A few random photos...





Where am I?

I haven't blogged in awhile and the main reason is because Blogger is driving me crazy!!! I loved Blogger from the start - mostly because it was so simple to use. Now it seems that I have major formatting issues every time I try to write a post. It could be user error...I'm not sure...what I do know is that it took me a month to upload pictures from Brynley's birthday party and now it is taking me hours to format the post.

I don't have HOURS to format posts!! :(
So, I will try to investigate further. If it is me, then I guess I have some more learning ahead of me. However, I've been blogging for three years and have never had as many issues as the last few months. If it is Blogger, then I'm not sure what to do. Try WordPress? Try writing my posts in another program and pasting them into Blogger?

Any thoughts?

Balloon Boy

For Brynley's birthday party, we blew up a lot of balloons and had them scattered across the living room floor. Like over 40 of them! Roman enjoyed crawling through the balloons for several weeks. Just look at the smile on his face!

Sock Hop

On February 18th, we celebrated Brynley's 3rd birthday with a 1950's sock hop. In the weeks leading up to the pary, she was so excited and she asked about her birthday and party every day! Right before her party, I dressed Bryn in her poodle skirt, cat eye sunglasses, and ponytail with a black and white polks dot ribbon in it. She had to go look in the mirror and started running around, dancing, and thanking me for her party. This was before the party even began...haha!

It was a busy day!. There were 11 kids (including my two) and a houseful of adults. The girls all dressed in poodle skirts and cat eye sunglasses. The boys had cool black sunglasses. Traditional diner food was served in diner baskets...hot dogs, sliders, french fries. I made fruity pebble krispie treats, root beer float cookies, confetti popcorn, cake, and actual root beer floats. The day was so warm that the kids actually got to run around outside as well.

Brynley received so many nice gifts and had a blast playing with all the other kids. Without further ado, here are some pics from the party:

I made poodle skirts for all the girls.




Favor bags had 1950's rubber duckies, crazy straws, candy, moon pies, & sunglasses
