Missy's Bridal Shower

I told Missy that I wouldn't post any of the pictures that I took of her at her bridal shower, but I think the pictures are cute. I'm sorry Missy. I'm only posting the pictures that I think everyone looks good in. I don't want anyone to feel embarrassed. If anyone is upset about their pictures on here, just let me know and I will remove them as quickly as possible.

At my bridal shower (Missy hosted) we played a game where they asked Roger a bunch of questions about himself, then they ask me those questions and I'm suppossed to guess how Roger answered the questions. Everytime you get a question wrong, you have to put a piece of bubble gum in your mouth (the big square kind, not just a small piece). I didn't get any of them right. I had a ton of gum in my mouth. I could hardly talk. It was uncomfortable and not my favorite game. It's funny now, but when we played the game I wasn't very happy about it. I think I was just really embarrassed because I looked like a fool standing in front of everybody with my mouth too full of gum, barely able to talk, and not knowing the answers.

We played this game at Missy's bridal shower. Missy did a lot better than me. She was worried because I was the one thinking up the questions to ask her, soon to be husband, Mikal. I was nice, I asked a lot of questions that I thought she would know the answers to. She did a lot better than me at that game. She still ended up with quite a few pieces of gum in her mouth. When she got too much gum in her mouthy, Kari offered to put gum in her mouth when Missy got it wrong. Because Kari wanted some gum also. Where was Kari at my bridal shower! I really could have used the help! After the game Kari and Missy had a bubble blowing contest. For anyone that doesn't know, Kari and Missy are my sisters. Here are the pictures.

I think Missy won.

I took a few pictures of Jamie and Janae, but when I uploaded my pictures I noticed that all of the pictures I took were not on the camera any more. Janae and Jamie asked to look at my camera after I had taken their pictures. They were talking about deleting the ones they didn't like, but I thought they were joking. Did you guys delete you pictures or am I just forgetful. I really thought I took more pictures of you two. Janae and Jamie are my friends from highschool.

This is Jamie, Janae, and baby Regan.

I tried to fix this picture of Alissa and make it look really cool, but it didn't work out very well. I made the background behind Alissa all black (that worked well), but she had chocolate all around her mouth and I tried to fix it so you couldn't see it (I don't think that worked well). I took this picture while we were at the bridal shower. There is a lot of pink around her eyes, because she got make up for her birthday and she put a lot on so she would be pretty for the bridal shower. Here is a picture of Shannon with chocolate in her mouth. Shannon was Missy's best friend when they were younger. I ended up with a lot of pictures of Shannon. Shannon if you want me to take your pictures off of here, I will.
We played a game where you hold a paper over your head and draw a picture of what the bride will look like on her wedding day. That was a funny game. I had never heard of this game before, but I think it was my favorite.

Here's Jamie

Shannon again (she is making silly faces in most of the pictures). Your funny Shannon.

Scrapbook Pages From Alissa's Birthday

I don't have photo shop or anything like that. I was looking online and found three different programs that offer free trials. The free trial is 30 days. So I'm using the 30 day free trial. I'm doing as much scrapbooking as I can before my 30 days is up. I have 16 days left. After this I will try another program for 30 days. So a lot of my post will be scrapbooking pages.
Here are some more pages of Alissa's Birthday.

It's been a long time

It has been a long time since I've posted anything. I've just been a little moody and didn't feel like posting anything. I'm feeling normal and like myself again. So I will, hopefully, post a little more often. I've been working on some scrapbooking and decided to use that to update you on how we are doing.

Parker is finally potty trained!!!!!!! I thought it would never happen. He really did not want to use the toilet. We tried a lot of different things to get him excited about it, but nothing ever worked. I don't really know how we did it, but Parker finally decided that he wanted to be a big boy and use the toilet! I'm so happy!

Brinley is potty trainig also. I have not tried too hard with her, because I was so focused on getting Parker potty trained. Now I can work on getting Brinley potty trained. I think it will be a lot easier to convince Brinley that using the toilet is great. Here is a scrapbook page of Brinley potty training.

I didn't want to take Parker to church in his underpants, because I didn't want him to have an accident, so Alissa went to church with her friend. This page is of Alissa waiting for her ride to come and take her to church. She was looking so pretty and being so cute taking care of her little baby. She is a good little mommy.

This is Parker on that same morning, just playing with his ball. He didn't want me to take his picture, so he kept trying to move the ball in front of his face before I took the picture.

We went to Lagoon last week. it was a lot of fun. I wrote that we stopprd at laptop computers on our way. I need to fix that to say PC Laptops.

At Lagoon.


There are more lagoon pictures, I just haven't finished making the pages. I will post them when I'm done. The next pages are from Alissa's Birthday. I have a lot more pictures from that too. I will post those when they are finished also. I like to decorate the house with a lot of balloons. I stay up late the night before so when the kids wake up they are surprised. This year Alissa wanted to blow up her own balloons. It was nice to not have to blow up all those balloons.
