the long trip down

By -
Here we are, snoozing away on the way to California :) 
these were taken smack in the middle of the night. 

they slept quite well, with only a couple quick wakings. 

Just after waking up, Friday morning! 
We stopped off at Starbucks, got dressed and coffee'd up. 

watching The Incredibles :) 

I rarely ever even take pictures of Jason and me while traveling from WA-CA {because we tend to look less cute than the kids do while traveling} but decided I would post what WE look like after driving all night. Go easy on us :) 


It was a great trip. Went smoothly and made us realizing that traveling through the night works much better than all day long.

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.  ...

... is our 2nd born child, but 1st daughter. She's so often the sunlight in our home and the giver of frequent hugs. She believes a good hug and an "I love you" can  will fix just about anything.  People that hang out with us often tell us "Rachel plays so well all by herself!" or we often hear "Rachel is so easily entertained and very quiet!" Both statements are true... even though she is, without a doubt, our loudest speaking child {its the Italian in her, I guess}. She does play well by herself and she is  easily entertained. Rachel is coming on turning 4 1/2 and is very excited about it. She's convinced that eventually she will catch up in age with Ethan.  She turns 4 1/2 in January and will be all excited for one month, until Ethan turns 6. Then she realizes that he's somehow staying ahead of her.  Best words to describe our 1st daughter would be.....  sweet   polite caring affectionate   random chatty   happy deep & emotional...
