It has been a while. I just spend most of my time on facebook now. This summer has been great, but fast. Josiah and I have been taking bike rides together and I am still trying to get Caleb to try to ride without training wheels (I'm sure he could, but has no desire). We stayed fairly local this summer with a trip to MN in Aug and a cabin weekend on the Mississippi early September.

The big news this past week is I am selling off my pez collection. I just was not very active buying recently and decided to sell it off and will most likely start buying again down the road. I think I will still keep involved with some aspects of the collecting world. The great news about it is we are going to use some of the money for a Disney trip next year. I'm not sure if I enjoy Disney trips or Pez more. I think Disney because the kids (and us) absolutly love it. Just the planning of such a trip is enjoyable for us.

Anyway. I guess that is all for now.

I started a pez sales website for the sale of my collection and other pez I pick up to sell for people. You can check out www.vintagepezstore.com (also help me get some trafic to the site).

Jake

The planning is enjoyable? You are a sick man, my friend. ;)

Jaime and I just went to Chicago for the weekend and had a great time. While there we were able to spend part of a day with some old FC friends (Rex and Sarah Guyer). They were in Chicago visiting the same weekend. It is great catching up with those in our past. Then in 2.5 weeks Josiah and I are off to MN for a long weekend full of Pez. I will have a van full of pez to sell and hope to pick up a few rarer items to bring home with me.

I don't know what it is, but when I am away from the internet for a few days I fell way out of touch. It seems I have been out of the loop not being on line for 3 days.

Jake

Sounds fun. We're planning a trip to MN this fal. I can't wait

Hope you sell lots of pez

Updates??????

at 06/24/09 3:20PM

Well I have lacked the ambition to update for quite a while. I do most of that stuff on facebook now. I still check in, just not too active. All is going well, picked up a huge pez colleciton to sell, boys are moving up rank in taekwondo, Caitlyn turned 2 (that was fast), summer is great, coaching T-ball again, Josiah will be starting hockey before I know it, Jaime and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary in May. I'm sure there is more but that should be enough for the next few months. Hope all is found well with all of you.

Jake

Happy 10th Anniversary. Adam and Holley celebrated their 10th too in March. Terra had her 7th a couple weeks ago and Frederic and I celebrate our 7th in October. Funny how it all worked out that way!

by crazy_mama at 06/24/09 3:23PM
Grace is taking taekwondo now. She just started at the beginning of June, and she's really liking it. Sounds like you guys are staying busy. It's very easy to do with 3 little ones.

by carawatsonfranklin at 06/24/09 3:40PM
Yes. I am... pro-marriage and thus interested in why marriage matters. You should know that! Anyway...

by bravedave at 07/07/09 10:27AM

It has been awhile, do you need pews?

at 03/15/09 9:33PM

This last weekend was great. I flew out to St. Louis for a FC suite IX reunion. As you can figure, we all had a great time catching up and reminiscing about days of old.

Anyway...

The church I attend has many pews in "storage" (in the basement not being used). If anyone attends a or knows of any congregation that needs some pews let me know. There are 6 available and the are each 8' long. I can supply pictures to anyone who might need these.

Jake

Anyways...

by bravedave at 03/15/09 9:35PM
Hmmmm... we are building a building here in Chillicothe (we currently meet in a community center). I'll mention it to the men and see if they are interested.

by hoose at 03/15/09 9:46PM
So now your selling our pews, what next?

by sar at 03/15/09 10:28PM
Not selling, giving them away. Don't you and Dale talk?

by jdieman at 03/16/09 4:06PM
It was fun for me to get to see you all for just a little bit. Hope to see all your family one day and meet your wife! I am still finding notes all over my house.

by neenout at 03/17/09 10:22PM
No, but we'd like one for our house, please. We DO meet in houses...does that count!? ;) Are you two going to try to have a third or are you afraid of having a third boy? Your boys are SO cute, though. If it is a boy, I can trade my girl for yours.

by tortilla at 03/20/09 6:19AM
FYI--I didn't hear any word from the guys at the church about being interested in the pews. I'm assuming that means they are not interested.

