Our Trip to Durango
This last week made a little trip to Durango to see family that we haven't seen in awhile and to introduce our newest addition to his grandparents, great grandma, aunts, uncles, and cousins. we were there for 5 days and we got to spend time with everybody which was alot of fun, johnny's dad played the guitar and sang for us and i was going to record it and my camera was dead but eventually i will get a recording of it, Merrick loved it! It was nice to visit and see everybody, johnnys brother lives in new mexico so we made a trip there to see him and the family. Merrick hated being in his car seat all of the time but overall i feel that it was a trip worth while. we will have to go there more often.

oh fun, I'm glad you found me!! Ya it looks way better thank goodness haha..i'm such a dork! I'm doing good!! How are you doing?? Your little boy is soo stinkin cute!!
Hey Brit! How are you? Taking your blog private just makes it so that strangers can't get onto you blog. Only those I add can view it. I decided to do it cuz I've heard stories of creepy, sick people doing stuff with pictures of kids they find off of blogs. The chance of something like that happening is way small, but I decided to not risk it.
The way to put a video on is done almost the same way as how you put on pictures. You start a new post and then on the tool bar, on the far right, there's an add a video button. Click on that and then you should be able to upload your video:) I hope that made sense and that it works for you!
