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!)

Hey friends, family and people who just want to see what we are doing...

WE NEED YOUR HELP!!! We're in the finals of the Chrysler Jimmy Adventures contest. The top 6 vote getters from March 18th to April 22nd get grand prizes!

Once there you have to sign up for an account. Once you have an account you can return each day and vote. Our picture looks like this one. No names are attached to any of the photos, so hopefully our picture will help you find our boys!

Thanks so much for your help!

It did snow!

I ended my last post with "let it snow..." And it did! We had officially 22 inches from Friday about 9am to Sunday morning 7am. And that was with two breaks in the snow!
Since we had the snow we thought it might be nice to get out and do something with it... TODAY

Enjoy the pictures!

If you don't like the weather just wait a day...

Sunday we were sledding. Monday we were grilling with 63 degree weather and mostly sunny skies! Tuesday we watched as the clouds came back and brought sleet and freezing rain, enough for ice skating... As I write it's finally turned to all snow again. They are telling us that there is a "possibility" not "probability" of serious accumulating snows on Friday night into Saturday. So.. mom in Wisconsin, we may get that snow dumped on us yet! But thanks for the offer and the books for the boys. Amy sat down with Caleb tonight and had him sound out words. She said, "His face just lit up when he realized that he was reading!" We register him for school March 18-20th. He won't actually start till the end of August or beginning of September. I can't believe my baby is going to start Kindergarten in the Fall.

Oh well... let it snow...

Sledding Fun!

So we finally got some snow and it was actually warm enough to enjoy it too... note: not 9 degrees and then 38 and melted away...

Any how, we all got to have fun. I got to do most of the pulling up the hill. Caleb asked me, "Why did you push us so hard?" And to be honest we didn't push all that hard it was just steep enough and the boys were just heavy enough together that they picked up some good speed. Lots of fun in a 30 minutes work out.

So in other fun facts this week... Joel decided to take his PJ pants off and slide down the stairs in his diaper. Upon reaching half way I heard a, "Oh... OH!!!!!!!!!" Yea, he had two light red patches on the back of his legs. He said, "I'm wounded!" So we put some Desitin on it and by morning he was good to go.

That's about all for now that I can post. We'll let you know when they post the picture of the boys on the web site for the Chrysler Jimmy Adventures thing on March 18th!!!

Peace to you all!

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!
