I have my ten year reunion next month and was asked to put a slide show together for it. I'm not very computer savvy but it's McKinleyville High and I don't think people will be expecting too much. I know I could do one on PowerPoint but does anyone have any other suggestions or programs I could use?
I can't believe it's already July 15th! Ammon starts kindergarten in one month. Today he left with my mom to spend the week with them. I always worry when I'm apart from my kids. So paranoid that something will happen to me or to them. But I know Ammon will have a wonderful time and a break from three kids will be nice. Poor Cohen really wanted to go. He kept saying, "I go poop in the potty now, I can go too." He is doing okay with the potty training. Basically he runs around naked all day. My mom actually did offer to take him but he can be a hand full and she is going to have jet lag this week.
As they were leaving Ammon said goodbye to the kids I'm babysitting. Then he told them, "I'm going to where my girlfriend lives, " with a little smirk on his face. My mom and I died laughing. He is so girl crazy. Not like other boys his age who hate girls and think they have cooties.
The last time I made rice krispy treats I measured my ingredients.
Rice Krispy Treats
1 16 oz bag mini marshmallows
1 cube of butter
8 cups rice krispies
Melt the butter. Throw in the marshmallow. When all melted pour rice krispies in. Yummy but fattening deliciousness.
This next recipe is from Becky Higgins (the scrapbooker) blog. It is to die for. PLEASE try it!
CORN & AVOCADO SALSA
1 can white corn, drained (used fresh corn off the cob)
1 can black-eyed peas, drained
1/2 bunch green onion, chopped
1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped
4 med. tomatoes, chopped
3 avocados, chopped
1 pkg. Good Seasons Italian dressing mix
Mix together all ingredients and chill overnight.

YUM! I want to go and make both of those right now - I don't have rice crispies in the pantry, so I might have to settle for some other kind of cereal.
I would have used powerpoint if I were making one - I don't know what else is out there, but if you want different backgrounds or things for powerpoint there are tons out there you can download - or just use any kind of picture.
Ben's ten year is this summer too. He is going without me since I have a wedding in Utah that same weekend. I didn't know you guys were the same age
totally sitting here eating rice cripsy treats now - because of your post- and they are yummy! - and I even had a hidden box of crispies in the back of the pantry! Thanks!
Love good rice krispy treats (meaning chewy!). The salsa sounds yummy!
Ammon is so cute. He was wearing the spiderman sunglasses we got hom when mom called me. Go Cohen. I think I'm going to go potty-training hardcore with izzy sometime v v soon. she is so ready.
lovin' all the posts, sister!
Well maybe we should hhok up Brooklyn and Ammon... She is boy crazy too and always talks about who should she marry because there are so many boys that want to marry her! I am not going to my 10 year... way too expensive (because of an open bar!) and I really can count the people I want to see on one hand... oh well!
Thanks Kelly-I'm always looking for new yummy recipes! If you have a Mac you can do a slideshow real easy in iMovie. My 10 year was last year - I only went to the family picnic though - our tickets were $85/person (yeah-$170/couple) and I didn't think it was worth it - turns out no one else really did either, so we all had fun at the picnic with our kids too. I know how you feel about worrying when your kids are gone - that's me to a t!
You are the rice krispie queen-noone makes them better! bring some to the lake! ammon is having so much fun. He is King of the Hill here and loving it. I love, love, love your haircut!
Yummy... can't wait to try them! I have no advice on what to do for a slide show... sorry. But I know you will do great.
Ha...love ammon! he is so hilarious and loyal to Lex. Good luck Cohen!
