Carnivals

I have come to a very difficult decision. Vlogemotions and Oldies but Goodies are discontinued until further notice. We have many things going on at the current time, and without proper participation have decided to cease these carnivals temporarily.

We do hope to bring them back in the future as we believe them to be very fun and exciting, not to mention a great way to communicate better with your readers.

If you liked these carnivals and would like to see them again sooner than later please leave us a comment or email and let us know.

Thanks to all of you for playing along. We have enjoyed your participation more than you know.

Love and Prayers,

Vlogemotions



Sorry this is posting so late, but things have been so crazy around here. The same reason why I am taking my first ever week off. Not to worry though as I will have a post next week.

On another note, if the participation for Oldies but Goodies doesnt go up then next week will be the last week of that carnival. So if you enjoy this fun and easy carnival let me know and help get the word out so it can continue.

For those of you first time vloggers, here are the rules:

1. Post the Vlogemotions button above to the top of your post. You can grab the code from the left sidebar.

2. Post your vlog (video blog) and share the strongest emotion that you felt during the week. Or whatever the theme is for that week.

3. Then click on "click here to see instructions and get the code"

4. Copy the code from the orange box, and paste it into your post. Thats it!

5. Then link up from your own blog!

6. Visit the other vloggers and LEAVE NICE COMMENTS!

7. Have fun this blog hop is a BLAST
!!!


Love and Prayers,

Oldies... but Goodies!

Fort Thompson


This is a video post that was to announce the winners of a giveaway. The video is to priceless not to share again here.

***********************************

Please play close attention in this video to my son and daughter. I normally wouldn't give you a look into such things, however I want you to see Fort Thompson for how it is everyday. My son says in the beginning that he just poo pooed, and my daughter is making sure by holding her nose that I know about it. I normally would have edited this out and just shown the announcements of the winners, however I thought this would add some additional humor to your day. I had much difficulty trying to keep my composure through the entire thing. Also pay attention to my daughter at the end who chooses to throw in a few modeling poses of her own. And now for your WINNERS!!!!




Want to play along with Oldies... but Goodies? Its simple, here's how:

1. Post the Oldies but Goodies button to your post.

2. Copy an old post that you would like to share again.

3. Paste it into the new post and link up.

4. Then click "this to get the code", and copy the code in the orange box. Then paste this code into the bottom of your post. That's it! Then you can link up right there on your own blog. That's it! Too easy
!


This is a super fun carnival and it so easy to do. It gives us the chance to read new things on your blog that we might have missed, or just never saw because we didn't follow your blog at the time.

So lets catch up! Join in the fun with Oldies... but Goodies!

Oldies... but Goodies!

Fort Thompson


Sorry this post is coming so late in the day, but its been a crazy one.

This Oldie but Goodie comes to you from Taylor's Blog. She wanted to share one with you in this carnival. Its her favorite post. Picture overload warning here for sure, but so worth it if you ask me.


As a special surprise for getting the Core Values Team of the Month Award daddy took us to see the fire station!! It was so much fun as we watched the ladder on the truck go high high into the sky. We also got to spray water at targets right out of the real fire hoses. It was kinda strong and so we got some help holding it from the fireman. Then we got to go inside the truck and look around, everything we did was soooo much fun. I have just enjoyed soccer so much this season. Lots of my friends from last year were on my team again and we won lots of games. Not only did we get to go to the Fire Station, but we get to go to Chuck E. Cheese soon too for our party! I cant wait for that.
Here are some pictures of me and my friends at the fire station. I hope you like them.
