Welcome

Welcome to my little corner of the world. I am so honored by your visit today. My name is Kristi and I am married to my college sweetheart(I refer to him here as "Mr. Incredible"), momma to my 2 beautiful girls who are growing much too quickly, a high school computer teacher, photographer, and a gardener (at times~right now I'm growing weeds). I love to laugh, drink strong Starbucks coffee, take pictures, and be anywhere my family is. Jesus is my Savior and I try so hard to be the wife and momma that He has called me to be. I often fail but He lovingly picks me up, dusts me off, and encourages me that with Him all things are possible. Feel free to join me on this journey of faith, stop in and say hello, look around, and leave a comment~I love comments. Why "Kiki's Corner?" My nephews call me Aunt Kiki and I love that too.

Tackling the Trampoline


Tackle It Tuesday Meme

Happy Tuesday everyone! We did it! We finally tackled the trampoline~hip hip hooray! My sweet Uncle Tony blessed the girls with a trampoline a few years ago. They LOVED it! They had fun making up routines, practicing cheers, and just having fun. I enjoyed jumping with them (You know it's kinda hard on the old bladder after having babies :-) )



Anyway, we had a huge storm this fall. The powerful winds picked up the trampoline and transported it towards Hannah's bedroom window. Right before it hit her windows, God graciously picked it up and threw it over the fence. It landed in the field in many pieces. I didn't have the heart to tell Uncle Tony. He noticed the trampoline was gone when he came for Christmas.

A few weeks after his visit, two large boxes were delivered to our house. A new trampoline! It was such a fun surprise and blessing. We vowed to put it together when the weather warmed up. Honestly, we meant to put it up around spring break. Spring break's deadline turned into the first day of summer vacation...which turned into...I'm embarrassed to say...we put it together this weekend. Parents of the year! That's us.



Here are the "Tackle the Trampoline" pictures:

Here we go! We think we can! We think we can! We think we can!





Looking good!



We are almost there. Ding-dong:



Cousin "J" stopped by to offer support and to play a few games of Mario Kart. (Have you been practicing lately?) Okay, back to the trampoline:





Are we ever going to get to jump????





Yippee!!! Three cheers for Uncle Tony and our new trampoline!!!





Look at these mad skills!





I can jump higher than you!





From trampoline-less (I almost typed tramp-less...I crack myself up) to this! Isn't it pretty? You need to oooh and ahhhh a little louder. I can't hear you!

This baby took a while to put up but we had fun in the process. It is so nice to have a trampoline again. Way to go Daddy, we couldn't have put it together without you. Thank you Uncle Tony. We love you sooooo much!

Yup after 3 kids I can't even look at a trampoline without a Depends on lol!Girl we need to move closer together. Our kids would have a blast together, not to mention us hee hee! We love Mario Kart and the Wii. But Alas, tis not to be so I guess. So I'll just keep pressing my nose against your virtual window lol. Oh man I need to stop!
Blessings my friend.

Umm, yup. Add me to the list of no more jumping on trampolines too! I miss it. Three babies later though... bad, bad idea! :)

I'm tackling virtual clutter. I'm de-cluttering my blog & store. Pop over for a look.

Looks like alot of fun! I think we may get a trampoline when our kids get a little older.. I'm hoping I can hang in there and be able to jump along with them, too.

Have a great week!

Trampolines are too fun! We had one in our last house. It was a great way for the kids to burn off some extra energy!

WOW! I LOVE it! Such an entertaining post!

And yes, the green on my daughter/scrap room walls... that was originally my first daughter's "baby" room.

The color is a Disney paint color - Christopher Robin's Swing... I remember that for when I move, I love it too :o)

Fun tackle! Sounds like we'll have to get Mario Kart. :)

This is a big tackle. I don't blame you for putting it off. I would too. I know what you mean about jumping on a trampoline after kids. I have those thoughts just after jumping "like a bunny" around the house with Big Boy.

Hey Cousin Kiki! : )

I had such a great time with you guys this weekend. I'm glad I showed up in time for the completion of the new trampoline! I'm sure the girls are going to have a blast with it. Unfortunately, I don't have a Wii, so I haven't been practicing the Mario Kart. So if I am ever to beat the girls at the game, it'll have to require some divine intervention! : ) Hope you have a great week!

Oh what a great Tackle. My girls would so be loving that too. What a special Uncle they have.

I'm so glad your daughter didn't get hurt in that storm.
