Printing Pictures

***I apologize ahead of the time for the length of this post.  It is long and you have been warned!****  So last night I decided I had not printed ANY of the 3,000,000 1500 pictures that I have taken all year long.  Yes, I said ALL YEAR LONG!  Well at least I haven't ordered any since almost the beginning of the year.  So when I sat down on the couch to relax and watch some TV I decided to upload them to Shutterfly so I can at least then log on and go through them all when I have time and get them ordered for scrap booking this winter.  You see I have no excuse for not ordering pictures like every month because I always do a prepaid plan to get the best price.  And I usually always have a free shipping code.  There really is no excuse.  I just plain upload from my camera almost every week and leave them sit on the laptop.  And it is not because I don't have time or can't make the time because obviously I upload pictures all of the time for blog posts.  It is just something that I loathe dread  doing and so I don't.  So I think this year I will just make a commitment to myself to order prints every month or two so that I don't have to go through this all of the time.  Oh, and where I was originally going with this (so sorry) is about what happened last night when I did upload pictures.  Boy did I get off track.  I do better when I talk about a picture I uploaded!!  Anyway.... I was going through and picking pictures off of the laptop that I wanted to possibly order.  Well when it was time to head to bed I had about 659 chosen.  So I hit start and realized what a bad idea it was to select that many.  I decided to just let them upload overnight and I'd check them in the morning.  After I got out of the shower this morning the computer said that my upload had crashed and did I want to send a report.  I almost died on the spot.  Thought I killed the laptop.  I just exited out of everything and shut down the computer.  The whole point of this happy post is that when I logged into Shutterfly tonight 549 of the pictures were in my album.  So I didn't crash it until it hit 550 or so.  Do you think it just got tired and thought "what the heck was this crazy person thinking uploading that many photos?"  I will never know but I am very thankful that I did not have to once again go through a years worth of photos.  I think I might have just lied and told everyone my computer crashed and I had no pictures from the year.  That would have almost been the truth!  Have a great Thursday!

Ty Football 2010

So finally remembered to take the camera to Ty's game Friday night and snap some pictures. We won 45-0 and Ty had 3 TD's but one was called back. I don't know what his class will think when/if they ever lose. They haven't lost a game since grade school. Wouldn't that be awesome if they never did lose one? I think our varsity team will be a force to be reckoned with when they are juniors and seniors. Not saying that the varsity team currently isn't. They haven't lost this year either. Love football season but sad to see summer almost over! Go Wapsie Valley Warriors!

Happy Birthday Hildegard

Today is my sister in law Helen's birthday. I love this gal. We have been friends for a very long time, and we truly have a blast with each other. Thank goodness we can spend a lot of time together because we spend literally EVERY weekend together April through October at the river on our houseboats. We do crazy stuff, we cook awesome food, and we just hang out and talk. And in the off months or when we don't see each other, my car just seems to turn down her road when I am heading home from shopping. Even when Bruce has just waxed it and done the wheels. Right Helen? Oh well he washed it again quick when I got home. He knew I had to have my fix of "Hellie"! I love you Helen Hildegard like a sister and I know that we are having an awesome day moving and winterizing our boats for the season on your birthday! May we have many more river summers to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries with our friends and family. Oh, and this winter when you are having th...

Most Of Us

Okay I just had to post this picture even though I did post it with all the college move in slideshow pictures. This is the emotional morning that we left to move Kyle into his dorm. I think this is a really good picture of all of us except obviously Cole is missing. But he always tries too hard and "sometimes" messes up pictures, so I think it is safe to say this is a pretty good picture of Bruce and I with 2 of 3 favorite children in the world! See.....I said you are ALL FAVORITE CHILDREN!!!!!!! Just wait until there are grandchildren.....none of you will make the blog very often!
