Promised pics

Alex and Tym were talking on the phones while we were waiting for dad.

This is the body surfing part of the Waterpark of America that we went to on Sunday.

So we went to Aquire the Fire last weekend in Minneapolis and we had a blast.

The top picture is Alex hanging with us Kristen's. The bottom is Tym and Alex at the Mall of America's Lego Land.

Next is Tym showing his award from his basketball season. Tymothy was awarded the Great Character award. He was thrilled with that.

Mike and I visited Mt. Rushmore a few weeks ago on the other side of the state. Man, it was a boring ride to get to Rapid City but the trip up the hills was great. The pics don't do it justice.

Well we hope you are all doing well. We'll try to keep you updated. We started a new service at The Filling Station called 11:11. The senior high students get together on Friday nights at 11:11pm and have a service. I went to the first preview service (I don't have to go, the students are taking over the worship area) and they had 39 students there. Wow, it was just an idea that I think may have reached a few students. Hopefully this gets infectious and we can reach even more. We will have another one on March 20th so be praying for us about that.

We miss you all and love you...

The last month

I'll be posting new pics soon...I keep leaving the camera bag in the car that Mike drives. I have some new pics of our life lately. Stay tuned for further info............

A little bit of Southern Comfort!!

We had a southern night at our house... Here I am enjoying the great food that my adoring husband made for us. He is an awesome cook for those of you who didn't know. The menu was seasoned salmon fillets-seared and baked, crawfish boiled in Cajun seasoning, rice, salad (for me), and noodles. Alex had her own comfort food, mac n cheese but it was special...scooby-doo.

Tym ate a whopping 12 or so crawfish on his own. He barely even touched his mac n cheese. He even shelled them himself and ate them without sauce.

This is the master piece before we ate it. Doesn't it look amazing?

If you want some we have more.....come and get it!!!

All of our snow is melting. The temp was 40 degrees today and that is above 0. We feel like it's spring around here. It is supposed to get cold again though. Well, we're hangin' in there. We still haven't found a car but we are looking very carefully. We have tried the auto auctions and places like that. We have to wait for them to call back because they look for you to see if they have anything that you would want. You can't just tell them that you want anything. It has to be specific.

I hope that you are all doing well. We miss you. Much love....

Prayer Request

Ok so I don't usually ask for much help. We are really in need of a car. We have been praying so hard but nothing has come up. We are just asking for you to pray with us about this. It sounds petty to ask about a car but we need it really bad. Mike and I work on seperate sides of the city and we are always having to compromise something because of the one vehicle. Just pray that we will find something affordable. We are saving money for a used car that will get us from here to there. If God brings us something else we would be greatful. We know that you will all pray with us. We love you all...

Mike made it home

I took a few pics of our weather today. The top pic is from our kitchen window out onto the street toward the west. Our wind has picked up to high of 50mph and the drifts are incredible. Our temp this am was 27 or so and it dropped down to 7 by the time I left school. Our temp during the night is supposed to be -7 with a -22 degree windchill. We are so excited about that. We are also to getting more snow. This is basically the same thing only from outside. The sunset was amazing tonight.

Just FYI: Mike finally made it home safely. It was about 9pm last night but we were all waiting for him. Thanks for all the prayers and encouragement while he was away.

Much Love...

Weekend without Dad

Here's some things that we did this weekend without dad. He's still gone...it's Sunday afternoon now. Hopefully he will be in the car on his way home from Minneapolis soon.
Thanks Nathan and Robbie for the awesome scarves. They are so great and kept us warm while we were out in the snow. They even matched too.

CHEESEBURGER!!! Literally, we went to McDonalds yesterday. What fun.

Tym had a basketball game at the YMCA. He is the one with his hands up. Yes, play that defense.

Alex was practicing taking her own picture.

This is a little bit of our snow. We had more last night and we are supposed to get a bunch tonight. This is out the backdoor. If you look real hard you can see the pee stain from joe joe.

Well, hope you are all doing well so far this new year. We miss you all.

Much love...

Grandpa Ramsey

For those of you who read this regularly... Mike's grandpa Ramsey (Sally's dad) passed away this past Monday. It was very shocking since we had just seen him at Christmas. I guess he has had heart trouble for years and it finally gave up, he died Monday at the hospital in Richmond of a heart attack. Please pray for Mike, he went home yesterday to be with the family. They asked him to do the Eulogy but not be too preachy. How do you do that? Anyway, we are all doing well. Just chugging on and handling things at home. Love you all...
