Tuesday Travels

By -
 Lately when we ask her to smile or when she sees the camera,
we get this face. We see it a lot these days.
So my new thing is to just not care. 
Because I don't think she has to smile.... 
I just think she looks nicer when she does smile :)  
On this afternoon I said "your face looks much better when you DO smile." 
And I got the following pictures.... 

 better, right?





 we've never been to this park and its only 10 minutes from our house! We met some friends from church there on Tuesday afternoon and had a great time.

     our buddy Gideon.

     Ethan has loved Gideon since the day he was born. He tells me he'd like a baby brother like him     someday and gets a big kick out of teaching him big boy things.









After the park we went to our Farmer's Market. 
It was a super hot day, but we made do by drinking lots of water and eating
fresh made carmel corn. Don't ask how, but it seems to make the heat less worse 
when you have carmel corn :)


 it was very hot... but we had fun and made do.

afterward we went to our most favorite cupcake place and relaxed in the
shade with a sugary snack :)

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.
