This Is Us

Yeah, we are still here. Haven't gotten a chance to get any new posts on here though. Our computer won't open the Internet , so we can't post anything, or put any new pictures up. Melissa is using her parent's computer, but it doesn't have our pictures. We'll get it back up and then we can get going again with our posts.

Sorry, this is the only post for today, and maybe the next couple days. Melissa isn't feeling well, at all, and doesn't have energy to do much. Thanks! See you in a couple days.

One day Xander and Allie (Cris and Renee's daughter) were playing with some of the 3-D glasses we got from a movie. Well I looked over and Xander had 3 pairs of them on. It was so funny. I took a picture, and then Allie wanted a picture too. So here they are:

The other day the kids were so anxious to play outside. It's was a little cold, but Melissa thought not to bad so we went to the park. We stayed for only about 20 minutes, but they had so much fun! They were running around, bouncing on the bridges, and playing peek-a-boo in the tunnels. Melissa told the kids about 10 more minutes and they said okay. Then we got down to 5, and then we had to leave. Brichette and Xander listened and started heading for the car, but Athena bolted for the play set again. Brichette being a big helper chased after her. I told her thank you, and to go get in the car. Melissa had to carry Athena, because she didn't want to leave. So when it's a little warmer we will have to go back and stay longer.

On my way to drop Brichette off at school today the car in front of me had some bumper stickers about Jesus Christ. At the red light I took the opportunity to read them. I can't really remember all of them, because there was on in particular that stood out to me. It said "Jesus died for you, so that he wouldn't have to be without you!" How cool is that? I love it. I was thinking about those bumper stickers on her car which reminded me of a joke. There is this lady in a mini van just driving down the road, when a car pulls out of a parking lot cutting her off. She starts yelling and screaming at him... swearing up a storm, honking the horn, and flipping him off. Then she hears a police siren, looks in her rear view mirror and see the flashing lights. So she pulls over. He asks her to Please step out of the car. He has her put her hands above her head and slowly walk backwards to his car. He handcuffs her, and takes her to jail. All the while she is wonderin...

We thought they were so cool that we had to share them. We have gotten two things from the My Coke Rewards, for free (of course). One - Is an old fashioned Coke bottle opener Two - is a 10 cup rice cooker. We are so excited. The next thing on our list to buy (if we can ever get our points up to it now that they've changed to the weekly limit) is a food processor.

So Melissa has been entering the coke rewards and getting some really cool free stuff. Thanks to her parents and aunt for donating most of the points!!! About two weeks ago they changed things. Before you could enter 10 codes per day, so in a week you could get up to 700 points. On their website they had an announcement that the daily limit would be going way. We thought that was totally awesome, because then we could enter as many as we wanted (we have a stack that keeps getting bigger). Well they took the daily limit away and made it a weekly limit. So now you can only enter 120 points per week. So we are loosing up to 580 points a week. How DUMB is that!!! We are so irritated, and think they should change it back to the daily limit!!!
