Easter

Easter is my favorite holiday! I love it not only for the reason we celebrate Easter, but for all the fun that comes in that one very day. This year the kids and I were invited to spend the afternoon at Melissa & Davie Howard's house with their families. Jose was sadly working, so he couldn't join in on all the fun. We had a wonderful Easter meal and the kids enjoyed an very large egg hunt! Thanks to the Howards for inviting us over on such a very special day!! We are really going to miss them when they move to N.C. :(









This time of the year is very very busy around the Ramirez house. This year Tristan has started playing softball. What fun it is!? So now we really feel like we live at the ball park. . . .not only for Jackson but for Tristan, too! But, we actually love it and wouldn't have it any other way!

Congrats to Jackson

Jackson is in a group in Church called "Royal Ambassadors" or RA's. It's sort of like a boy scout group, but it's through the church and they learn how to be young Christian boys. The past few weeks they have been working on Pinewood Cars to have a Pinewood Derby Race. Jose has been helping him work on this car to get it to perfection, they even named it "Highway to Heaven". Well Saturday was the big day! It was a double elimination. So Jackson's car raced, raced and raced, then finally lost his first race. He made it all the way to the finals! He was so anxious, he could barely sit still! He came in 2nd place! Then they had a Car Design Show. . . . Jackson came in 1st!! He had the Best Designed Car!!! My boys really made me proud!

Winter is here

Here in Savannah, it is officialy cold! Of coarse it's not cold enough for snow, durn it! My kids want to see some snow fall so bad! But I can't magically make snow appear here! So we are getting ready to take a little mountain trip, and we are praying that while we are there we will see snow! In a couple weeks, us, along with the Shiell family, the Crawford family and the Morris family are headed to a cabin in the mountains, for a little retreat! We are all taking our kids, so the adults will be WAY out numbered! But, that will be fine because they will all keep each other company! We ask for your prayers for safe travels, good time and snow fall!!!

Back in the groove. . . .

Well here we are already halfway through January, it's unbelievable!! As for us, we are officially back in the grove of things around here since the long Holiday Break! Jackson has already started baseball practice - in this cold weather! And Tristan is back into swing of things at dance class. They brought home report cards this week and we are very, very proud of them and their grades! Jackson has all A's and B's, which is great, because I'm not really sure where this kid came from this year!!!! Tristan is only in Kindergarten so they don't have letter grades. But from what the teacher tells us she can color good, count right and she can write her name!! So we are just as proud of her! Life is great around here, not much to complain about! Hope life is treating everyone good! Love to all and keep in touch. . . . .

It has come and gone

What a Wonderful Christmas we had this year! The kids couldn't have asked for anything MORE (and got everything they asked for)! Imagine that! They got a Wii and have not stopped playing it since. It is hooked up on the living room TV, so poor Jose has to go watch TV in the bedroom! He's not too happy about that (but he will get over it)! Hope everyone's Christmas was as good as ours!!

The Best Time of the Year

We are busy getting ready for Christmas! I am still waiting for my Christmas card pictures to come in the mail, so eventually I will get them along with my letter put in the mail to all of you very soon! Every day I rush home from work, hoping that my cards have arrived, but only to get more saddened when I find them not here!!!!! Ya'll might get them by New Years!
Merry Christmas to all and Remember THE REASON FOR THIS SEASON!!!!!!
