New Fish

I got 2 new fish! I think Uncle jason will like the first one and Uncle Joey will like the second one. Their names are [Red Raider and Longhorn.]The reason i picked those names were because, well one looks like a Longhorn the other looks like a Red Raider.Jaden and Jaxon need to come feed them so they can get a feel of what its like [and maybe can have two fish............we hope.]

Steven's Benefit Supper

Well the time is drawing closer for Steven's scholarship fund raiser. We are planning the event to coincide with the Olney boy's baseball game against City View on April 3. The time for this to start is around 4:30. We won't have the girls in town that evening, but this was the only Friday around the time we like to do the benefit, soooooo... We are going to serve chopped BBQ sandwiches, chips, the trimmings and a drink, all for just $5.00!! So mark your calendars and be here if you can. Jami has graciously volunteered to make our fliers and an ad for the Olney "Surprise" paper. We couldn't do all of this without the very wonderful help of our family and friends! If you show up to work that night we'll even let you wear one of our very spiffy red aprons that Jami had made last year. So mark you calendar for Friday, April 3 to be in Olney, at the baseball field under the new pavillion to help serve up a great meal for a wonderful cause!

Im Here Too

Hey i love all of ya'll. Ya'll need to come down for my baseball so ya'll can see me hit a homer.



I love this. [Now i hope im better than both my parents]

Cody

It had to happen

Well I guess it was eventually going to happen!! My curious nature has gotten the best of me. So here I go, being thrust into this technological madness of bloging(sp). I have certainly enjoyed reading and getting to know my wife's family through thier blogs. We have some really special and talented kin folk!!!

We have been very busy since Tami's last posting. Cody competed in the Young County Livestock show. He made the premium sale with one of his pigs. The other was sold on the floor. Didn't think we could get him home and in the freezer without letting Aunt Jamie know that we were going to eat "Petunia" when they come to visit!! Cody realy wanted to, but we didn't!! Angela and Justin are expecting another baby!! I am excited. I hope that it is a boy, as Justin really would like to have one. I'll take either kind. Those little girls are truly something special.

We had our annual "Coaches Cook" and fed 80 people. The menu was sliced brisket, smoked sausage, savory ribs and herb and garlic chicken. Potato salad, Waynes Famous baked beans, pickel and onion tray and peach cobbler!! It turned out well and there was much fellowship to be had. Kent, Elizabeth and the boys were here as was Rayla and her young. It was a busy day but it was certainly worth it. We missed having my in-laws here, but that is alright, there will be other cooks.

Speaking of, we have settled on Steven's scholarship cook to be on April 3, 2009. This will be during the boys baseball game. Start time will be around 4:30 and end when and if we can sell out of BBQ sandwiches. I do not expect as good a year as last year, as the girls will be out of town for this game, unless we change the date. This will be on a friday, so all those interested, please come and visit and have some BBQ. I have some real nice aprons, provided and expertly designed by my sister-in-law Jamie, that I will gladly let you use if you feel the need to help!!!! We raised a little over $10,000 last year so I think we have our work cut out for us. This will be the 5th year for this event. Doesn't really seem that long since we lost Steven. Sure do miss that boy!! But his memory and what he was about will live on at least in our hearts and in our memories. Look forward to seeing all who can come and be a part of this worthy cause.

I guess that is all for my first time delving into the 21st century.

Ya'll come and see us when you can!

We're Finally Here!!!

Welcome to our blog! Although we've been set up since Thanksgiving...I decided today was the day to get this project underway. With a lot of help from Jami, who thankfully is only a phone call away, I did it! (I also took a lot of notes so hopefully next time I'll be able to do this without having to be walked through it.)

I hope you'll enjoy reading about all our activities and "going on's" around the Harvey household. We're not the most exciting family, but we have our moments!

I plan on spending some time with this and learning how to download my pictures so you can watch how Cody is growing up and changing. Thanks to Joey and Jami you guys already know about the wonderful past few weekends we've had here in Olney. We are so proud of Cody and the decision he made to become a Christian. He has been asked to serve on the Lord's table the last two Sundays, so he's had quite the glow about him. Luckily last week he had a "guide" to help him across the isle, but today he did it without watching anyone. He's just growing up so fast! Kinda puts a little tear in my eye when I think about his accomplishments lately. But I'm thankful for having such a wonderfully loving family whom he can look up to in so many ways. And we have as many wonderful friends as well. Thanks to everyone for sharing in our joy! Jami's right though... why hope when what we need to be doing is praying.
