Three months old

It's so amazing to me how much Kaelyn has grown in the last 3 months. She has gone from this completely helpless baby who cried and slept a lot, to a more independent little person that enjoys entertaining herself, likes sitting in our laps, and even will take her pacifier....which she wouldn't do for the longest time. She is changing so much, and I can't wait to see all of the changes she goes through over the next three months. She's such a sweet little girl...we are truly blessed to have her in our lives.

Great Vehicle

Having the kind of weather that we had this week...it makes me sure appreciate our new vehicle. I really like the way it handles in bad weather. It is a safe vehicle and much more reliable than the car that we had before. I'm very thankful that we had the opportunity to buy this vehicle for a reasonable price from Jen's parents. We will have it for a long time to come. Not only because it's a great car for winter, but it makes for a very nice family car as well.

Phone Systems

Have you ever heard of Xpander Communications before? They have a new way of approachcing Call Center VoIP Phone Systems. It seems that these systems used to cost people a lot of money right up front, and installation seemed to take forever! Now, the Xpander Nimbus VoIP Call Center Edition helps the past issues with the Phone Systems disappear. This Call Center in particular has a very low upfront cost and can be up and running within 7 business days. I think this is great, especially when it's a business needing a phones system as soon as possible. In learning more about the Call Center VoIP Phone Systems and all it has to offer, I was very impressed. I definitely think you need to check them out if you'd like to learn more or are considering this for your own business.

Bath Night

Tonight is Kaelyn's bath night. We give her a bath every other night when we can, and she absolutely loves it!! We can't wait until she can sit up and play in the water more...she'll have so much fun! When she was just a newborn, she would scream and scream. I think she was just cold. Now that she's bigger though, she doesn't mind it at all. In fact, she'll smile and coo the whole time!!

Blizzard

We had quite the blizzard at the beginning of the week. Jen and I had to travel back to where her parents live to go to the Dentist. The next day I went back to get Jen and Kaelyn and bring them their computer and I drove through a pretty bad storm. I was happy to get there and ended up staying until the next morning because of how bad it was. The next morning still wasn't too nice, but it wasn't as bad as the night before that.

Recall

I'm sure there are many who have heard by now about the recall of the Kugel hernia mesh. It's really quite a big deal and something I've heard a lot about just recently. If you didn't hear about it, basically these patches had a defect that could cause some serious conditions for patients who used them. Complaints have been made about the patches with the memory recoil rings and those without. That's why Mark and Associates, P.C. were so happy with the decision of the Federal Judge to expand the litigation to include both products. They are even offering free consultations to those patients who have suffered from using these products. You can learn more about it, and apply for a free consultation on their site today. Let them help you.

New Computer

Jen's parents recently got a new computer. They bought it with a discount that I get through work and it's really nice. I was able to go down and help them get it all set up which was fun. I enjoy that type of thing...and really think it's a nice computer. I'd like to buy Jenna one like it down the line sometime. She'd really like it. From what I hear, her parents really like it too...so that's good!!

Welcoming Spring

I'm glad it was a bit warmer today. At work I'm outside some, and when it's below zero I can barely bare it. Now though, with the temps up in the single digits...it's weird to say that it actually feels a lot warmer which is nice! I'm looking forward to even warmer temps as Spring time comes. It's always nice not to have to get all bundled up each morning when I go to work. I'm sure it will be here soon enough!!

Las Vegas

Have you ever been to Las Vegas before? If so, you know how great their Las Vegas Hotels and shows are, right?!! I know I do. If you like Vegas as much as I do, then you definitely have to check out a site that I came across. Best of Vegas offers great prices and deals on clubs, tours, attractions, entertainment, and more! If you'd like to find the very best of all Las Vegas to offer, this is the you're one stop to all of your needs. They will show you the "Best of Vegas" to help you plan your vacation more easily. Definitely give them a look the next time you're planning a trip there...you won't be disappointed with all they have to offer!

Dentist

I had to go to the dentist the other day and found out that I have to get a crown on one of my teeth. I don't have dental insurance with my job, so it's a bummer to hear this news. It's going to cost quite a bit of money and it's just not something that I thought we'd have to pay for at this point. Oh well...i guess it's just something that happens and we have to deal with it as it comes. That's the way it goes sometimes.

