My Egyptian Princess



Doesn't she look like royalty? Laying there on the couch waiting for her servants to fetch her some food! I guess she'll be waiting a long time!!

Something Funny:)

Our washing machine tends to "walk" around a lot. Yesterday I was doing laundry & of course it started again. Mylanie ran out to check on it & suddenly the washer was calm, which is very unusual because I hadn't touched the washer yet. So, I had to take a peek, & this is what I found!!







Whoever said laundry was a chore?!?!

Happy Anniversary Stillwater!!!

It's hard to believe that this week marks one year that we said good bye to all in FL and started out full time for Stillwater. It's been an amazing year. From the highest of highs-3 Camps with 8 decisions for Christ; 2 Retreats for the first time; MANY wonderful & amazing blessings from God!! To the lowest of lows-saying good bye to FL; the homegoing of Dad Boone. Through it all we have seen God's amazing work. I can honestly say that we are not sorry that we took this GIANT step of faith. My family is housed, clothed, fed & happy--except Mylanie when she has to do Math:) We've been able to do some neat things and meet some incredible people of God. God has stretched us & used us & we are truly greatful to be busy in His work!!

NC State Fair

We went to the NC State Fair this week. I think the pictures say it all. We had a great time. Mylanie got to milk a cow & we got to feed a camel, a baby buffalo, 2 lamas, & many goats! We also came home with 10 packs of pancake mix-They just kept handing them out, free t-shirts, and many other crazy gagets!! We saw pig races, duck races & fireworks!!



Chicken with a bad hair day!!



Men's Retreat, 2009



Our first men's retreat was a great success. We had about 20 men attend. The human foosball court continues to be a favorite. Who would have guessed!?!? Everyone received a message from the Lord & we are looking forward to next year!!

I just have to share this!! Mylanie & I were doing dishes the other day & she was just singing away--"And He walks with me, and He talks with me, and He tells me I am His BFF." (For those of you who don't yet understand texting, BFF is Best Friends Forever!) Children quite often speak the truth!!

It's auction time!!

We had a great auction\yard sale today!! Once we auctioned the items that people were interested in, we stuck around for a while & had a yard sale. All in all we raised over $1300 for the camp!! We're inching closer to the needed amount to purchase the property. My house no longer looks like an out-of-control thrift store!! A special thank you to Russ & Judy Walton & Laura Utley for sticking around to help throughout the day. Thanks a bunch!!
