Anyone know how to put up links to other blogs?

We're dumbfounded.


We're also trying to put up a photo gallery, but can't figure out how to get our photos in the gallery.


Is it sad when all my younger sisters are more computer savvy than their eldest sister?


Perhaps Emily will be so kind as to give me a lesson in the matter someday.


Oh, well. At least I can try to talk like Edward.

This is the most recent picture of Ben and me, taken at the "Wilson family photo" last week!

Musical Maddie


This is a player piano at Ben's sister Becky's house. It is a lot of fun to be able to pump the pedals and make music. Tommy is our nephew he is on the bench next to maddie.




The Sky Is Falling

I don't know how many of you heard about the crazy weather that hit the Stapley and Wilson households this past week but it was amazing. 1/4"+ hail and rain that just wouldn't stop. The Stapley's even had some flooding in the basement. Thank goodness it didn't cause much damage. Anyway to get to the point, I was working in Fruit Heights that day when Maddie called to tell me about the weather. So I made my way out to the deck where there is quite the view of the valley, and well this is what I saw...the sky was falling.

Holy Crow!

I have three stories on the MormonTimes.com home page today!

The first one is about Marvin Perkins' interview to air on CNN.

The second is about the Odgen Stake Centennial anniversary.

The third is a book review for Glory From on High.

There is also a story (that I did not write) about a new satirical blog that I absolutely love! But, beware. If you can't handle criticism, sarcasm or satire, don't read it. It just cracks me up, though!

Hope you've got your reading glasses on!

Well, I remembered this time

OK. I've forgotten to post about a couple of stories withing the last week. Oopla. But today I remembered! I have a story on MormonTimes.com about a very inspiring young woman who I was lucky to meet yesterday!

Take a look!

Thanks for the tip, Haley

Thanks to a suggestion from Haley, I am going to strive with all my might to post whenever I have a story on MormonTimes.com. (Although I wish I would have thought of this earlier. I'm now almost finished with my internship.)

For all the family history buffs out there, there is a new application to help you greatly with your research!! If you want to hear more, read my story today at http://mormontimes.com/ME_familyhistory.php?id=1476

Ancestors, here we come!

Benji

A picture I stole from Haley. Ben was so lucky to see a member (who is now a missionary) from his mission! They saw each other at Grandma's on the 4th of July and talked forever in French. Buenas dias Benji! (I'm supposed to be working, so I can't write anything more.)
