Resurrection Sunday

By -
We had a fabulous Easter! Thankfully everyone was healthy enough for us to really enjoy the day, however, Kara came down with pink eye late last night. It looked okay this morning, but as the day wore on, its gotten really bad. I'm going to pick her eye medicine tomorrow and hopefully that will get rid of it quickly.

We went to church this morning for breakfast and then got to hear the kid's choir sing for us -- so cute! I love seeing all the kids in their Easter best and hearing them belt out praises to God is so awesome.
After church we went to my parents house, along with my older sister and her family. I am SO thankful to my parents for the generosity they give to us all each holiday; for the love they have for their kids and Grand kids and the memories they're helping us make. Its always so fun going to Papa and Nana's house and being together as a family, celebrating Christ! The kids had a blast this year. We have a Resurrection Day egg set (for hunting) and the kids loved it. As you find the eggs you open them up and there's a trinket inside that goes with the story of Jesus' birth, death, resurrection and ascension. The kids enjoyed it last year, but this year it was like it really clicked. Rachel keeps telling me about the "cwown of thones that was on Jesus's head" and how "He's in Heaven now, wif God!" So cute.

Anyway, hope you all had a very blessed day. Once again, I have a lot of pictures to post and I promise to do so asap. :-)

correction here: apparently the resurrection eggs do not tell about Jesus' birth. My kids misunderstood the blanket that they wrapped Jesus' body in (for the grave) as the cloth he was wrapped in, in the manger :)
My mistake.

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.  ...
