Ok- I think we have some of the bugs worked out, knock on wood. Since it took so long and I am lazy I will save my project for this coming Tuesday. It has been a long week around here. I have been sick and then found out it was strep throat so that kept me down a couple days- fun fun. Jed got his temp license finally and is still waiting to test. We are still job hunting...
Jared has joined the school orchestra and is learning to play the cello which he is enjoying. I love seeing him carry around an instrument that is his size-too funny! Isaac tells me he wants to learn how to play the accordion--we'll wait on that one. I haven't seen any rentals around. :)
On another note- Go Sarah P! I don't care for Mc Cain. But us Alaska girls have to stick together. She was our mayor when we lived in Ak, and I appreciated her spunkiness. This is one crazy election!

Creative Round-Up
There were two submissions this week. the first is from Melanie who made the "bag in a box" above. The second is an altered cookie jar from Dani. Notice the cute recipe holder on the side. I like the colors that you both used. Thanks for the inspiration! Although I will add this; do we really need something to make treats more alluring and attractive Dani? :)

Graduation Day
We have been waiting for this day for years. Although Jed offically graduated in June and already has his diploma, yesterday made it feel more real. Thanks to all of you who came to support us, we love you!

Sit-ups
So I walked into the room today and Isaac was sitting on Jared's feet while he was doing sit-ups. They were "training" for future Olympics. I flashed back to my own childhood self running sprint races in the driveway and perfecting my balance beam routine on the edge of the living room rug. I love the Olympics! I always have. When I was on a mission in Switzerland I served in Lausanne and was able to visit the Olympic Museum- so cool. It has been on my life list to attend an Olympics but have not yet. But I will! Maybe London? Who wants to come?

Pioneer Mayhem
I know, I know I post way too much about Claire. but check out this video we took on Pioneer Day of her. We were doing fireworks and she loved it. Especially the pop-its. Everytime they would pop she would bust out laughing- it was hilarious.

Nicknames
How can one little baby girl have so many nicknames? Last night Jed was getting Claire out of the highchair and calling her: " cutie patootie." (sp?) I never imagined those words ever leaving his lips let alone him calling his daughter that after feeding her a snack pack of oreos that he brought home from work just for her. sigh. Other nicknames include; sugar, "purty"girl, Claire bear, sweetie pie, sister, sissy,bucky, fattie, little girl, piggy, all used by different people. Need I say more? She is one loved little girl.Wednesday, July 23, 2008

This is a photo I took of Isaac and edited it in photoshop and made it into an invitation for his baptism. Jennifer Sprague has a great photo blog that features a photoshop friday which a few fridays ago had a great tutorial for adding "shazam" to just about any photo. Check it out: http://spraguelab.squarespace.com/ Remember that you can click on the photo to view it larger. Now it's your turn!

Summer Fun
Last month I was "tagged" to list our family summer goals. My friend Hannah was tagged too and one of her goals was: "Have fun, don't die." I pretty much adopted that as our main goal this summer, with all of the transition we are taking things day by day pretty much. I thought I would post some photos to show how we are accomplishing this goal. Thanks for the inspiration Hannah!
