Took this back in early July & just now learned how to upload video on here :) 
If your speakers are playing my music AND the video sound at the same time, go to the bottom of my page and hit "pause" so the music will stop while you play the video.  

I was in the house doing dishes after dinner one night and looked out the window and saw Kara riding a big girl bike! I didn't know she could do this, so it thrilled me. About 2 months ago she wanted to ride this bike - it used to be Rachel's, but now that Rache is too tall, we're passing it onto Kara. She had so much difficulty riding it a couple months ago; kept peddling backward and suddenly stopped and then falling, etc... 
So it completely surprised me to see her just doing it flawlessly by herself! 
Typical Kara... she tends to learn things at her pace and on her own. 

Two things I loved about this video: 
1.) Ethan is on the small trike and Kara is on the big bike 
2.) the waving while riding ;-)

Cute :) Kerrigan just did the same thing, all on her own, about the same time :)

Way to go Kara! Love all the waves and smiles and that Kara can't take her hands off for very long. Too cute.

Wow!! What a big girl. I am glad you got that on video. Yay! I just started trying to teach Mo to ride a bike last night. She can't do it at all, but she loved it. :)

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 ...

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.  ...
