Ch-ch-ch-Changes



Thank you so much to my sister Jill for helping me with my blog. I am so challenged when it comes to all this HTML stuff and changing colors, backgrounds, banners, etc. It seems like everyone else can just copy and paste and away they go... but I just don't have enough patience, I guess. Today we revamped my blog with a new background color- how does it look on your screen? Is it too bright? Caterpillar? Pea Pod? Lime? I thought it was "Kang Kiaw Waan" on Jill's screen (Jamie and Lindy will understand that Thai reference) but on my screen it's more of a pea pod. I think I like it. I hope it doesn't look neon on your computer.

The new photos on the banner bring us up to date. It's about time! The old ones were put on there in November 2006, I can't believe it's been so long. I stopped looking at them, I guess. We're definitely NOT in Australia anymore, Ashley is not 6 months old... it was time to move on. What do you think? I like the Chocolate Marble Pumpkin cake photo. It looks so delicious, doesn't it? Jill was laughing as we put it on the banner and I was drooling just looking at it. Is it sad that I have pumpkin cake on my banner? It certainly tells something about me, doesn't it? I have an addiction. I also love the family 5K photo with my adorable kids and hubby (I said that word just to bug Jill). The mountain is the back side of Mount Timpanogos from Bridal Veil Falls- I think it's gorgeous. This banner is much more 2008 isn't it?



I am sending out a big Congratulations tonight for Luke and Emrie (Jared's cousin and his wife) who just found out that they have once again been chosen by a sweet mother to receive a brand new baby into their home. They have been trying to adopt their second child for a long time now and will be blessed with a new baby girl sometime near July 11th. We are so happy for your family!

The green is awesome and I would agree with 'pea pod' very nice. I love the new banner, your family is so cute, the cake is 'drool-worthy' and I certainly miss those mountains, they are home to me.
Congrats to Jared's cousin, that is exciting they will have a new baby in their family!

The new blog look is fun. I like the green. It feels very summery. I need some lessons on making headers. Yours looks great and Jill's are always so fun. I wish I was in your neck of the woods so she could hop over and give me blog help.

I love the new blog color. It looks so fresh...it is a great color of green. That picture of the mountains is beautiful. Makes me homesick, but in a good way. =D

I love the recipe blog that you added on your sidebar. When are you going to give us the secret recipe to pumpkin curry burgers...

Jill said...

I love this color green! I'm glad my remedial banner-making skills were of use to you, I seriously feared I was making things worse for awhile there.

I do NOT understand your love of pumpkin, but I think it's cute that you love it so much.

I love the green color--it compliments your banner perfectly. Now I'm hungry for green curry :)

Love the redesign. Color works well and banner is perfect.

I think I was once at that Dino museum many moons ago. Every area should have one of those - so fun for the kids!

I love pumpkin pie or anything dessert...so I do understand. I love love love love love the green...it is very nice and the new banner too! Miss the opera house though....oh well life goes on right? oh my...way to go...I always thought they said way you go.....I HAVE it engraved on my mind since that movie, and officer and a gentleman, when the girl tells the main girl....way to go...I guess.... on picking up her new prince.
