A New Television

It is so hard to keep up with the times. Did you ever notice that just when you can finally afford the newest electronics they are again coming out with a different model that is better or more functional than the last one. Well that is with anything I guess. You can finally afford it because of that very reason they have made a newer model and they have lowered the price on the old because of it. Well that is not always the case at buy.com. You can get a great deal on all electronics whether or not it is a new or old model. I was looking at an LCD TV for the upstairs not to long ago. Being a deal hunter I quickly realized that buy.com had by far the best deal around on older and brand new models of everything. It's actually great to get a good price and know that you can afford the newest electronics even though they are still the new models.

Enjoyed our Day

What a beautiful summer day it was today. I have to say that I really enjoyed the day today because it was nice and sunny and in the shade it was nice and cool. There was a very nice breeze all day long. We got up kind of early today but we did not attend church because we went to Saturday evening service instead. It was nice to spend the whole day outside and I have to say we all enjoyed the day together but differently. Ken started the day by mowing the grass and doing the weed whacking while I was busy doing a couple posts that were needing to get finished. Maddie and Ben pretty much played with all the little kids in the neighborhood all day long. They played in the boys down the streets sprinkler and they collected aunts and put them in a bug box of Bens. Then when they were finished with that they made some "aunt soup". Sounds pretty yummy huh? I have to say the kids really enjoyed the day today. Aidan pretty much enjoyed the day outside also but as you can see in the picture below that is pretty much what he did all day. By the time it was 6 o'clock we came in for dinner and a bath for the three of them. They were really dirty. And now Ken is reading books to Ben and Maddie and I am again finishing up posting. I just laid Aidan down for another nap. Ken and I have a movie planned for later tonight after we sit outside and watch the Steger fireworks that are going on tonight. We always put the kids to bed and watch them for our front porch. It is the best view without the crowd.

Starting a new Diet

This coming week I am hoping that Ken and I can start a new diet. I am pretty much healed form my surgery so I can be up an making healthy meals again for my family. It does not take very much to fall off track that's for sure. Especially when it is so easy to grab something from the fast food as a very quick meal to eat. I want to look into diet supplements not only to help us loose but to also keep us getting the right vitamins and minerals as we are cutting out calories. I have been really researching them online since 97% of them do not really work at all. Do you know of a good one to get me going? Drop me a little note and let me know.

Baptism underway

Well I have to say that I am very glad that Aidan's baptism is almost finalized. I wanted to get it done as soon as possible just because really there is no point in waiting. I have to call and finalize it with the church this coming Monday. Ken and I have already talked to the pastor about it and he is willing to do it anytime we want. I still have to go do some shopping for an outfit for him so that's why I am choosing to wait till July to have him baptised. I know it took a while for me to find Ben's outfit. Hopefully I will find one that is not to expensive right away that I like a lot. I thought of using Ben's but it will be way to big for him as Ben was not baptised till he was 6 months old. So far the plans are set for this coming July. Now I just need to get inviting people and get the cake all set up. It is still a really big job that's for sure.

Shoes for Gram

My grandma is always saying that she is in need of dress up shoes. I personally think that she is also. It seems like the shoes that she is still wearing are the ones that she wore when I was the age of my now kids. She never really takes the time to buy things for herself so that is why I have been looking online at the Dansko foot wear. I wanted to buy her a pair of very comfortable shoes for her up coming birthday and send them directly to her house. I know that she will love them and I really know that she needs them. I have heard many great things about this product line in terms of comfort so I know they will be perfect for her. I was considering getting her a pair of black flats so that they can do with just about anything. Have you checked out their site? If not then you really should see all they have to offer.

Cleaning the Yard

Well today we have not planned anything. I guess you can say that we are going to stay home for the most part of the day. We went to church on Saturday night so we did not have to go this morning. Ken has planned to mow the lawn and I still have to get caught up with my blogging. It seems like it is so easy to fall behind during the week when we have so much going on. I also wanted to get rid of my dead tulips in the front of the house as well. I know there will be plenty of time today. It is also a very nice day to be outside because of the breeze. I can no0t wait to get started on my projects. Ken is actually already mowing the grass outside with all three kids with him. It is nice to have a little free time to myself to get some posting done.

Dangerous

My dad has always had a motorcycle. As a matter of fact he had one before he could even be of legal driving age. When he was younger he was in a motor cycle accident because he was trying to impress my mom. I don't know how impresses she was being that he broke his leg all the way up and his knee has never been the same since. He did not hit anyone he was just doing some tricks and was not really that good at them. He never needed an Oakland motorcycle accident lawyer but since summer is hear and lots of people are now on their bikes someone might need them to take on their case. If you need a lawyer they might be perfect for you. Hopefully you will never need them but if you do they are here to help you.
