Really the title says it all. I'm getting addicted to Ancestry.com. I'm up right now after midnight because I couldn't stop finding family "hints". I've gone all the way back to the 1600's on my Grandfather's side. So far I have ancestors with immigration records from Belgium and England. A co-worker got me started on this and it's really hard to stop. Especially when you find other people with family trees that match branches on yours. This started as a project for a Christmas present for the family, but it's getting crazy how much public record there is out there that I never knew about. I love seeing the census records from the 1800 and 1900's they tell so much. I found out that on my sister's dad's history that they owned "Negro" servants because the census has their names, ages, race and occupations/relationship in the home. Cool, huh? I found an image of my Great-Great-Grandfather's World War I Draft Card. I seriously recommend for everyone to do this for their family trees but watch out...It's addicting!!!! See below for people I could be related to....

Corn Maize
 |
We woke up Sunday with a strange amount of energy so we decided to find a corn maze near us. The biggest one close to us was all the way in Mission Hills about an hour and a half away. So we called up Jimmy's cousin Jeaninne and her husband Caleb for some corn fun! Check out our pictures in the photo album. There were signs at the maze that said don't throw the corn, but they never did tell us not to eat it! I don't think we even made it through half the maze. We never did find the end of the maze but we re-found the beginning after an hour! Oh, well! Maybe next time.
