Random thoughts.. and a quick update

So, lets see where to start..
I FINALLY bought Broxton a highchair!
Of course, my luck would have it..
I bought it on Friday and then see in the Sunday Sales Paper that it is now on sale for $20.00 cheaper! I'm not going to lie... I sure enough went to customer service and asked for the difference! I told her that I had my receipt, but if that wouldn't work, I would go home and bring the highchair back! :) She said to give her the receipt and she would give me the difference!
Needless to say, that $20.00 went right back to Target.... ON DIAPERS!
I was pretty happy that I noticed the sale and made the difference count!

Anyways..
Over the weekend...
We moved Ashton into his first apartment..
Where does the time go? Seems like just yesterday he was just a little one... and now.. he is THE TYPICAL kid brother... I know I said "whatever" alot, but I think he just may beat me on it once it is all said and done! Sometimes I wonder about that kid, but no matter what... He is going places! Mark my word on that... Not sure what yet, but you will hear about him... IN A GOOD WAY!

What else is new?
Broxton has his first tooth coming in!
I tell you what, he changes so much from day to day!
It makes me so happy to be a mom to such a sweet baby boy. But at the same time, it just KILLS me that Marc has to miss all of this! Luckily though, we are able to talk on webcam and he gets to see him! Broxton is trying to learn to crawl.. He keeps going backwards, but he tries!
I was able to put the webcam on the ground and let Marc see it..
Speaking of Marc seeing..
Broxton and Papa have "popsicle" time...
Well, I recorded it for Marc to see...
When I finally got to show him, he was so happy! Marc was smiling SO BIG! He sat up close to the computer and it was great to get to see him so happy seeing our sweet boy!
I have been recording Broxton so we can mail it to Marc, but I have to admit... I have not figured out how to dump it onto the computer so that I can burn a disc... That is my next project...
(and we ALL know how I am with projects!)

As we all know from the news, Afghanistan is pretty busy these days... To put it mildy..
Please keep Marc ( as well as all the members of the military and thier families) in your prayers... I know that the journey is going to be a long and trying one, but WE WILL make it!

I hope you all enjoy my blog...
I plan to talk about all kinds of things!

Hope you have a happy day!!!

    Well I guess I have to make my own blog soon too. I have been waiting on Jeremy to get it done but not happening still ;)
    FYI - Video making, depending on if you are using your webcam or camera, they are usually saved as a Windows Media Player. If you are trying to get them on a disc no problem, but if you are trying to get them on a DVD for movie playing, you will have to purchase a program that does it! UGH! -Natalie

    when is Marc supposed to come home?
    Way to save...er...spend $20! LOL Sean got a high chair for his birthday from his parents! ha! What a way for the grandparents to use their son's bd to get something for their grand kid. Love it!
    How old is Broxton now?
    It's crazy, Sean is not gone, but he still misses so much just working 9-5!

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my...

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Image
Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c...

Hurry Up! Review & Giveaway

Image
The Holidays are getting closer and closer! Some may want the days leading up to them to "Hurry Up!" So, with that in mind... I want to kick things off with a pretty cool giveaway!!!!!!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game is kicking things off for us... Check back daily to see what is in store!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game, by Random Line is a hit around here already! True enough, Marc and I did not follow the directions, exactly as we were supposed to, but that was because I did not read them all the way! In our defense, we just wanted to see how much fun it would be to prepare for when the boys are here again! (Note, it will be a big hit! I can see it already!!) This game is super fun and as the name says... Hurry Up!!!! You have 6 die and 6 challenges... One dice is blue... and that adds for lots of fun!!! You only have 30 seconds to complete the challenge... and you might think that 30 seconds is a long time, but in actuality, it is NOT as long as you need it for some challenge!!!!...
