moments I'll never forget

By -
I was finishing off some Bible study homework in my room tonight and overheard the kids in the hallway. They had gotten the big dress-up bin out and were talking about what they should play. Ethan had the grand idea of playing Beauty and the Beast (which is a new all time favorite movie, thanks to the Bartoks for loaning it to us) and Rachel thought the idea was fabulous... to say the least. I want to say she leaped for joy and hugged him, screaming with delight the whole time.
So out came the "cape" which ended up being Ethan's Superman robe and then out came the ballerina dress Rachel got for her birthday. I grabbed the camera and hid in the door way, hoping to find some cute moments... and did. :) After I got a few without them knowing (the dancing pictures) I had some fun catching more cute shots.
I love the ages they're at; lots of fun brother, sister bonding time. They love to pretend all types of things and play for hours upon end. It brings back so many memories of my childhood. Especially when we play store... used to be one of my favorites!


Rachel is cracking up here - I wish you could hear her giggling

this was a random moment I thought was SO funny!

Poor Ethan... he tried so hard to dance properly

I know... that 2nd picture gets me every time. They'll kill me for it someday, but for now... couldn't resist. :)

Is that the dress up outfit we gave her for her birthday? She looks like a princess for sure! Love the pic of them in their undies. Kyle has the same robe as Ethan...from Nana?

Yeah, it must be from you guys. She only got one dress-up and I wasn't sure who gave it to her. My short term pregnancy brain. :)
I think it came with butterfly wings, but she's so funny and does not like to wear the wings with it. So particular.

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.  ...
