A glimpse from our week...

By -
We've had quite the eventful week, consisting of a trip to Chuck-E-Cheese, Rachel's trip to Marine World, her party on Sunday, the Antioch Water Park on Monday, Ethan dealing with the flu on Tuesday and then lunch and Cold Stone on Wednesday.
Last night the kids and I went with Jason to Sacramento (he went for work) and I took the kids to IKEA. They had a blast playing in the children's toy section and we bought Rachel all sorts of dishes and such for her kitchen.
Here are some pictures from our week... with more to come. :)

Thanks, Heady. :) You're sweet.

I felt so terrible when I saw you at Target! I got home and told Jason "Heather must have thought I was such a haggard witch that day." I was so tired and out-of-it. And, there I am, standing in the car seat aisle, just watching my kiddos be goofy and this wacko lady comes running down my aisle with her cart aiming right at me! Haha! Do you love my dramatics? You seriously had me for a few seconds... it took me like 5-10 seconds to register that it was you and that you were being funny. :)

Ahhhh, what will my excuse for "lame brain" be once this pregnancy is over?

Haha! Yeah... I love air hockey. That was a game Jason and I used to play all the time when we were young kids.

Ethan takes after Jason too - he's very good at it. :)

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.  ...
