Mike! Mike!

I took a couple of these videos and couldn't choose just one. Backstory: Mike called to say he was coming home. I told Colin that he could stand by the window and would be able to see him come home. I went into the kitchen to stir something and walked into his room to see him sitting on top of his storage unit! I grabbed the flip camera to ask him what he was doing and he screamed "Daddy! Mike!" I am not uploading that first video but he says it in the other videos too. The funniest part of him saying Mike is that I hadn't said the name/word Mike all day and I rarely even call Mike by his name.

It feels like summertime!

Hard at work
Cutting the grass
Taking a little break from all his hard work
Upset!
Helping wash Leah's car
Wash, wash, wash.
Puddles!

Youngest Gleek

I'm mildly obsessed with Glee so when I like the big "chorus" number, I don't always delete it off my DVR right away. A couple weeks ago, I let Colin listen to them sing and he was mesmerized and quickly asked "one more time" about five times in a row. He asked to see "sing" today and when we watched it the first time, he started singing and dancing to it. Of course when I went to tape it, he froze up but you should see a couple places where he still got into it. So without further ado, I present the youngest Gleek fan.

$wagbucks!

For those who know me well, you already know this about me. For those who don't, let me fill you in on something. I love getting things for free! I love doing surveys for money or points. I like finding things to earn a little extra money. There are so many "get rich quick" things out there nowadays and many are scams but I've come across a couple good sites. While none of them will get you "rich quick" or even rich at all, they are all easy.

The easiest one is Swagbucks. Essentially it's a search engine like say G0ogle. It randomly picks winners when you use their search engine and rewards you with random Swagbucks. You can then redeem those bucks for merchandise or gift cards. I, however, use it for everything even websites I know the address for. Yes, it's an extra step but I figure it increases my chances of winning.

I redeem my bucks for Amazon gift cards which in turn I can use for "free gifts". If you started using the site today and use it often, I'd say you could probably earn $50 in Amazon gift cards before Christmas!!

Mike and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary on May 20th. My parents and Tim graciously offered to watch Colin, so we were able to have some much needed time together. We headed back up to the Inn at Bay Harbor. Once again we were spoiled with a fantastic room, view, and VIP treatment. We had beautiful weather and walked around downtown Petoskey, rented bikes in Bay Harbor, did some gambling, ate some good food, and just relaxed at the resort. While we didn't go overboard with pictures (probably because there was no Colin), I still have too many favorites to chose, so slide show! Often times, the slide shows are off-center for some reason. If so, just click on the slide show and it should allow you to look at the pictures individually.
