The Run Down... for no reason

By -
I'm in the process of building this site, so bear with me. :)

Hope you've all had an eventful week. Ours was a blast and... Jason still gets to be home until Wednesday, so the fun continues on! We went out to Sacramento (only an hour away!) on Friday and had dinner and did some shopping with our friends Abe and Jess Green and their little boy Chase. After spending some time with them we headed over to IKEA (our favorite place to shop!) and spent an hour there until closing. I could spend all day in that store.
We're going to be buying new bedroom furniture for our kids, so we're making the rounds and seeing where we want to buy it from. Looks like we're going with IKEA for most of it.

We met my parents and my niece and nephew for breakfast on Saturday morning. The kids enjoyed spending more time with their cousins Madison and Kyle. They live in LA and so we don't get to see them very often. Our friends from church invited us over to their house for the afternoon, so after breakfast we headed there. We had a blast playing all sorts of Wii games and the kids enjoyed playing together.
We've been having so much fun with our Wii. This thing is an absolute blast! Saturday night my sister Emily came over with her friend from Livermore and we played lots of bowling and boxing together.
Today we went to church and then our friend Joey turned 20, so we went to his house for a birthday celebration. Lots of fun and the kids always love being with the Pisahl gang.

Tomorrow our friends Abe, Jess and Chase (listed above) are coming over to ring in the New Year with us and then Cody Pisahl and his fiance Chanel are coming over New Year's Day to play some Wii and party with us all.
Wednesday will be back to Bible Studies, piano lessons and life in general.

Happy New Year to you all!

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.  ...
