fun with friends

By -

This morning the kids and I joined some of our Brentwood friends for a Bowling play date and we had a blast! Ethan already had his 4th birthday all planned out. :)
I've never seen kids that young bowl before and it was too cute for words. I loved the little ramp they give the kids to send their ball down, with bumpers and all. It was cute seeing how excited some of them got over knocking down one pin. Ethan got a strike on one of his last turns, without hitting the bumpers! I was so proud of him. He clapped and then came over to me and said "Its because I play bowling on the wii so much." :) Much to my dissapointment I forgot the camera.

Today we're enjoying the beautiful weather here in Oakley. It is 76 degrees outside and just gorgeous. Rachel received several outside toys for her birthday, so we've been trying them out. I think the biggest hit has been the bubble blowing lawn mower from Great Gramma Nina. Tomorrow we get to hear the baby's heart beat again and they're both very much looking forward to that. Ethan keeps asking when he should pack his bags for the baby's birth. He's a little more anxious than the rest of us. :)
I'm down to the last 10 weeks and can't believe that countdown is already here... though I do remember how slow the last 10 weeks went with our first two. We'll see if this one drags on or slips by.

Hope you all have a beautiful Tuesday!

One Thousandth blog post + GIVEAWAY!!

By -
This marks the  one thousandth blog post   for me !  If you added the blogging over at Jastef.net, I'm sure it would be far more, but I haven't blogged over there since Kara was a baby. For my simple mind, Blogger worked out much better for me. Sorry, husband.  I've been at this blogging thing for almost 8 years and I'm still not sick of it! I like to write {never thought I'd say that} and I really enjoy interacting with people; friends and then strangers who become friends.  Its great and its been a great way for us to share our day-to-day life with our families, since we moved.  Jason and I have been mulling around what I should do for a 1,000 blog post giveaway, just for fun. Not because I think my 1,000 post is as special to all of you as it is to me. We tossed around the idea of a Kindle, since Amazon dropped the price, but it was still... too much for me. We settled on a fun idea. You get to pick the final result, so read on and then be ...

keeping the sickies away

Probably like most of you Moms, I've been sick of being sick throughout the winter. Its such a fun, holiday time of year and totally stinks when you're stuck inside, with illnesses. And, if you're not a fan of getting a vaccine for every little bug that goes around, you end up realizing you have to do your research to learn how to build up the immune systems and keep your brood healthy. I'm also learning that when it comes to sickness {we're talking sickness that won't cause death}, its actually good for our bodies to learn to fight things off naturally and not constantly running to get shots or drugs to cure us from ever getting sick again {which those shots don't do anyway}.  I'm no pro and my oldest child isn't even 7 yet, so I'm definitely not posting this to teach you ladies anything. And, for those of you with older kids, feel free to leave tips for how you keep your family healthy or natural ways to fight off colds and viruses.  ...
