Daniel and Brooke bought a new house and the rest of us are all just a wee bit jealous:)!  When Daniel and Brooke first described this house to us, we were less than impressed.  They bought a little ranch on 2 and a half acres in New River with a teeny tiny house on it (which they are expanding).  The mental picture was lacking.  When we arrived though, we found it to be truly a treasure.  It is a boy&#8217;s dream come true for sure.  It has chicken pens and a goose with a tiny caged pond, a goat pen, a pig pen, several horse stalls, an arena, outdoor office, separate play yard, wrap around porch, fenced off rose garden out the kitchen window, a garden with a scarecrow, a barn, a fountain, and even a courtyard with a built in grill and sink.  So lovely and peaceful.  Tanner keeps asking to go back to Noah&#8217;s house:).  Also quite a bit of trouble that those two little rascals could kick up so we will have to keep our eyes on them.  Their self appointed babysitter is a goat that came with the house:).  Her name is Berniece and she follows the boy&#8217;s everywhere.  Homer the pig was also part of the package.   Earlier this week, Brooke and Noah were eating breakfast on their front porch and Noah said, &#8220;Mommy?  Is this heaven?&#8221;  LOL.  Thus the name of the ranch&#8230;Patch of Heaven.<\/p>\n<p>The pictures won&#8217;t do it justice but I think you&#8217;ll enjoy them anyhow:)  If you hover over the pictures, you will be able to read the descriptions.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jimanddoni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/Apr\/IMG_7208.jpg\" alt=\"Ty and Graham\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jimanddoni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/Apr\/IMG_7217.jpg\" alt=\"Front Porch\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jimanddoni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/Apr\/IMG_7218.jpg\" alt=\"Fenced in Rose Garden off the front of the house\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jimanddoni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/Apr\/IMG_7219.jpg\" alt=\"Courtyard\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jimanddoni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/Apr\/IMG_7220.jpg\" alt=\"Fountain\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jimanddoni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/Apr\/IMG_7222.jpg\" alt=\"Tanner and Noah\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jimanddoni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/Apr\/IMG_7223.jpg\" alt=\"Tanner and Noah\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jimanddoni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/Apr\/IMG_7227.jpg\" alt=\"Silly Noah\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jimanddoni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/Apr\/IMG_7229.jpg\" alt=\"How did I know THIS would happen?:)\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jimanddoni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/Apr\/IMG_7233.jpg\" alt=\"Ty enjoying the outdoors\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jimanddoni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/Apr\/IMG_7239.jpg\" alt=\"My beautiful boy\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jimanddoni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/Apr\/IMG_7255.jpg\" alt=\"Need a Noah kiss?\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David, Darin, Dustin, Papa and Sweetie, and yours truly are all facing an &#8220;envy&#8221; issue.
