A Very Talbot Easter

WHAT A CUTIE! PICTURES OF THE WEEK!

Four Generations

I thought I would post this photo of the first 4 generations in our little family. Easter is now over but I think we had a pretty good egg hunt. I'm coming up with some great ideas for next year so I hope you all plan on being here! It was especially warm to me that all 7 of my children were home for a little while on Saturday evening. That is such a rare happening and it made Mama's day. Of course that meant that I got to see Kannon . . though I didn't get to hold him much:( I Just watched the Easter clip from Elder Holland's talk. You can access it from the lds.org web page. It is really wonderful. Bridger told me that it was one of the top most watched videos on the internet according to you tube. I was so impressed and amazed to hear that. Don't hesitate to give feedback on any Easter activities. The boys are going over to a sleepover slumber party at Lacee's tonight. I guess that will mean it's just you and I, Cait. Oh, YES. I brought my Cait back home this past Thursday. I will turn around and take my Sess right back up on Saturday! Cait has been busy job hunting. I've been typing and Dad has been gone. Our kitchen sink is backed up and so we're using paper products and avoiding cooking until our Dad gets home so he can fix it. I love you all.

I really have no idea why you couldn't post comments. Maybe it was your internet connection at the time or the security settings on your computer because I just tried it and it's working just fine.

Danielle!! HEY THERE!!!!! OH MY GOSH, I THOUGHT WE'D NEVER HEAR FROM YOU! Thanks so much for giving us your update. So wonderful to hear from you! Please drop by often, it's really great to read your stuff.

I tried to add a comment to your post but it wouldn't let me. Sess had the same problem! Hey Cait, why won't it let us??

See you, Danielle,

Mama

How come it doesn't remember the password when i click the "remember me" button when signing in? I must be doing something wrong.

I've got a slew of photos on my phone that i need to download or upload or sideload, some onto the blog - so i'm counting on bridger to figure that out for me!!! Bridger????

A few clarifications

Yay! You've all started! Now this feels so much better--so much more connected. I just wanted to give a few clarifications in response to some of the posts so far concerning this blog.
First, Travis, we want to hear from you too. Especially if you have any funny, embarrassing, blackmail-type stories about Lacee.
Second, don't worry Mom. It's not as complicating as it looks. And I wrote up instructions and posted them on the right hand side of this blog to help anyone out. It's under the title, "How this works."
And third, in response to Bridger's post when he said he wasn't sure what to say and that this was going to be interesting: I'm rather new at this whole idea too, but I've seen family blogs of a couple of my roommates and a few friends and from what I've gathered from that, just write about anything new that has happened, just to keep everyone up to date. You don't have to write a whole lot. You can if you want--we would love to hear lots, but for those that don't have very much time, etc., you know. And while I am a new, loyal follower of Bridger's blog, I also want to hear what he has to say when it's just his family that's reading it. It's more personalized that way. Basically you can't go wrong with a post. You can say anything you want. Every post so far has been awesome. But for anyone who is still confused about what to write....

• Anything new! Dad's post about Sessely being sick and Bridger's sterling scholar update was great!

• Random stories! Bridger's interview story was pretty darn hilarious. They don't have to be funny, either. You can tell a story about how your photography teacher thinks you're a Gothic person. Any stories.

• Any thoughts you wanted to share. Sometimes I randomly remember something funny--a memory, joke, etc. and it's sad because it's something I know only Sessely would think was funny, or it had to do with an inside joke between me and Lacee, and it's sad that I can't tell them about it. Well, tada! Now you can!

• Pictures! We might not have been with you when you had a blast at that party and took that hilarious picture, but that doesn't mean we don't want to hear the story or see the picture! Share, share, share! The post about mom's valentune is an example, and Danielle, any new pictures of Kannon? We want to see!!!

• Videos! Proud moments, music videos, pictures of Brigham singing as he washes dishes (ha ha ha), those are all perfect! And yes, you can upload videos from your phone and post them.

And you don't have to post something everyday. Just often enough that we know what's up, and that you're not dead......right now I'm pretty sure that Jasmine has walked off the face of the earth. If we don't slack on this, it will be so worth it, and so much fun! I'm so excited! Make this a homepage, or bookmark it so you can go to it often!
Hm...I feel kind of bossy now. Well, you can do whatever you guys want, just thought I'd share ideas.
Okay. I'm done procrastinating homework.
Love you all!!

Thank you CAIT!!!!!

A great thanks to Cait for pulling this together - this is going to be fantastic for us all. Thanks Cait!!!!!!!!!!!
