Week of 9-14 and 9-21

I've been in a quandary for a year or two about what to do with my weekly newsletters I send our families, my blog, my scrapbooking, the journals and baby books I keep for the kids, and the FHE journal. It's just too much and I want to combine a couple of those. I want to send pictures with my newsletters to show what I've been talking about, but I can only send 4-5 in an email. That's time consuming and then I go and put most of those same pictures on my blog. Then I go and scrapbook those same pictures plus more. I've thought of posting my newsletter on my blog with the pictures, but my newsletters are quite lengthy and a little more personal than I'd like on my blog. I could make it private, but then I like whoever is wanting to see what we've been up to to have access to it. So for now I'm going to post the pictures here that go with stories I've written in my newsletter. Feel free to ask questions if you don't get my newsletter and want to know more about the event. If you have any better ideas please let me know! I'd love a perfect solution.
So here are the pictures that would go with the newsletters of Sept 14 and 21.

 I have a recipe that makes 5 loaves of wheat bread. On the first cool day I decided to surprise Kylie (while she was out baby-sitting) by making one of them into cinnamon bread. She said it was perfect and was all gooey like Panera Bread.

 Opening ceremonies for the Ancient Greece Olympics. Makenna is holding the torch.

 The javelin throw

 The medals

 The winners

 Plasma car fun.

 Makenna showing us how much she loves broccoli. I think this was her third helping.

 Kylie's 14th birthday. It touches my heart to see how much her younger siblings love and respect her. She is an awesome big sister. She's everything I could ask for in an oldest child of a large family.

 She made cream cheese brownies and put homemade peanut butter cups on the top.

 Thomas shut his finger in the hinge of the back door. A week later the nail fell off.

Our stake president found us some free tickets to the big ECU vs UNC game. I took Spencer and Thomas and we had a great time!! We loved every minute of it. We won too, 70-41! I wish we could go again.