by hoose at 04/02/09 3:51PM
As of right now, we'll be in Europe for 3 1/2 weeks. We're starting out in Greece (Istanbul, Samos and Athens) on to Ephasus, back to Athens (about 4 days all together there), then onto Rome. After 3 or so days in Rome (Venice and Pompeii), we'll go to Interlaken, Switzerland for 2 days or so, then on to Paris for 3 or 4 days. Then London for 4 days or so (and a friend of ours has some friend we may stay with for a day or so and they'll show us around the countryside), then on to Ireland, then back home. We've been planning this trip for over a year - and are super excited!

by littledieman at 04/02/09 6:25PM
Thanks!

by vav at 05/09/09 1:58PM
I've been meaning to tell you and Jamie that we have our gospel meeting going on this week, if you are able to make it. Its a friend of ours and the topics are on Evidences.

by racheldean at 05/18/09 10:00AM
No luck on that. It's a Ford Freestar and our warranty was only 36,000 and we are past that. Frederic did some research last night and found that with our year, make and model this is a problem and so he is going to contact Ford and see if they will replace it for us since we are still under the lemon law (I have no idea what that law is but there were tons of other Freestar owners that said they had luck with that and getting Ford to fix it.) I guess that's what we get for buying a Ford!

by crazy_mama at 05/28/09 2:16PM
Today we found out that this is happening so much there is a class action beginning. I don't know if we are going to join on that band wagon or just try to get it fixed with a local dealership. Frederic is still working on that one. We are praying about it and we're confident something will happen good for us in this.

by crazy_mama at 05/28/09 6:14PM
i was hoping you would meet him, but i wasn't sure which congregation you attend up there.

by kon_tiki at 06/08/09 12:26PM

It's cold. Very, very cold.

at 01/14/09 3:09PM

If you would like more of an update just ask. I will consider this an open forum for any reasonable questions about what has been going on. If not, that is fine. Consider this my updated post. Thanks, and keep warm.

Jake

I would like your current temp and wind chill to be displayed to help me feel warmer.

by callmehands at 01/14/09 3:21PM
So how cold IS it in Milwaukee? And I mean ON the lake. Have you gone out there to find out? :) You guys make the weather in northern Ohio seem downright balmy. They do not get this weather often here at all. It's kind of funny, since it's more common in northern IL/WI.

by curlie at 01/14/09 3:40PM
It's 60 or better here in Georgia today. :)

But, I really do miss having snow. Deep snow. :( I'd take the frigid temps if I could have the snow.

by dbsmelser at 01/14/09 4:42PM
Wind chill is in the neg. teens and -35 for tomorrow afternoon.

by jdieman at 01/14/09 10:34PM
That was not a typo above. -35 is the forcasted wind chill. That is stupid cold.

by jdieman at 01/14/09 10:36PM
Could you please send some snow down this way.

by tamerten98 at 01/15/09 8:17AM
Is this where I teel you what the temp is in FL? ;-0

by zanne at 01/15/09 10:12PM
Thanks, I feel warmer already.

by godswarrior32803 at 01/16/09 10:53AM
Who are you behind for Super Bowl this year? What do you think about Rodgers?

by ncsuz409 at 01/17/09 7:38AM
Not behind anyone but think the Steelers will win, and still plan on having a great SB party. Mr. Rodgers was a great childrent TV show, I miss him dearly.

by jdieman at 01/19/09 8:11AM
It's in the 60's today, in the mid 70's tommorow. Hmmm...do we even get winter here??

by sponjen at 01/20/09 2:12PM
How many layers of clothing are you required to where when inside the house in -35 degree weather? Out in the open tundra? In your automobile? Have you ever driven you motorcycle in -35 degrees? How many layers? Thanks.

by dwboyd at 02/03/09 8:20PM
At least 2. We are fairly tough.

by jdieman at 02/03/09 10:14PM
I voted sane...for Steelers. Funny you (Mr. Rodgers)

by ncsuz409 at 02/15/09 5:11PM
I just found this fabric while surfing and thought of you:

You need something made from this!

by tami at 02/16/09 4:26PM
