Thanksgiving 2006

Happy late Thanksgiving
This year we had Thanksgiving here in Ashland it was a great time. The first picture that you see is Luran (some friends of ours little girl) pushing David up against the wall to give him a kiss, it was one of the sweetist things that I have ever seen. The rest of the pictures are from when we all went to the zoo in Omaha. I am not to sure who had more fum the kids or the adults but witch ever it was a great time. However there are far too many things to do to get them all done in one weekend so we will all have to do it again some other time. Hope everyones Holiday was a great one and we will talk agian soon.
God Bless

Big City Mountaineers

Greetings Friends and Family,
Well I have a new adventure at hand! In April I will be climbing Long’s Peak in Colorado to support a Non-Profit organization called Big City Mountaineers. This organization partners with other inner city organizations and takes at-risk youth out on 8 day backpacking trips. The minimum amount raised from this climb will send 5 youth out on backpacking trips all over the United States. As most of you know the outdoors is and always has been a big part of my life, and a huge factor in developing who I am today. When I heard about BCM I knew I needed to get involved as a volunteer. This gives me an opportunity to pass along the same type of experiences that I have had that have had such life changing affects on me. I am asking for your support on this climb to afford the opportunity to many at-risk youth in our country. This is your chance as well, to help to give the at-risk youth in our country a chance at experiencing the inconceivable gifts of the wilderness while they are stuck in such a beauty deprived environment. Please browse the web site and watch the video that is available, take some time to learn more about all the wonderful things that this organization does. Read the stories of how this program is already affecting so many lives of teens that are in unique situations. If you are interested in donating to this climb, here are the instructions of how to do so:
-Go to http://www.summitforsomeone.org/
-Click on donate
-Click on Fulton, Ben
-Follow instructions from that point on.

Thank you for your interest in supporting a cause that will enable youth to experience life as they never would have imagined.
Peace,
Ben

What a rush!

Well Hello Friends,

Well apparantly one of the perks of preaching is getting to go flying! I preached at a church in Albion Nebraska this weekend, and one of the members took me up and let me fly his airplane! It was a great day. Other than that we are counting our blessings and giving thanks for all of the wonderful friends and family that God has put into our lives. I hope all is well with you all, and drop us a line if you get a chance.

peace,

Ben

What a place!

Could this place be anymore beautiful? Ben took Daivd and I out there a couple of weeks ago and I feel in love with it I could not believe that it was possible to have this kind of beauty in this part of the country. When your there you can't help but feel at peace and I can't wait to take my mom and jessie (the horse) out there to see more.

Out West

Hello all!

This last weekend David and I joined Ben on a trip out west to Sullivan Hills (the camp out west) and we all had a blast. We took a hike up to one of the worship sites on top of a hill and you could see for miles. It was very beautiful and peaceful and I can't wait to go out there and take my horse Jessie for a long weekend this spring hoping that my mom will join me it will be a great time. It was also great to see Ben work and see the impact that he has on people. He spoke at a church on Sunday morning and I had so many people come up to me and say how much they loved him (big surprise). Any way hope that everyone is doing great and we will talk to ya soon.

God Bless

Isn't he cute?

Isn't he just the cutest little boy you have ever seen? This last week David has learned a few things. One is that it is really embarassing for mom and dad when I scream in public. Two is if I cry long enough I should get my way (but that never happens) . And three is my Aunts and Grandmas love to get me out of trouble. By the way grandmas and aunts if you get him out of trouble we are going to send him to live with you when he is a teenager so you may want to rethink that whole spoil thing (HA HA). Hope things are great with the rest of you and we love ya.
God Bless

Happy Halloween!

Hello again everyone, things have been pretty exciting around here as you can see it is Halloween and David couldn't be any more cute. We all went trick or treating tuesday and he (like his dad) was not afraid to go up to any door. I personally think that he was the cutiest Sheriff in the world. The day of Halloween he decided to go fishing in the living room. Other then that things have been good here David and I were in Topeka for a couple of weeks and had a blast while Ben was on a trip for work. It was good to see him again and get back home. We hope that everyone is doing well and we will talk to ya soon.

God Bless
