Pay it Forward

I am sooooo embarrassed!
Ok, so I have these maps on my blog for security purposes, yes Jake I am still at it again-worry- worry- worry! On Saturday day I noticed on the Map Loco that someone in Pacific Junction Iowa was looking at our blog. I have been really busy lately and haven't been keeping my blog up like I like to but I do check in to see who has commented and who is looking, so I know my effort is all for nothing. So when I saw Pacific Junction pop up I thought to myself, I know no one from there.... So I started checking it more and more and today I noticed they were on at the same time I was and I just thought what sicko is looking so much at our blog!?
Come to find out my blog stalker has been identified....it is me! Our service from Qwest come out of Omaha so usually it says Omaha. I know Omaha is a ways away and Pacific Junction if you google map it is just over the border south of Omaha. So our service office must have moved or something but Pacific Junction Iowa is me not some sicko.
However it does still raise a concern because anyone can do it but I am not yet going to make this blog private. First for my mom due to her struggle with technology and passwords and the other is selfish because I have heard that once people go private everyone forgets about them. So for right now the stalker has been caught and I am feeling safer and I will keep it open for all!

Muti-tasking...
This picture of "J" makes me laugh every time I look at it. We had to run to a near by city the other night to grab supplies for the final touches on the house and "J" had been wanting to talk to his friend all day. His friend finally called him back while we were on the road and since he was already into his movie he just put the phone under the headphones and watched his movie and talked to his friend....I am so proud, he learned the art of multi-tasking!
Sorry I think I got my finger on the edge of it!
Also don't forget to see the latest updates on the house and make sure you check out the recipe blog for another yummy salad from my sister-in-law Nancy! Mm...Mmmm...Mmmm...

The best 4 minutes I spent online today...
I just watched this on my friend Rosie's blog. Thanks for that post Rosie, it was seriously the best 4 minutes I spent online today... I think we all need to listen to this and may I say these men are TRUE apostles and prophets of God. They give hope and peace and even warning. What they say, I say to you, is true!

My Clone Trooper
Hubby went to a nearby city for a meeting a couple of weeks ago and ran into Walmart before heading home. He likes to browse the clearance section and every once in a while he finds something pretty fun! This time he found quite the find, a costume left over from Halloween for a couple of bucks! To most this would be considered junk but to our oldest it is the costume of all costumes..."J" loves clone troopers and to have a costume that makes him one it is the best thing to his little imaginary world. Now if it was me I would be the main character like Luke or Han or Obi-Wan or Annakin (sp?) but "J" thinks the clones are soooo cool, and lines up his army when ever little brother will allow, preparing for his battle.
In the morning you can count on the first sound a little ping-ping from his sound effects simulating the sound of their guns off the cartoon, a sound my mom laughs at when ever she hears it over the phone. He is always playing Star Wars and all though the main character are gathering dust, his clones are racing into battle all day.
You can only imagine the excitement when his dad finally gave it to him last night, after having to work to earn it. He is now a "real" clone.
