Easter Sunday

It was a nice sunny day yesterday so we forced the children to pose for a couple pictures. They all looked so cute!

Easter Bunny

On Saturday Dennis took the three oldest children to the park for the city Easter Egg Scramble, Dash, or whatever you want to call it. Santaquin is still small enough that they all brought home a pretty good stash! The Easter Bunny was also there to say hello.

Digital Scrapbooking baby!

Ok, so I don't know how it happened but I have been overtaken by the digital scrapbooking bug! The children gave me a book on how to create calendars and cards on the computer and it came with a link to Adobephotoshop Elements. So, I downloaded the trial version and was so totally overwhelmed with this program that I didn't do much with it until . . . I started looking for backgrounds for this blog. My referals led me to http://www.shabbyprincess.com/ and I saw the free scrapbooking kits. Well, I was hooked! There were so many links out there that I already have a good sized file full of matierials and embellishments that I could never use all of them. I also found some good tutorial links that showed me how to use PSE and I have been having so much fun ever since! It's amazing what you can do! I'm no pro yet. . . but I'm having fun learning!

Flashback Friday Picture

So "Flashback Friday" sounds good so we're going with that. This picture was taken just after Dennis and I were married, which will be 9 years ago on March 18. I don't know why I like this picture because it's a bit goofy! Maybe it's because my eyes are actually open or because Dennis isn't wearing his "picture smile". But for whatever reason, I've always liked it. I'm trying out Photoshop Elements so I've had some fun with it also. It's been a while since it was just the two of us, but I still think we can be goofy and sincerely happy even after 9 years together!

Pets

Here are the non-human members of our family. Sparky our pet Chinchilla. (Not sure how old he is.) Lyza our 6 year old cat, and Higgins our 6 month old Springer Spaniel puppy. What can we say, we're pet people!

Pizza and a Movie

This first one is kind of hard because there is so much to tell, so we're going to limit it to one topic. So for starters lets talk about our most common weekend carry out dinner, Pizza, and then we'll add our latest Movie choice.

So lets start out with our favorite pizza toppings.

• Dennis - pineapple and Canadian bacon



• AnaLee - olives, mushroom and pepperoni



• All three children - cheese

Friday night is typically our movie night and now that we finally have our own town video rental place we like to pick out a couple for the weekend. Usually one for the kids and one for mom and dad after the kids are in bed. Dora is a big hit as well as Scooby Doo for the kids. (We've probably seen them all a couple times.) The last most mentionable movie for mom and dad was probably The Ultimate Gift. Very good and you'll need tissues!! Check it out!
