More to tell!!


The city pool on a nice 98 degree day!! Lots of swimming gets done there.

I was having trouble with my internet before and couldn't add all the photos that I wanted, sooo here are some more to enjoy.




Aunt Amy, Cousin Michael and Jaden petting some of the donkey's down the street.

Beautiful vineyard just down the street. WOW, it is gorgeous. Hops are in the background as well. FYI they use hops to make beer, soooo micro breweries are going to be coming into town as well as the already 28 wineries. That is alot of alcohol!! :-)

Our house in the sunset. We have 2 1/2 acres. We are renting from a sweet hispanic family. They have already invited us to their parties that they have regularly!!! O man, we are definatly going to be grubbin on some mexican food. Someone had some carne asada on the grill the other day! Jorge if you are reading this.....it smelled amazing! I know that you can appreciate a good steak! :-)

Sunset in the front of our house.

I really cool dry lighting storm we had a couple of weeks back. (Dry lighting is where you have no rain or thunder, just lighting) It sparked a fire on the right side of the photo, 60 acres it burned. Megan wasn't too sure about all of that. She decided to lay in bed with dad.


Look forward to hearing from the kids at least once a month. They are thinking of some fun things that they can add to blog, like Who is Billy? Big Bubba? Jet and all sorts of interesting knowledge. In fact.. right at this exact moment, I have a loose baby cow in my backyard! :-) How funny, I guess I will have to find his/her owner.

Hope this finds everyone in great health, and loving life. We pray for you often as the LORD leads. We pray many blessings and great revelations into your life.

Love you all,
Jeff, Kelli, Ashley, Katelyn, Sabrina, Megan and Jaden......

Uncle Mike, Aunt Amy, Cousin Adam from Conneticut, visiting with Katelyn and Ashley, watching the other kiddos swim. They came up for Shane's going away party.

Well, it is about time that we start a blog and let you know what the heck we've been doing!!
We have been moling the idea of moving to Eastern WA for awhile now and have finally made the jump over the mountains!! We are living in Prosser! Home of the Mustang's Football. State Champs for the past 4 years!! Yes, Jeff is coaching of course. He is helping out with the freshman team as well as some offensive stuff on varsity.

I (Kelli) am having lots of fun with my photography business. I am now a published photographer!! I have 2 photos being published in a book called "Skagit Trust Book". Out of 1500 photos submissions, there were only 200 slots....I got 2 of them! :-) I have been swampped with weddings doing 5 in May, 5 in June, 5 in August, and so far have booked...2 in Sept., 1 Oct, 2 in Dec. My website www.kellilynnphotos.com,
Thanks for your comments and praises! :-0 O'ya and coaching Jaden's soccer team and being shoffer!!

Jeff is coaching and working with some leaders in the community to see how we can reach out to Prosser and share the love of Jesus with the more people. We are still running The Kingdom Call Ministries, we have had some time with Jesus to make sure that we are on track with where He wants the ministry to be..... we are still supporting The Kingdom Children's Home in India, Children of Faith in India and would like to start supporting another pastor in El Salvador, who Jeff got to meet last August. *More on that at another time.

Ashley- just started drivers ed!!! Yeah, thats right....drivers ED!!! OOO man, that is crazy, yet exciting. She is making new friends being a sophmore at Prosser High. She will try out for the school play next week.

Katelyn- is trying out for volleyball in the 7th grade. She is doing great meeting new friends, still loves horses. We have several of them around our property. She is loving that!!

Sabrina- 6th grader now, in middle school. Is adjusting well to moving around classes. Meeting new friends and starts soccer tonight!!

Megan- 3rd grade. starting soccer tonight as well. Her back is healing well after her fall off a horse and fracturing her T-12 vertabrae. SCAREY!! she still has her braces, teeth are moving into place very well.

Jaden- 2nd grade. Is playing soccer with mom being the coach. He likes that!! I think??? :-) Seems to anyway. He is making new friends and has found a boy who likes legos down the street from us.

Sooo, that is the first blog. Hopefully I will be better at communication. I am better online than phone or letters as I am usually editing photos and can type while things are being uploaded. :-) Hope you don't mind, would love to keep in touch and are never too busy for phone calls or letters from you if that is how you like to communicate!! :-)

Love all of you! Our home is always open for visits.....Jaden has his own room now and has agreed to share for guests! ***We have 2 bathrooms now....:-) For those of you who visited our other home with 1 bath, you can appreciate that!! ALTHOUGH...that was a beautiful bathroom!!
