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.

Motion & Matter Part 2 the video's

Here are the video's I promised of the kids doing some of the activities at Ivy Tech. The hillbilly sounding voice is me you here LOL! Enjoy!

This is Faith waving and doing laproscopic surgery.

Here Gage and Faith use special goggles to simulate drinking levels to how impaired you get with alcohol.

This is a small video of the virtual roller coaster we got to see there.

Matter & Motion @ Ivy Tech

Over the weekend I took the kids to the Matter & Motion fair at Ivy Tech State College. We did this last year also but the kids wanted to go back so I took them. The fair has craft's, games, and information about the college courses there and other vital information you may need. The kids made slime and learned about chemistry, sis got to duck hunt, plant a seed, got fingerprinted, got to walk a course to what it is like to be drunk usuing special goggles, learned about the weather from the local weather team, and to do laproscopic surgery and more. Here are the photo's of our day.





I'll do another post with a few of the video's I took also of them. We had alot of fun.

Easter Memories.

I've been through some photo's I have on disc and I came across some old photo's of me at Easter time. So I just wanted to share a couple of them with you.
The first set is just me at my grandma's house and with my dad.

This set I think I'm around 5 years old.

As I find some more I will share them.
