NEW BLOG!!!

OK EVERYONE!!

I now have a new blog with my other gmail account (for the time being!) :)  You will find it at:

http://ohanaisfamily.blogspot.com

For those of you who follow me on your blog--please change my address so you aren't left behind!

For those of you who receive my posts by email, I will be transferring your emails over to my new one ASAP but there are a bunch of new posts over at the new blog so I would love it if you hopped over there by clicking HERE if you'd like to catch up on the latest in our family!

I am just about caught up--I think there are about 15 new posts done! :) Whew!  :)

(Thanks all for your ideas of what to do in this little crisis--I decided that since I already had another gmail account...this would be easiest for the time being because I was just so anxious to get up the content!!) :)

Too full!!

So...I have like 20 posts (literally) I'm behind on!  Things that have happened since the end of January...but that also means that I have been contiually busy for that long and just haven't had the time to blog... boo!  I hate that vicious cycle! :)

However, a couple weeks ago I sat down to blog and I found out that I have reached my limit on picture space on blogger!!!!  :(  I was so motivated to blog and then I couldn't!  How annoying!!! :)  So, I went through my options and decided that I am going to export my blog over to a wordpress blog to keep it going.  So..for now..that is under construction.  But I will post the link here  ASAP.  and then I hope that you all will continue to follow me over there. I'm hoping it will be up this weekend.  We shall see.

Has anyone else run into picture storage problems with their blog already?  What have you done about it? 
(I have thought about a new blog, exporting and deleting and starting over, etc.)  Just wondered!

Couple of new posts!

Blogging is one of my favorite things to do...but with a 2 year old and a 6 month old...I just have the hardest time finding time and energy to do it!

And Although, I can't promise anything--I will try my hardest to blog at least once a week!  (however, it will be even more difficult this month because by the end of this month, we will be moving in with my parents.)

Enjoy the 2 posts I got done tonight! :)  Comments always motivate me to keep blogging! ;)

Multiple Posts

Okay...whew!  Just wrote about 5 new posts!  (I haven't blogged for almost a month now!  oops!) :) 

Don't miss out!  Some fun pictures to see for sure!

AND...I have one more exciting post to catch up on -- our unexpected trip to Disneyland! :)  (But it is so late tonight I'll have to do it later!)

Good night!

New Blog!

Yes, the blog has a new look!  I was ready for a change.  I'm not sure what I think about the header having  so many pictures...but I'm sure it won't be the same header for long! :)  You know me! :)

My very FAVORITE aspect about this blog now, however, is the link bar just under my header.  The links will take you directly to Kamryn's blog, Kyler's blog, Ryan's design blog, my blog of scrapbook pages, and a page all about our family.  This is for your convenience and enjoyment...so I hope you take advantage of it! :)

And...remember...as always... I LOVE COMMENTS! :)

Another day passes...

with no blog update!  I can't let it happen...but it is already 11:00 and little Kyler will be up again to eat before I know it!  SO...all I can do tonight is let everyone know that there are a BUNCH of posts with very fun pictures coming soon!!!!  

Love ya!!

Why do I do this to myself?!

Both kids are sleeping. Ryan is at work. I had a hard time waking up this morning.  My patience is draining... I should be sleeping. I should be sleeping.  I should be sleeping.

But no, I'm blogging and scrapbooking and picture organizing!

And I ask, why do I do this to myself?!  

But the answer is--I don't enjoy sleeping like I enjoy "creating"!  

My physical body is the reason I need sleep---but my spirit and emotional self just won't have it!

Where is the balance (and the sanity)?! :)

Multiple posts

5 posts today!! (6 including this one!)

*Parents out of town last week
*Roomie Get together
*Happy!
*Easter 2010
*And the verdict is...

It feels so good to be catching up! Sorry I've been occupied for a while and now will be again as pregnancy comes to an end! :) Enjoy!

Multiple posts---

Posted 2 posts today---hopefully there will be even more! (lots to catch up on!) :) 

However, I will have to postpone them a little more now because I hear Kamryn waking up from her nap!

Enjoy! :)

New Blog Header

As many of you have probably noticed, I now have an interactive banner as my header.  Ryan and I found this program called Bannersnack that allows you to easily make flash banners/slideshows and then post them.  We got some free points to use for the next few months, so I'm playing with it!

It's been fun to create different things and see what is possible!  I'm flabbergasted at the power that is available with photoshop and flash as well as other adobe applications! :)  It's been fun to learn how to use them more effectively...but I still have LOTS to learn! :)

Just so you know...if you click on Kamryn's picture or the baby's picture you can easily get to their blogs. (nothing on baby's blog yet, since he isn't even here yet!) :)  I'm going to try to be better at posting on both of their blogs.  I'm hoping someday they will be able to use them themselves and start "journaling" early on in life!  Not a bad habit to get into!

