Blog lists

I changed my friends and family list to a blog list which shows when someone has added a new post. I like this feature, because then I know which blogs to check when I'm on the computer. However, what I've realized is that it only shows the most recent post. That means that if you only post occasionally, like me, and then do several posts at once, also like me, only the last post shows up. So, what I'm saying is this, check the whole blog, not just the most recent post. I still have 2 more spots on my "Pay it Forward" post. It will be fun!

Can someone help me?

I have a question. Does anyone know how to print your blog in a book-type format. This is really the only journal I've been keeping, so I'd like to print a hard copy. Any help would be very appreciated.

Silverado vs. Liberty

Steven is FINALLY getting some playing time. He has hardly played the whole season, but yesterday he played most of the game. He even scored 8 points! It's amazing what a little confidence can do. The more he plays, the more confident he gets, and the more confident he gets, the better he gets. It's really fun to watch the games. They played Liberty yesterday, a rival school not too far from here. During the 3rd period a group of boys came in and really got the crowd going. It was loud, and intense, and so much fun. I felt like a teenager again!
(Sorry, no sound.)

Shark Man

Logan is having a great time as the school mascot for Silvestri Jr. High. He totally gets into it, doing the moon walk and the running man. It cracks us up! He says the best part is playing with the kids and giving high fives to the crowd. Plus, he gets to hang out with all those girls. He's livin' the dream, baby!!!
P.S. There's no sound on the movie, just funny to watch! Also, I think the shark looks like Jabberjaw for anyone old enough to remember that cartoon. :)

Emma's Animal House

Just thought you might like to see the animal house now that Emma has decorated it. She put up wallpaper, and cut pictures from magazines to decorate the walls and floors. It looks great and she plays with it every day.

Happy New Year!

This is the first time in 11 years that Craig and I have spent New Year's Eve together. He always had to work, and usually on the Strip! But this year his squad was on call all evening, and we were so lucky that he didn't get called out. We had a blast! Tara went to her friend's house for awhile, then to the Young Single Adult's New Year's Eve dance. Steven went to the Youth New Year's Eve dance, and Logan stayed home for his last year (he turns 14 next month) to babysit Emma and Kevin. He was a trooper, because Kevin ended up getting sick. Luckily we were just at the Lainharts around the corner, so we could get home to check on him when we needed to. The bottom picture shows all of us with our bubbly--sparkling cider!--as midnight approached. It was so much fun, but it made me miss the Gardners really bad! We talked later about our game nights we had when they were here. After they moved, the game nights just sort of died out. We keep saying we'll start doing them again, but until New Year's Eve, we haven't done it. Hopefully it won't be 11 years until we can have a fun New Year's Eve again. But if it is, that's okay, too. Craig loves his job and it takes care of us. That's really all that matters. Happy New Year, everyone!
