On Saturday August 14th, Jason Eli Coon was Baptized in our local, Cain Creek.

Our old friends and our new friends where there in testimony and support!

First, Wylie spoke words of love and encouragement

then, Mark spoke words of wisdom and supportin the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit!

a NEW CREATURE in Christ!

hugs of gratitudeand more hugs

then everyone hung out and swam in the creek

keep counting...there are 10 children

the older children had fun on the rope swing,
it was a hot, but beautiful day!

Wisconsin - Holly's Beautiful LONG Hair

BEFORE

measuring again, after the braid

ready?????...

the professional hairstylist, Muffy cutting...

the CUT piece in mama's hand! It was a bit emotional

beautiful and SHORT! Thanks, Muffy!the cut braid

Holly's new "grown-up" look! Isn't she beautiful!?

It's not about the hair anyways...it's her heart that is so beautiful!

AFTER

Wisconsin - @ the Shelfhouts...men will be boys

There was monopoly playing...(Chad was victorious)

...and then there was the push up challenge...

Jason did ONE more than Chad and Brandon's total count, only because he went last. Chad (the work out guy) had the best form though! Go Chad! Look at my little man child..impressive eh!?

Our thought was the death crawl...like in the movie "Facing the Giants"
instead...
Chad attempted push-ups with Brandon on his back

...and Chad doing successful "one-clap" push ups...

Indian leg wrestling (Jason won if fine form)
EVERYONE laughed A LOT!
...and let us not forget, Brandon with one final attempt at the "one-clap" push up...wrong floor to do this on...especially when you can't quite get that clap in there! How are your ribs doing now Brandon? Our men are so entertaining!

Wisconsin - Visit to the Schelfhouts

We had a super fun time at a nearby man made lake

It was a beautiful day and the water was warm and the sun wasn't too hot

In the evenings Brandon and Allison Mueller joined in for the fellowship and fun

...that made 6 adults and 13 children...what a blast!

Clara(7) and Nathan(3) Mueller...great looking children...are there more to follow?

The children had a blast playing a lot of soccer and then they did a lot of swimming to cool off
