Contest

I am participating in a contest at Best Kids Apps for a chance to win an Apple iPad. This is a blog about iPhone apps for kids. While I don't have an iPhone or an iPad, some of these apps look so cool that it tempts me. I know my kids would love for a chance to play just one of these apps.

While I don't know if I will win, the ipad would be neat to have and would get a lot of play time in my house. All of my kids love to play games and if it is electronic, all the better. It would come in the handiest on dance nights. These are Thursday night dance classes that Caitlin takes. We are there for two hours on these nights. Do you know what kind of torture this is for my two boys? If we try to stay inside, they just can't sit still or keep their voices down to a low enough volume for other people to hear themselves think. We usually stay in the truck where playing space is very limited, even with the seats put down to create a somewhat flat space to lay down and play on.

This is a really neat contest and the website is nice, too. Go and take a look around. The reviews tell all about the app, how much it is, and provides a link to iTunes where you can buy it. They even tell you how to set up your iPad with one of the first tips being to set up when your kids aren't around!

True Friend

Courtney is Caitlin's best friend and she has Cystic Fibrosis. We are doing the Great Strides walk this coming weekend to help raise money for the CF Foundation. This is a video I put to together of the girls.



Courtney has also had several hospital stays since we have known her. These stays are called "tune ups" and she has to stay 2 weeks every time. Maybe one day, these hospital stays will be a thing of the past along with all those medicines.

Thank you for taking the time to watch and, if you can, scroll down and donate today.

Great Strides 2010

We are walking the Great Strides 2010 walk next weekend, May 1st. This walk is to benefit Cystic Fibrosis. We are a part of Team Courtney*. Courtney is Caitlin's best friend and has Cystic Fibrosis. We are hoping to raise money to help find a cure. There are drugs in the "pipeline" that could help a lot of people, but there is not enough money to get them out there. If you can, please click on the following link and make a donation. And if you are in the area, come out and join us on Saturday for the walk. It is always a lot of fun and the park is a pretty setting for a nice walk.

Disney 2010

We went to Disney for the start of spring break. We had a good time. It was a very relaxed 4 days, no rushing around. Lots of pictures of the kids of course.

 

Waiting in line for the new toy story ride. Great ride, long wait.

Still waiting. Mr. Potato Head was being a stand up comedian.

Update

I know it's been a while since I've posted anything. I've been sick and been out of town. I'm finally feeling better so I will be trying to post pictures from vacation later today.
