in his honor...

My husband turns 28 today. Its probably not as amazing to most of you as it is to me. When I met him, he was about to turn 13 and so for me, 28 seems SO old! I can't believe we're both getting so close to our 30's (me sooner than him, of course).

I just want to wish my love a happy birthday. I love you so much, Jase. Thank you for being the man of our house, the guider, leader, protector, provider, play mate & friend to our kids, my best friend and right hand man. We could not live with out you and thank God for you every day!

I'm excited to celebrate this birthday. Mainly because its his first birthday where its just us, with no family... so I've done my best to really play up the day and fill it with lots of fun. The kids and I have planned a fun treasure hunt - at the end of the hunt we have a big surprise waiting for him.
But also because I love any reason to "celebrate" him and to teach our kids how to express on days like this, how much we love Daddy. We always tell him "thank you for going to work for us every day" and they thank him after he takes us out to eat, or out for a fun outing... buts not every day we celebrate Daddy. So I love days like Father's day and his birthday. Maybe we should have a day dedicated to them once a month!
Today's birthday menu is french toast, eggs and bacon for breakfast- followed by a treasure hunt with gifts (the kids made the clues and they are so funny!) tortilla soup for lunch, followed by a chocolate fudge pie by for dessert (our Daddy is not a fan of cake, so we made pie).
Since his work schedule is 3-11pm, we're going to party hard until 2:30 :)

I think he is an incredibly godly, mature, amazing man for his young age of 28. I'm very blessed to be his wife.

Happy 28th, my Love.

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 sure to l

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.
