WZPL 99.5! We won tickets!

What a funny two days...

It all started when J.R. was on call this entire weekend and he didn't have time to do anything for me for Valentines day. No big deal to me, but he was feeling really bad and decided to try to make it up for me by winning tickets to the Glee touring concert off the radio. He never got through to win the tickets, but decided to call the station and ask if he could have a set of tickets anyway. They said, no way, we can't just give them to you - but then decided to turn it into a game. They said they would let the listeners decide and if the first 5 callers said YES he deserved the tickets then they would give them to J.R. The first 3 callers said YES, but the 4th caller said a big NO and I quote, "If he fails to plan, then he plans to fail." (ha ha ha!) So the radio station said sorry, the people have spoken I guess you don't get the tickets.
J.R. hung up and thought that was the end of it, but I guess the stations facebook page got hit with a ton of people saying they thought he deserved the tickets. One woman even called in and said she was going to try really hard to win tickets just so she could give them to J.R. (so funny! Love that woman!) Because of all the hype, the station called J.R. back and said they wanted to talk to him again this morning. After retelling his sad Vday story they decided to let him sing for a set of tickets. They played "Fat bottom girls" and when they stopped the song J.R. had to finish the line of the song. Of course he got the lyrics right and they gave him the Glee tickets and on top of that Indiana Symphony Orchestra gave him tickets to see Idina Menzel!!! They even talked to me for a minute. It was pretty cool! We've never been on the radio before so it was awesome!!


Thank you Smiley in the Morning! We love WZPL 99.5!

Valentines Day

This year for Valentines day I decided to be a little more creative then usual. J.R. and I are terrible at celebrating holidays, but I'm determined to stop our laziness and let holidays be a day to do something special and out of the ordinary. So, I set my boys on a scavenger hunt. They had fun running around the house looking for clues and finding "Naked" Green machine fruit drinks. Of course the end surprise was chocolate and new Superman shirts for the kids. 

I love you J.R.!

I love you Elliot!

I love you Jaxon!

I love you Miles!

Happy Valentines Day!

Elliot was playing camera man. 

He's getting better at getting us all in the shot.

Sharing the Love

Miles 

Jaxon 

J.R. is so tired after work, I just give him the crying babies and let them all take a nap. 

Matchy Matchy. I love the doggy feet.  

They tend to get fussy in the evenings so this is usually how J.R. finds us when he gets home from work...just surviving till another set of hands walks through the door. 

(they must know J.R. is on his way - they're crying with excitement :)

Miles actually did smile at me and Elliot yesterday. This is another attempt to get a repeat performance. 

 Trying out a new sling. Miles loved it once I got him in. He fell right asleep. Jaxon on the other hand got dealt dirt...no comfy sling and no way to keep his binky in place.

My little bundle

Elliot's prayer last night: 

"Dear Heavenly Father, thanks that daddy came home from work and mommy sleeped on my couch."

(I guess that's what we do...take naps and wait for dad to come home. What an observant child :)
