A Night on the Town

A group of 23 of us took in some of the sites of Las Vegas. The group included Jason's Family, Liz's family, Celise's family, and Reva's family (and a couple of friends). Using Reva's employee discounts we went on the New York New York rollar coaster and visited the Shark Reef at the Mandalay Bay. We also saw the new and improved volcano at the Mirage and a short show of the Bellagio Fountains (while sitting at a stop light).

All the pictures inside the Shark Reef turned out bad because of the bad lighting, but here is the "after picture"

Mario Kart on the Wii was a huge hit (I really wish I had gotten a picture of the huge crowd of kids piled in the living room for it).

Jason hasn't celebrated Sheila's birthday with her since they were kids (and Lori never has), so they decided this was close enough (her birthday is Jan 22) and had an impromptu birthday party for her. By the way, it was 10:30 at night and she had to get out of bed for it. :)

American Idol Here We Come!

Jason and Lori took advantage of the Las Vegas local discount on Phantom of the Opera tickets for their family. Here is the vocal reinactment of one song from that great musical. Now I must warn you, you will not be able to tell who does it better - the so called "Professionals" or the "Amazing Traveling Ramsays"! And the video just get's better and better so be sure to watch till the end.

Jason Ramsay Family

Jason and Lori are in Las Vegas with their family so I had to make sure we got some of their pictures posted to this website. I made sure to get on their case about posting messages themselves, so now the pressure is on. :) (P.S. You all better post too, or I'll be nagging you next!)

Here are some really cute Senior Pictures of Shari. She graduated early (Dec 19th) but will still walk with her class. She is now job hunting and is applying for college at both BYU Idaho and Provo. We expect her to post on this site as soon as she gets her acceptance letter in about 3-4 weeks.

I had to post this AMAZING picture Josh took of the Rexburg Temple. He took this with his camera phone too! WOW!














Lori wants to make sure everyone has Nathan's address (and writes to him too!). He'll be home in July, so she says not to put it off (hint hint).

Jason and Lori send their love to everyone and an open invitation to visit before their house sells and they move.

Merry Christmas

We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas! We wish we lived closer so we could see everyone for the Holidays!

New Additions to the Ramsay Family

So I've spent the last couple of hours browsing through all the family blogs and having a great time catching up with all of you. While doing so I discovered a lot of new babies that I didn't even know had been born yet! Yikes, what planet have I been on? So, I hope you parents don't mind, but I stole pictures off your individual blogs to put them here. :)

Here are the adorable new additions:

Nicole (Chad and Kelly) December 17th















Lyla (Jared and Melissa) November 18

Toren (Brady and Patrice) Nov 4th



















Lucy (Jo and Alena) born Oct 29th













I don't have a picture, but we can't forget our number 100 Ramsay - Kate (Jeremy and Marni) born December 8th.

Also, Shae (Mark and Andrea) was born in August.

These are all the babies (that I know of) born since our last July 24th gathering. Congrats everyone!

Snow in Las Vegas!

Wow, it's been a crazy day. I know this won't mean a lot to you Utah and Colorado people, but we now know what snow looks like! We've gotten as much as 8 inches in some parts of town and the kids are having a ball. The craziest part is that the schools are closed for tomorrow now too! How funny is that - schools in Las Vegas get a snow day! Snow is so foreign here that we don't have snow plows so the roads are a mess. I'm sure glad I can just stay home. Reva took some pictures, so I'll post them when I can get them from her.
