Who's With Me?
This coming Saturday, March 13th- Chick-fil-A is having a pajama party. If you were pajamas to any Louisville/Southern Indiana Chick-fil-A before 10:30 you get a free breakfast item of your choice. So, who is with me?
Happy Birthday Blue
Yesterday we had a fun family fun morning, we got to see Blue's Clues Live at Derby Dinner Playhouse. This was so much fun! We got the tickets from our Early Childhood Director at church, she has season tickets and her kids are too old for Blue, so that made it extra special. A little girl from Cooper's class and her mom (who happens to be in our small group) also joined us. At first I was a little worried how Cooper would do, he isn't the greatest at sitting still. We got seated around 9:15 which left 45 minutes before the show started, but luckily we did have breakfast to keep us occupied. Then the show itself lasted just under an hour. It was really the perfect length for kids. Well my worry was for nothing, he sat in amazement the entire show. The only peep I heard from him was when he would turn around and ask for Blue Puppy, who really wasn't in the show that much. That would be my only complaint. Blue & Magenta were giant characters, they both had to be led into the stage since the actors could not see out of the costumes and neither came out much. But it was still cute and and had all the fun songs. I didn't get any good pictures but it appears our camera does take video, Steve figured this out accidentally, which is so awesome because I will be posting videos all the time. He is a short one of Cooper waiting for the show to start. As you can see, even after breakfast I had to break out the Cheerios.
Sorry, it has to be the link, I can't get it to post.

I Heart Kohl's
I did some more shopping today, but relax it was all for Cooper. I had a 20% off coupon for Kohl's plus they were giving away Kohl's cash so we headed out this morning and stocked up on some spring/summer clothes. I ended up getting over 10 outfits and a Toy Story patio chair for Cooper. I got some good deals and $20 Kohl's cash which I will probably use for some tennis shoes.
Cooper likes his new chair.
This was my favorite outfit.

Club Mom
Gretchen and I headed to Club Mom at the Greentree Mall yesterday and were quickly reminded of why we stopped going. It was mass chaos. There also happened to be an Easter Egg hunt which I am sure is what led to the large crowd, I just don't think I'll be going back anytime soon. I think between our three kids we got maybe 10 eggs, of course our kids aren't the type to run and push other kids out of the way, so maybe that's why. One benefit of Club Mom are the coupons for a free children's meal with the purchase of an adults meal. We opted for Subway, which wasn't too crowded at first but I ended up in line 2 people behind Gretchen and you really don't want to mess with me while I'm hungry and my child is hungry. I felt better after I ate.
Some of the highlights included fitting all three children in the backseat of Steve's car. I drove his car b/c I thought it was bigger than mine, and it is bigger but we barley got the door shut. Our cars are paid for and I have no intention of having a car payment anytime soon so it looks like we are a 2 kid family.
Another highlight was Hope's face during the marionette show. She loved the butterfly and ballerina.

Cute
Don't they make a cute couple? I guess they would if Gretchen wasn't married to Paul and Eric wasn't married to Tracey. For some reason this is just something they do, they like getting their picture taken looking like a couple.
I also found this one on my computer from a couple of summers ago.

More questions
I have more questions and more answers
These are all from Jaime-
1- How long have I been blogging and why did I decide to do it?
I started blogging right after Cooper was born. I didn't think my life was interesting enough until then. Plus it's a good for memories. Sometimes I go back and re-read my posts and laugh at some things I have forgotten.
2-What do I do for a living?
Well my degree is in accounting, but I quit my job to stay at home with Cooper when he was 7 months old.
*** I was working for Mercer (HR Consulting) when I quit my job.
3- Where do I live?
I grew up in Charlestown but currently live in Jeff. Well, when I grew up the geographical area I live now was considered Charlestown, but Jeff got greedy and took over.
4- I have no idea where my mom got the idea for J-A-M-I as a spelling. It can get annoying at times.
And one more from Jill-
Any baby names yet?
Well if it is a girl then Sydney Grace- that was the name we had picked out the first time.
If it is a boy we know the middle name will be Scott, but haven't decided on a first name. I'm leaning toward Cameron Scott, it's really starting to grow on me. And if we do decide on that name, we have no intention on using all C names, we just happen to like it.

Questions & Answers #1-6
This is going to be fun!
#1- from Alicia- Where did you and Steve meet?
Steve & I met in 1998 when he was working at The Buckle inside, at the time, River Falls Mall. I worked there that summer for a couple of months and we started dating. The job & the relationship were both short lived, but we met back up again 2 years later. His last two years of school were intense and he thought he was going to have to move away for 6 months to do field work, he ended up only leaving for 3 months but spent those three months living in Maryland. So we took things very slowly at first, but it must have worked cause here we are 12 years and 1 1/2 kids later.
#2- from Karen- What would be your dream vacation, besides Disney?
It's hard to pick a dream vacation that at the time doesn't include Disney b/c a dream vacation for me includes one that we can do as a family. Although I like the beach, I would get so bored just laying out everyday and I don't like to fly so I can never see myself leaving the country besides maybe Canada. So if I had pick, maybe a trip along the Pacific northwest. I would love to visit Cannon Beach, Oregon one day.
#3- from Jaime- wild card question- something I would like for you guys to know.
This is hard one, I would much rather have someone ask me questions. Let's see, if I were to pick a perfect date it would hands down be some type of sporting event. You can totally skip the romantic dinner. Some of the best times I've had with Steve have been going to IU games and of course the Colts games we went to this past season.
#4- from Jessica- what would you like the next baby to be, and the one after that?
Very Funny! Honestly, I do not have a preference. At one minute I think I want another boy then the next I want a girl. Reading my #3 answer, I think I would be better with boys, I will take a t-ball game over a dance recital any day. And, I'm pretty sure we are a 2 kid family, but if we were to have three, I would like either 2 boys and a girl (no particular order) or all boys.
#5- from Gretchen- my first crush?
In the first grade I was in love with a boy named John Bowen. It's going to be funny if people from my high school read this b/c we went to school together all through 12 grade and graduated together. I actually think I sat next to him during graduation. But at 6, I was in love.
#6- from Tracey- what is my most embarrassing moment?
Well, I have a lot. I do tend to fall down a lot. But this one takes the cake, I was about 7 months pregnant and had just started a new position at work. We had monthly staff meetings were the new persons stands up, tells about themselves and maybe a hobby. I had already worked for this particular group before but I still had to do it. There were probably at least 100 people in this staff meeting ,if not more. Anyway, I can't remember my exact words, but for my hobby I meant to say getting ready for the baby. However, I pointed to my belly and it came out something like this "Well, I'm pregnant, it's kind of obvious what my hobby is". I sat down and people were cracking up! Then it hit me. Luckily I worked with some laid back people of most knew me so knew I had meant to say. It was the topic of conversation that day when everyone went back to work, hey did you hear what Jami Lee said at the staff meeting? I wanted to crawl in a hole.
Okay, keep the coming guys, this is fun!