Busy Season

I have about two months left until the busy season begins. I'm not really looking forward to it, but I know that once it comes it will only last a short time and then we'll be done. It's probably good the sooner it comes, because it will be over sooner too. It just makes for a long couple of weeks...especially since I have a baby now. I pretty much work 24/7 which is very draining and exhausting.

Sports

I am a huge sports nut. Anyone who knows me understands what a big sports fan I am! I really enjoy watching all kinds of sports...everything from football, to basketball to baseball. In fact, sometime I'd love to get Miami Heat Tickets and go to a game...that would be great. I've actually been searching to see where I can get the best deal on tickets for a game like this and came across Premium Seats USA. They have a really large selection of first class tickets...so it's easier to get tickets from them than it is elsewhere. It seems whenever I look other places they either don't have tickets at all...or not the ones I'm looking for. I'm excited to have found a great site like this and wanted to share it with everyone

TruTV

One channel that I've enjoyed watching these days is TruTV. They have some really great shows on there on Thursday nights. They have a show called Speeders, as well as one about different things that have happened in the courtroom...like major outbursts. It's pretty interesting to watch. Sometimes they have reruns, but I still enjoy watching them because they're really interesting.

Super Bowl

This weekend is the superbowl. Normally I would be more excited, but this year neither team is one of my favorites. I guess if I have to choose though, I would hope that the Giants win. Mainly because the Patriots are undefeated and I'd like to see them lose a game. That sounds mean, but it's true.:) I love football...so I"ll probably watch it, but I definitely don't think that it will be a game that I'm going to watch as closely as I would other teams that have played in the past. Oh well...some years are like that I guess.

Sophos

At my job I'm in charge of taking care much of the computer security side of things. Recently I was researching and found that Sophos is the best thing for businesses who are looking to secure their computer network without wasting their time or money. It's designed specifically for businesses and doesn't even offer retail products. They have 24/7 support which is very handy when you are needing things to run smoothly for your business at hand. From what I can tell from the research I've done, they are better compared to any of those other programs out there. They're easy to use and meets every one of your needs. Take a look at Sophos today to see if it's right for your business.

Tired

Wow am I tired today! Yesterday I had to get up quite early...as I had a class to go to about an hour away. I got off from work earlier than normal...but still didn't get rested after such an early morning and long day. Today I am just dragging. I think I'm going to have to get to be dearly tonight and even take a nap when I get home possibly. At least tomorrow is Friday...that means the weekend is almost here!

Dogsitting Zoe

Pretty soon we're going to be dogsitting Jen's parents dog, Zoe. She's a really good dog and we never mind having her around. For the most part she just lays around and prefers to sleep during the day. Jen likes having her around because she's such great company for her throughout the day. Jen's parents are going on a cruise, so we're gonna watch her for them. It should be a fun time.

Pools

Wouldn't it be great to have a pool right at your home?! I really think it would be. No more spending money going to the public pool. If you live in Mesa Arizona you definitely have it good, because you have Cameo Pools there which is the oldest pool company around that area. Their arizona swimming pool contractors customize the best pools at great value for very affordable prices. They have been in business for over 29 years and are family owned and operated. They're a company known for their dedication to building you a quality pool that meets your needs. They're also known for their outstanding customer service which is definitely important when it comes to a job this big. If you'd like to learn more about Cameo Pools, take a look at their site today.

Blogging for Blogitive

I just love blogging for money. One of my favorite companies to blog for is Blogitive. I like them because they give many opportunities during the week for people to make money. They put them out there and give everyone a chance to grab them. They only pay 5 dollars a piece, but for as many as they put out there that's fine with me! I think I probably make the most money with this company over any of the others. I especially like how they give you two days to do the posts. I really appreciate that being a working person.

