I'm a facebooker now.

(This is a recent photo taken over Thanksgiving of my whole family)

I've neglected you. I'm sorry. Not that I have many followers or readers, but to those of you who do comment or look at my blog now and then, I am sorry. See, the problem is that I have discovered how much easier it is to use facebook. I know, I know, I never thought of myself as a "facebooker". I always saw it as a "single" and "young" thing to do and kind of a waste of time mostly. But my opinion has changed. My main reason for blogging was to keep in touch with my family and friends who I can't be near anymore, and I do that mostly through pictures. Well, you all know how difficult it is to upload pictures to blogger...you have to resize them, then post only 5 at a time, and then rearrange them how you want which is most annoying. I just found that with facebook I can skip all those steps. I can download as many as I want straight from my computer and rearrange them and put captions on them easy, and NO resizing. It's just easier. So...I will try to keep up with my blog on the "happenings" of my life (since I don't like the "status" feature on facebook), and add a picture or two here and there, but if you're more interested in pictures then add me as a friend on facebook. Ok? Ok. That's settled.

I totally understand. That's why it took me so long to get a blog. Facebook is just so easy. I love that you can just send a quick note of facebook. Not so much on a blog.

When I post pictures on my blog, I can upload a lot at a time and I don't ever have to resize. I have the updated version which I think you can switch to in your settings. Anyway, it still takes forever to upload pictures, but not as difficult as only posting five and needing to resize them. Just sayin'.

Too bad. I stopped using FB months ago.

I have to guiltily agree that it is also the reason I haven't blogged as much. Facebook is quite easier! ;)

Amber- you've gone blonde! I had to enlarge that picture because I was like- where's Amber?! Anyway, you look good and your little girl is so big. I only remember her as a baby and toddler so it's amazing to me to see a pic of her so big!
I'm really interested in your posts about the Real Food book, I'd definitely like to read that!
How is Provo? How did it feel moving from here to there? We might be moving later this year so I'm just getting different opinions since it's been over 10 years since we've lived in UT.

I also meant to say- I don't have to resize pictures either, or rearrange them on blogger, I wonder why yours is like that. I haven't started on Facebook for several reasons, but yesterday I watched the movie "The Social Network" and now I definitely never will! That is one company whose bottom line I don't want to be helping out.
I look forward to more of your food book posts!

Just a little weekend get-a-way...

in P U E R T O R I C O !!! So Rick (along with his other teammates) received a reward trip from work to vacation in Puerto Rico for 4 days! Since I constitute his other half I got to cash in on the reward. So we spent a 4-day weekend get-a-way at a huge resort on the coast of Puerto Rico without the kiddos (thanks mom for flying in to care for them while we were away:). It was fantastic! We stayed at El Conquistador Resort , which was situated on a sloping hill facing the beautiful Caribbean ocean. Our room was right there in the middle (2nd floor) and our balcony opened up to a view of the blue blue sea. That little island you see out there in the distance is Palomino Island . That's where the beach was located and we had to ride the ferry out there to play in the sand and get some sun (unless we wanted to lounge around the pool, but I'm more for the authentic beach feel). Approaching Palomino Island on the ferry. Cute ain't it? We took the El Yunque Rain Forest tou...

I'm Tired

This is the theme of today. (And this picture describes perfectly how I feel.) Not only is Sawyer still waking up ever couple hours in the night, but Chase had the stomach flu last night and was throwing up big time. I know I got up with him at least 3 separate times when he had to puke. I know what you're thinking, where is Rick? Well, he hurt his back a few days ago and hasn't been able to get around very well, let alone bend over a puking child, so he wasn't able to help. I seriously felt like I was going between nursing baby and puking child all night long. And then Rick wakes up at 5:30 to get ready for school just after I got the baby to sleep and wakes him up! Ahhh! I didn't know whether to scream or just start crying. So he takes Sawyer upstairs and puts him in the swing (which always puts him out) and then Chase comes and crawls in bed with me and then Amelie wakes up because she can hear movement in the house and is upset that Chase isn't in his be...

Chase said the funniest thing...

Chase just said the funniest thing, so I had to write it down somewhere. He's watching an old Looney Tunes DVD that we checked out from the library. You know, the classic Bugs Bunny, and Tweety Bird and stuff. Anyway, there's a part on there where this bad guy is trying to kill Bugs Bunny and he keeps saying "shut up". Rick and I picked up on this and looked at each other, not sure whether to turn it off or let it go. So Rick decides to do the following. He says, "Hey Chase, I don't like this movie. They're saying bad things. How about we watch a different one. Like Transformers (the cartoon version)." Chase's response: "Daddy, how about you go work in your car if you don't like this movie so I can stay in here and watch it." Hahahaha! I'm cracking up. Rick and I looked at each other and figured that was a pretty good answer.
