Visiting the Jones Family

It was a blessing to be invited to visit the Jones Family Ranch once again! We always have such a wonderful time of fellowship and the Lord enabled us to have BEAUTIFUL weather.  We went to a really nice park in Westerly. Next, we were treated to a wonderful dinner at the Neal home where we had a great hymn sing. Finally, after Sunday Worship we were treated yet again to a wonderful time of food and fellowship at Jake's parents home. We always enjoy our visit to Rhode Island and are so blessed to have such wonderful friends!  Thanks so much to the Jones Family, the other Jones Family and the Neal family for making us feel so welcome and at home.

 Here's what happens when 3 boys get a hold of a little girl's wagon! The kids were all outside while the adults were inside relaxing. We peeked outside the window to find them taking turns doing THIS...

Lost Item!!!

After weeks of wiggling it around, Joshua lost his front tooth!! Now he's all set to play hockey...

It's FINISHED!!

The kitchen is DONE!!! WOO HOOO!!! Enjoy the before & after (we had lots of fun w/ the pictures.)

 

***Remember how worried Brian looked before the project??? What's with that face now? How about a little humility, ROSA!!!
On a serious note; the Lord worked out every single detail for which we are ever so thankful!

Camping with the Parmelee Boys

All "the boys" set out on a camping trip and roughed it for 2 days.  The first day was tough as the fire wood was a little wet, but the next night we had a nice raging fire going to keep warm. Special thanks to the Lord for holding back the rain and giving us great weather. Also, thanks to the Parmelee guys for the pictures and for finding a great camping site. Even though it was cold at night, everyone had good sleeping bags!

August-September 2010

...We've been super busy and haven't had much time to post new pix!  We did lots of things...went to Massachusetts, celebrated Caleb's 5th Birthday, visited Sandy Hook NJ (Twin Lights & Fort Hancock), Liberty Science Center & the beach near Grandma's house. Lots of fun!

Steelers - Giants Game

Brian's co-worker is a NY Giants season ticket holder and was nice enough to give us tickets when the Pittsburgh Steelers were in town knowing that most of us like the Steelers. We didn't tell the boys we were going. We packed their jerseys in a bag and heard the back of the car erupt in cheers as we pulled into the stadium lot. (Our little Colts fan stood his ground when people yelled "Wrong Manning jersey, kid!!!") It was also just the 2nd game in the new stadium, so it was great to see all the fans excited over the new facility.  Before the game, we were able to see the teams practice up close...and then later in the game the security guard let us sit in the 2nd row...right behind the Steelers bench!!! The kids were SO excited!  (OK- so Daddy was a little excited too...)
