This has got to be the coolest "smart car" I have ever seen. A guy down the road has one like this...I bet his isn't this powerful though!

Just so you know the car has a retrofitted Suzuki Hayabusa engine installed in it. That is a very fast street bike!...and now a very fast little car!

Not long until the new Ikea is in and good to go!


Esther falling asleep on the drive up to Centralia.


Walking around at Grandpa and Grammie's house.

Bad picture...sorry...but here is Steve and his dad Bo painting the inside of the Wohlds new house! Looks fantastic!

Portland Area "reformation" ministers meeting.

This is Robbie, the youth pastor at Tigard Church of God. We are at Lynchwood Chruch of God discussing the health of the Church of God in the Portland area. Specifically how it is dying... This was the first of many meetings on the topic...Pray it leads to some change!


(left to right): Jeremiah from HoodView Church of God in Woodburn OR.; Aaron Walton from Mt. Scott Church of God; and Aaron's father and I can't remember what church he pastors...


A few more of the pastors...it was a good group I think we had 10 different churches represented...really hope that some change comes out of these meetings!!!

Papa's Grace.

Grace giving a big yawn while hanging out with Papa in his office.

I am working on my lesson for Youth tommorow and just got a case of the late night crazies... Plus I wanted to test out the new memory card with the camcorder...

Bath Time and so on...

Sunday...church...then family! Yehaw!!!

Esther holding Ethan. It sure was good to see all the family this weekend. We loved to hang out with Ethan and see how big he is getting...I love the dimples...can't see them in this picture.


The rest of the family trying to get in on the photo opp... Uncle Steve is trying to get them all to look in one direction...


Esther has a smile like she just farted and made the other kiddo's sad!


The cousin photo shoot. (Grace, Esther, Ethan)


My wife, she is such an amazing woman...she is so good with Esther and Grace I just love her sooo much!!!


Esther "smiling" for her picture before church. I swear those big blue eyes are the prettiest things!

Acquire the Fire

The small but great group that I took to Acquire the Fire at the Rose Quarter in down town Portland. (Left to right: Illiante, Amanda, Edith, David, Martin)


Notice the twisted ball of a person sleeping in the distance of the bag...that's Martin, he thought he was still sleeping in his sleeping bag...too bad he was about 10 feet off!



I won't show the pictures because they are nasty...but just visualize the process of shoving the rest of this burrito in your mouth...well that's what Martin did!

Montly youth ministers meeting.

Me at Applebea's listening in on the lovely conversation going on at the table behind me. They were talking about me and my child training choices.............................


Here is the four of us youth pastors...after we decided to leave the restaurant because I couldn't seem to focus!

Just another day...

Esther and I went for a walk around the "Adventureland" backyard. The grass was about a foot tall because the church mower was busted for a while. We had a good time, here she is sitting on top of the bike jump at the end of our driveway.


Gracie is giving us her goofy smile!


Getting some fresh air while the rain has stopped and things have kind of dried up.


Esther and the rain clouds.


All my ladies...I am so lucky!!!

Esther dressing herself...

So Esther started putting her own clothes on...two legs through one pant hole. And her head through the shirt but not bothering to put her arms though... She struggled to walk around the house like this for over an hour!

Grace around the house and our day out and about

It is fun how much a couple of weeks will make in the life and awareness of a kiddo! Gracie looks around soo much now, taking it all in!


This is going to be the new face added on the next "freemans" t-shirt.


A big yawn by the little chunk!


So today we went out past the town of Sandy to look at a house we saw online for fun! It is awesome out here, so pretty and quiet...no sirens!!! (Esther is "smiling)


The Sandy river runs right behind the house we were looking at...well a little walk, not right behind it.


Here is Esther and the Sandy River, she really enjoyed looking at the river, she was amazed and only wanted to get closer...cringe!


Amy took this picture from the parking lot while she was feeding Grace... We then ate at this great little restaurant...can't remember the name...it was awesome!


Here is the house we looked at, very cute...and you can't here traffic or sirens!!
