More snow

Hello all
Over night it dumped about 6 inches of snow on us. Some people may see this as a problem but not us we went out and played. David was such a kick he dove face first right into the snow. Dad (Ben) showed him how to eat the fluffy white stuff and he was set. When we finally had to go because David was shivering. Ben and I both thought that he was for sure having the first break down of his life. He cried so hard that I not sure what was running faster his nose or the tears. What can we say the boy loves to be outside!! Oh well until next time, we will talk to ya all soon.
God Bless

The New Year

Well it's a new year and we are having to much fun. The other day we got about 4in of snow so we decided to go sledding. David had a blast and when we left he cried and did not want to go home even though his nose and cheeks were sooooo red from the wind. Then as soon as we got home he past out. Other then the cold weather things are good Ben is working hard as usual and David is growing and learning more every day. As for myself I applied to Midland Lutheran College and so far plan to start next fall. I think that is one of the scariest things that I have ever done but what is fun about life unless you push your self to do new things. We will see what happens next. I hope that everyone is doing great.
God Bless

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.
