A gift from my mom.

My mom saved some of the outfits I wore as a baby and gave me one when we were visiting at Christmas. It now fits Madison! This little outfit is in really good condition considering how old it is! Thanks mom!

The first step is admitting you have a problem.

Hi, my name is Diane and I had a problem! I was completely addicted to Shutterfly. It all started back in December when we got the kids picture taken with Santa and I got a $10.00 gift card to Shutterfly. I went to their website to see what I could make and decided to create a photo book for my mom. I sorted through the thousands of pictures from our massive road trip and organized them into a 32 page book. I was so excited to give it to her for Christmas! She loved it! I loved it so much that I decided to start making my blog into books. I started with 2011 and working on that book completely consumed me. I was staying up until 2:00 AM every night, skipping the gym, letting Riley watch WAY too much TV and pretty much neglecting all household duties. I knew it was bad when I was annoyed that I had to stop to use the bathroom! When my first book came in the mail it all seemed worth it, I had a whole year of our lives neatly organized into a book. Not only did it include all of my favorite pictures, it had all the commentary from my blog. We finally had a family scrap book! After finishing my second book I realized that although this was a good thing, I needed to do it in moderation! So now I'm working on the rest (I want one for every year starting with 2005, which is going to take a while!) at a much slower pace. Here is the main reason my blog has been so neglected this year:

The birthday cake.

My brother isn't really a cake person and doesn't care if he gets one on his birthday. When I asked him what kind of cake he wanted his answer "I don't want a cake" was completely unacceptable to his five year old nephew. Tyler insisted Clif tell him what kind of cake he wanted, so Clif jokingly told him he wanted a Ninja Turtle cake. Tyler couldn't wait to go to the store and get what we needed for the cake. He 'whispered' the plans for the cake to everyone at lunch (with Clif in the room). After baking and icing the cake I put Tyler in charge of making the turtles. As you can see he took his job very seriously...
