Ok. So now that that was successful, I'll try again.

This blog is intended to keep family and friends, both near and far, both old and new up to date on the happenings of our family. Here are some pictures of our family.

Our family visiting the Duggar's and the Bate's Family. The Bate's are our dear friends from college. We visited with them this summer down in Arkansas at the Duggar Home.

Michelle Duggar, Kelly Bates and me. We had fun shopping this day.

Jim Bob Duggar, Gil Bates and Shane. Notice Jim Bob on crutches. He got clobbered in a game of jailhouse with the kids. The fellas had all the kids while us ladies had a girls' day out. Poor Jim Bob got the short end of the stick that day.

Alexis with Michaela Bates and Janna, Jinger, and Jessa Duggar. They had fun "doing hair do's" that night.
