Easter '11

By -
Our day was wonderful. 
Our time of Worship was awesome. 
The time spent with our friends, amazingly fun. 
We got home late tonight worn out in a good way, thankful for a great weekend!
our church campus(es) met at Qwest Field in Seattle this morning. 
There was a total of around 17,500 people and my favorite part, aside from the sermon, 
was singing "Come Thou Fount, Nothing But the Blood and All My Tears with 
that many voices singing praises to God. It was a beautiful sight and sound. 

Ethan was excited that they were handing out free Bibles at the door. 
He said its his first "big boy" Bible he's ever had :) 

I love how her nose turned red from the cold :) 
We brought a jacket for her, but she insisted she was warm. 

hunting eggs... 

 we hid a bunch of easy ones for Kara and she ended up finding all the hard ones :) 



Ferguson & Arnold kids: 
Rachel, Kara, Cambria, Ethan, Payton, Ian and Owen

egg hunt? who cares. just keep me fed :) 

when people tell me I don't act my age... it doesn't usually surprise me. 
I can't actually remember what was so funny to me here....

and when eggs were hunted and too much candy was eaten... 
second dinner was had 
 a movie was watched
the wii was played 
toys were enjoyed 
adults got to chat & play some games 
dessert was eaten {yum}
and we stayed much later than we said we were going to. 
I like when that happens - it means a lot of fun is happening. 

Mexican Train! 


no, he's not posing. 
I like to snap when no one knows it :)


Rachel took this of me {with my cell} and asked me,
"please put it on your book on the computer" =  my website 

 I tried to sneak him home... but his Mama noticed :)

One Thousandth blog post + GIVEAWAY!!

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.
