Making Your Own Blog Background

I decided it would be fun to create my own blog backgrounds.  So one night I sat down and with the help of my husband I figured out how to design and post your own blog backgrounds. If you  are ever interested I have a link to the article I wrote about creating blog backgrounds.

Happy New Year

To celebrate the New Year I made some fabulous lasagna.  One spinach and artichoke lasanga with alfredo sauce and a traditional lasagna with red sauce.  Yummy!  I was glad to spend another New Year with my husband. Here are links to the recipes below. 

Traditional Lasagna
Spinach Artichoke Lasagna
To make my version of Spinach Artichoke Lasagna. I substituted red sauce for Vegan alfedo sauce.  (I'm not vegan, but too much cream and cheese makes my stomach feel really ill.  I thought the vegan sauce was really good and I  didn't feel sick after.   I also substituted all the cheese for vegan cheeses. )

Microsoft Intership

David was selected to interview for a Microsoft Internship in December. Microsoft flew him to Seattle, provided food and lodging, and a car. He had to interview with about six different people from their research department and we will find out if he makes the fellowship in February. If so we might get to live in Washington for a summer, which would be really fun.

1st graders.

Every year I apply for a $500 grant for my classroom through a Kid's Foundation. This year I was able to buy books, leapfrogs, and CD's for my students. As a thank you to the organization I always take pictures of my class using the material I purchased with the money. I thought maybe everyone would enjoy seeing the pictures. They are just so darn cute.

David's brother Scott came to visit us for Christmas this year. We enjoyed playing games together, eating good food, and watching movies. It was nice to have company over.

Thanksgiving

We flew out to Utah for Thanksgiving this year. We decided that we have become to Californian to do Christmas. Utah is too cold. It was fun to see all my family, but the time went by too fast.

Squirrels Attack Again

In the summer the squirrels ate all my tomatoes and for Halloween they were eating my Monster Pumpkin. Here are some before and after picture.
