NEW Year, Same Blog

Hey all...

I figure it's a new year so we might start updating stuff to this old blog of ours...

So here goes:

• We still live in Quispamsis, NB (Say it with me "QUIS-PAM-SIS", wasn't that fun)

• I (Dave) still work at Kings Valley Wesleyan Church... Youth Pastor

• Lynnette's photography continues to take off check out the updated website (masonphotography.ca) She's booking for 2010 already... Crazy
  

• We even just painted our bathroom chocolate brown with white towels and shower curtain (White and brown in the bathroom all we need is yellow and it will look like a toilet)

• Oh and we finally got blinds put up (so no more sheets hanging on the windows) I (Dave again) did it myself and it's surprising how complicated an "easy-to-install" thing can be, but I think I got it right in the end and as I said, no more sheets on the windows so yipee

• We went home for Christmas (Quispamsis-Ottawa-Midland-Ottawa-Quispamsis) Close to 48 hours of driving... Yeah and we still have the Jeep so highways are no pleasure, but it was great to be with family

• We got a Wii for Christmas (I know I sound like a 12 year old) but really it's a lot of fun, so far we're hooked on bowling and Wii Fit (oh and I got Lego Star Wars so I really am 12 years old again)

Well that's about it... As I said I will try and update this blog more as we find things to tell everyone about... So enjoy

I know...

For those who check this, I'm sooo sorry, we have been crazy busy & blogging just hasn't happened. I promise I will update you soon on the events in our lives this summer...for now I will show you why I have been busy...

I feel blessed that God has provided for me to do photography...it's become a passion that I truly love to do. Besides all the amazing ministry opportunities that Dave & I have had this summer...(mission trips to NYC & Toronto, teen camps, & summer events) my summer has been packed with weddings and family sessions, so here's a peak at some of the weddings I have done this summer...

The View- Pastor's Wives Edition

On Mother's Day they asked the wives of all the Pastor's to take over the message with..."The View, Pastor's Wives Edition". We had alot of fun and we discussed "hot topics" such as...should mom's work or stay at home...how do you raise your kids to love Jesus? Then we were able to have an interview with two generations of Mother's...a new mom and her mom. We had alot of fun with this & the church seemed to really enjoy it.

Melanie, Janet, Linda & Lynnette

Lynnette- Pastor Dave's wife, Linda- Pastor Dan's wife, Janet- Pastor Don's wife, and Mel-Pastor Brent's wife.

Our special guests were...Crystal, who just accomplished her first year of motherhood & Crystal's mom, Janice. Who is a Mother of two and Grandmother of three.

Rally in the Valley

Rally in the Valley was an amazing weekend! God truly blessed this event and it was so exciting to see God at work! We had over 350 teens & over 100 + adults attended this district event and 25 students gave their lives to Christ! I was very proud of my husband for pouring his passion & time into this event to make it such a special time for so many students. Check out my facebook to see all the pictures & the rally website! Thank you for all your prayers, God did bless this event and we had a BLAST being used by Him!

Worship was amazing...Pastor Brent & the band did amazing leading us into kick butt worship!

My hubby..ddddave!

Jeremy ( one of the students in our youth group ) led us in worship through his art...

A group of our jr high girls for your youth group did a worship dance during one of the rallies...
