At the Canola Field

Yesterday, (Sunday) we walked about a mile to take pictures in a canola field. You can see it in the right corner of the picture. It was a beautiful (though very windy) evening.

Dan had an extra passenger on the way home : )

Beacon Bible Camp



We spent last week at Beacon Bible Camp , where Dan was the speaker. The week we were there was for Junior High aged children.  I stayed with Hannah and Sarah in a nice camper, and Dan, Melissa, Daniel, and Joshua stayed in another room.

Breakfast at the cafeteria.

We all enjoyed getting to play in the game room.


The game room had actually been the old chapel. It was made from the top of an old barn that was painted white inside. I thought it was pretty.

Playing in the camper.


The children enjoyed going down to the creek one day to throw stones in the water. It was a beautiful day, as you can see.





This is the entrance to the camp.

The children really had a good time at camp.



One of the things the children enjoyed at camp were the 'chariots' they could be pulled around in.

Good morning, Daniel!

At the Playground

We took the children to the playground at the elementary school next door, and they really enjoyed that.

Here at... The Marasco's

Baby Joshua is so sweet! He is starting to crawl, and pull himself up on things.

Having fun with the 'shopping list' game : )


The Marasco's cat had kittens shortly before they left for PA, so by the time they got back to Montana, the kittens were the perfect age to play with. The children have really enjoyed them a lot.

Daniel was very glad to be back in his own little bed.


Helping scoop out no-bake cookies.


Dan and Melissa have a very big garden!

Anna's First Birthday


February 1st was Anna first birthday

Here's the birthday girl!


I think the highlight for everyone was watching Anna eat her cake!

I thought this was funny- look how many people are taking pictures : )





"Do you want some, Uncle Ben?"



Mmm... that was yummy birthday cake!

Anna doesn't know how to unwrap presents yet...

... but once they were unwrapped she was sure interested in them : )

Some new play animals from Grandpa and Grandma.

Farm sippy cups from Daddy and Mommy

It was funny; both Grandma's had got the same gift for Anna- diapers and some of those nice play animals.  Even though they both got farm animals, there were only two duplicates, and they had actually made a sheep pair between the two of them.

I'm sure Anna is going to enjoy the tractor scooter that Cory and Keri got for her.
