Any Questions?
Bryce too wanted to pee on a stick to see if he could have a baby. He was quite excited about me taking the test but also worried that I was going to pee the baby out. He keeps asking to pee on the other stick because the test came in a two pack. Please join us in prayer for a healthy pregnancy and baby.

By Paul Waldschmidt, staff writer Sand Springs Leader - 08/21/08
The accident occurred in the eastbound lane of U.S. Highway 64, just west of the 81st West Avenue exit at 2:15 p.m.
Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper Quenton Payne said a 2003 Chevrolet pickup truck, driven by Juan Alaniz Amezcua, of Seattle, Wash., had stopped in the outside eastbound of U.S. Highway 64 to retrieve a piece of furniture that had fallen off another vehicle and which was partially blocking the highway.
A 1997 Ford Contour, driven by Chelsey Hill, 23, of Owasso, “swerved to miss the object on the roadway” and struck Amerzcua’s pickup truck in the rear, Payne said in his report.
The impact sent the pickup truck across three highway lanes, witnesses said.
Sand Springs firefighters had to use hydraulic power tools to extricate Hill from the wreckage of her car.
Hill was pinned in her car for 30 minutes. She suffered head and leg injuries and was taken by ambulance to St. Johns Hospital in stable condition, Payne said.
Amezcua was not injured.

We decided to take Bryce on a mini-vacation. So we loaded up the car and headed to Independance, Kansas. You are probably thinking what is there to do in Independance - for a 4 year old there is plenty. Riverside Park has a Zoo, huge playground, a train ride for a quarter, miniature golf, Merry-Go-Round for a nickel, and Riverside Beach Waterpark. Our hotel has a indoor pool as well, which has proved useful since RBW got rained out. Bryce has had a smashing good time and it has been worth every minute seeing him just enjoying himself.

It is so hard to believe that Bryce is 4 years old. It seems like only yesterday he was born. What a delight he has been and he continues to be. Bryce wanted a brother or sister for his birthday and since that was impossible he settled for a puppy. We looked at many dogs and he decided he wanted a Westie. We had to wait a long time for the puppy and Bryce would ask all the time about when his puppy would be ready to come home. Smokey Reggie Hall was born March 10, 2008 and we finally were able to pick him up on May 4th. Watching Bryce play with Smokey and seeing the smile on his face was priceless.

On Tuesday, February 26th Justin was named Sand Springs Firefighter of the Year. I am so very proud of him and his accomplishments. Justin has really inspired Bryce to follow in his footsteps. Bryce wants to be just like his Daddy– a fireman. He says that when he gets Big he is going to be a fireman and get an award just like his Daddy. Way to go Justin you really deserved it!

Facing the Giants is without a doubt one of the greatest movies of the year. Filmed by a church in Georgia, it is packed with great christian advise for young and old alike!

During the November snow storm of ‘06 we had pulled our trucks into the bay at Station 1 to keep them from being recovered by snow overnight. While returning from the store, Stephen Brewer had secured himself to the beam above the door. Read the rest of this entry »

LEWISBURG A family, community and brothers in arms came together Wednesday to grieve for U.S. Marine Staff Sgt. Marcus Andrew “Marc” Golczynski, 30, who was killed in Iraq last week.
Hundreds attended the Marine’s funeral at the Church Street Church of Christ, sharing tears, laughter, song and prayer.
As 8-year-old Christian Golczynski accepted the flag from his father’s casket, tears flowed freely from the mourners, and even Marine Lt. Col. Ric Thompson, who presented the flag to the boy, showed a trace of emotion.
“My Marc made the sacrifice for my freedom,” said Heather Southward Golczynski, widow of the fallen Marine. “That is a debt I won’t ever be able to repay.” Read the rest of this entry »
