We usually watch Eloise Christmas while we decorate the cookies, but this year we watched Bambi :-) Sam had to leave early, so that's why he's not in any of the pictures. Maybe next time piano won't conflict with COOKIE TIME!!!! :-) Looking forward to next year!!

Christmas Tree 2011

2011-12-13T12:02:00.000-08:00

Last weekend, we went to Sundance Farm in Farmington, NH to get our Christmas tree. We took the dog with us this year. She wasn't very thrilled to go with us. She had to be on a leash and she's not used to that at all. It was fun though. I think this is my favorite tree so far.

Very pleased she found the perfect seat :-)

Thanksgiving weekend was very busy. On Thanksgiving, we drove to MA to visit both of my (Elisabeth's) grandparents. Unfortunately, my camera never left the car in MA, so I didn't get pictures of my grandparents. I'm a little upset at that :-( After MA, we traveled to CT to see my parents and my brother Josh and his family. We had a wonderful time with them all. I'm thankful for such a great family!!

Showing off my new picnic backpack

Freezing at Hall's Ledge, with Mount Washington in the Background

On October 30, we celebrated our 2nd anniversary. Praise the Lord for two whole years together. We went away to North Conway to celebrate. We had a wonderful weekend. We went on a hike up to Hall's Ledge. It was a very cold day for a hike. We brought a picnic lunch with us. But because of the below freezing temperature, we ate our wraps quickly and kept walking :-). It wasn't very romantic. The hike was amazing. The clouds were high enough for us to see Mount Washington. It snowed one of the nights we were in North Conway. During the snow storm, we went swimming in the hotels outdoor heated pool. :-) That was really fun. We had a great time.

Jeremiah walked across this little area, on his attempt back he had stones thrown at the water around him to try to soke him.

A big splash

A soaked Miah giving Daniel and very big hug :-)

Josiah flying his kite

On Mom's actual birthday, we bought Plum Tomato sandwiches for lunch and went to Harkness Park. It was a beautiful, but very cold day. We had a lot of fun together. We walked on the beach, flew kites and kicked a soccer ball around.

Josiah's Baptism

2011-10-27T03:29:00.000-07:00

They were all on top of Daniel at one point, but I missed that picture. Thankfully no one got hurt :-) It was all in fun.

The kids filling their cups with water to participate in the water fight that happened after all the apples were out of the bucket. I should have known :-)

On Saturday, we had a teen activity at our home. The kids ate lunch, played wiffle ball, had dessert, bobbed for apples, had a water fight and then played basketball to try to dry off :-) We had a lot of fun. We had a couple of kids from our neighborhood join us for wiffle ball and dessert. We are going to pray for them and hopefully be able to minister to them at some point.

Yard Sale

2011-09-20T03:17:00.000-07:00

I love shopping at yard sales. On Saturday, Mom and I stopped at this one yard sale where I got all of these wooden toys. I thought it was a cool find.

Visit with Mom

2011-09-20T03:14:00.000-07:00

These pictures are especially for Josiah and Jeremiah

Going apple picking

Mom came to stay with us for two days. :-) I was SSOOOO happy to have her here. We had so much fun doing everything. On Friday we went to a tea room for lunch, visited with the O'Lone's at their farm, went to Bugaboo Creek Steak House for dinner, then some shopping for fun. On Saturday we rose early. We did our devotions together and talked for a while. (I like the time I get to just talk to my mom) Then off we went to the Portsmouth farmers market. After the farmers market I decided to drive mom around Portsmouth and Newcastle for a little while. It's so beautiful in those areas. We finished our visit together by going apple picking. Then she had to go home :-(

An Adventure with Mom

2011-09-19T17:14:00.000-07:00

Mom and I decided to find a tea room for lunch on Friday. While I was at work she looked on the Internet and found the White Heron Cafe in Rollingsford. It took us a little while to find the place, but finally we saw little sign for the White Heron Cafe on a Salmon Falls mill sign. So we drive down in between all these old mills to find this place and finally found it in one of the lower mills. It was very interesting walking through the old mill. We got to the little shop and come to find out, it was their VERY FIRST day in business. Lol. How mom found this place I'll never know. They didn't have much to offer, being their first day. But we did have tea and a curry carrot flat bread (surprisingly was very good). It was a fun little adventure.

