February Happenings....And blog advice?

Wow--trying out a new system for posting on the blog as soon as I download the pictures. How do you guys do it? I am trying not to fall behind again ;). Does it take you FOREVER to upload videos? I think maybe I will go back to using youtube...

Feb.1st--got to see Mom & Dad for one day at Santa Monica pier during their layover from the Antartica Cruise!!
Feb.4th--CJ bday dinner at Red Robin! He flew in from work in San Fran just in time for his own party! ;0)
Feb.6th--Kennidy's 2nd Piano recital--all 3 songs memorized and performed perfectly! (Far better than her mother ever did!)
Feb.12th--our new favorite FREE attraction here in the O.C.--Irvine Great Balloon ride and Family Ice Skating--balloon goes up 400 feet with views to the ocean! We went with 3 other families from church and between us and all our kids, we nearly sold out the 8pm skate time slot!
Feb.15th--Loved celebrating President's Day off with 20,000 other people at the San Diego Zoo (wish I was joking)! For $5 the kids got to hand-feed giraffes! Look at that long BLACK tongue! It measures almost 2 feet! So glad cousin Jared and his AMAZING wife Amy could join us for some SoCal tourist fun--San Diego Mission was first one established back in 1776!
February--can't even remember the date cuz it was insane, but this is what my friend Heather looked like on the tram after 9 hours at Disneyland with 8 kids under 9 and us two adults--PARTY TIME! ;)
February--Madi started Rec League Basketball with Chris as her coach and 3 good friends on her team!

Good job cathing up Kjersten! It takes too long to upload video on here so I don't do it. There probably is an easier way but I don't know it. We had a blast ballooning and ice skating with you guys!

So fun to catch up on your family! I love all the pictures!

Have you tried Picasa (picasa.google.com) for blogging pictures?

When do we get to see you again? Hope it's soon!

Great job on doing an overall update. Keep up the good work! I like you tube for putting up videos. I have an account and yes it's public for all to see. But nothing weird has happened at all and I like the comments. If you want to see my account go to:
