Tuesday night at the Reed's

A bunch of families with children come over on Tuesdays...there is a pot luck and tons of pent up energy burned off......The top pic is of some of us watching a video on the internet.

Our 5 youngest.. :)

Josiah Farlamb.....getting ready for Tuesday night fights....

Caleb (who is now on a 3 month missionary trip to Zambia...eating termites and catapillars)

getting ready to tee off on his brother....

Let the fun begin.......oh yes it is rough...plenty of blood....

They video the action......then with bloody noses....sit down and watch it to figure out what they did wrong. Dad just shakes his head. Mothers refuse to watch..... :)

It's a guy thing I guess.

More pics.....

Wade and James' iceboat.

They were able to sail for one day, then we had a big storm......There are no pictures of the action because most of the sailing was in the middle of the lake.....and both guys with cameras were busy sailing.....

So here is just a nighttime picture of their boat :)

Pastor and Mrs.Spencer and family visited us from Holland, Mi. (he was speaking at our church)

SAY CHEESE......... PRINGLES!!!!!!!!!!

I am not sure what is more gross....the cheese/dirt residue on her face......or the snot running down her face into the cheese/dirt residue. :(

What a lovely lady!

Some pictures of Taylor

A favorite hobby: stamp collecting!
