First Ever!

G out did himself again! He went Turkey hunting this weekend with P and was able to bring home this bird! I am beginning to think that all I blog about are G's "great white hunter experiences" - I need to apologize for those of you who have weak stomaches. Anyways - took them an hour to call this bird in, and G was so anxious that he shot at 30 yards and got him - one shot. The bird was 21 pounds! We fried some strips us last night and they were ok - I think it's mind over matter with me. I hate to think of what I am actually eating.
Thanks to Gramps this time we have photos.

I think I can see an end!

Haven't blogged in awhile just because lots of changes have taken place over the last few weeks. As most of you know I am now working for Greg, and things are WAY different than they used to be. I'm still doing everything I used to do, but now it's just 10 time more! That's good, but it has been pushing buttons on my availability time. In my quiet time I have been studying about priorities for the last couple of days, and it has really hit home. I have a family and I truly want and need to spend time with them, I have a job that helps pay the bills, so I need it, and I have a church that I love to be involved with and help where ever I can. Gosh, I kept praying to God asking Him that he surely approved of me doing all these things, but why wasn't it working anymore? I love my quite time with God, because that's how I got this time to blog. He fixes everything! Seek Him first! He tell us that over and over in His word, we just have to be obedient. Everyday God shows me and helps me prepare my day, because I seek Him first! Sometimes you just have those A HAH moments and you have to share.

The kids have been enjoying the nice weather on the very FEW days we get it, G and P have been fishing, thanks to Grams I have pictures of those -

The girls have dance all weekend, so I'll try to get some pictures and post them next week!

Spring Has Sprung!

Spring has sprung on the Ramsey farm, and hard to believe Easter is over and it's still MARCH! Well the kids have been out enjoying the nice weather and playing with their new found friend, Caroline.


Caroline was a twin born earlier this winter and has been bottle fed since the day she was born. The kids, especially M, loves to feed her, and she can down an entire bottle in less than a minute!

As much as I say living on a farm is not my idea of fun, I am REALLY glad my kids get to enjoy these kind of moments thanks to their grams and gramps!

It's Official

Well - it's official. Ken will be retiring March 31 and I feel like a part of me wants to cry and the other part of me is so proud to have worked for a man of such integrity. Ken has been with state farm for 43 years and 9 months! WOW! Of that time I have been able to share almost 15 years of employment with him! He has taught me so much through my career with this company, his wisdom in the business world, along with his love for his family, and the faith he has in God. He is an incredible man! So Ken - Congratulations!- you deserve to retire, play at the farm, and work hard in other areas of your life besides at the office! I would like to invite everyone, customers, friends, & family to Ken's Retirement Open House this Friday, March 21st, anytime between 11:00 am - 6:00 pm. Our way of saying THANK YOU!!!!

Birthday's, Birthday's, Birthday's!

This past weekend T turned 9! I can't believe that 9 years has already past. It seems like yesterday I had this miracle! We had a complete party with 7 of her friends that spent the night, and boy that was FUN!

Here they are all SITTING - that didn't happen too often! They decided to watch Hannah Montanna while they ate their cake - YUM YUM!

After going to bed at midnight - they ALL woke up bright and early and started in on their stunts!

And today is Mr. Pops birthday. Thanks to M I have this wonderful photo to share of my loving husband.

Hat's off to you Mr Pops - your a wonderful husband and dad and we love you very much!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! XOXOXOXOXO

Fun in the snow!

We decided before ALL the snow would melt away, and since there has been so MUCH of it for such a LONG time, we would have a little fun. It wasn't bitter cold, and it was actually melting as we were making our snowmen!
First you start with a small snowball and start rolling and rolling, and then eventually it will turn into this.



It's really great if you can convince your sister to help you!

But then she actually makes a bigger snowball than you? That's not right!! Oh well! Now we have two snowballs.
Now that we have two snowballs, we need to stack them. Hmmm - I don't think my sister and I can do this by ourselves, we're going to have to call in reinforcements!
Yeah! It's super dad to the rescue. This is great! M decorates the first snowman. OH how cute!

And then before you know it, we're having so much fun that we now have an entire Snowfamily!!
Ahh - this snowman making is too much hard work - let's go have fun! I know, let's go sledding!
Watch out mom, I can go fast! Here I come!
Weeeeee! This is so much fun!
We had a great day!
Just an update on how fast the snow was melting, last night we came home from church and a couple of the snowmen had lost their heads. Yipee - maybe spring really is around the corner!!

He's 21!!! (Finally)

Happy Birthday Alex!!!
WOW! Can't believe your finally 21! But that just makes me that much older :>( We celebrated Saturday night and at 21 and towering at 6ft something - he's still my little brother! The purse thing is starting to worry me though!
Who's birthday is it? Looks like everyone but the birthday boy is blowing out the candles! Sorry uncle Alex - gotta love the nieces and nephew.

In other new this week - Ozzi got caught up in the chaos... Too many shoes to pick from...all these people make me tired!!! Notice the new do!! Shaven and clean with a sporty new T-shirt!
M has not been well for a while, but she was feeling good enough to give us a pose! She loves the camera!
