We live at.....

The crossroads of Lora Belle Lane and Hazel Dell Road.

A customer of mine has a mom who owns a sign shop. We have wanted to do this ever since we bought our land.

Hazel Dell was the name of the one room school house that was on this land when we bought it. Deb's dad and Jessi and Jenna's great grandpa went to school there.

Deb had the most wonderful grandma named Gramma Lori. Her real name was Lora Belle (Williams)Allen. She was her dad's mom. She used to own this timber that we now live on. Deb has the greatest memories of walking this timber with Gramma Lori and picking up walnuts, hickory nuts, and beautiful Sweet Williams. Those are Deb's favorite wildflowers.

As fondly as we talk about mom, Deb talks about Gramma Lori. The street sign was one way of honoring her. The other is how much we appreciate the outdoors.

God has blessed us so much in family. I know that everyone agrees that while the Bozarth family is awesome, we have some remarkable people in our extended family as well. Would love to read about some stories about remarkable family members from the outlaws. As in older days, family stories passed down form our rich heritage.

Thanksgiving

Besides my beautiful wife who I can't live without, these are the best reasons why I am thankful this year. I love all you kids and can't tell you how proud I am of each and every one of you. Thank you Lord for my family.

Deer Camp

What happens at deer camp is supposed to stay at deer camp but......... Nice finger Jordan!

Your momma would not be proud. We had a great time and Brandon and I had a blast. Thanks alot guys.

Farm fun

Well, another harvest is over at Debs parents. Francis had a great crop of soybeans and corn on his small farm. Deb helped haul corn in again. She loves to drive the big Ford tractor and help her dad. Harvest time is a wonderful time to remember to thank the Lord for His provision.
Harvest time is also a time for snakes. I caught this 3 foot bull snake in our front yard. Deb ran over it with the lawnmower and didn't even hurt it. We released it a few minutes after this picture was taken. It's no wonder Riley likes this kind of stuff. That's her hand touching it. Better to get use to them now than be petrified as an adult.

Must see TV

Biggest Loser

For those of you that watch this show. I dislike Heba, Vicky, and Brady. They give fat people a bad name. We are supposed to be jolly. They are evil. The show this year is in no way inspirational. It is all about screwing the next person. Unless your Heba, Vicky, or Brady. Heba is Swahili for evil witch.

new tradition

As you can see by the date on the picture, we now carve pumpkins after Halloween. No particular reason. It was warm out. They were cheap. We hadn't carved any yet. Deb wanted roasted pumpkin seeds.

They look so cool when they are lit up.

Happy Nov. 2nd pictures. A new holiday in this Bozarth house.

What can i say.......

Well the bowling results were not what I was ready for. I use to bowl a fair bit. I really thought I could beat all my family members. I thought Deb might give me a run for my money, but it was actually one of my daughters who beat me by the score of 221-196. No, not Jessi. She's in Kansas City. No, Jenna is still away at college. No, Emma is busy with basketball.

That's right. Riley Jo kicked her daddys butt. She is really good. I think I will challenge her to a speling conntest.