Garden

2011-09-15T02:32:00.000-07:00

My garden was very odd this year. My cucumber plants did wonderful. But then I had some plants that didn't produce anything (zucchini and squash) and my tomatoes weren't turning red. Frustrating!!! Two weeks ago I was ready to pull all of the plants up and prepare my gardens for winter. But when I went out, I saw the first shades of yellowish orange on one of my tomatoes. They were finally turning. Since then I've picked at least 10 beautiful red tomatoes off of the plants. Pretty soon I'll have enough to make some of Joyce Smith's spaghetti sauce :-)

Flowers

2011-09-13T04:25:00.000-07:00

After tropical storm irene, I thought my sunflowers were gone. But thankful here are pictures of them looking beautiful (at least the flower part of them :-) ) My mums from last year came back looking beautiful too. Now just waiting for pumpkins.

Painting

2011-09-13T04:14:00.000-07:00

Back of the house

Front of the house

Side of the house (kitchen window)

The last few days I've been painting the siding of our house. Daniel finished putting the siding up. It looks so complete now. My goal is to paint the entire front of the house. It gets 100% sun, so over the years it's become quite faded.

Back to School Burger Bash

2011-09-12T18:05:00.000-07:00

These are the new teens for this year. WELCOME!!!!!!!

I Love the new hair tie :-)

Can't wait to have these guys as teens in a few years :-)

I'm FINALLY getting some pictures up of the "Back to School Burger Bash." It's a fun teen activity that happens every year to welcome the new teens into the teen group. There are always good burgers along with other food, great games and a wonderful time of fellowship together. We are welcoming 5 new teens this year. :-)

Tropical Storm Irene

2011-09-01T03:15:00.001-07:00

Tried to capture the power of the storm. Didn't really succeed :-)

Last weekend, Irene came to visit. She was a very rude guest and left branches and leaves all over our yard. She even shut our power off for a few hours. But thankfully, the nice men from the power company worked hard to get it back on. We didn't have to go a night with out power :-) Praise the Lord no damage was done to our home or cars.

Siding for the House

2011-09-01T03:03:00.000-07:00

The part with the white paper showing is that part that needs to be finished.

Working hard!!

Kitchen window complete :-)

Daniel and Ben, picking out lunch.

On Saturday, Daniel and Ben worked on getting the siding that was missing on our house. It was almost a complete job, but they ran out of materials. So Daniel and I need to pick up a few things to finish the job. Then I will paint the siding blue like the rest of the house. I can't wait to get to that part :-) I love to paint.

Silly Dog

2011-09-01T02:56:00.000-07:00

Sadie is very protective of her ball. Whenever we come in the kitchen she has her ball ready for us to play with her.

Pretty Songs

2011-08-25T16:47:00.000-07:00

On our last visit, we were blessed with the girls singing. They have awesome parents that teach them well :-) I love these pictures of Daniel and Abby, they were watching Grace sing.

Having Fun!!!

2011-08-25T16:33:00.000-07:00

It's never a dull moment when we visit CT. Daniel even had fun blowing up a couple of wasp nests. :-) We have lots of fun with everyone.

"Look a Dis"

2011-08-25T16:14:00.000-07:00

I'm starting to learn Photoshop Elements. I'm just having fun with my pictures. I love this one of Abby. She was really enjoying that piece of corn. I put the original and the one I played with.

Grace was being funny and slouching in her chair :-)

Of course Abby had to copy her big sister :-)

My niece Abby says "look a dis" a lot when wanting you to see what she is doing. I can't believe how much she is growing up. We have such a fun time with them whenever we see them.

Having Fun with Cousins

2011-08-25T16:07:00.000-07:00

Last weekend we were able to spend some time with my cousins Cal, James, Leah and Lily and my Uncle and Aunt. We played Rook, I braided the girls hair and we all had fun talking with each other. It was so good to see them.

