Aidan's B-day Invites-- My first attempt at uploading pictures!

So, today's been a big day. I started this blog, learned about image hosting, and now I think I'm ready to actaully try to insert a picture or two here and see if it works! We've been planning Aidan's first birthday party, and I decided to digitally scrap the invitations. I printed them out at Walmart today as two 4X6 photos, and then I taped them to folded cardstock. The result is a completely cute birthday invite to Aidan's pool party.

Ok, so it seems like my first attempt at uploading pictures worked, sorta! I was TRYING to make the picture come underneath the text, and I would have liked the bottom pic to be on top, but it's a good first try ;). I hope you guys like them. I changed the important info. on the invite just incase some wierdo ran across this blog.

Anyhow, we are really excited about Aidan's party, and I think I've even figured out food to serve that THE WHOLE FAMILY can eat. THAT is a HUGE deal considering all of the boys food allergies. I'm still perfecting my cake recipe. I'm trying to make a white cake b/c Aidan's never had chocolate before (and with my allergic kiddos, the first b-day is not the time to introduce new foods). I've got a great chocolate cake recipe that is wheat, dairy and egg free, but I'm trying to turn it into a white cake. My first attempt today was a bit spongy. I'll try again soon. Hope you like the new blog. I'm hoping that it will keep us all a bit better connected!
