Also, I am not going vegan. I hope that was clear. We do eat too much meat and too much saturated fat/cholesterol. I do want to do more substitutes with plant based food. I want to feel that my body is clean. I do want to buy grass fed animal products too. (I have seen Food Inc. I wanted to cry!) But Grass Fed is expensive. So when I can't afford it- I'll eat beans and veggies.
Also, I never share my opinions I just put pictures of kids up!! So it is great to see what kind of response I got. I love all your thoughts. With all the people in the world who eat junk- it looks like I do have a great circle of people who are thoughtful about what they eat. I love what I can learn from you. Pass on your recipes and I will pass on mine!
Also, the real estate here is cheap. Every one is prodding us to buy something. We looked, we got excited. We can buy a lot of a house- with the works! ( Ive always wanted a pool!) But now that it is here and I have had the option to have what I want, I realize it is not what I want. I would rather choose a shack by the beach. I miss my old and charming house in midvale. We wont be buying anything any time soon. So just for the clarification- the grass is not always greener on the other side.
Thanks for listening to my ramblings. Now back to posting pictures of kids!!

I'm telling you, it is not going to take you too long to start to LOVE Arizona. I know that it is hot...but seriously, I bet a year or two and you will be so attached. There are awesome people there, great things to do, lovely weather, activities for kids with great programs, oh so much. And I know you will make amazing friends that will make it terribly hard to leave.
I hope you meet some soon.
Who knows, you might get snow this year. The weather has been WEIRD!
Wow you are much more wise than me. Buying a big house for cheap would have me wildly excited. I thought the grass was greener everywhere than Midvale! (well, my side of the tracks... )
Ok, to change your header just go to the "Design" tab when you're in your dashboard. You will see the layout of your blog and there's an edit button on your header. You just upload a picture, it's really easy I promise, I'm no computer whiz either!
We keep driving past your house in Midvale as we go to soccer and I think about you every time. It's still the same color and not covered in graffiti or anything. Thought you'd care to know ... good luck staying cool and not dying of heat stroke.
To bed! I must go. I'm dying.
I had the same problem- blogger is not the most user-friendly site sometimes. When you check the box that says something like "shrink image to fit", it says underneath how many pixels wide it should be (I can't remember, 930 or something?).. so since my picture was huge too, I resized it in photoshop to much smaller, and made it that specific width that blogger said it would shrink my picture to... does that make sense? I didn't get it right the first time because it was still too "tall" so I kept going back and resizing it until it looked okay. I hope that helps. I don't know if you have photoshop, but you should be able to resize the photo on whatever software you have. Ok, I hope that helped! oh! p.s. it HAS to be saved as a .jpg so if photoshop makes it a .psd, make sure to select "jpeg" from the list of formats. ok that's all. good luck!!
and don't hesitate to let me know if that didn't help, I'd be more than happy to try to explain it better if that doesn't work for you!
