Visit to Fire Station

Monday while we were in Westmont, we took the kids to visit 'daddy's fire trucks'. He dressed up in full gear for them too! It was a fun memory! Thanks, daddy!

Um, which pair should I try??

Monday

Monday morning we took the West family to a few sights in Johnstown. We first had breakfast on the back deck! It was a warm morning for once and they kids had fun eating outside. First we went to the site of the South Fork Dam. That is the dam that broke that caused the great Johnstown flood of 1889. Then we went to the clubhouse. I love the Clubhouse! I think it would have been so fun to be 'rich' and come here for vacation like they did back then!Then on to the incline plane in Westmont. And to visit Grandview Cemetery where the unknown plot is for the victims of the 1889 flood.

A Sunday "off'!

We've been 'off' from traveling for a week now and its been refreshing for us! We don't have any services scheduled until August 2nd, so we're enjoying a few days of catching up on book work, and relaxing. I've been doing some sewing & in general we've just been enjoying out time at my parents! Sunday, we enjoyed some good services at my home church. We also enjoyed the fellowship of the Sam West family as they were passing though on their vacation. Jonathan & Bro. Sam went to college together a 'few' years ago, and had fun remembering all the fun times they had. Jonathan, Bro. Nevseta, & Bro. West

This is about the last free week we'll be here before we go back to the South, so we are going to try to cram in as much stuff as we can! Next week, my sister, Becka will be home for the week so we'll be having fun with her!

Blue Spruce Park

Friday night we went to Blue Spruce Park with some families around my parents area. We had a fun time enjoying a quiet evening with nature & friends.

Down on the farm

A few weekends ago we were with the Edward brothers in Indiana for services on a Sunday. Jonathan also had a fun few days helping them with the wheat harvest. The kids had a blast riding the combine too! Just a few days ago we were driving in the truck & Kylie started talking about riding the combine! =) Thank you all for everything you did for us that week!! =) We had a relaxing few days!

Jamie & Lynne's wedding

This past weekend we were so priviledged to attend the wedding of our pastor's daughter at my home church in Johnstown. It was a beautiful wedding!

Happy 1st birthday Kamryn!

Happy Birthday sweet Kammy!! We love you and are so thankful God gave you to us!

At the park!

When we are in the Columbus, Ohio area we usually spend most of our time hanging out with our friends, Jennifer & her kids! They have welcomed us into their home and let us crash!! We've had lots of fun and made some fun memories! Thank you guys for everything you've done for us the past few months! The other day we took all 6 kids to the park! =)

Praise the Lord!

We are now have 19% of our monthly budget pledged!! God is good!!

Happy Fourth of July!!

Jonathan took this picture of this flag at the boyhood home of Abraham Lincoln.

THANK YOU to all who gave their lives so we can fly this awesome flag!!

Abraham Lincoln's boyhood home in Indiana

Today we were so privileged to visit Abe Lincolns boyhood home here in Southern Indiana. Here are a few pictures from our day. He moved here when he was 7 or 8 and left at age 21. His mother is buried here also. Jonathan & I both love history so this was something we enjoyed very much!Mrs. Lincolns grave site
