Want to join me?
















Yep, pull up a chair, sit down, have a bowl of Crow...I'm having some, doesn't taste too good, but after awhile, you get used to the taste!!! I agreed to something I always said I would NOT do as a mother. Yep, I'm not going to win the mother of the year award after all.





We bought our boys.....I can hardly say it.......a Trampoline! CB got it for his bday. A friend of a friend had one for sale, their girls didn't use it anymore. It was cheap and we caved....best $50 we've ever spent! Oh my gosh, the fun that has been had already is undescribable. CB was sooooo excited. JB, my dad, my sis and myself all tackled the project together...after about---well I don't know how long, we got it together and CB and my nephew, Rance jumped and jumped and jumped and..well, you get the picture! My boys haven't slept this hard since school started!! I actually couldn't wait to get on it and try it out myself. Oh my gosh, it's soooo much fun! My neighbor was getting a kick out of it too! She asked me if it was for me or the boys?!?!

The weather has been great for jumping on it...today won't be so great. But they have gotten $50 worth of good out of it already...and we've had it 4 days....

Have a blessed week!

That is GREAT!! We had a trampoline at our old house, but it didn't make the move with us. My kids miss it.
BTW, crow is an aquired taste!

we have had a couple of those rascles, the kids loved them...the wind blew one up on the house...we have always told yall about the wonderful wind we have here in the spring.....It tore it up. Then we bought another one and they jumped and jumped on it.....my youngest also knocked out 5 teeth on it...all baby teeth....but it was ugly. Finally it got worn out..the sun here really does a number on them. And I have never replaced it. But they are fun. DH and I used to go out and lay on it in the summer and look at the stars. Have fun and watch those teeth!

Looks like a ton of fun, but where are the pictures that prove YOU are enjoying it as well?! I'm from the 'I'll never buy our kids one of those' camp, but honestly, kids can get hurt just walking out the door so let 'em jump!I might even get one after the kids are gone!

Tramps" as they are called here are a blast. We bought the old kind - the rectangle shaped in Amarillo and it has moved across the country with us. When there's nothing else to do - the tramp can always entertain! We, like RW, love to watch the stars on them - especially during a meteor shower. Have a great time!

Oh what FUN!!! My first trampoline experience was at my grandparents, and I must tell you...I fell off, or rather flew off while jumping by myself once {gasp}! I was okay, just embarrassed...I didn't even go in to tell my mom what happened! I landed on rocks too :) ouch!

Kim has one too, and the girls love it! You'll get lots of entertainment out of it, that's for sure! Jump away!!

Ours is called the Tan-Tan! Thank the Good Lord we have a net around it. Kash almost has a backflip mastered at 4 years old! Tan-Tan's are called livin' life on the edge!

Just keep chewing - Crow will taste better eventually!

Thanks for stopping by my blog and for your suggestions! We bought a trampoline last year and I love it more than my kids do!

Oh girl! I hear ya though!
My MIL bought Savannah one and I almost fell over. She loves it and jumps on it all the time! I so want to get rid of it! My child is a daredevil I tell ya and tries all kinds of stunts and things. I have been known to get on and jump as well!

When I nannied for some girls around 12 years ago, they had a trampoline. I was so impressed with what they could do on it (they were both gymnasts, too!)Even though I was quite a bit, ahem- younger back then, I was hardly brave enough to just jump up and down, lol! ;)

Could this trampoline have come from the Niederee household??? The boys will love it!
