our trip to SF

By -
Today we ventured over to San Fransisco to visit some friends! We were welcomed by nice cold, foggy and drizzly weather. Quite the change from the usual hot weather out here. The kids kept saying "Its too freezing cold here!" although I rather enjoyed the feeling of being cold. My pregnant body is always over heating, so the feeling of needing a jacket was... amazing. :)

We had lunch at our favorite stop, Underdog and then walked over to the park and then Stow Lake. This was Ethan's first visit to these two places and he absolutely had a blast! We saw lots of pigeons, ducks and turtles and walked our hearts out. The kids slept very well on the way home and are already talking about our next trip to Jenna's.

on our way to meet up with Laura and Jenna - we haven't used a stroller in SO long, I had to get a picture of it. :)

She's goofy... not much else to say.


Ethan loved this tree and asked me to take a picture of it for him.
**There are more pictures over at jastef.net - I usually only upload a few here. Also, Laura uploaded a lot of shots I didn't get, so you can look on her site as well!

Random question, what stroller do you have?

Its the Joovy Caboose. That's the smallest version the company sells and the next one up is the Big Caboose. It has two seats and then a standing area for the 3rd child. I love it! We bought ours from a 2nd hand store and don't have any complaints, other than it can be slightly hard to turn when both kids are in it... when I've needed to make sharp turns. Otherwise its great and the front seat holds all infant carriers.

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.  ...