Anyway, watch for other banners and interactive things posted on the blog!  Let me know what you think! :)

~~New Blog~~

I have been having a hard time getting to my blog to post and to report on life recently...partly because of time .... and partly because I didn't LOVE my blog...

But now I do!

I found this scrapbook kit for free online and it just speaks to my heart! I think I'll open my blog everyday now, just to smile (and hopefully to post...but we'll see!) :)

Hope you like it!

Aloha!

New Fun Blog

So I have been working on this blog background and the pictures for a while now and Ryan and I FINALLY got them all up. I'm pleased with how it all turned out! :)

The pictures were our family pictures we took a little over a month ago. I finally got the printouts a couple days ago and I am SO excited to put them on my wall! :) A guy in Pleasant Grove, Scott Hancock, took them and I think he did a great job! Kinda expensive...probably won't do it again for a long time! But I was anxious to do pictures before I was pregnant again...we BARELY made it! :)

Anyway, I'm just so excited about my blog...I had to post about it! :) Hope everyone is well! Thanks for visiting! :)

Blogger's dream come true!

Do you ever wish your internet could be THAT much faster?!! So that uploading pictures and especially videos onto your blog could be THAT much easier?!?!

Well, it has happened for me! And It is WONDERFUL!! It takes like 5 seconds to upload 5 pictures...not 5 minutes anymore!! I used to sit and write the whole post while the pictures were uploading and I would beat the pictures. Now I can't type more than 2 words before the pictures are uploaded! :)

Our complex has spent the past 3 months wiring for a new internet company in all the buildings and we just got hooked up to it this last week. It is SO SO SO fast to post now! :) I'm SO SO SO excited!! (Maybe this will mean that I'll post more often!!?!? :) haha...don't hold your breath!) :)

New Posts!

I posted 5 new posts yesterday! One has the funnest video in it! So don't miss them all!! :)

(I know 5 is a lot...I had to catch up!!) :)

Multiple Posts today!!

If you have time...look through the next 4 posts! All brand new...just for you!! :)

Fast or Famine Blogger

So, I realized yesterday as I was making a list of all the things I wanted to blog about that I am really good at blogging tons and then not blogging for a while right now. Life is just proving to be providing only THAT much time to blog! So...make sure you read like the last 5 posts if you want to know what's going on in our lives!! :)

Happy Reading!! :)

I want to blog!

So...ever since I started student teaching (3 weeks ago...) I have been behind on checking and posting! :( BUT then I found some time to check blogs...and then I started feeling sad that mine doesn't look so cute, and doesn't have fun news on it! I don't have time to post about the big girl Kamryn is being and about everything she does now... :(

But thank you for keeping all of your blogs up and I will get to them and read them all in time! :) I promise!

And just to help myself feel better---here's some fun, recent, cute pictures from our lives right now. (with NOTHING about Student teaching in this post!) :) yay! :)

My parents still have their Christmas tree up---Kamryn loves the lights! :)














Kamryn's favorite toys these days are Daddy's toys! The Wii remote, the computer and the VERY favorite is the computer mouse!






















Kamryn's first cracker! She loved it!














Eating lots more solid foods now! (And making messes all of the time!!) :)














Kamryn loves her daddy! :)














Aunt Kelsey bought Kamryn a flower headband! We love it! :)



















And Uncle Eric left on his mission this last week. It was a bittersweet day...but he is now serving the Lord in Brazil and we are all very proud of him!

I love this picture! :)



















And the last exciting thing happening in our lives lately was Ryan and I spent a wonderful night at the Anniversary Inn in Salt Lake. We've had a gift certificate since not this last Christmas but the one BEFORE THAT that we haven't used! So we scheduled to stay last Friday (the 16th). It was wonderful. My family watched Kamryn and we got to have a night to ourselves. We stayed in the Romeo and Juliet suite. It was very elegant and had a wonderful BIG bathtub! :) And the Big Flat Screen TV with surround sound...it was so relaxing and wonderful! :)





















The bed was big and LOTS of pillows! :) yay! (not the comfiest thing ever though!) :) oh well!















We've now stayed in two more elegant rooms at the Anniversary Inn...next time we're planning on staying in a more "adventurous" room! :) We'll see! :)

Blog under construction!

So, I'm going to keep posting for the next little bit...but my blog is somewhat under construction as you can tell! :)

We're doing some major ... "re-decorating" of our blog page! Hopefully "renovations" are done soon!!

Happy Blogging!

I miss my blog!

I have been checking blogs all week ... but just realized that I never had enough time to actually post! Sad day! How did I go a whole week??!


WELL.... I'm back! And I'll post more about our crazy week later! :)
