BGMC -- Bike Day

Wow!!! Thanks to all those who helped me donate $370.oo to BGMC (Boys & Girls Missionary Challenge). I had a great day on Sunday and rode 33 laps. ~ lots of miles!!!! I worked so hard that afterwards I fainted, but was really proud that I could help so much. Thanks for your money support and your prayers!! Thanks again, Zeke.

Mary Kay model

I love doing Chloe's Make-up and she loves
getting it done! The other night we were having
fun 'Girl's Night' with our Mary Kay make-up.
She wanted to have a spa night :) So we did
everything... washed her face, put on moisturizer
blush and even some mascara!! Doesn't she
look awesome. Right before I took this picture
she posed and said 'I love Mary Kay' --I think
they maybe should make a line for girls-- wouldn't
that be cute-- they could have their own little
facials. :)

freezing corn

this is the way we freeze the corn, freeze the corn, freeze

the corn, this is the way we freeze the corn so late on monday

night... :)

new kitten

Here is Chloe and our new kitten 'Sarafina'. Aren't they the
cutest in the world??? We love her lots--even Travis!!
She came from the Bakker's housecat- the only one of the
litter. And Janine trained her so well! Thanks Janine for
such a wonderful kitty!

Good Times

Missing Ellie

Some days are long without Ellie here to cheer us up. We miss her lots and wish her happiness while she is in Haiti. Hopefully she knows that we think of her many times throughout the day. Hopefully she know that when we say our prayers she is in them ever time. Hopefully she knows that when we play house (we do everyday) she is always one of the names we use for our sisters or friends or dolls or animals. Hopefully she knows we miss her kisses most of all, especially when we need a hug! We miss you Ellie. Take care. ~ Chloe
