the wedding

By -
Our very good friend (he's more like a brother to us) got married on June 5th. His wedding is really the main reason why we went to California - and we just turned it into a 2 week trip for our family!
The wedding was beautiful and nothing beats seeing a good friend get hitched :)


Mr. & Mrs. Peter Klingsheim! 

 my parent's table... 

more of our friends...

and more! 



Jason & Casey 

the bridal party table

The new Mr & Mrs 

wedding fun was tiring for little Sonja :) 


beer through a straw... because we thought it was funny. 

Jayden Pishal - he was born just 2 months before we moved, so it was fun seeing how big he's gotten! 

Sonja was convinced my plan was to snatch her from Mommy and leave with her... so she kept a safe distance and gave me some very serious looks :-) 





Casey & peter {after their dance}

the guys danced w/each other, because that's how they roll.

taking off the garter had a very funny moment. Melissa's 2nd cousin came walking over to see what was going on...
and she asked....

"what are you doing?!"

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.
