I Really Am Still Alive--

I got a new computer about a month ago, and I really love it! One of the best things about it is that I can just insert the memory card from my camera and download the photos in a snap. See--

My old computer wouldn't download the pictures from my camera at all. If I wanted to email a picture (or post one on my blog), I had to ask Scotty to bring home his work computer, put the pictures on his computer, then transport them to mine via flashdrive. Needless to say, this didn't really happen too often. But I have just spent the last couple days putting pictures on my computer, organizing them into folders, and backing them all up online. So now I am ready to fully embrace the world of blogging... For real this time. :)
Here is a little catch-up since my last post when I announced that I was pregnant:
Nine-year anniversary, Scotty's 31, Ezra's 8, Ezra got baptised, Spencer's 5, Ugh! I'm really sick, Mamma's campout, Spencer starts kindergarten, that makes me sad, Ugh! I'm still really sick, Elizabeth's 3, Samara's 7, We go to San Fransisco: the redwoods, the aquarium, chinatown, a pumpkin patch; we get the swine flu, it only takes a week to go through the whole family, we are no longer scared of pigs, no more sugar for me, Halloween, Thanksgiving, new baby girl, Yeah! sugar is back, Christmas, New years, Allison's blessing, Ezra's 1st Suns game, Rachel's 29, ten-year anniversary, school's out, Scotty's 32, Ezra's 9, Spencer's 6, we go to Utah and Colorado: Monticello, camping, Durango, hot springs, cowboy show; 4th of July in Williams, Mamma's campout.
And now we are to the present. Here is what is going on now:
YEAH! No more diapers for Elizabeth! It has been about a week and a half since we ran out of pull-ups and we have not had a single accident-- night or day. Ha! I knew she would potty train herself eventually. Here she is modeling the prize she got for going a whole day with no accidents (she picked it out back in December):

I am so very proud of you Elizabeth!
Allison has gotten so big, so fast. :( She's even riding horses and everything.

The 3 big kids are excited to start school tomorrow. We have had a wonderful relaxing summer, but now it's time to start our crazy busy schedule again. We are sad and happy about this.

Your update is fabulous. I should've saved my 200 posts last year and just done a ketchup! ;)

Elizabeth came into Primary on Sunday and announced to her teacher (I was eavesdropping since I sit behind them a few rows), "I have UNDERWEAR on!" (Chelsey smiles at her.) "It's because I'm a BIG girl." (Elizabeth beams.) I love that girl.
