our latest news

We've been busy here. Still waiting to get the prize from the contest... all forms have been filed, so now it's a waiting game.

Caleb finally got to ride the bike he got for Christmas from "Santa". Amy took him around the block and said, "he's a natural!" I think I'd be too with training wheels. (see picture)


Joel is healing up after his climbing accident. A cut under his nose and above his top lip for his efforts. He still didn't learn the lesson about climbing... he cried out, "HELP DADDY I'M STUCK!" I found him attempting to get a movie down from my book shelf in the basement. Thankfully that shelf is firmly attached!

Also... If you in the Buffalo area Sunday I'm speaking! for directions and times check out: cornerstoneoncapen.com that's the website for Cornerstone Community church.

Still waiting...

We received an e-mail on Monday congratulating us for being winners. It told us that another company would be "shortly" contacting us to tell us what prize we have won. It also said that all prizes would be awarded "randomly"... so we have no idea what we'll be getting! Hopefully we'll be contacted tomorrow. Stay tuned for more information as we know it!

The boys video thank you!

here's an extra thank you from the boys!

Thank you and dance!

As you know we ended up 111 votes short, but still, 2nd place is pretty impressive! We were the "pace car" for most of this contest and will know exactly what we've won on Monday after they e-mail us the "official" results. I could say we smelled something 'fowl' going on and wouldn't you know it was that turkey! Thank you for helping us run a great race!

Here's the dancing video from the boys:

Glitch fixed contest extended to April 25th!

Hey everyone! They fixed the glitch! Unfortunately all the votes before today (3/21) were not added in. So everyone started at zero for the day. Because of this they extended the contest till 4/25/08. We so appreciate you our friends and family being part of this with us. Right now as of this moment we have 79 votes and are in 2nd place. The first place is at 88. It trails off after us with 57 and 55 votes respectively. The system refreshes the vote total every two hours so this may not be all of the votes yet for the day.

Thanks again for being part of this fun contest!

Lonnie, Amy, Caleb, Joel and (Jimmy Neutron!)

THE LINK IF YOU MISSED IT: Vote Chrysler Jimmy Adventures

Voting Glitches being fixed...

We've gotten word that even though people are voting they are having a problem with the tabulation being correctly displayed. They assured us that all votes are being counted and by morning on March 21st they should have the glitch fixed.

Thank you everyone for your support! Keep those votes coming!!!

Good news!

While we were all sitting at home trying to get over some nasty bug that has had us ALL down for over a week now... (ARGH!) watching the movie "The Gameplan" (I laughed, I cried, it moved me...) The doorbell rang and there was a pounding at the back door. Caleb sprung up and flew to the door, opening it. Normally that isn't a good thing, however, it was the FedEx guy. Caleb retrieved the package and handed it to me. It was from, "Meredith Corporation" (I think magazines... Better Homes and Gardens, Renovation Style, etc..) I knew exactly what it was!

We had entered an online contest that Meredith Corporation sponsors. Chrysler Jimmy (Neutron) Adventures. To enter we took a cutout of Jimmy Neutron standing next to a Chrysler Van and had Joel hold the picture out as we took a picture of he and Caleb. The picture had to be about a memorable time and we decided that we'd visit our good friends Tim and Amy Newman at the City of Tonawanda Fire Department Headquarters for a tour and picture adventure. The last picture we took of Caleb and Joel, they were wearing their "Fire Chief" hats and standing by a fire truck... Joel held out the Jimmy picture and Caleb held a fire hose. PERFECT!

We went online and submitted it along with our description of why it was memorable and... now we are one of 20 finalists (at least that's the number they were picking from all the entries). From the final 20 there are 6 grand prize winners. Each of the prizes is worth an estimated $6,500.00. They range from a trip to Orlando, FL to the Nick theme hotel (with spending money, car rental, etc) to a $5,000.00 Best Buy Card and a $1,000 Nick Store card.

OK... so we have signed and had our papers notarized and they are being sent back even now.
The next step of choosing the 6 Grand Prize winners comes March 18th to April 22nd. (unless they change something.) YOUR votes will help determine the winner of the contest! So when we know something more we will post it here.

We are sooooooo excited here about this. God is good!
