Game Day Fun – Go Blue!

Posted in Family, and Photography

Project 365 – #253 I grew up watching Michigan football games. Some of my fondest memories with my Dad growing up were going to the Big House to watch football games. Moving away from Michigan didn’t change my enjoyment of watching the Wolverines battle it out.  We didn’t always have the opportunity to watch MI football depending on where we were stationed, but we at least tried to keep tabs on how things were going.  Now, Munchkin is starting to enjoy watching some of the games with us. For this game day, we decided to wear some of our new…

The Little Herd

Posted in Family

Project 365 – #252 The little squeaks are growing quickly.  It’s hard to believe they’re almost a week old.  It looks like we have 2 females and 1 male, but we’ll need to confirm that in about 2 weeks when it’s time to remove the males from the females.  They’re so cute as they follow each other in a little herd.  Choco, the papa, is allowed in with them for closely supervised visits as he is a bit lonely, and he loves being with his family.  Rosita is doing a great job as a mama; she takes care of the…

Power Outage

Project 365 – #251 What do you do when a power outage comes along – a huge outage that covers southern Arizona and southern California and parts of northern Mexico?  Well, first you pray that it doesn’t stay off very long as it’s really hot outside, and you have lots of food in the fridge & freezer that you don’t want to go bad.  Then, you try to find out what caused the outage and how long it’s suppose to stay out. If you’re a kid, you have fun playing with cute guinea pigs, and you learn that constantly going…

Reading on the Go

Posted in Family

Project 365 – #250 Yes, I still very much like the feel of a book in my hands.  I like being able to physically turn the pages and quickly flip to my favorite passages.  Yet, I do like the ease of being able to slip a multitude of books into my purse in the form of my Kindle.  I can take my Bible and devotional with me as well as several different books without the weight and bulk of carrying all of these things.  I’m so torn between the old fashioned way of reading and the digital age.  I don’t…

Review and Giveaway: Theo Presents dvd

Posted in Reviews

Theo Presents is an all new animated video series from the same man, Michael Joens, who brought to you animated favorites such as McGee and Me and Adventures in Odyssey.  Mike created the concept of Theo back in 1978, but the Lord wasn’t ready to open the door for it’s production until now.  One little tidbit that I found interesting is that Mike is a former Marine who ended up in the animation industry after attending Bible college.  He worked for several big name companies such as Marvel Productions, Warner Brothers,  and Hanna Barbera Studios before starting his own animation…
