What's up with Google, Blogger, Picasa, etc?

I have been trying to get my blog up to date tonight but haven't been able to upload my pictures.  So I'm just wondering if anyone else has this issue?  When I try to upload them it says I don't have enough room and I have to by space to post my pictures.  I obviously don't want to buy more space and so I'm just wondering if anyone who reads this blog (if there is anyone) has an answer.

In the meantime, I was looking back at some old posts enjoying looking at pictures of my girls and how little they were even just 2 years ago.  They grow up so fast.  I also read my opinion posts about politics, being a mom and funny things my kids say.  I really need to get back to adding that stuff. It's so fun to go back and read.  I really need to get these priceless memories put into a book.  Any suggestions on how I should do that are welcome also.

St. Patty's Day 2011

I enjoy celebrating the little holidays like St. Patrick's day with my girls.  The past few years it fell on nights when I had Relief Society activities.  This year it was on the right night.  I decided to try my hand at corned beef and cabbage.  It was a hit.  I loved to see the look on Tim's face when he tasted the corned beef.  It was the same look he gives when he cooks something fabulous.  So I knew it had his stamp of approval.

Can you tell this girl loves the camera?

I forgot to add that Alexa and I made potato rolls also.
Tim was so proud of me he had to get a picture of me with my fabulous dinner.  Check out that presentation.  In the words of Julia Child:  "It's so beautifully arranged on the plate - you know someones fingers have been all over it."  Yep!

Great Night Out!

In case I haven't mentioned it before, my parents served a mission here in NC for the past year.  It was so fun having them here and getting to see them more than usual.  They worked hard updating and renovating a camp site that the church owns.  Not to mention they were a blessing to the ward they served in.  Just before they left, we all got together (when I say we, I mean the adults) to go to dinner and see Brian Regan.  We had a great dinner and fun conversation and then headed over to the concert.  They had a red carpet when we walked in so we all had to take a turn posing for the "paparazzi".

Maren and me at the restaraunt
 Andrew - he's such a natural.
 What a beauty.
In case you haven't seen Brian Regan, here's a few of our favorite clips.

Happy Valentine's Day! (A little late.)

I didn't realize how behind I have gotten on this blog.  So many things going on and not enough time to blog about them.  Here's our traditional Valentine's evening.  We made heart shaped grilled pizza.
Just had to document the awesome grill marks on this dough.  Tim's quite the expert when it comes to our grilled pizza.
 Here's the ham and pineapple.  (Notice the effort I went to in making the ham heart shaped.  Yes, I love my girls THAT much.)
Everything pizza.  It was DELICIOUS!
 A few days later I watched my neighbor's little boy and caught McKenna and him dancing in the living room.  It was so cute and I thought fitting to add to this Valentine post.  They are too cute.
