Gigi's and Adventure Jakes

We went over to Gigi and Pops on Sunday and the kids swam alot that day. Here are some pictures...







This week has been busy. I am spending the week as a stay at home mom, which, as I have mentioned before, is absolutely tiring and it wears me out! Especially with an 8 and a 5 year old. We have had good days and bad. It's frustrating to constantly say the same things over and over (and over and over). But, overall, it's been good. Monday, I took the kids to the DMV (where we waited all of 15 minutes because the line was 3 hours long) and then to the social security administration office. We went back to the DMV on Tuesday (earlier this time) and so now, I am legally and officially Jenna R. Whitehead. My husband seems very happy about this. :-) The kids did pretty well those days, until we got to my mom's yesterday to go to see Despicable Me, and Sophia decided she wanted to act despicable herself. She spend last night in her room because she didn't behave all day long. Oy.

Today, I took the kids to the dentist - NO CAVITIES! Good news! Then, I found a coupon for a place called Amazing Jakes and decided to take the kids. I have to say, this place isn't exactly the cheapest place, but it is WORTH YOUR MONEY. To me, Chuck E. Cheeses is expensive and you don't really get your money's worth. There are other places out there which make you pay for food, then each game or activity seperately. This place, for $14.99 per kid, you get a HUGE buffet of pizza, salad, pasta, soup, potatoes, and desert (which you can go through all day the whole day if you wanted to) and all the rides you can ride for 3 hours, plus $5 for the ticket games. (and their games are 35-50 cents each so it can last for a while!) The people there were wonderfully friendly, it was clean, and there was TONS of stuff you can do. They had mini golf, laser tag, bumper cars, go-karts, a train, an airplane ride, and a carasel (spelling?). The kids had an ABSOLUTE blast. I probably wouldn't suggest this place on a weekend, because the lines were just a little long, but it really was only for the go-karts and bumper cars. I hardly ever leave a place thinking I got my money's worth (I still don't think Hurricane Harbor was worth it) but I would have no problem paying for that again. On Thursdays, kids eat free and they take the price of a kids' buffet off the unlimited ride package. Here are some pictures, hope you enjoy!

What is Your Skin Care Regimen?

Since turning 34 this year, I've been really trying to make sure I am taking care of my skin. I have been using Cover Girl Liquid Powder for years, but it always seemed to break my neck out. And full disclosure, my face cleaning routine consisted of using Avery's baby wipes (which actually do remove eye makeup surprisingly well). So, needless to say, my skin didn't always look its best.   So, I received some gift cards for my birthday and I decided to go ahead and spring for some better products. First thing I did was get something designed to clean my face. I ordered the Olay ProX Microdermabrasion System.     This system came with the battery-operated scrubber with both a brush and foam pad, plus every day face wash and microdermabrasion wash to be used twice a week. I have really loved using this system. The beauty is that you can really use any face wash you'd like. I will probably buy a pore-reducing wash after the tube they sent me is empty. This syst

It was a very good day.

I love it when God smiles upon us. I mean, He smiles upon us all the time. But sometimes, it's like sunshine, and Christmas morning, and rainbows, and babies, and awesomeness. On steroids. And I know that those times are not always permanent, so I learn to really wrap myself in His goodness, to take it all in, be happy, and just sit back and wait to see what He is going to do in my life. We have been struggling so long. I knew it was only a matter of time before things would be OK again. Where we would feel a little stability. Where we would take all of the things we learned while struggling and apply then when times are good. We have alot of great things going on in our lives right now. Some really great things. Some amazing, mindblowing, off the grid kind of great things. I wish I could share more, but for right now, let's just say that we are incredibly blessed with some great opportunities God is putting in our lives. I leave you with a gorgeous picture of our biggest bl

Dancing With Dad

I have been working on a project these last couple of weeks for my previous company. Yesterday, I was working on my computer and heard roaring laughter coming from Avery's room. I walk in and found Jason and Avery dancing and singing away.   By sheer coincidence, this popped up on my Timehop today. Avery was only 1 in this picture. Boy, are these kiddos lucky to have such a great dad! It makes me heart melt.
