Geocaching

My neighbors and friends recently started playing this GPS game called geocaching and after looking it up my self it looks like a ton of fun!! I started an account yesterday on it and plan to go out with my family to Sandy Bottom nature park today and see if we can find some caches. I plan to take photos at every cache we do and when I have enough (and more ink for the printer) I will start making a geocache type scrapbook for us so we can keep record both online at the geocaching website and in our possession as well. That and if it's a lot of fun it would be a great memory keepsake for us and probably a great conversation starter : D As we do this I will try and remember to put a few pics on here from time to time about our adventures, I love the fact they call people who have no idea about the game muggles : ) 


Another not tomorrow are my boys last day of school til September. It's also my oldest son's class party and I have volunteered for the whole (it's a half day of school) day. Looking forward to it because there will be a game of kickball, a water balloon fight among other things.... Well that's all for now oh I did try this thing where you take the bottom parts of green onions and place in a cup of water and it will sprout out more green onions, well it worked and it's been a little over a week and they are as big as when I bought the green onions from the store lol. I'll add pictures as soon as stinkin' facebook decides it wants to work keep getting the URL message which is BS but what can you do right lol You should go check out the geocaching sight and if it sounds like something you would like to try start a free account. Also there is a free app called c:geo you can get and will work with the geocacheing site : D


Happy Hunting,

My CCFA Take Step's Team

I started a Take Steps BE HEARD team earlier this year because a family member of mine has Crohn's and seeing that person suffer from the disease really sucks especially since you can't do anything to make them feel better or more comfortable. I came across CCFA which stands for The Crohns and Colitis Foundation Of America. The Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America is a non-profit, volunteer-driven organization dedicated to finding the cure for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.  



We have a team page on their Take Steps BE HEARD Website , Our team name is "Tatooine Rebels" . My personal page is Click Here . Our team goal is to raise $500 and my own personal goal is to reach $100.  We would appreciate any amount donated towards our team and or personal pages, as well as anyone who would like to walk with us during our walk September 30th 2012 at Tidewater Take Steps for Crohn's & Colitis   walk. 


Thanks for any and all support and donations!!

Oh how my garden grows

I love gardening!! I get that from my Mom lol. I took a bunch of photos of the stuff I am growing. I did start a garden blog but I can't find it now so I am just going to post my pictures here lol... I will put what it is under each of the photos : D
^ My Tomato plants ^

 ^ My Spinach plants ^

 ^ My Hot Pepper - Hot Mix plants ^

 ^ My cherry tomato's ^

 ^ My cucumber plants ^

 ^Not sure what this one is I thought it was a cucumber 
but it isn't it looks more like a watermelon plant ^
 ^ One of two pumpkin plants ^
 ^ The apple seeds my youngest son planted ^
 ^ My Birdhouse gourd plants ^

 ^ Some of my strawberry plants ^
 ^ My carrots ^
 ^ My herb garden growing in a over the door
shoe organizer ^

 So I have a bunch of stuff growing now : ) I can't wait to start eating some the stuff from my garden!! I wont have one as big as year next year because when we move the place we are moving into wont allow me to plant in the ground so everything will have to grow in pots. I need to start collecting and buy large pots for my plants out front I am taking with me like my Tiger lilies, irises and hostas : ) So i will be looking up creative ways to grow my cucumbers and other plants next year from pots. Anyways I am going to call it a night there are a few shows I want to watch before heading to bed : D  Night all

Oldetown Portsmouth, VA

We went and visited Oldetown Portsmouth Va and had a blast!! We went to the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Museum, The Lightship Portsmouth Museum and walked on Court Street and visited a few churches there. I took a ton of photos (As I always do but whatever I love photography) and all in all it was a great Family day out!! We loved it all even the kids enjoyed themselves  : D  Here are a few of the photos I took


















Best part of it all was it was all 100% free!! The museums were free today, they will be free other Saturdays as well, and visiting the Historical sites well is free too lol. Can't wait to do some more events in this beautiful part of Portsmouth!! I will have to get the calendar I have and post other events we plan to go and attend or at least try to : D
