This is a test.

How do I go down a line?! I just pushed return, twice. Now I'll do it again. Anything?? What am I doing wrong?!?!?

I still have a blog?!

I thought I had deleted this thing a long time ago. Crazy. I haven't been writing much lately, so I thought I should start blogging again. And HEY! I already have one. Couldn't be easier. I'm also typing on my phone... I don't know how to add pictures or change the color scheme or whatever. So, I'll just type. And you'll love it. So there. Of course now I don't know what to say... I didn't really have an idea going into this. Anywayyyyyyyy... Kids are cool. My husband is in the stupid army. I have a cool group of friends who live in my phone. Pretty good stuff... I'll figure out something else to say another time Thanks for reading

Start it up Again

It's been almost two years since I've kept up with my blog. So I figured I'd start again. It was at one time just family updates and then I threw in some pictures of food. I do still have a family, and I do still love to cook...so we'll see where this goes. I stayed home from church today because my leg and hips are hurting, some weird pregnancy thing. My kids were sooooo sad that they couldn't go, especially Chancellor. It's so wonderful how much she loves going to church. And I don't think that has anything to do with the fact that I am her sunbeam teacher, because she frequently tells me that she doesn't want me to be her teacher and that I should go away. What a lovely girl :) So here we go. My big thing this week is preparing for the talk I'm giving in church next Sunday. Father's Day. The only other time I've given a talk was on Father's Day. But that was about eight years ago. This time I get to include inspiration gathered from the father of my children as well as my own father, and it has to be 15 minutes instead of only 5. I think last time I managed about 2 or 3 minutes. We'll see if I can make it to 10 this time ;) I am also 32 weeks pregnant. And it is getting to be very uncomfortable. Sleeping is getting difficult, I never know what I want to eat, and I exhaust rather easily. But every time I feel that little girl move it is a miraculous confirmation of life, and I LOVE IT!! I can't wait to meet her! :) So I guess that's it for now. I'll figure this blogging thing out sometime... ...they're just cool kids :)

computers are laaame.

tried to post some kid pictures. didn't work. i'm blaming this computer, because it isn't apple. i like apple.
