the start of something new

We Bought a HOUSE! We are so excited!!! After having looked on and off again for a house since we have been married we finally did it. It is exactly what we have been looking for. So pack your road trip snacks and come visit us WAY out in Queen Creek :)
 After having put in bid after bid and never getting anywhere on all the foreclosed and short sell homes, we finally found a new build and for still around the same price. It is wonderful! It wont be done until around October or November and our lease ends here at the end of July. So this week we are moving in with the in laws :) We are very grateful for them, it will be nice to save up some money before we get into the new house. It has been crazy around here getting everything packed up. Although I'm not in a huge hurry to be homeless, I am SICK of living with boxes EVERYWHERE! It will also be nice to get some stuff out of here so we can paint and clean up the house before our move out inspection. 
This is model of the house we bought, isn't is beautiful!!! 
Here is our lot, #130 :) The most beautiful piece of dirt I have ever seen :) 

Liberty super excited to have a house, with lots of room to run around in. And it will even have CARPET!!! :) 

We will be sure to take lots of pictures as the building progresses.

Willis Family Reunion

The trip in our week of fun was my family reunion. It has been a VERY long time since the last Willis family reunion, 14 years I think is what we decided. So getting together for a much needed reunion was so much fun. We got there Friday morning, with a very wonderful surprise waiting for us. KELSEY!!!! last min she said she couldn't go because of school, but the wonderful family member she is she decided to skip class and come. We were SHOCKED and happy to see her. I love my family, they are all so crazy and so much fun. We enjoyed eating, playing games and just sitting around and talking. We stayed in an old church house the they have now turned into a HUGE cabin. It was fun to see all the old "church stuff" that was still in the house, like the baptismal font, the chapel dividers and old benches. It was the perfect place for a family reunion. 

We had a blast playing water Olympics games. In this game they had to pass a water balloon back with only their feet. 
Liberty and I watched from the side lines :) 
Jeff and Liberty that night and the awards ceremony and skit night. 
We had a HUGE dance party, it was SO much fun. Kelsey and I were so tired but could not stop dancing :) If the music is on we have to dance. It started to get late, and suddenly it turned into a dress up dance party haha this place had some AMAZING dress up 
Even the "adults" got into it. 
Ya were HOT, we know it! 
It was a CRAZY night, my body was so sore the next morning, but totally worth it. Thanks girls for all the laughs and amazing dance moves! 


My mom and her siblings (and Grandma) 
Our fam, - Austin and Reggie :( 

All the great grand kids (that were there) 
Thanks again to all of those family members who put it all together, it was so much fun! 

Stay-cation

This year we decided to stay in town for Jeff's summer time off. We stayed at the Hyatt at Ganey Ranch (our favorite, this is where we stayed on our wedding night and we just love going back)  for 3 days and had SO much fun. Also the good part about this was that the first night my mom watched Liberty while Jeff and I celebrated our Anniversary by going out to dinner and enjoying our room and the pools with just us. Then I stayed and hung in the room while Jeff went and picked up Liberty. We had a great time. 
We spent all our time by the pool :) New to the Resort was this basketball hoop. We spent a good amount of time playing basket ball.

Happy Anniversary

Friday was our 2nd Anniversary! I can't believe it, two years and a 9 month old haha Are we crazy or what! :) I love our life, I would not change anything. Jeff thank you for all the love and laughter we share everyday. I'm pretty much the luckiest girl for scoring such a hottie and a good guy. Just look at him, do husband figures get any better than this? I think NOT! Here's to many more years together! I love you!

Happy 4th of July

We had a great 4th of July this year. We started off the day with swimming and Volley Ball. Jeff and his brothers played in the AJ Volley Ball tournament again this year, and some how I also got roped into playing. Lets just say I made a fool of my self, but it made Jeff happy that I played so I guess that's all that matters :) 
Liberty getting ready to to watch us play. She spent most of the time liking her wrist band. 

She didn't last long after the game, she was ready for a nap!

After swimming we headed home for another nap and to get ready for the BBQ at our house. Liberty helped me make the cake :)
