Oops, sorry y'all, Mommy just pointed out that I seem to have missed out on some of the Countries/Territories we've been to on our Random Fact # 5. We've been to all those mentioned before, plus;
Cuba, Dominica, Barbados, Hungary, Turkey, St. Martin, the US Virgin Islands, and Honduras! Hmm, can you tell we like to travel?
God Bless, Bethany

Well, we've been tagged twice now, first by the Mortons and then by the Antonions. I'm going to do the Morton's 7 Random facts first. Since the Mortons already did the "3 Kids married into one family" fact, I'll have to think of something else. :)
O.k. Here goes :)
1- Our family of 6, plus a dog lived on a small boat for almost a year. It is by the grace of GOD we did not sink, blow up when our engine was on fire, get hit by the hurricane Olga, or get lost. Or, and this was Kressy's and mines greatest fears, get eaten by sharks :)
2- Daddy was Valedictorian when he graduated from High School and Mommy was Home Coming queen!!
3-Daddy's side of the family used to own part of Signal Mountain in TN, and during the War between the States they charged a toll to pass over!
4-If you haven't already heard (Darthy;) our however so many great Grandparents were {EDIT} Big Jake Troxell & Beloved Woman/War Woman Cornblossom, (both mortally wounded at the massacre of Ywahoo Falls, KY) the cousin of Sequoyah. She has a special marker off the high way in Kentucky that marks where she is buried. Grandaddy Jake has a memorial marker at the entrance to Ywahoo Falls -- placed there (I believe) by the US Army in recognition of his service during the 1st American war for Independence.
5-Between all my immediate family members we've travelled to the Bahamas, Puerto Rico, Peru, Romania, Latvia, Holland, Aruba, Martinique, Dominican Republic, Turks and Caicos, Kazakhstan and Germany.
6-More than half of our children are adopted, with there being 4 biological and 7 adopted!!
7-We have owned at least 10 cameras in the last 7 years, and our dishwasher usually has to be fixed every year around Thanksgiving or New Years! It's a holiday "Tradition" :)
Well, that's all folks!
Here's the rules:
1. Link the person who tagged you and post the rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 random and/or interesting facts about you / your family. 3. Tag 7 random people at the end of your post and include links to their blogs. 4. Let each person know they've been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

A well loved sister
Waving farewell!!!
Mom and I laughing over something
Daddy in front of Terra Vista Church, where my Grandfather used to preach
"Bethy, I'm gonna take a picture of you!"
The house behind the Church where Daddy lived when he was 10
The pine tree that we are standing in front of used to be about Mauds height when Daddy played there
Dear Mother! You match the fall colors around you!! How lovely
The house where Daddy lived when he was 6 and 7
Standing with the kind gentleman that lives there now
The boys playing where Daddy used to play as a boy! How special!
"I don't think that's how it looked when I was here"
