About Us
- Joel and Katy
- Joel and Katy started dating in December of 2004 and were instantly inseperable. By January of 2006 we were married in Zihuatanejo, Mexico among 20 of our closest friends and family. We lived in Fairbanks, Alaska for the first year and a half of our marriage, then moved to Yellville, Arkansas. We love living in the south and God has blessed us with truly amazing lives. To top it off, we now have a beautiful daughter, Mia!

My friend Tina made this turkey costume for her kids, but we thought it would be funny to put Mia in it for Turkey Day!
Mia in a hay bale... ouch! pokey! We were taking pictures of her in an outfit that I wore when I was a baby. It's lookin' a little old, but I think it's cute that my mom kept some of my outfits :)
This is when Mia first learned to sit up, and rockin' the little pony tail :)

Joel's dad, Ernest, and his wife, Maria finally got to come see us and meet Mia for the first time over Halloween weekend. We went out to one of our favorite places called Mear's Bluffs and took some neat photos.
We had a great time visiting with them and we only wish the weekend would have lasted longer!
Mia LOVES being outside, as you can tell from her big grin over daddy's shoulder :)
The wind was a little rough on keeping her bangs out of her face!
I love this picture of Joel and his dad and Mia. SO cute!!!

At our restaurant, we hosted a Halloween party for our little town. We sent out formal invitations and the whole bit. Yellville isn't used to such a thing, and we weren't sure how it would go over. Our goal is to spice up this town a little and have them cut loose and enjoy life a little more. I think we were successful this night! We probably had 40 people come through during the night, which is great for Yellville. Since the party, we've heard many people say that they wished they would have come, so hopefully next year will be even better. We had a live band who did a spectacular job, we did an all you can eat taco bar, and had all sorts of snacks and random desserts. Here are a few of our closest friends:
Sonja and Tonya displaying their pumpkin (we had a decorating contest where teams could only use the random stuff we put in a bag to decorate the pumpkin with. They didnt win, but their costumes are adorable. hee hee)
Mr. President Obama... my cousin Giancarlo, and Hillary Clinton, his girlfriend Daisha.
My dear friend Tina (who also works for us), and her husband Josh. She drug that ball around all night and almost tripped SEVERAL times on it...
Nathan and Kaci Rogers... how cute!
A really neat family, also my cousins, Michael, Hali, and Darcy.
A member of Joel's collegiate class, an employee, and friend of ours, Kortnie!
Another part of my family, Tim and Lacey. They are Clara's parents from the last post... Only in Yellville will a costume include a real gun!!!
My little cousin Cora is all grown up now... Yikes!
There's always one... Braden. Good part is, he is a fantastic MMA fighter so he really can represent the Ninja outfit!

My dad and a relative of his planned a hay ride for a bunch of the kids in the area a few weeks ago (yes I'm a little behind on my postings...oops). It was a chilly October night, but we had a ton of kids show up, a big selection of warm chili to warm our bellies, and of course a lot of fun with family and friends.
To my friends in Alaska who, like me, don't have a clue what a hay ride is, or why on earth that would be a fun idea because it's always below zero in October in Alaska, I'll explain what went on... Dad lined a big flat bed trailer with bales of hay, and sprinkled it all over the floor of the trailer too. We sat along the bales in a big square while he pulled the huge trailer around with his truck. We sang some songs (I pity anyone who was listening...), enjoyed the fall air, and drove down to a cemetery. All of a sudden, there were screams and a white sheet shape running through the cemetery. That pretty much freaked the kids out. THEN... on the other side of the trailer, a guy came running out of the woods with a chainsaw. Yikes. That scared me too. Didn't know Dad was so into the whole halloween-scary bit. Anyways, it was entertaining to say the least. Mia slept through it....
A tad cross-eyed...
This is her before the hayride all bundled up.
This is her cousin Clara. They were born exactly a week apart. I don't think either one is too thrilled with the other!
