A typical day in the life of me...

Every day, many times each day, my son gets his little counting colors music train out and hooks it up. Here is how the full volume song goes (minus the catchy little music):

The music train is on the track
Singing a song
Clickety clack
The music train is ready to go
Get on board hear the whistle blow
Red car with one teddy bear
1! We're having fun! (grrrrr)
Orange car with 2 shiny bells
1 2! They ring for you! (ding ding)
Yellow car with 3 fuzzy ducks
1 2 3! Quack for me (quack, quack, quack)
Green Car with 4 little drums
1 2 3 4! Play some more (drum sound)
Blue Car with 5 square blocks
1 2 3 4 5! At the station willow ride
The music train is ready to go
Get on board hear the whistle blow!

I go around singing this song when I am in the shower, driving in the car, while cooking in the kitchen. I can not stop singing it! I am guessing some of you out there have a similar toy story. I'd like to hear about it...

Superbaby

Should you find yourself in dangers way, call superbaby to save the day. I realize he only has his little scooter to rescue you, but never underestimate the speed of him on his machine! He can pull books off shelves in a flash and stir toilet water in the blink of an eye!

He's Back...

After many many months (okay, so it was over a year) of writer's block, my husband has decided to resurrect his original blog! If you would like to check it out: http://jjeb.blogspot.com/ He has been writing some interesting spiritual thoughts. I also want to say that I would have loved to insert a little link there, but I don't know how to do that...so if you want to tell me how, I thank you. -Priscilla

I sold it on ebay!

So one of Jeb and my favorite hobbies is to sell things on Ebay and Craigslist. We go to garage sales and scout things out to buy that we can turn around and sell for a little extra cash. We have also sold so many random little do-dads that have just sat in boxes in our closet for years. It amazes me sometimes that people actually want this stuff...but I am also very pleased and it tickles my funny bone when we do sell some useless piece of junk. It also makes me feel good to get rid of all of the material items that seem to clutter our house and our life.

We made 5x what we paid for this lovely poster of a man called horse...it's crazy that people actually want this!

However, in the midst of this fun little hobby, people have grow to think that we are so money-hungry that we will sell anything ever given to us just for some quick cash. That just is not true. We keep things that mean a lot to us or things that are valuable or that are important to the family or that were given to us by special people. We only sell useless, unwanted items. Trust me...and you should try it to, because it is fun to make a small profit off of the stuff that you would otherwise be donating to Goodwill!

We doubled our money on this italian tea cart repro!

Family Ties

So there has been some big family news. This has been all excitement for Jeb and I! Rachel and Stephen are now engaged! He surprised her at her birthday party and popped the question in front of all of us! They are planning a wedding for some time in July!
My brother Jason and his wife Jen are pregnant and Liam will have another cousin to play with sometime in March! This isn't the greatest pic of them, but it was the most recent, from just a few weeks ago at the Mariners-A's game...the Mariner's were down 3-9, but came back in the 7th inning (after we left to go home) to win 10-9. I can not believe that we left early at probably one of the Mariner's best comebacks in the past few years! Oh well....
