Pampered Chef Parties!

I am coming up to WJ next week, and wanted to plan another Pampered Chef Party. It is a lot of fun!! And there are great specials this month, and hosts receive so much FREE PRODUCT!! Let me know if you are interested!

Thank you! WE WON!!!!

Yes, you heard right! McKinlee is the winner of a Backyard Adventure playground.....thanks to all of you who voted! It was a complete surprise! But obviously we couldn't have done it without all of you! So thanks again! Friday morning we knew that 97.1 ZHT was going to announce the winner, so Jordan and I set the alarm for 6:45, so we could listen to the "morning zoo." About 1/2 hour later, they announced that at 7:35, they were going to announce the winner of the Backyard Adventure playground. SO 7:34 came along, and they went to commercial break. Our thought was that they would call the winners right then, put them on hold, and then come back with the winners on the line. Well lets just say that was the longest commercial break ever. Seriously it lasted about 5 minutes! So, Jordan and I knew that we didn't win! McKinlee was sitting next to me in bed, and I calmly told her that she didn't win. I seriously wanted to cry! BUT they came back on air, and announced they were going to call the winner, and dialed a number. Suddenly my phone rang! I knew it was them, especially since it was an 801 number I didn't recognize! Well, the rest is history! And to top it off, thanks to my mom and Jena, we have the recording of the LIVE BROADCAST! Remember that I was completely taken off guard, so if I sound a little goofy, you'll understand why! So know we get to pick out the playground to fit our backyard! Thanks again to everyone that voted, and told others to vote!

So I have tried and tried, and I have no idea how to put an MP3 on my blog....any suggestions? Until I figure it out, no recording!

And the winner is....

Ok, so the voting hasn't ended, but I just thought I would remind all of you who haven't voted to PLEASE VOTE!! We still have until next Thursday, April 2 until the voting ends.

Vote For McKinlee

The reason I posted those videos in the previous post, was to determine which video to use to enter McKinlee into a "Kiddieokee" contest to win a Backyard Adventures Playground! I know I did the "Mommy Olympics" last year, but I am bound and determined to have McKinlee win that Playground! So this contest is through the same radio station 97.1 ZHT and is completely based on voting, and the contestant with the most votes will win the playground! So I need your help! Her entry is #66, and she is singing "Keep Bleeding." So here's how it works:

-Follow this link http://www.971zht.com/pages/kiddieokee/
-Follow the instructions given and vote for entry #66
-It may take a few minutes to receive the email to validate your vote, but be sure to check your email to validate it, or your vote will not count!
-Only one vote per computer will be accepted, but you can tell everyone you know to vote!! And if you have more than one computer, vote on all your computers!
-Voting ends April 2nd at noon, so please vote, and have everyone you know vote!!

Thanks for your help! And if we win, you are all more than welcome to come to our house and play on the new playground! Happy Voting! And thanks again!

Decisions

16 months and....

Hunter at 16 months.......

And still not walking. The only time he would walk is when he'd play basketball with Daddy (and Daddy sure loved that!) But.....

Hunter at 16 1/2 months and......

FINALLY WALKING! I've learned that both of my kids have their very own personality, and are bound and determined to do things on their own time, and when they want. But I love 'em! Hunter has the sweetest personality and loves to snuggle, and is very tender hearted. He loves his moose (thanks Kelly), and his blanket. I am so proud that he is FINALLY walking! Now I feel better about him playing outside, and not ruining his pants while crawling, and getting SO dirty! Way to go buddy!

Football Already Over??

Those of you who know my sweet husband, know that he LOVES football, and he LOVES the Chicago Bears. Well despite his cheering and support, they didn't do too well this season. But we sure had some fun times as a family watching our beloved Bears. Both McKinlee and Hunter have learned to love the Bears, infact McKinlee was walking around the house saying, "Da Bears." (No she hasn't watched the Saturday Night Live version of that!) We had a great time with our friends the Miller's who are HUGE Packer's fans, and watched the Bears and the Packers play, luckily the Bears were able to pull off a "W." McKinlee and Cooper are so cute together, maybe their future wedding photo?

Hunter loved the Miller's dog, we really need to get him a doggy! But its a good thing that football season doesn't last all year long, I'm sure Jordan would disagree! But maybe next year Chicago??
