Bass Lake Adventure








Autumn 2010

Well Fall is finally here! We can't believe we have been living in California for almost 1/2 a year already! Its amazing how fast time goes. Well to give you all a little update on our lives here it is in a nutshell:

We are both working hard on the dairy- Sean feeding the cows and I am staying super busy organizing things in the office and just staying caught up on everything. We also decided to help out the chruch we have been going to with their Junior High Youth Group. We meet every Wednesday night and play with the kids, have speeches, and have small group times. We really would appreciate your prayers in this as at times it can be really frustraiting! Even though its so hard at times it is extremly rewarding esp. when the kids start asking about how they can serve God better, Love Him better and live for Him!

Besides us staying busy some of our friends have had exciting things happen in their lives:
1. Kent and Jessica welcomed their new lil' man  Ryker into their lives
2. Brandon and Stephanie Stremler have annouced they WILL be welcoming a new little one into their lives! YAY!
We are so very excited for our friends and miss them as well as all of you like crazy!

That's all for now. God Bless You!

Love Afair with Water

The 'Gainer'

Step 1: while facing forward JUMP as HIGH as you can.

Step 2: complete a Backflip (remember you were facing forward on the diving board)

Step 3: complete the backflip and land STRAIGHT in the water


Step 4: Get a good laugh out of all the belly flop/ back slaps when the 'gainer' is unsuccesful!
