Birthday on the Lake

My 18th birthday was about two weeks ago, but I celebrated with real a party yesterday, doing my favorite things and being with family and friends – we went to the lake! Early in the morning my wonderful Dad and brothers packed up our mini van “Homer” with our canoes, paddles and lifevests, while Mom, [...]

Sunday Fellowship!

Every summer our church usually puts together a schedule we like to call “Sunday Summer Fellowship”; simply pick a Sunday afternoon, plan an activity, and do it! This past weekend we hosted a picnic at one of our favorite spots by the river, and spent several hours swimming, wading, splashing, picnicking, and fellowshipping. It’s just [...]

Who Knew Blueberry Picking Could Be So Fun?

It’s about that time of year again…the blueberries are ripe, and we’re a’pickin’! Man who owns blueberry farm (paraphrase): “I don’t think I’ve met anyone who has as much fun blueberry picking as you guys seem to! That’s really neat. Come again!” I guess he heard all our talk and laughter (we were probably the [...]

The Museum

A science museum, to be exact!  Those are always a lot of fun. One morning,  a couple weeks ago, we met up with a group of friends to go on a field trip together. It was an all-day outing, including our self guided museum tour, a dinner at Subway, and capping it off at the [...]

4th of July Pictures

We began our day by playing acoustic worship music for a church. We met in the national forest near a mountain stream, and even watched a baptism – it was beautiful! Afterwards, we dropped our instruments off at home, then headed out to a party! I hope everyone had a wonderful Independence Day! God bless [...]

Beards

So I’ve been thinking about beards lately (for no particular reason of course ) and I came across this scale of the trustworthiness of beards. I thought it was pretty hilarious. (You have to zoom in to get a better look) I think I’ll go with the werewolf, or the Hitler. LOL -NatetheGreat

Jamestown Reunion!

We didn’t win the gold in the Jamestown 400 Treasure Hunt 3 years ago (has it really been that long?), but we always say that the treasure we found was in friends. We know families from all over the country who we’ve only seen once or twice, or only kept in touch online, but we [...]

The Epitome of Cool

…not really. But Esther and I thought we’d give it a shot anyway! (More pictures of Esther’s visit coming soon!) Enjoy this beautiful day! At least where I am, it’s not too hot or cold outside – perfect! -Kasie

The Geeky Glasses Post

Don’t the glasses make Jeremy look like Clark Kent? They’re not prescription glasses, sunglasses, reading glasses, or really, anything one would normally wear a pair of glasses for, other than minimizing glare from the sun. They are pretty much, all for head turning, eyebrow raising, smile-to-your-face querky style! Of course, we all had to try [...]

Girls’ Night Crafts

Every Thursday night the guys go to a men’s group, studying Norm Wakefield’s Equipping Men series; and every Thursday night they’re gone, us ladies get together at our house and have a “girls’ night in”! We bake goodies, talk, laugh and share stories (a lot of that going on!), sometimes watch a movie, knit or [...]
