We are in Starkville and loving it.
Our first weekend in Mississippi, a storm came through and blew down 3 trees in our yard. Bob got to buy a chainsaw and the boys had a great time watching the action. They had chairs and drinks and some even got to help clean up the mess.
The boys like the new bath tub, especially the jets.
We didn't like some of the residents in the back yard when we moved in. This is a picture of the first of 8 black widows we found. We used more pest control in the last 2 monthes than we did in 4 years in Atlanta.
This is us at the Noxabee wildlife refuge. The refuge here is more like a wild animal holding area for hunters, since hunting and fishing are more than welcome here. I don't think this is how it works in Washington.
There was a fun boardwalk going through a swamp that everyone ususally sees alligators in. We didn't see any alligators, but we also weren't being very quiet.
Here is the boys on there first day of school. Easton doesn't look very excited in this picture,
This is as close as we could get to smile. He was fine once he got to school, and having Carson there with him helps a lot.
These last two pictures are just bowen having fun with ice cream. It is just about time for a haircut huh?

That black widow spider is awful! Have you found any more?
Boys are so easily entertained by tools, that first picture is hilarious.
Your kids all look so different. They are so precious.
Good luck with the bug issue. The south is full of so many species of bugs. We discovered that living in Virginia!
We have tons of black widow spiders here in SC too! Hire a good pest control company and call them often! Our is called "Hired Killers". Mostly I just like to say in casual converstaion, "Oh, I am waiting for Hired Killers to come!" OR "Hold on one second, Hired Killers is on the phone...I really need to take this call!"
I still say Easton needs to be a Gap Kids model! Heck, all your boys are cute!
Miss you guys and think about you often!
Oh my gosh, Bowen's hair is awesome!!
Wow, that is a great post with lots of great pictures. Those spiders are soooooo scary! Kendall Nunley was bit by a brown recluse spider this summer when he was painting at my uncle's farm...he was hospitalized and then life flighted to another hospital after the venom was in his blood, and corroding his skin and bone and stuff. They thought at one point that they may have to amputate, it was horrible. Anyway, on a brighter note, love the hair and glad you are happy in starkville!
Amanda Sue Vivian - I just found your blog and was so happy that I can now keep track of you and your family. I had no idea that you were moving to Mississippi. Where abouts is Starkville? Your boys are adorable! I am glad that I have someone to relate with on the boy spectrum. They are busy, but so much fun! Bowen's hart cracked me up...I have had a few of those. I hope all continues to go well for you and you don't find many more blk widows!
