TMI

Have you ever really looked into the life of an ant? It is pretty fascinating. Here is the link to find out everything you could have ever wanted to know about them. I was watering the lawn today and noticed that I had disrupted an ant home, so I got closer to check them out. There were ones with wings, ones carrying eggs, and regular ones just trying to get away from the water. Pretty disgusting. I had goosebumps then and when I was reading about them. Even though the Bible praises the hard work of the ant (Prov. 6:6), they still gross me out.

Bad Blogger

Yes, I know I am a BAD Blogger. But, hopefully these pictures will make up for the last month of not posting anything!
Here is our mini-Giants fan. She went to her first game last Thursday, one of the hottest days in the city ever! Bummer!

On Friday, we went to the Aerospace Museum at the old McClellan AFB. The boys were so excited to see real airplanes, it was pretty fun! Gianna had a nice time in her car seat.


Ezra's favorite part of the museum was the gift shop, where Grandma bought him an F/A 18.

This is Ezra's favorite outfit. He calls it his, "pilot's outfit." He always wears it to school, I get in trouble if I forget to have the shirt washed. Thankfully school is only 2 days a week.
We got home on Sunday and the Legge's stayed with us for a couple nights. We always love spending time with their family and wished they lived closer! Their kids are Autumn (5 yrs. old), Ben (3 1/2 yrs. old) and Peter (4 1/2 mos.).

I'll try to be better about posting, really...

Some newer pictures...

Secret

Well, to go along with the last post, I have to admit that I've been catching a minute or two of the show, "The Real Housewives of NYC" on Bravo. They are obnoxious, outrageous, annoying, but it is pretty funny sometimes. I haven't watched a full episode, but with the way this station plays re-runs, I'm sure I'll know who's who soon enough. Oh Bravo, why are you doing this to me!

Reunited

The Today Show was on the tv this morning as I was eating breakfast. I could hear lots of cheering and screaming and was curious to know who was on the show. When I came around and saw the faces, I instantly recognized them, the New Kids on the Block. I was mildly obsessed with them, as (most) any pre-teen girl was in the early 90's. They were my 2nd concert to attend (my first concert was a Club Mtv tour with Paula Abdul, Ton Loc, Information Society, and yes, I saw in concert, Milli Vanilli!!!). While they are no longer kids, in their mid-late 30's in fact, they still look pretty good. And, I guess they are coming out with a new album. Funny!

P.S. Could that picture be any smaller???

How To

Make your own compost bin! I came across this idea a while ago and wanted to share it. This link isn't the exact same one that I originally saw, but it is pretty close. These instructions use a metal garbage can, but a plastic one was used in the first video I saw. Just poke holes in the bin using a screwdriver and hammer, fill it with the right balance of materials (see article) and then roll it around the yard every so often to mix everything up inside, and there you go! Pretty easy! I'll keep you posted when I actually get this idea going, and if I decide to put worms inside.

Bitaminins

The boys LOVE their gummi vitamins and I occasionally take the time to take a leftover prenatal vitamin. I have noticed that my teeth and fingernails take a beating during pregnancy and even now post-partum. So, as a result of coupon/get-a-good-deal love, I've entered a contest at this website, Simple, to try to win some new vitamins by Beeyoutiful. (I don't know how to add the logo for this company, but I'll try to figure it out). I'm curious to see the difference between a good vitamin and a generic. Normally I'm pretty skeptical about vitamins and herbs and such, but I did recently try some herbs to help with my varicose veins, so we'll see about this new one. I'll keep you posted!
