Kentucky Pictures (part 2)

Here's more pictures, there's a ton just to warn you. These pictures are from a BBQ at Josh and Char's house, a quick stop in Indiana, and to the Louisville Slugger Museum.


Elijah and Josh playing cards.

Zeke playing in the pool in his clothes


Elijah



Titus getting soaked and having a blast










Annabelle and her friend Char (who she still talks about), she took to Char right away.








The guys playing cornhole



Jen and Annabelle





Krisalynn showing off one of her many talents, blowing snot bubbles. If you look real close you can see a little bubble on top her nose. My poor little monkey was sick the whole trip.





Time for fireworks and sparklers





Kailyn wasn't to sure about the sparklers





Annabelle loved them!



So did Elijah









Brian Wilmoth and Diego




Gabe, Kailyn and Elijah






We stopped here, in Indiana to take pictures by the water.












We had a little worship time by the water, it was wonderful, you could totally feel God's presence.












Annabelle and Tim Peters outside the restaurant we had lunch at, I believe it was called Mark's Feed Store. They had really good BBQ food. That is what started my pregnancy hamburger cravings.




Out front at the Louisville Slugger Museum

The billets that will become Howie Kendricks bats





John in the batting cages



Annabelle wishing she could go into the batting cages.

We had such a wonderful time in Kentucky and hope to go again soon. And Gabe and Jen we miss you guys so much, but are so excited to see how God is working in your lives.

Kentucky Pictures (part 1)

I finally have gotten around to updating my blog, I know it's been a long time. I waited to post Kentucky pictures because I wanted to to be able to tell everyone the news we found out in Kentucky. We found out that we are expecting baby #3 for those of you who don't already know. I have had some problems with this pregnancy, which is why we didn't tell everyone right away. But yesterday I received some positive news and feel comfortable telling everyone now. This pregnancy came as a little bit of a surprise, a bit sooner than we had planned. But God's timing is better than ours and I know He is watching over this little baby. So this little one should be making his/her grand appearance the beginning of March.
Now to the Kentucky trip. We went with a group from our church for a mission trip. I didn't do the mission work because I had the girls, but John was able too. One day he went to a farm and helped out there and they also went to I believe a camp and helped out there. I know he did some electrical work as well as other stuff. They also worked on Gabe and Jen's house. You'll have to ask him for more details of what they did.

We were blessed that the Combs family opened their home to us and let us stay with them. They are an awesome family and we are so blessed to have them as friends now.
One of the nights when the team stayed the night at the camp Jen Dittmar and her 2 kids, Kailyn and Elijah stayed the night with us at Sarah's house. Jen brought nail polish and painted the kid's nails, even the boys.



Elijah waiting to get his nails painted

Jen painting Annabelle's nails



Zeke smiling for the camera (he was such a big boy sharing his house and his toys)





Krisalynn fell asleep sucking her thumb











Annabelle and Kailynn being silly







The girls








Krisalynn sitting like a big girl




Elijah hanging out with me because he didn't want to go into the water at the water park on the Fort Knox base.





Annabelle and Kailynn being silly again



Goofy Girls






I took Annabelle in the water over her head since she had the vest on, in theory it should have been fine. Except she didn't know how to float. She just kept tipping over and since I was holding Krisalynn it wasn't easy to keep Belle upright. I'm sure it looked funny, thankfully Jen came to the rescue.



Elijah trying to get the water to come out of the hose. We had to turn it off because they kept fighting over it and squirting each other in the face. It gets a little crazy when you get six kids together all 3 or younger! Crazy fun! The kids loved it!




Zeke, Annabelle, Kailynn and that's Titus in the corner.





Miss Belle splashing.
We had such a wonderful time out there and hope to go again before Krisalynn turns 2, maybe next fall. I still have more pictures from the BBQ we had out there. I'll post them soon, I promise!
