Finally!

Finally, our 14 1/2 month old is starting to walk on his own! At the most he'll only take four steps, and then ease himself to the ground. The little turkey. All his other friends around his age are running circles around him! But in the meantime he has become an amazingly fast crawler!

Starting out from Dad, taking a few steps.

Here I come Mom! Do you like his eyes? They match his clothes. I forgot to correct them since I didn't use the red eye flash, sorry. I swear he's not possessed!

You made it!

Even if he falls, he still gets an applause.

Whoo Hoo! Your doing it!

Wow this was a busy Easter with alot of pictures. Here they are! First we went to an Easter Activity with the Mickelsen's (to our old University Stake), the to Pullman's Egg Hunt with the Mickelsens (the girls came with us because Jeniel and Ira didn't know if they'd make it in time because they were doing the final paper work to sell their house. Horay for them!), then Easter at our house. Enjoy!

Here is how I did it...

Many of you are wondering how I changed my background. I have to give the credit to Jeniel Mickelsen, who showed me, but here is how:

This web site not only walks you through it (on the far right side below "You Must Do This First) but has some pages that you can use. I created my own from digital scrapbooking stuff I have (all free from the web!), saved it on photobucket (after creating an account), then from photobucket I could get the html code to put on the "direct link" like it says on the website instead of puting one of theirs in. To create my own (I used Photo Shop Elements 4.0, again from a friend, I have the BEST friends!!!) it took alot of trial and error in trying to size it correctly, but was worth my time. The title "The Huston Family" I also made in PSE, but saved it as a JPEG and added it directly from my computer. Hope this helps! Enjoy!

How do you like it?

Well I think I did it! It took alot of trial and error, but I think I got it the way I want it. All this digital papers and embelishments really came in handy! I'm not too thrilled with the top title bar. Maybe at the Houston temple I'll get a nice family picture for the top (like Jeniel's) and make it cute (like Janene's). But until then, this will have to do.

Trying to find my own "Look"

Sorry for the multiple looks of my blog. I am slowly figuring out how to cutomize it! So at times it may look alittle crazy or mismatched, but hopefully in the end (with Jeniel's help) it will look better!

3+1

3 boys + 1 girl = 3 super heroes & 1 princess

Garrick had gotten some batman and superman pj's from one of my co worker's son's (thanks Liz). Which I have had a tough time tearing the batman one off Garrick when it's time to go anywhere. So when Kody & Jack came over to play, it was little boy heaven! Seeing as they typically play super heroes anyways, now they would have costumes! Then with some scraps I had, I whipped out a batman cape for Kody (even thought he was wearing a spider man costume he didn't care) and a super man cape for Jack. Then that left Aleksia, the perminant princess that they are constantly saving from the "Evil Villains!" They are quite funny to watch and listen to!
