Voice Blog

Someone asked how to use the voice blog, so I figured I'd better post directions. You have to go to my main blog page or one of the posts (you won't be able to see it if you just read the post in an email if you get a subscription to my blog). In the upper right corner under the LO slide, you will see the Snapvine Voice Blog widget (has a picture of me on it). Click on it to activate it, then click on the play button to hear the most recent recording. You can go to other recordings by pressing the forward and rewind buttons--it will show you the date of the recording just above the play button. If anyone else has problems, or if it's just not working, let me know and I will just do away with it.

Christmas 2007

I added a voice blog to go along with the pics, so press play on the voice blog widget and listen as you view these pics:

New feature on the blog sidebar

I added a voice blog widget to the sidebar--if you get the automatic email updates from my blog, you will have to come and see the actual blog to see it. I will add voice messages from time to time and I think you can add voice comments back to me. Let me know what you think about it.

Kiki's family's trip to Louisiana

Here are some of my favorite pics from the past week; make sure you listen to my voice blog to hear about all the happenings (BTW, you can turn off the song on the picture slide, if you'd like--just press the little sound icon on the bottom of the snowman):

The Santa pic with all three kids was taken by the professional at the mall--I scanned it.

Here's that hilarious video of Carma opening her princess dress-up kit:

1st week of December

Here's our happenings this past week:

Pics from the game I watched at my friends' house last Sat. (Jared was home sick):

My brother, Ben, and our friend, Greg:

Belle (niece) and me:
Jared caught a snapper turtle while I was still in Utah (scared him pretty good when he picked it up, as he didn'tknow it was a snapper, ha ha! Wish I could have seen that!). He was keeping it in the back of his truck and feeding it but decided to put it the pond next door:

This was hanging over the fireplace when I got home Wed. morning from spending the night at Maw-maw's--I have a very sweet hubby!:

Jared came home the other night with a Christmas tree. A real one! It's really pretty and full, ~5.5 feet tall:

Here's my annual pic of Chloe checking out the tree. With the artificial tree we used to have, she would get up in it and climb the branches. This one's too full for her to get in just yet but I'm sure she will find a way to get up in there somehow:

2nd week in Utah

I had a great time spending a few days with Kiki and her kids last week. Judson is growing up so fast and Carma really could not be any sweeter. I just wish it would have snowed while I was there. At least it actually feels like December there, though!

Tuesday night, we had a sisters' night at Winger's. We had so much fun together!!!:Juddy showing off a little dollar store gift I got him:
Carma is ALL GIRL!!! Here she is wearing the dollar store jewelry set I gave her and playing with her Cinderella phone. How cute is that?!:
Here's a video of a conversation I had with Carma about bananas:

And this one's for Jared:

I got home late Friday night, slept in a little on Saturday, unpacked a little, and spent over 7 hours at a friend's house watching the LSU game (beat Tenn. in the SEC championship, YAY!), playing Wii, and watching parts of other football games (getting my wish of West Virginia and Missouri losing). I had a hard time getting up for church this morning but couldn't get to sleep when I tried to take a nap when I got home because I was on pins and needles, wondering if LSU would be voted into the national championship game. Well, they were! WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO! Tigers in the big game on Jan. 7! Should be a great game and I just can't wait to see it!

Lots of great stuff happening between now and then, though. My sister, Kiki and her family are flying here on the 11th! Better get my shopping done! I still haven't gotten my Christmas decorations out of the attic--want to clean my house first but haven't gotten around to doing that yet. Temps in the upper 70's and humidity in the upper 60's doesn't really help me get in the Christmas spirit. Hoping to get LOTS done tomorrow, though. Better get to bed so I can get up at a decent hour (considerig it's 1:45 here! :) Happy Holidays, y'all!
