So this was definitely a record day for us. Our total driving distance for today was 6.7 miles I think it was!!! It was WONDERFUL!! We actually got to come home for the afternoon, get our PJ'S on and take a nap. An hour and a half to be exact!! It felt So good.
Today Mark is in the studio, I am doing CD'S and a lot of running around today. Mailing off CD'S getting groceries and catching up on Thank you notes.
We have a full week again this week. Mark will be recording a group today and tomorrow. We will be recording on ours as well! We are starting to think that this will be our best CD yet. Why you might ask? The words to all of the songs our AWESOME and we hope that you will think so too!!
Thank you for your support. I need to get back to my Cd job that I have to have in the mail in just a few hours. Better run. Thanks for your prayers. We have MANY needs this week/month so your prayers would be GREATLY appreciated! God bless!

A PLEASANT SURPRISE!!!
So last night ( Wednesday) we were driving home from our meeting and Mark and I were talking about my mom and dad leaving my sisters house this morning ( Thursday) to head home. He made a great suggestion that I try and call them to see if we could meet up today ( Thursday) to eat breakfast/lunch on their way through Flint. The timing was quit good.
They came through about 10:45 and so we met up at Cracker Barrel so that we all could get what we wanted. But, we all ended up eating Breakfast anyway. They do have good breakfast food.
So I was so glad to see them one more time before they headed home to Kentucky. We will see them in September when they come up for our homecoming with the Booth Brothers. Speaking of which you ALL NEED to come too!!!
It was a great treat for us all to see them, except that Tyler thought that MeMe and Paw Paw were coming back to our house after we ate. When we got in the car and headed home he said,
"Are they hind us ( behind us)? And we had to try and explain AGAIN that they were not coming back to our house. He did not like this all to well, but slowly got over the fact that they were not here at the house.
We will talk to you soon. I just had to share my treat with you all too! Take care and remember make our Lord proud!

A Good Time Was Had By All!!
My mom and dad are now gone and are with my sister and her family in Gaylord Michigan.
We had such a good time. We took Tyler to chuck'e'cheese with them and he thought that this was the greatest thing ever! Dad and mom treated us to so many things. We played games together, went to Frankenmuth and rode the Bavarian Bell paddle boat, ate out I don't know how many times and slept in EVERY morning!! I was SO proud of them for sleeping in like they did. They needed the rest.
It was a little weird however, that we had to leave Saturday and go to Kentucky to stay at their house to do the meetings that we had yesterday( Sunday) while they were still at our house. My dad had a meeting here in Michigan Sunday. Tyler was a little confused that they were not going with us and that they were not there at their house when we arrived.
We had great meetings in Ky. and the Lord gave us safety all the way there in back in smite of the many traffic jams that we were in.
We are now back home and have accomplished a lot since 6:00 p.m. I have everything put away out of the car, a load of clothes done, the house straight, our clothes ready for tomorrows meeting, the yard mowed, Tyler bathed and everyone has been fed!!! So, now we are resting. Mark helped me get all of the junk out of the car and started to work on our CD. He got one track made. It sounds great!! He is SO GOOD!! He can hear a track and make it sound just like the original with a little twist of " MARK" !! I am excited about this album. We have some really good songs with some GREAT messages which is why we do what we do!
We have a BIG week a head of us with LOTS to do and many places to be. So we covet your prayers this week.
I will try and let you in on our week later. Have a good week and remember go and make our Lord proud of you in something that you say or do this week!!
God Bless,
Andrea

FIREWORK bugs!!!
Our weekend was great. We drove to Lima Ohio on Saturday and the church put us up in a really nice motel. They had a pool, so you know what we all did? Tyler, Mark and I had a good time, the whole pool to ourselves to be exact!! Yeah!! Just like we like it. We set up our equipment ahead of time so we could just go to church like normal people!
We got home later last night. I put some things away and cleaned a little. I then heard fireworks going off in the back yard while closing my curtains in my room. So I called Tyler in real quick. He saw the last bit of them and then saw all of the Lightning bugs. He said, " There's more fireworks!!!" It never occurred to me that he might not know what they were. So at 10:30 p.m. last night Tyler and I headed outside to try and catch a lightning bug. Well, we did. It was a challenge since it was so dark, but I kept trying. He got to see one and then he was hooked. He thought that they were SO neat. Another moment of Tyler and mommy time. I LOVE THEM!!!
Today's the day. My mom and dad are on there way. We are almost ready for them. I have to dust and vacuum. I am looking forward to them being here with us and I know that Tyler is too.
Thank you for your prayers. We live by them and need them greatly. I do not know if I will be doing my blog this week with my family up and doing all that we have planned, but you never know, so you better look just in case! Thanks for your support, have good week.
God Bless,

Electronics.......Gotta love'em!
So this week is not our week for electronics. First the piano went out on us on Sunday,of which we have not been able to replace yet. Then Tyler's portable DVD player went bad too. So since a portable DVD player is cheaper to replace than a piano, and we are driving to Ohio this weekend to sing on Sunday. Guess who is getting a piece of electronic equipment first?? Yes, that's right. Tyler and I are going to leave in a little while to go get him a player. Matter of fact I just got on line at Best Buy and found him one for $76.00.....But I got a coupon in the mail just yesterday for $10.00 off any purchase more than $10.00. So not to bad to get him a player for $66.00. Of course you are never ready to replace anything, money wise, but this is the way to go if you do have to.
Mark is gone to Lansing to record, Tyler is taking a nap and I am updating my blog and I am on the phone with my best friend at the same time!! Talented huh? So when Tyler wakes up we are going to get his DVD player.
I am looking forward to Monday. My mom and dad are coming in and staying for a whole week. We have lots of fun things planned while they are here.
Hope that you are having a good week. I just finished up doing 350 Cd's today and I have 150 to do tomorrow. So I am having a good, but busy week.
I mailed off 3 more credit card applications with gospel tracts in them. So by about Friday they should be getting them. I pray that they read them and get something out of them. If nothing else, someone has to plant a seed.....why not me???? Use me Lord, that is my prayer! I hope that this one is yours too.
Thanks for stopping by and seeing what is going on in my life. Hope that you are doing good and have done something to make our Saviour proud this week. Have a good day, until we meet again.
God Bless,
Andrea