Little Projects at Home

Jen and I are really excited about getting some of the things done around our house. We're really wanting to put carpet in our basement and put up a wall in one of the bedrooms upstairs. Although we aren't in a hurry to do either of these things, it will be fun once we have the money to do them. Some day we also want to get working on our 1/2 bathroom in the basement. I'm looking forward to doing these projects and raising the value of our home even more. It's so much fun to make this house our home by all the little touches we do to it.

Find a Job

Like many others out there today, I have been in the situation where I'm looking for a job that suits my interests and needs. I want to find something perfect for me. I'm sure there are others who have been, or who are in this exact situation. If that's you, you should look into AE Feldman Associates, Inc. They are an executive search firm dedicated to the recruiting field. They help those looking for jobs as well as the industries who are looking for employees. They have been very successful in making perfect matches over the past 41 years and continue to do so. They are very knowledgeable and experienced in this line of work. If you want the very best, check out AE Feldman Associates, Inc. today!

Kaelyn

All of the milestones that Kaelyn hits are just so much fun to watch and be a part of. Recently she really begin grabbing for toys and wanting to play more. It's so much fun to watch her. She coos and smiles at her toys now. Before she would just lay there and watch, but now she's becoming more interactive which is great. Last night I gave her the dolly that she got for Christmas and boy did she have fun with it. She was holding onto it and smiling...it was so cute!

Nice Car

We recently bought a new vehicle and are just loving it!! Jen's parents sold us their old escape when they bought a newer one...and boy do we like it. Not only does it sit up higher than our old car, but it's SO much easier to get Kaelyn in and out of it too. It definitely makes for a very nice family vehicle. Jen and I definitely see ourselves taking family vacations in it in years to come!

Super Bowl Here I Come

I don't know about you, but my biggest dream is to go and see the SuperBowl one day!! I am huge sports fanatic, especially when it comes to football. I think being able to go see the SuperBowl would be incredible...especially if the teams that I liked were playing. Wouldn't that be great?! If you think so, then you should check out ticketsnow.com. I learned that they recently announced that people can save 500 dollars on a pair of tickets to the SuperBowl. How you ask?! Well, all you have to do is text message "NFL" to 26220. After you send the message, you will get a message in return with a code that you can use to redeem your super bowl tickets. I am strongly considering it and I hope you do as well!

Valentine's Day

I can't believe that I'm already seeing all of these ads and things out for valentine's day. It doesn't seem like it could possibly be that time of year already, does it?! Wow! My wife and I always decide that we're not gonna do anything too big for this holiday...but I do always like to take her out and buy her a card and flowers. She always appreciates that.:) This year it will be kind of hard to take her out with having Kaelyn now...but that's ok. I can spend the evening home with my favorite two girls! I love them both so much!!

Taking Pictures

Ever since Kaelyn was born, Jen and I use our camera and camcorder more than we ever have before. I'm so glad that we have a dependable camera that allows us to capture all of the fun things that Kaelyn does and is continuing to do. The only problem is, we take so many pictures and have a hard time keeping up with printing them out. We need to start doing that...otherwise we're going to get really behind.

Capella

If you've never heard of Capella University before...it's an online college that's fully accredited. They offer many promising degree programs that allow people to get their graduate or undergraduate course work finished up so that they can find promising jobs. Just ask Teresa Chaulk. She's a PhD student there and recently was named as superintendent of the Lincoln COunty School District Number One in Wyoming. What's great about her school career, is that she was able to continue working in the school system while getting her phd. I think this is great for anyone wanting to further their education from home. Take a look at Capella today and see what they can offer you!

New Blog

My wife recently began writing on a new blog. She's so excited, because it's a blog all about being a mom and all that it entails. She is such a good mom and handles everything so well. I'm glad that she's excited about having a blog like this...as she can share with other mom's some of the things she goes through on a day to day basis. Once she gets her blog up and running I will share the link with you all! Stay tuned..

Big Job

Over Christmas we took SOOO many pictures of Kaelyn and her cousin. We have like 5 CD's full of pictures that we still are going through. We are only saving some of them...as there are MANY repeats of the same types of pictures. It's a big job though, and Jen has been doing most of it lately since I've been working later into the evening. I can't wait until we're through all of those pictures and just have the ones saved that we want to keep.

