And we were just as scared of Chuck as Connor was on Saturday…what is it about that darn mouse?

 Oh gosh I loved the 80’s.  I’ve reconnected with so many military friends on Facebook and that has been so cool!IMG952399

 

Chuck E Cheese Fun!

We took Connor to Chuck E Cheese for the first time this past Saturday.  To say he had fun was an understatement.  The kid was in Heaven!  Bless his heart he couldn’t contain himself and he’s been talking about it ever since.  It was his reward for wearing big boy undies all week at school and not having accidents! Woohoo!

D7K_0253We went on Saturday night.  What were we thinking???  We should have brought the leash.  Those kiddos run around like chickens with their heads cut off!

Oh my goodness a TICKET!

We also tried out the new Chuck E Cheese App.   You just point your phone at the signs on the walls and tables and Chuck E. magically appears in the photos.  It’s so easy to share the photos that are taken – to Facebook, Twitter, and with Chuck E. Cheese’s

D7K_0261 D7K_0263 D7K_0268  I look like crap.  Our whole family has been battling sickness for what seems like forever!  We all have horrible sinus infections.  (Now, I’ll take this any day over that stomach bug we had a couple weeks ago).

Don’t you just love those kids who cheat and stand on the machines? NOT.  Get your kid off that thing. Seriously.

Cashing in those tickets for a swirly straw, plastic frog, and Sweet Tarts.

Totally worth it. 🙂

I’m still getting used to this whole WordPress stuff.  What do ya’ll think?

I really like it so far…….

Why I’m Switching to WordPress…

First let me just say this is quite a process and if it weren’t for Sarah I’d be lost!

 

She’s amazing!

 

Also, A Royal Daughter wrote some great articles on why she switched from Blogger to WordPress.

 

I think they are great, either way your blog will do just fine….it’s a personal decision.

 

You can read her articles HERE and HERE

 

 

Moving to WordPress..

So, I’m taking the plunge and moving this lil blog that I’ve had since 2006 over to WordPress.  I have been wanting to do this for awhile because I’ve heard from a lot of you that it’s a great thing to do and I’m looking forward to all the new things I can do with WordPress. 

 

Have you switched?

Are you thinking about it?

 

Thoughts?

 

 

Easter 2013 Recap

Yay!  We have a new decent family photo!
My brother in law took this Saturday night after the Easter egg hunt.  We went over to T’s parent’s house for  a pre-Easter dinner and egg hunt with all the cousins.  It’s so nice to get together with everyone, we are so blessed to have great families on BOTH sides of the coin.Read More

Easter Basket 2013

We had a great weekend with a family dinner & egg hunt, along with a beautiful church service today.  I’m missing my family back home today, especially on Easter where we would always go to the farm.  So thankful for Jesus sacrifice so that we can live…..I’m so not worthy of anything.  Thank you Lord for my beautiful family and friends and this life you have given,
  Hope you all had a great Easter too!!!!
Although we don’t really do the Easter bunny, we did do a basket for the lil guy and here are some pictures I took….I’ll post the rest of our Easter weekend later. *Cherishing this age and these moments*
