Visit @ the beach

It was a beautiful day in Quispamsis, New Brunswick... so after a morning of going to rummage sales with Linda and Sarah... Dave, myself and Jeremy headed to the beach! (Only a mile or so from our house). Here are a few pictures for you all to see. Enjoy!

New Curtains

To some, it may be no big deal, but we are excited about our first decorating purchase...Curtains!! We are no longer in a fish bowl, we can close the curtains at night and not feel like we are on display for all to see:) Dave picked out the curtain rod and I picked out the curtains.

Fish Blender/Desk Lamp

You ever wonder what to do with that old blender? Why sell it in a garage sale or pitch it when you can make it into something else? I decided to make my old blender into a fish tank. I think I got the idea from one of those cheesy motivational posters something about "keep on swimming" or something. The poster had a picture of a goldfish swimming in a blender. I thought it was a hilarious idea. So when we got our new blender, making my old blender obsolete, I wanted to make one. It took me a while to figure out how to get the motor out, and how to install a light (oh I added a light to my fishtank by the way). And here it is. Tomorrow I will add a switch to make to cord longer (I have the original on there now) and so I can turn the light on and off, I don't want to cook the fish. I will add a picture of the fish when I get one. Till then enjoy my Fish Blender/Desk Lamp.

A Hiking We Will Go

Today Lynnette and I decided to go for a hike. Seeing as we had the day off thanks to Canada Day being on a Saturday. It was nice, as it turns out there is this really cool trail right down the road from our house. The hike was very nice, we even saw a deer crossing the trail about 15 feet in front of us. I was told there are also bears in these woods, I don't think I would like to see one of those. But I still think I'll hike there. So this adds to the list of things we can do with people who visit, there is a beach about 1 km from our home and in August we will have a fishing boat to explore the river. The Recreation Center even has a little league field if HomeRunDerby ever wants to go international.

Canada Day and Fiesta!

Yesterday was Canada Day! To celebrate we had the Lamos family (Dan, Linda, John, Jeremy, and Sarah) over for the afternoon and dinner...then we all went into Saint John to the harbor to see the fireworks. We had so much fun yelling and screaming after every firework, it was great:) The Lamos family was our first connection to Kings Valley. Dan has helped lead the New York mission trips the past few years and has become a great friend of ours. The Lamos family has been our family away from family, we look forward to doing many years of ministry together.

VBS...aka "Fiesta" was all last week...and this morning Linda Lamos (Children's Director) had the kids give a presentation to the church of what their week looked like. The kids were soo cute and did a great job singing all their songs. They even got visited by the "3 Amigos" aka--Pastor Dave, Pastor Brent, and Pastor Dan.

One thing that was promised to the kids if there were over 150 kids that attended "Fiesta" was that all the pastors would get a pie in the face...well the kids did it! And the Pastors all got pies in their faces, it was soo funny!






Here is our Sr. Pastor Don getting a pie in his face.


Looks good on Dave!