Fun, Food, and Family!
We had a great weekend with my brother-in-law, sister-in-law and their kids. We grilled out chicken that was cooked by my brother-in-law that was to die for!!! He grills a lot and tries all kinds of recipes, and he hit this one on the head!!! It was DELICIOUS!!!
We took the kids to play in some giant water sprinklers. Then went to see some fireworks with them. This was Tyler's first time. It was SO much fun watching him. He was jumping up and down and smiling the whole time. Not scared at all!! I thought that he would be scared, but he proved me wrong!!! We did not get home until about 12.30 a.m. but it was worth it. They were the best fireworks that I have ever seen in my whole life!
I already had our clothes ironed and the bags packed for the weekend when we left the night before for fireworks. So we were ready to go. We left for our weekend meetings and the first journey in our new vehicle on Saturday afternoon.
We had good meetings and the Lord was good to us in all kinds of ways. As HE always is. It is the little things that the Lord does that keeps us going!!!
Today ( Monday) was once again laundry day, grocery shopping and writing out the bills. Plus some CD jobs. I saved another $21.00 in my coupons. I am the coupon queen. If you know me this is my hobby and "love to do "chore on Sundays with the Sunday paper. I am so known for this that my mom mails here coupon clippings to me from her Sunday paper as well. What I really love is when my coupons are so good that the store should actually owe me money. Like today I needed some shaving gel, I had a coupon for a dollar off and our Kroger's doubles a $1.00. It was on sale for $1.89 and so in reality they owed me 11 cents!!
Tomorrow is Cd day. I have 350 Cd's to do and I need to mow the yard. I actually did not get to it at all last week because of all the rain. So this week it is ready to be mowed. I am sure that I will have a shadow again (Tyler). He is my mowing buddy.
I hope that you all had a good weekend and I hope that you have a good week. My parents are coming in to stay a week with us next week and I cannot wait!! We have things all planned out to do with them if the weather permits. And I even have my meals planned out. A little something about me is that I like to be organized and have things all planned out. I am all ready for them to come. Please pray that they have safety her. It is a 8 hour drive and with dads health ( legs) it is hard for him to drive and sit for a long time. So mom has to drive a lot more than the past.
Thank you for your continued support to us and your letters of encouragement. It means tons to us!! May the Lord bless you in your work for Him. Let's all strive to do something this week to make him proud!!! I know that I sure am going to TRY. Have a good one!

BOOM!! BANG!!! KUR-PLUNCK!!!
So tomorrow is the BIG day!! We are going to hang out with Mark's brother and his family, cookout, and then go see some Fireworks!! This should be SO much fun with Tyler. He has NEVER seen big fireworks. Unless you include, bottle rockets? My sister-in-law called me and I guess that we are going to take Tyler and my niece to a park and a place that has fun water sprinklers. Don't know to much about it, but it sounds fun to me too!
So a few adventures have taken place with Tyler and I . He and I went for a walk, or should I say, I went for a walk and he enjoyed a nice ride in his stroller. Oh, well it didn't hurt me any that is for sure!! Anyway, on our way back from our walk the sun was shining just right and he discovered his shadow!! He was SO much fun. He kept saying, " mommy do something", wanting me to wave and act silly in my shadow, of which I did!! It was quite the show!
We then came back and got him cleaned up and got his jammies on, his favorite part of the day! About an hour later I heard the ice cream truck coming through our neighborhood and surprised him with a treat...........barely!! I ran and got my wallet and discovered that the truck had just left our street and was heading into the bigger part of our subdivision. I had him all excited and realized it might not be back. So I told him that we should sit on the porch and listen for the music and if it got close enough we would go out after it. Thankfully about 10 minutes later, it headed back down the street that runs parallel to ours. So jammies, house shoes on his feet and mine and all , I swooped him up and I went running down our street with Tyler in hand to stop the truck! He got SO excited. He was jumping up and down! I said what kind do you want and he said, " something BLUE!!" YEAH, I thought to my self and his nice clean jammies. But, your only a kid once, so he got his blue ice cream! We also got Mark one too!! Couldn't leave the BIG KID out!!
Yesterday I had to pick up a few groceries so I went to Mejiers so that Tyler could ride in the carts that play the cartoons while you shop. You pay a dollar and the proceeds go to St. Jude's. He LOVES doing this and it is another adventure that he has with his mommy!
He then came home and played in his sand box for about an hour. He loves his sand box, or as he says" his dirt box".
We are looking forward to the weekend with family as I hope that you get the chance to do so too!!
We are singing 3 times this weekend. So please pray for us that the Lord will bless. We have some GREAT needs and the Lord knows them all! We also want to be a blessing to all that attend our meetings as well. Thank you for your prayers! Have a GREAT weekend!
