.91 miles later...
I posted about our time here in Florida, but I thought I'd share all the in between time that was so much fun. The kids received an overall grade of a B for their time spent in the car. And call me crazy, but I wouldn't be totally against doing it again!
After Jake's Graduation (which we are grateful to Jake's parents, sister and Gma Helen for making the big trip for) we packed up the truck and left the next day. Our first over night stop was in Phoenix, AZ and then we traveled to San Antonio, TX to visit with Jake's brother, Chad, his wife Molly and their three kiddies. We were there for 4 days. We spent two days at Sea World and the rest of the time getting Jake's car to work and fixing the rear AC in the SUV! Thank you so much to the "other Craguns" for being such great hosts.
First stop, Phoenix!

Our next over-nighter was in Louisiana...interesting place! Then we woke up that next morning and finished the trip until we arrived home!

Our first week in Gator Land
The house!
We are really enjoying our first week in Gainesville. The people are very friendly, the traffic isn't bad and even Tanner noticed, "there are so many green trees everywhere we go." We are getting settled in are ready for life to get back to normal. Being in a house has been a breath a fresh air. After being in a apartment for 8 years with three busy boys, we were ready for more space. The boys are still waiting to see a real gator and were disappointed that they aren't just walking around everywhere. We hear there are a few floating around on a small lake on U of F's campus that we are going to go check out! He are some pictures of our first week...
Our first meal in the new house!
The back yard!
My new table! (still awaiting two more chairs)
A real ice-cream man...it reminds me of when I was a kid! My kids thought it was a brilliant idea to have a man drive around the neighborhood in a van filled with ice cream! He comes at different times each day, so it's fun to anticipate when we'll hear the "ice cream music" (as Tanner calls it)
Doing laundry right in our house, no more laundromats...what a concept!
We saw this sign near the church. We thought "yea right" until we almost hit a turtle crossing the road on our way home! 
This is the kind of road kill we get here...armadillos!

Thank you to Grandma Kelli and Jake's sister, Jessica for all your much needed help. They helped us tie up loose ends after the movers came and also drove with us across the country. Jessica actually stayed with us in Gainesville for almost a week after we arrived to help with settling in and watching the boys. THANK YOU SO MUCH, we couldn't have done it without you!!
