Who are the best Website Providers

With the economy in the current condition that it is in and with no relief in site it is important for each and everyone of us to really take a good look at our expenditures and what we can do without or how we can shop around to get the services that we want but still save money. My wife and I have been blogging for a couple of years now and what originally started out as just one blog about our life for family away to keep up with has grown into over 10 blogs between the 2 of us. I found we were spending too much on our hosting services and really wanted to take a look at different options to help us stay on our household budget. The big question is where do you start and how do you even know what it is that you really need. With a little research I was able to discover a webhosting comparison site (webhostinggeeks) that takes all the guess work out of finding a host provider. Their site compares all the best webhosting services under $10 a month. The site offers links directly to the webhost home page so you can find out more information about the services and promotions they are offering. For us we felt that the BlueHost offered us exactly what we were looking for in a host, we wanted to be able to continue using our current domain but transfer it over to the new host. They provide unlimited domains, great for us as we continue to grow our blogdom and unlimited space which is great so we can load whatever we want into our websites without worrying about them running out of space. We are looking forward to many more years of fun, communicating with people all over the World and developing great new friendships along the way.

Making some time

A couple of weeks ago the kids had a fair day at the school and one of the kids favorite things is the yard sale in the gym, they always find all kinds of (*treasures*). This year Kohl's favorite find was an easy bake microwave oven, it came in the original box with a couple of pizza mixes and he wanted to bake bad. We checked it out that night while Carrie was at work and to his disapointment and my relief there was no pan in the oven to bake with. I thought maybe he would forget about it but everyday he would ask when we would by him a new pan for his oven. I finally thought up a new idea today after going around shopping at some stores, and we made a date to bake tonight. I took some tin foil and quadruple folded it and made a small square pan with sides, I even impressed myself with this one. He took off upstairs for his baking set we were ready to bake Pizza, he came down very disappointed, his mixes have gone missing. We looked around a bit but couldn't find them anywhere, seeing the puffy eyes coming I went into back up mode. I knew I had a 1/2 bag of cookie mix in the cupboard so why not try to make cookies instead that would be tastier than the (God only knows how old) Pizza Mixes anyway. With homemade pan, batter and toy microwave oven in hand we got down to business!

Here are my two super helpers giving the batter the final mix up and it appears taste test.

These would be the faces that made it all worth the effort to pull this off!

Trying their hardest to be patient

The final product, I was also baking a batch in the oven to make it go a little faster, we were right at bed time and didn't want to be too late.





The glimmer tells me that it tasted pretty good, the battery died right after this picture but Blake had just about the same expressions as Kohl just a little goofier as you'd expect from him!

That's my boy

I was very proud of my son as this weekend was his year end dance show. He is the only boy in his class and as such gets a lot of the attention through the dances. This is him with the girls in their ballet costumes for Music Box Dancers. They one a gold medal recently at competition with this dance and it took the crowds hearts at the dance show on the weekend. He had a blast performing on stage and we loved every single performance.

I'm going to get your snack

Jay was having a snack the other night and I walked in on him with Breigh desperatly trying to find a way to get a bite of his snack. She went around from one side to the other trying to figure out a way to get a bite off of him. It was really funny to watch but a bad habit for her to start. I had to pull her off him after getting this shot before she got carried away.

A new education alternative

I have been searching for an alternative that would allow me to upgrade my education while still allowing me to maintain my current career and my commitment to my family. This wasn't an easy task, especially considering I live in a fairly rural area with access to the nearest University setting an hour away. It was impossible to find the program I would need to work on my Masters Degree. I recently discovered an online option that will allow people like me to take their degree online. The fully accredited online university programs offered by Capella. Capella offers over 100 graduate and undergraduate programs and is currently serving over 23,000 students in over 45 countries. Programs are designed to be flexible enough to meet your scheduling requirements.

A boy and his Auntie

Jay was very excited to have his favorite aunt come to visit him for his birthday celebration. He really enjoys spending time with her and likes to talk and msn with her in the evenings. Of course she totally spoils him and she always has but it's good for him to have someone he can just spend time with, without expectations. He is hoping to go spend a week with her in the summer when Carrie and Trin go off to New York which would leave me with just the 2 boys.

Party Girl

Even a girl has to join in on the party, we had our relatives over for the weekend to celebrate the kids dance show and our oldest sons birthday. When we got into the cake celebration we started to feel pretty sad for our girl and decided to share a little piece with Breigh. It didn't take her more than a few seconds to devour the treat and she really enjoyed it.

Summertime is coming

Although it isn't even close to being warm we decided to set up the pool to give it a chance to warm up slowly. The kids can't stay out of it going for a swim everyday after school. I tried to stick my hand in the other day and it felt just like a million daggers being shoved into my hand it was that cold. It doesn't seem to bother the kids though they just hop in and have a great time. I sure hope they have a great summer in the pool, it's plenty big for them and looks great in the yard.

Twilight Night

With lots of company over for the weekend we had to find some fun things to do. Saturday night we all decided to watch the movie twighlight movie. The kids thought it was a really cool movie and really enjoyed the snacks and cozy time with family. A couple of them fell asleep during the show and couldn't make it to the end. We had a great weekend with all kinds of food, fun and dancing.
