dang computer

so my mom called tonight and told me that i needed to blog more. my sister-in-law, amanda, is showing me up. she's a much better blogger than i am. i still can't get my pics to download to my computer. right now i'm deleting pics as i upload them to my external hard drive. i'm hoping i just need more space on our computer. any suggestions on fixing my problem guys? does anyone else have problems with mcaffee? we use to have norton but switched and now it's doing this.

so i'm back to shifting through photobucket trying to find the pictures i never blogged about from hawaii.

i'll just say--dane and i stay up every night watching the olympics until 2 am. we rarely get to bed before midnight. i'm sure there are a lot of sleepy people at work and business owners are probably looking forward to the end of the olympics.

today was bray's first day of preschool. he was VERY excited. last year he went twice a week and they brought a show-and-tell item on both days. this year he goes three times a week and they only have show-and-tell on mondays. bray didn't believe me and snuck his new football. i saw it in his bag after school was finished and he just smirked and said--ok, you were right mommy. i wish i could download the pics from today but i'll post them as soon as i can get this working again. he had the biggest smile.

back to the pics... we try to see as much family as possible when we go to visit hawaii. you never have enough time to spend with everyone, as you would like. i didn't get to see my puna (great-grandmother) until the day before we left. she told me to make sure i come by earlier in my trip next time i come down. oops.

amber & buddy just moved into a new house in kapolei. they had their house warming party while we were there so we could see everyone. it's been sooo long since we've seen everyone from the BYU days. it's weird seeing everyone with all their kids. thanks amber. we had so much fun.

i think the favorite schedule was beach followed by shave ice at waiola's. the kids expected it when we left the beach.

enjoying their shave ice

they could each eat their very own. even ani.
one day the kim's took the kids and i to the humane society in town. they love going there. ani is usually deathly afraid of cats and dogs but sitting next to lauryn...she enjoyed it.

Ok, so just make me sound like I don't have a life and all I do is blog...even though it's pretty much true! just kidding.

sorry you're having computer problems. Try getting a MAC I think their the best and I NEVER have problems!! But that's a expensive fix : )

We too have enjoyed watching the olympics, and like you are up way too late.

it sure looks like you had a wonderful time in Hawaii, I'm totally jealous!!

oh we love them. maile wanted to see them so badly. we love all the pictures. sorry no advise on the computer problems. maybe if it's a space issue, i use ccleaner, google it, it cleans all the junk files and leaves you with a lot more space. it's a free download. i'll see if i have norton download.

looks like you guys had a lot of fun in Hawaii....what preschool does Braden go to? Do you like it? I am thinking of putting Brooke in one maybe starting the winter semester if I could find a good one.

Ok so you totally need to get an external hard drive to store all your pics on! Then you just plug it up to the computer when you want to upload pics for the blog, also if your computer crashes you have all your pics on another device! PS your litte boy looks just like you....so adorable!

Such great pictures! Your kids are darling.
The Olympics were killer on me too! They were wonderful. I wonder if the kids can tell that I am getting more sleep now.
