This was my first Smilebox slide show to make and it's only five pages long, and I couldn't figure out how to add pages to last for the entire song. Be sure to listen for the Dixie Chicks when they say "bluebonnets" on the last page of our adventure. (Tip: The last page has a tag that said Adventure 2008.) After that, enjoy the rest of the Chicks' cool tune. If you are an expert at Smilebox, or smart enough to know how to add pages, feel free to leave a comment teaching me your tricks. Thanks!

Those are great pictures. I love how great your family always looks. And you have such a great smile. That really looks like a great place that you found. I had given up on finding a good spot this year but maybe I might have to seek your little spot out and see if I can get a few pics of our family. Hmmm just thinking about the ordeal of getting the kids in and out of the car makes me think that maybe we won't be doing that.

Wow! How beautiful! I would have loved to have snapped some pictures in that field. I also loved the old farm in the background. Those pictures really looked professional. It sure is nice that your kids don't mind all of the photography sessions that you guys have. I love it! My mom was the same way. Always thinking about that "Kodak moment." Great job on the smilebox too! I have never done one of those, but I will have to now.

Gotta love those bluebonnets! We have to set up a time and go this weekend for ours. I have the perfect dress for Simone! Your pictures look great. I would give Kelly's new camera an A+, as well as A++ for your family being photogenic!

Oh, very cute. I didn't know about the bluebonnet thing; it looks like a fun tradition.

Love it! You are making me homesick for Texas. The wildflowers in spring were one of my favorite things about Texas...especially the bluebonnets. Looks like you are taking full advantage of that new camera. And you are already pros. The lighting is perfect!

You did it! That little video scrapbook is darling :)

Those bluebonnet fields remind me of the blueBELL fields in England. They come out in spring also, along with the Oil Seed Rape fields. They are endless fields of brilliant yellow. We have many family photos in both kinds. Ahh, I need to go back to England!!

What a great way to start my day. I love that song and I loved your smile box. Kelly, you looked absolutley beautiful in these pictures as did the entire family. I have to admit that we are not really from Texas because I just could not add another tradition to my life at the moment of taking these blue bonnet pics. I did get Jordan two years ago in them and I do love seeing all the families do it!

Super great pic's. Loving the new camera I see. I had to comment on this one because we saw you guys out on the side of the road that evening. I'm not sure any of those pictures made the slideshow, but it was fun seeing you anyway. Don't you love Smilebox?

Our new daughter!

This picture was taken at church a few days ago while Kelly was on his way to the US for work this week. We have some wonderful news to share.  We are adopting 7-year-old Yeh Min Yu, who has been in our home off and on the last couple of months.  There's a lot that goes into making this official, dealing with US Homeland Security to arrange for her immigration visa, Taiwan courts and Chinese documents, getting a home study done by a licensed, qualified person, applying for a passport.  You have no idea.  I'll be glad when it's all done, but I couldn't wait to share this bit of joy with everyone.  We will name her Hannah to go on her new US birth certificate.  She's excited and nervous to go to America with us.  She can say more than 100 words in English so far.  Some of her favorite things to say are "small dog, butterfly, apple, pig."  She says it more like pig-uh.  We love her and feel this is one of the reasons we came to Taiwan....

San Antonio temple weekend

Here am I (five months pregnant), with Hannah, Kelly, Lindsey, and Christopher, walking out of the San Antonio temple after our new daughter was sealed to us for time and for all eternity during a special, sacred ceremony, this past Saturday afternoon.  We were happy to have a wonderful group of guests in attendance with us, Kelly's two sisters, Debbie and Brenda, my sister, Julie, Kelly's mom and dad, my mom, my good friends Lorraine and Stewart, Carol and Rick, and one person from our ward, my buddy, Sue. Dinner later that night consisted of a feast at the Salt Lick in Driftwood, Texas, for some incredible pork ribs, cole slaw, and more. We strolled along the Riverwalk to show our visiting family members one of San Antonio's popular tourist spots.  It was a beautiful, windy day, the Saturday following Thanksgiving, in San Antonio.  We tried to find a corner with less wind to blow in our faces.  More photos of the family.  The family, strolling along th...

Book of Mormon Stories Pool Party!

Hopefully this title, Book of Mormon Stories Pool Party , does not sound irreverent, because as an Activity Days leader, I felt compelled to come up with a fun end-of-the-summer event that is also uplifting, and after all, who doesn't love a splash in the pool on a hot day in August?  My current church calling, or official role that I volunteer for, allows me to plan two activities each month for girls ages 8 to 11, that will encourage them to learn and live the gospel, serve others, and use the talents Heavenly Father has given them, to learn to do many good things.  This year's seminary course of study for high school students is The Book of Mormon, and since I am a huge fan of this inspired book of scripture, I came up with this idea to have each girl show up to my house with a written summary of one of her favorite stories from within its many pages, and share it with the rest of the girls, while outside in our swimsuits near our backyard swimming pool!  As each girl ...
