It's Give-A-Way Time!

Who likes to win? (hand raised me, me, me)

Who likes to win REALLY awesome stuff??? (both hands raised me, me, I do!)

Are you a military family reading this post and are going through a deployment, training, school, etc???

How many times have you been separated because of  schools, trainings, deployments etc. did you ever wish you could just hear your loved ones voice?  (If I had to answer that question it would be DAILY...all day...everyday, right?)

Well, I have been contacted by Super Tintin to give away something INCREDIBLE!

Super Tintin has partnered with Skype and they are offering....drumrolll please...
Skype Recording Licenses to 100 very deserving military families! 

Are you asking if I am serious?  Yes, the answer is YES I am serious!  Skype Recording Licenses to 100 very deserving military families! 

And Super Tintin is allowing me to give-a-way 7 of those licenses to my readers!

Here is some information from Kate at Super Tintin:
Here are a few of the features of SuperTintin for recording Skype calls:

Both Audio and Video: Record all audio and video streams including Skype voice mail and screen sharing video.


Easiest to Use: Very easy to record and playback.


Highest Quality: Supertintin records by capturing original media data while making sure there is no data loss. Because it is not a screen-capture recorder, video quality is not affected at all if you open, close and/or resize messenger windows while recording.


Picture-in-Picture: Record video in Picture-in-Picture, Side-by-Side, Remote-Only, or Local-Only mode! And you can also record local and remote video as two separate files.


Saving. Supertintin lets you easily save your conversations to your computer's hard drive or a portable USB drive, allowing you to re-watch your conversations as easily as watching your favorite DVD.

So...for the DETAILS:
This give-a-way will remain open until Feb. 12, 2012 11:59 CST.  On Feb. 13., I will choose (randomly) the 7 winners and contact them via email.   I will then forward the winners email info to Kate at Super Tintin who will then follow up with the winners-giving them the license info just in time to use for Valentines Day. 

One thing to note: SuperTintin is not compatible with Macs, at least not yet.

Know What I Love...

Know what I love????



I love watching Jack playing with Gunner.  He loves to "teach" him new tricks...Gunner loves it too because he gets treats.

I love watching Madeline play with Gunner.  He is so much patience with her.  She thinks he is her personal baby doll...just look at the way she carries him.  Gunner lets her and he just has this look of "how much longer do I have to deal with her?" 

I love Gunner's new collar and leash.  J brought them home for Gunner...of course hunting orange right? 

I love warm afternoons in January...its seriously in the 70s here.  We are having so much fun in the backyard swinging, playing with the pup, playing basketball ....

and of course a little family game of tag football :)   I also love that J is home with us so he can do these things...gah he has missed out on so much.  We have lots of family time to catch up on.  :)

I love when Jack smiles and he is missing his 2 front teeth...of how cute is that???

I love that I am able to stay at home with the kids so that I can go on field trips with them.  Madi's school recently went to the museum...we had so much fun! 

I love my husband for so many reasons...I love that he understands how important it is to me to lead a bible study so he volunteers to not only keep our children, but also children of other ladies in the study. 

I love riding with my windows down in this great weather we are having.

I love that I got a card in the mail today from a friend I have not heard from in a while...there is just something about hand written letters ;)

I love that we are taking the kids to Disney soon. :)

I love that my mom is moving closer to us.

I love getting a milkshake after a tough zumba class...yes I did that...yes it was good...yes I know I defeated the purpose of the workout

I love hearing the sound of the garage door open at the end of the work day. 

I love when J walks in the door he goes straight to the puppy and starts talking this baby talk stuff to him...he cracks me up. 

So what are some things you are loving right now???

I Have An Announcement

I have a special announcement I would like to share ....

It is something very exciting...

Our family is growing...








We have a new addition....





I would like to introduce you to GUNNER!!!

Gunner is our new puppy!!  How cute is he???

The kids have been asking us for a while for a puppy...I finally caved.  :)

My sweet friend, Wendy, has a precious dog that had a litter of puppies they were giving away so we decided to bring one home.  We are not sure what kind of puppy Gunner is.  We know that his mommy is an English pointer, but his daddy was a "visitor" lol 
It took the kids a little while to settle on a name.  Madeline came up with ice cream and spotty.  Jack wanted a "hunting" name...so we put it all together and named him Gunner Spotty Crow. 

So...what did you think the big announcement was going to be????
