Easter (kind-of)

For our family we didn't really do much for Easter yesterday b/c my father-in-law was out of town, so we are doing our big thingy next week. Also, did it seem to come up too soon for everyone else, too? Well, anyways, here is Abby in one of her Easter dresses (My mother-in-law loves to get my kids the cutest clothes for Easter, and I for one and grateful that she has a weakness for adorable dresses and wound up buying 3 for Abby this year, but I am paying for one of them, and she got Lucas an adorable outfit) and Lucas in his outfit! Also, Abby got a bath disney princess play set that came with bath crayons, I will let you see for yourself what she did with them!

I need tips and help!!!

Okay, I just can't do it, where do you people get all of your cute templates and things like playlists and video editing stuff?! I swear I have tried to find stuff, but I also don't have money, is this only stuff that you can get for free? Or do you guys know of secret stuff that I can find that is free? Please, I will take any help I can get! I really was excited about putting a music player on there so that you all could hear my new favorite song- if you do want to hear it, I suppose you could find it- it is called "Who Wants to Live Forever" by a group called Breaking Benjamin and is on an album called something like "A Tribute to Queen", yes, it is a re-make of a Queen song, but is completely awesome!!! It reminds me of Twilight, I feel like it should be on the movie soundtrack! At any rate, I need help, and I would love for you guys to hear my new favorite song, so find it and check it out!!! Thanks ahead of time for all of the help! Love you all!

172nd Ward Reunion

Just a quick note to my fellow BYU 172nd ward members that there is a reunion at my house on Saturday March 15 at 5:00. My address is 1555 S 30 E in Payson, hope to see you all there!!!

MTC

Well, yesterday I had the pleasure of taking my parents to the MTC where they will be for the next week and a half before leaving on their mission for Tokyo! We are so excited for them and for the people in my family who want to know, we have started a blog for them! It is hartzellline.bloggspot.com for those of you who want to keep up with their adventures! We will admit, we are jealous and would love to be able to go and visit them, but we have no dinero (or should I sayYen)! We wish them all the luck and Love in the world and know that they will have a wonderful time!

SKYPE

Okay, skype is an online chat/video conferencing thingy where you can actually talk to people, or IM them as well as talk with your camera on. I know, this is nothing totally new or anything, but I just acquired an internet camera thingy and I am excited to talk to people with it. If you don't have a camera, that is all good, we can still just talk if you have a microphone and speakers! It is rather like a phone call, but the sound quality isn't nearly as good and there are no annoying long distance charges! This is how I intend to converse with my parents and have them see the kids while they are on their mission. At any rate, I just signed up on it as gingerbubbles, so anyone who wants to chat with me, just add me to your contacts and we will chat!

Dragon Cake!!!

Shawn and I spent probably 5 or so hours making this "japanese" dragon for my parents mission farewell that was today, so I thought I would share some pictures of it!!!

Just some cute pictures I had to put on

The kids were having fun playing in the snow the other day, so I took this picture. The one of Abby was just too cute, we aren't the cowboy type, but how cute is she in that hat?!!!

Fun times in February

Okay, I thought it was time I did some catching up, so here goes.
We got a ton of snow dumped on us on Valentines day, so I thought I would post a picture of me with my five foot high drift that I created while shoveling off our driveway.







Then we we went to the Children's museum in Salt Lake on Saturday and had a blast . . . as you can clearly see here!
