Some Quotes.

No mortal creature can comprehend God in his majesty,
and therefore did he come before us in the simplest manner,
and was made man, with sin, death, and weakness.
-Martin Luther


It is a great deal better to live a holy life than to talk about it.
Lighthouses do not ring bells and fire cannons to call attention
to their shining - they just shine.
-Dwight L. Moody

Sucker!(s)

Okay, I guess you all probably already know this,

be us 5 are all total suckers when it comes to Cameron,

Devyn, and Karley...

We drove past Dairy Queen and saw Josh and his family

ordering Ice Cream, so Crystal honked the horn, and I had

my arm stuck way out the window waving wildly.

And from the backseat I hear Rachel say,

"why is it that whenever we see them I get a weird grin

on my face and just can't wipe it off?"
I guess being an aunt just does that to you...

Beauty :)

Devyn and Karley got a little restless during

church yesterday, so they decided to decorate me. I loved it too :)

'Contented Sigh'

Ah, it feels so good to be home!

The last 1 1/2 hours of our car ride yesterday seemed
to take forever! But it even felt great just to be in Illinois.
When we got home, Taffie went nuts! We didn't even put
her in her fence we just opened up the door, and let her
run from person to person in the front yard :)
And T was here, and a few minutes later Jared was here,
and, AHHHHhhh, It is SO good to be home!

We'll definitely look back on last week with fond memories though!

:)

I am so thankful for the wonderful blessing we received
by being able to stay here at the Clover Ridge Resort
for a whole week! We had a wonderful, relaxing stay.
But all good things must come to an end, and we are going
home today. That's okay though. We have had a great time
here, but are really missing everything back home.

Taffie here we come!!!

Yesterdayfun.

Here are some pictures from when we went kayaking yesterday!I really like this picture, I think its very unique.

Oh come on now, none of that :)
Stopping to looks for shells.
(Crystal and I thought that they'd make great necklaces)

Dad wanted to make sure that I let it be known that

we 'conquered' the 'mighty' Raccoon River!

Ah, technology!

I like that Crystal's camera has a timer on it, that

way she can be in pictures too!

Kayaking was a really great/fun experience!

We went here for supper.

We kind of couldn't not go :)

Sucess!

Kayaking was a sucess!
Nobody tipped over,
and a good time was had by all :)

Fun!

So, we're going kayaking today!
Pray for good weather and an awesome/safe time!
We miss everybody, but are having lots of fun.

Everybody have a great day!

We're here

The Kalebaugh family is on VACATION!!

We finally arrived last night after about a 6 hour car drive...

Plans for the week are being lazy and relaxing!

Pictures will come soon but I'm now off to enjoy the sunshine!

Happy WORK week to ya'll while we suffer the hardships of fun and laziness!! :)

And We're Off!

We are leaving for church in about an hour, and then
heading straight from there on vacation!
We're all looking forwards to a great, relaxing week.
We have some plans, but mostly just, uh, relaxing!!!
So look out Iowa, here we come!

:)

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!!

Angry face!

I don't know how to get it off, but there's links
to something on some of the words I typed in the last
post... Just picture my angry face }:[

Wow! An Update!

It seems like we never update this blog...
That of course could be because we don't really.
(insightful I know...)
We're getting ready to go have supper with Grandpa,
and then I think Crystal is doing a photo shoot tonight.

And Sunday, after church we are leaving to go on vacation!
We are staying next to a lake in Iowa, and at least Crystal
and I are looking forwards to (hopefully) relaxing in the sun
for the most part of this trip. :)

Funny happenings - this morning, I went to give mom a hug
before I left and she didn't know I had a cup of juice in my hand...
JUICE BATH! It sloshed all over my arm and the floor. I didn't
have time to wash it off of me, so I spent the next few minutes
(I know its gross) trying to lick it off my arm, so the bugs wouldn't
attack me. It kind of worked, but my arm had a weird, sticky feeling.

Its kind of sad, that I haven't really posted pictures in a while,
but all of the pictures that we take always get downloaded
onto Crystal's computer, and she's been on in it a lot trying to
finish up all her photo editing before we leave for vacation.
So I guess you'll all just have to deal with this rambling :P

Good ending note - Jude 24 & 25
And now, all glory to God, who is able to keep you from
stumbling, and who will bring you into his glorious presence
innocent of sin and with great joy. All glory to him, who alone
is God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Yes, glory,
majesty, power, and authority belong to hem, in the beginning,
now, and forevermore.

Well I know that was all disjointed, but at least it was an update!
Plus, that's just the way my minds working right now... :P
