So, what do you think...
Matt and I thought we should take this and stick it in our yard...and the tires are a great bonus...they'd make a nice outdoor end table of sorts.

Get To Know Us
We are a relatively normal family of four who love God, each other... and ice cream! We just finished the adoption of our youngest son from Kazakhstan and are busy living the roller-coaster ride of life with a teenager and a pre-schooler, but we are also praying that God will bless us with more. We aren't sure exactly what is in store for us next, but we have a feeling things will be a little crazy. But then again, if it wasn't, things would just be plain boring. Life is sweet!
