I don't know what I am doing

Hey all,

Apparently my picture of a tulip field did not appear on my post last time. well, i will try to figure out this hi-tech stuff one of these days!!

And apparently I lost my ability to change fonts and colors..so all that is left is the boring stuff.

3 of the 90 bulbs I planted are coming up. Mason and I are very excited!! I think they are Iris..but one never really knows for sure. I am hoping more will show up soon!!!

The squirrels had transplanted a bunch of small hyacinth, daffodils and blue squill in our yard a few years ago and they multiplied. I had moved them into one area...and those ones are coming back in the "practice" garden. That will be fun to see all the color.

The other night Mason was spelling words that had 3 sounds...i felt like we were at a spelling bee. He kept asking me to name more words for him to spell. It was pretty funny. Ahhh...Exciting nights at the Wiedigers!! Yes, when mom is stuck on the couch we need to think of wierd things to do!

I hope everyone is doing well!! I'll keep you all updated on the pregnancy and the bulbs...whether you want to know or not!! I finally have a captive audience for all my rambling thoughts!!!

Hello from pregnancy world

Hi all!! Ok, this is my first ever blog experience. This picture is supposed to be at the bottom of this post. hopefully I will get better at this.

It was so wonderful to see everyone at Easter!! We definitely need to do that more often!! Mason is also very excited that he has more cousins!! When he saw Gianni this past Tuesday he said "Gianni, did you know I have more cousins?!?! I have LOTS of them!!!" He is pretty psyched about that!!

I believe I am too old to be pregnant ! This one is taking everything out of me!! Thankfully I love Mason as much as I do and just adore him, so I know it will be all worth it in the end!!

I was able to see the "newest addition to the Haugen family" on an ultrasound last week!! Just a cute little blob with a fast little heartbeat!! So amazing!!

So, the baby is due Nov. 26th...if the ladies are coming up during hunting season, I think the little one will be here.

Weather here has been nice. Good to get outside. Last fall I planted about 90 bulbs, but it was when I was ill, so I don't remember where I planted them and there was no "planning" as I put them in the ground, so we are looking forward to a magical yard this spring. I will try to take pictures when they come up...my first attempt at planting bulbs!

I hope everyone is doing well!! It's nice to have this blog to keep in touch!
love, jolee

Good Morning All,

I finally figured out how to scan and get the picture to the right place in a jpg format. My photo editing program won't work because my CD player in computer won't work. It's always something with this computer. Anyway, here is one of my favorite pictures from Easter. Now show me one of your favorites.!!
Love to all. M/AJ

Back in LA

Hey everybody!! Just wanted to say Hi… I am back in Los Angeles, and even though I am loving the weather I miss you all. I had a great time seeing everyone, even Steve… (Just kidding Steve) I hope everyone made it back ok and are doing well.

I am working on little project with Nick (Junal’s Boy), he sent me a paper boy (For School) named Stanley and I will be going around LA to some of the hot spots and taking a few pictures with him, I thought I would post them on the Blog when I get them developed.

Well, taking off now, going to go on a bike ride, just kidding I am going to watch some TV.

Thanks again for the best Easter EVER!!!

With love,

-Derek AKA Uncle Terry

How about THESE??!!

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to put some Easter pictures on this Blog. Now if I can do it I'm sure you can, too. Wasn't Easter just Great!!!!????

It was the best one in a long time and I'm sure Grandma Haugen enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks Mary and Marshall for being hosts for the gala event and opening up your home to all of us. It made many happy memories for all of I'm sure.

So here goes as I try to add a few pictures. Wow!! It worked!
Now how about a few pictures from the rest of you. They don't have to be about Easter. Just whatever you're up to.
I'm looking forward to seeing what's new here. Mom/Auntie Janis

So, I was editing the Easter photos

I have about 3 photo-editing programs, and found that my Microsoft program could do photo collages. This is great. I printed one out on an 8.5x11 sheet of photo paper. Very cool.