Happy 18th Birthday

2011-08-25T15:50:00.001-07:00

On August 26, my little brother Josiah will be turning 18. I can't believe that almost 18 years ago, we were waiting for this little trouble maker to be born. When my brothers and I went to visit him in the hospital when he was born, he SCREAMED the entire time. When mom brought him home, he SCREAMED. I could go on and on with the list of things that would make Josiah scream,:-) but I won't. They were all good times. We've had so many wonderful times together. I just love my crazy brother Josiah. We have a lot in common, which was why it was so easy for me to choose his birthday gift. Ok, so maybe it wasn't the safest gift to buy. :-)

Happy Anniversary

2011-08-25T03:13:00.000-07:00

Happy 35th Anniversary to my wonderful parents. They are such a blessing to me. I praise the Lord everyday for their example in my life.

Surprise !!!!!!

2011-08-23T16:11:00.001-07:00

Last week we had a surprise birthday party for one of my very good friends. I praise the Lord for providing me with wonderful christian women to fellowship with here in NH. Happy Birthday Ashley!!!!!!

Teen Cleaning and Making Your Own Pizza

2011-08-17T04:30:00.000-07:00

Well, I had the brilliant idea of having the kids make their own pizza for a teen activity. The only problem was, I thought about it prob 4 months a go and bought the dough for the pizza. So the dough has sat in a few different freezers over the last few months and taken on the taste of each freezer. :-( GROSS. Needless to say though, it was teens I was feeding. Most of them enjoyed the pizza they made anyway and gobbled it up. The rest of us normal people with REAL taste buds in our mouths, ate watermelon and chips :-). That was the food side of this activity, for the "fun" part we had the teens work around the church for a "work day." They did an awesome job and we continue to praise the Lord for wonderful teens.

Baptism

2011-08-17T04:24:00.000-07:00

Fun Weekend

2011-08-17T03:32:00.000-07:00

This past weekend my mom and brothers came to visit. I was so happy to have them here. They were able to see me play softball on Saturday. Daniel and I had a softball tournament we were playing in. We ended up winning :-) But mom had to go home before our last game :-(

Mount Calvary Team

2011-08-16T19:04:00.000-07:00

A team from Mount Calvary Baptist Church in SC came up for a week to help my Dad with VBS and Teen Challenge. What a blessing they were to him!!! We had the privilege of seeing them at my Dad's church and they visited our church in NH on Sunday night. They were so encouraging to all of us. My brother Jerid and his family came with them. It was so nice spending time with them. Since they're from SC we don't get to see them ofter.

VBS

2011-08-16T18:33:00.001-07:00

While we were in CT, we attended the closing program of Cornerstone's VBS. Josiah and Jeremiah performed the skip for them this year. Let's just say, they fit their redneck parts VERY WELL!!!!! :-) Precious Molly fell asleep in my arms. Oh how I love those moments :-) Poor little Michael had a hard time with being away from his mom. It was fun being able to see how well their VBS week went.

It was so good to see Jerid, Michelle, Makenna, Michael and Molly. It's been a little while since we've seen them and the little ones are getting so big :-(. It was so good seeing them playing with their cousins. We had a birthday party for Makenna while they were here. Happy 5th Birthday Makenna :-)

2011-08-07T14:06:00.000-07:00

Last weekend we had a wonderful time with family. We finally were able to hold and spend time with our new niece Lillian. I'll put all these pictures into a few posts to better describe them all. These first few will be of Cole and Lillian.

On Sunday, we brought the kids to our church. Everyone at our church was so happy to see them.

Mini Golf

2011-06-06T02:51:00.001-07:00

2011-05-16T17:50:00.000-07:00

Daniel and I are priviledged to work with a wonderful group of teens. One Sunday a month, the teens come to the nursing home with us.

A Family Picture

2011-03-05T15:31:00.000-08:00

Daniel's brothers and sisters had a drawing made for their mom of all of their baby pictures and their mom and dad's wedding picture. It was supposed to be a Christmas present but it wasn't ready to put under the tree. Christian was home for a break this week, so they took the opportunity to give it to their mom on Friday. She loved it. Good job guys.
