Chelsea @PLNU for camp

Here is our goofy girl waiting for a ride home with her tormented fellow campers. I'm sure they were after spending a week with this crazy character...LOL No really, Chelsea had the privilege to serve as a Camp Counselor this year. She had the most amazing time drawing closer to God and leading a group of freshman girls at camp. Her highlight was baptizing a girl ,in the Ocean ,that had redirected her life to Christ. Also Mitch and Chelsea had an amazing time on the streets of San Diego ministering to the homeless. Thank you Lord Jesus for working in the hearts of your people!

Nighty Night

After a long afternoon for Ian,playing with the slip and slide and swimming in the pool. Red and Rocky decided to join him in his quest for rest... a nap! Such super sweet boys ;)

Loving our place...

The house looks much better with fresh paint! We are excited about getting everything done and the house looking like we live here. Pictures on the walls, new lighting above the stairs,entry way, and dining room. Love to see all the finishing touches coming together. Hoping to put in new carpet soon.

Swimming at The DeRoest's...

Ian catching air and staying cool over the pool.....

Cooling Off and Making New Friends

Ian is having a blast playing in his pool.Dad hooked up the hose to the shade cover and Ian is thrilled with his waterfall ! LOL

Ian has made a new friend across the street. CJ is 3 and adores Ian. Ian enjoys being older and kind of being a leader type friend so he doesn't mind the age difference to much.They are 2 crazy kids!

Oh dear! We have puppies....

Meet the newest members of our family,Red and Rocky Ness. Also known as :"The Boys","Dumb and Dumber" and "Frick and Frack".They are very cute and already protective of their new family.It is so fun to have pets again. The kids are learning a lesson or two in responsibility in caring for them- so thats a plus! They are about 7 and 8 months old , both rescued, so they have been through alot. Still teachable and seem to be learning the rules. We think they are perfect dogs for us ,they are adjusting great and very sweet!

Home

We are little by little making this house into a home.We have done alot of painting and had to replace appliances.A new stainless steel double oven we found brand new on Craigslist. What a find! Only $500 and the exact one in the stores was $3000. We also replaced the dishwasher and microwave both were unfortunately not working. We also took out the old sink that had holes in it and put in a beautiful black one.
