Bronson's New Toy

Julie got this new toy for Bronson and I thought it was WAY cool. It has a horn and a rear view mirrior. I think the older boys were more exicted at first than Bronson was (especailly Brittan).

Ode to Brayden

Here are some cute pictures I found of Brayden. He's the 2nd oldest (12) of the five boys.

My Cute Friend

Last night I watched an old friend of mine on the Next Food Network Star. Her name is Kelsey Nixon. She's pretty much amazing. She is a definate over-achiever. I'm amazed at all she's done in such a little time. I wish I could be more like her. She was a student body officer all through jr. high and high school, never got below a 4.0...ya know that kind of thing. Well, I just think she's so cute and I wish her the best.

Check her out Sunday on the Food Network Channel at 8:00pm.

(She the spunky little blonde)

Go Kelsey!

A Weekend Away

This weekend Les and I went with our friends Johnny & Christy to the Zermatt Hotel in Midway. Our friends had a buy one room get a room free coupon and so it was just over night but it's this really fun hotel/resort. Everything there has a Switzerland feel. The workers are even decked out. I wish I had a picture of them but I don't. I think the first people to settle Midway were from there so its a big thing in that city. They even have Swiss days, anywho, the hotel was gorgeous. I thought I'd post some pictures.

Outside of the hotel rings the sounds of Switzerland. The music was very upbeat (lots of accordians) and if I knew how to do a traditional Switzerland dance I would have.

This is probably one of the nicer hotels that I've been to. They have everything. They have this really could Wellness Center that had a steam room that was so cool. It's like a grato (spelling?)

Here's a picture of their "relaxtion room". You can just go hang out and sit by the fire.

Here's a picture of our room. It was really nice EXCEPT that they put Les and I in an ajoining room (and not connected to our friends I might add). We could hear everything that was going on in the room next to ours. The door allowed every sound to get through and lucky us the people in that room had like 3 or 4 kids who yelled and screamed the whole time we were in our room. Then during the night I think I got woken up 5 or 6 times by a baby crying and the parents didn't seem to concerned they just let it cry. I timed it once and the baby cried constantly for 25 mins. Needless to say, I wasn't very relaxed after our weekend get away.

Sunday morning Les, Johnny & Christy went golfing while I just headed home. I'm not down with golfing (cuz i suck) and I didn't feel like hanging out in a golf cart all day in 90 degree weather. Overall, it was a fun weekend. I love getting together with our friends but I could have done without the screaming baby. I went to get away from children but they just seem to follow me wherever I go!

Help Needed

Okay so I've been doing these scrapbook pages in Publisher but I can't ever get them to print out right. Is there an online place where I can create the same things? Michelle this is mostly for you. Where do you do your cute scrapbook pages? I'm looking for a place where I can use all my digital scrapbooking stuff to create pages and if I wanted to be able to print them out. Does anyone know of a place? Does shutterfly do this? Let me know if any of you have suggestions...in the mean time here are the lastest pages I've created....sorry for the blurriness (another downside to doing it in Publisher) I swear once the summer starts I'll have more pictures to post besides Bronson....he's just so cute!

Julie and I were admiring how much Bronson has changed in just a year so I went ahead and made this. The earlier pictures he's so tiny you can't really tell just how small he is. The tubes in his mouth and nose are just little and he makes them look big. well, I promise to share the love on my blog with my "other" nephews here in the near future.

Who's got talent?

Well, I love to mess around on the computer and put off the things I need to be doing but this time it was for a good cause. I got the card making bug and so I went ahead and made an announcement card for Marcia....We've only got like two months left so I wanted to be prepared...Here are some of her options. I have more but I don't want to ruin the surprise for when she sends them out, but you do, however, get a sneak peak. Oh, p.s. I totally just used some random baby pictures off the internet to fill in the blanks where little Ever's picture will go, so don't mind pictures....It's just to get a feel of what it will look like.




I know the font is a little fuzzy but I had to convert them from Publisher to a jpeg...(sigh) I know I rock...it's hard when you're this good. Let me know which one you like the best