Gold

Recently my wife and I have been discussing looking into investing a little. I have always heard great things about Monex Deposit Company. What I like best about them is that they've not only been around for over 30 years, but they're also known as America's gold, silver and precious metals investment leader!! That means a lot to me when I'm looking for the very best! Through Monex I can purchase, silver, gold and other precious metals for investment. They will deliver it to me or to a safe storage place like a bank for instance. Everything I've learned about them so far I am really impressed and want to look into purchasing gold bullion through them very soon. If you're like me and ready to invest in something like this, definitely check out Monex today!

SO Cold!

This is not the busy season at work...so most days I don't have much going on. I often find myself doing jobs outdoors though...and let me tell you...it is not fun this time of year!! It's SOOO cold out there. Like, lately it's been 10 below or colder. I am wearing layers upon layers and it still is so bitter out. I think I'm going to have to start doing more work inside. I just can't take that cold weather every day.

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is coming...one of my most favorite days of the year. Not because of me, but because of my wife! On this day, like so many other days throughout the year, I get to spoil her and let her know how much I love and adore her!! She's the world to me and I like her to know that, not only on Valentine's Day, but everyday throughout the year! This year I'm thinking I might be looking at Coupon Chief and their online coupons to help me find something in my price range. I'm thinking about using Blue Nile Coupons, as well as Target Coupons. I think I can find the perfect gifts for her and my daughter between these two stores!!

So Busy!

Lately Jenna has been working so hard at getting through all of the pictures that were taken over Christmas. We have like 5 CD's just full of pics of the family and Kaelyn of course!:) She's so busy during the day taking care of Kaelyn, cleaning, and working online that she rarely has time to just go through the pics. I try and help her when I can, because I know how much she'd like to get through those pics.

Covered Calls

Anyone who knows anything about PowerOptions, knows that along with their complete suite of educational materials they also offer data needed to invest with stock options. They are actually the only provider that allows investors to use SmartSearchXL, which is a great way for them to find, comapre, analyze and make money on stock otpion trading. You can sort, filter and analyze stocks and options online to find the investments that are right for you. Does this and covered calls sound like something that you'd be interested in learning about? If so, then you definitely should check out their site today. You'll see all they have to offer and why they are right for you.

Billing...

I know that the hospital has many patients and are dealing with many different billing statements...but we are getting quite frustrated with ours. Since the time Kaelyn was born we have gotten 5 different bills...all different amounts and stating that it's the final bill. Each time we get one we're not convinced that the total is accurate, so we have to call and come to find out it never is correct. There's always some mess up with the hospital or with our insurance. We finally got the bill that they say is the correct final bill from Kaelyn's birth. Thankfully it's much cheaper than we had even thought it would be...God is good!:)

Dr Appointment

Jen took Kaelyn to a Dr. Appointment today. I felt bad that I wasn't able to make it, as it's not too easy for her to get Kaelyn ready and to the hospital all on her own. Kaelyn is getting bigger and bigger, and for Jenna to carry her in that carrier is not an easy task. I guess it all went well though and she got her there on time and without little hassle. Kaelyn had to get her hearing checked, as this was not done when she was born like it normally would be. Everything went great and our little girl hears perfectly!:) We knew it would all go well...

Capella University

This blog post is based on information provided by Blogitive. For more information, please visit Blogitive.com.

You won't be disappointed in all they have to offer.

Another Favorite...

I was just remembering that another one of my favorite television shows is on tonight as well...Rob and Big. Anyone seen that before? It's probably not a show that everyone would like...but I'm sure that there are many people out there who enjoy watching it just as much as I do. I guess I just enjoy the humor that the show brings. It's really quite funny and just a neat show to watch on Tuesday nights.

American Idol...starts tonight...

Tonight I'm very excited because American Idol is on!! I think it's just starting, so that means they'll show all of the funny auditions and things like that. Jen and I have so much fun watching these. Hopefully we'll get the chance to sit down together and watch it. Sometimes it's not so easy to sit down and watch TV...as Kaelyn is usually needing something...to be changed, fed, played with etc. We'll just see how the night goes I guess.:)
