This is me...is this you??

OK, I finally caved! I'm here...this is me...is this you? Yes, I finally have a blog. Now we'll just see how often I keep up with this. I have to confess I'm already thinking Facebook is a lot easier! But after so many people have told me I need to start a blog, even offered to set it up for me I finally decided to do it myself! I have to admit, I've been talking to myself a lot lately. You see, I don't scrapbook. I haven't for 10 years although I still have paper, stickers and a box of photos in chronilogical order. I refuse to scrapbook! The thought of it makes me crazy! But I still take pictures like I'm a scrapper. I'll take 3 of the same thing because I need an odd number to go on a page. I need 3 pictures of different angles so I can explain what is going on. I need 3 pictures of the day so I can talk my way through whatever activity I'm scrapping about! So now I have moved on from photos and onto talking to myself. If I had a blog I could write "Shopping with Mom" about taking Harrison and Zoe to Sams Club today to Christmas shop with Grandma Dear on the phone for over an hour looking at toys and sheets while she walked around the Sams Club in Utah looking at the same stuff while talking to me on her phone and deciding what to buy for the kids! If I had a blog I could write "I have a confession" about how I actually throw the kids toys away when I find them on the floor. And sometimes it isn't the 10th time I've stepped on it, sometimes it's the 1st time I see it! If I had a blog, I could write "Cereal for dinner...AGAIN" about how I haven't cooked dinner at all for a whole week! So now I can stop talking to myself and actually WRITE! Thanks Sarah, Jessica, Lizzy and Taryn for all the gentle nudging....at least I will have at least ONE entry on this blog!

Confessions of a closet toy tosser....... and a cereal queen. AAAAhhhhh I can't tell you how happy I am to see your beautiful little children on blogspot. I have a feeling this will become a great place for you to "vent" about whatever ails you. i can't wait to go on our girls vacation so we can post the pictures on your blog.
Now, where to go......hmmmmmm.....?

Amy! I have to admit that I do not really like scrapbooking either...but I love to make cards. My sister does digital scrapbooking. She made a book in 1 hour and for $20, came in the mail 5 days later. I'm impressed! I have heard that you can send your blog to a company who will print it in a book for you.

I miss you! I love the picture on the bridge. We are for sure NOT moving to Price, UT...sad to say.

Love you!

Yeah for Amy! I didn´t think that I would get into blogging, but I am addicted! Diego loved the picture of Zoe escaping from the photo shoot! We both agreed that Adeline sure is maturing into a beautiful girl. (Not that she wasn´t adorable before!) Can´t wait to see you in a month. Make sure to save that costume that Harrison wanted Ryan to wear for next Halloween!
