Fantastic Saturday

This past saturday on the 18th we had beautiful weather. I took Gage to a football clinic with the Indiana State University football team. He got to do some training with them and he looked like he had a lot of fun. They broke them up in several differnt groups and they worked so long with each group to learn different parts of the team. Afterwards they were given a snack and were asked if they could stay to watch their spring scrimmage. We couldn't stay for that but it was a good thing for him to do. Here is a slideshow of his time with the team.


Gage in this video is wearing the number 76 shirt.

After the football we came home on decided to go on a picnic. We got us some drinks and some food and headed to wherever Randy decided to go. We nded up at McCormick's Creek State Park in Spencer, Indiana. It's approximately 40 miles from us. We went hiking and saw wolf cave and just enjoyed nature blooming and the creek. We ended up at a playground and let the kids play why we cooked supper and talked about what to do next. We chose to take another trail and walked by the family cabins. It was getting kind of late and my ankle was sore so we went home to relax. Here is a slideshow of some of the pictures I took while there.

Happy Easter!

First and foremost I want to wish each and everyone of you a safe and Happy Easter!

The kids & I attended church service on Thursday, Friday and Sunday. We dyed eggs Saturday night and sis had a blast. Sis was absolutly overjoyed to get her Easter Basket. After church we came home and I made breakfast and then we went to hunt down egg hunts. We missed them all so we let the kids play at the park and when we got back home Gage & I hid eggs in the yard for Faith to find. All in all it has been a good weekend.

Interesting E-mail I recieved

John Kennedy once said to a assembled group of scholars in the White House: " I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered at the White House - with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."

The quotes below could prove his point.

When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe . Thomas Jefferson

The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not. Thomas Jefferson

It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world. Thomas Jefferson

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. Thomas Jefferson

My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government. Thomas Jefferson

No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. Thomas Jefferson

The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government. Thomas Jefferson

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. Thomas Jefferson

Very Interesting Quote: In light of the present financial crisis, it's interesting to read what Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:

Banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.

Doesn't this sound eerily familiar to what is happening in America today?

I don't about you but I agree with this totally.

A nice afternoon

This past Friday we decided to go for a walk and took the kids to the park since it was a nice day. No rain, just sunshine. It was a bit chilly but that didn't stop us. I of course took my camera. Sis played on the equipment and we tossed bubby the football. I got a cpl of good shots of the trees and other stuff.

Also last Sunday I was given a prayer shawel from some of the women in the church who said that they thought I could use a few prayers and everytime I use it I will know that I am being thought of. It was so sweet and I was so surprised.
