Computer Challenged

It doesn't look like the pictures are going to happen for now. I can't figure out how to set up the "new" computer. It would have to go in our bedroom and we don't have a computer hook in there. We have a wireless router but I don't think it will work with out the antenna. I wish I were more technologically able to take care of myself. I am going to find some old pictures on a disk and try to up load them from that and see if that works.

Q hung out with her friends today. Yesterday she went to the lake with her cousins. They went fishing and she caught a blue gill.

Z came with Jeff and I to the movies. We went and saw Iron Man. We give it an A-. The minus is for some stuff at the beginning. Other than that it was really good.

We had a great Memorial Day. We did the traditional cemetery cleaning of the headstones of our relatives. All of the kids came. This is a great tradition of service that the kids are learning. Uncle Boe and Grandma got eaten by some black ants but other than that we had a great time.

Inadequate...

So... I have been browsing other blogs and I feel inadequate. The computer I have is the one that Jeff and I both used when we were working on our undergraduate degrees from ASU thirteen years ago. It won't upload pictures from Quinnelly's (ya that's right, our daughter has a digital camera and we don't) camera. We are living in the stone ages of technology at our house. My friend Kim gave us her old Mac computer but Jeff thinks this one is fine, but Quinnelly and I are going to secretly put the other one up next week when Jeff is out of town. If it works we might have a picture next week. If not you will know our mission was foiled.

School's out for the summer!!!! I always loved that song and it has special meaning if you're a teacher. The kids and are jumping for joy because school is out. I finished packing up my classroom today and Q watched her niece Annelise while Jenny and Spencer finished up their school stuff too. Zane is already running around in his swim suit. That's what he'll be wearing for the next ten weeks.

Gilbert High School graduation was insane yesterday. They had told us that if it was raining that it was going to be inside. At the last minute our principal decided to go ahead with graduation outside because the graduates and the parents wanted it in Tiger Stadium. It was FREEZING! We were all soaked but the graduates were happy. So GHS graduation commencement number 91 was a success even though for the first time in 48 years it rained.

This is the first official blog. I felt it would be appropriate on the first day of summer vacation to start being a bloggin mama. I guess I'm in the club now.
