Ione Where Are You?

So Grandma, when do we get to read a post from you???

Thank you!

Hello,
I wanted to give ya'll an update regarding my "business name". THANK YOU SO much to those creative ideas! I was quite impressed!! Please don't delete me from the Family blog...but I have chosen a name somebody suggested here at work. I'll announce it soon :)

Egypt "Movie"

I posted a video of our trip (15 mins) on our family blog LaTour à la Maison if anyone is interested in watching it. It's very small and so does not capture the undefinable beauty and awe of Egypt, but you'll have to visit the place to really get all of that.

Have a great day!

Post Link to our Family Blog?

How do I post a link to our family blog under "Other Family Blogs"? Once someone answers me, I'll delete this. Thanks!

Mexico!

I just got back from Mexico. I worked with the sweetest little kids ever. I thought I'd put a few of the highlights here, but if you want to see more, you'll have to check out my blog.

We played.
We taught.
and of course, we shopped...or should I say, we shooped?

What we did in May

I enjoyed reading what Deon and Rachael did in April and May... so I thought I'd post our family month too.
May was the last month of school for our kids. Isaac graduated from sixth grade and will be entering Jr. High this Fall. He only aloud me to buy him a tie and shirt for his graduation because he read all four Artemis Fowl books in May and Artemis wears a tie.

Adara graduated from High School and will be going to the U of U in the Anthropology Dept this Fall. She went to senior prom (picture) in May and was sad to say "good-bye" to tons of friends who are going their separate ways. Two guys have already asked her out this Summer, but that is nothing compared to the Egyptian men who ogled her exotic white skin, blazing short red hair and pale green eyes.

Before taking Adara on her graduation trip to Egypt, we took the family to Park City for a week vacation (Spring Break). It was fun to swim outside AND go snowmobiling all in the same week.The whole fam-damily, snowmobiling

Then we went to Egypt for two weeks. I'm starting our own family blog, and I'll go into more detail there... but in short, we did a seven day cruise on the Nile, stopping to see every major ancient monument along the way and spent another week staying in a five star hotel touring pyramids, mosques, temples, tombs, etc. We paid for our own person guide who had a Master's in Egyptology and was Egyptian (speaking fluent English). His name was Ache, and he really took care of us on the cruise and in Cairo. We always had transportation, armed escorts, or whatever we needed. More photos and our video will be posted elsewhere and I'll give you the link.

help - I need some creative business name ideas

A few of you know that I enjoy scrap booking. Over the past year, I have begun to venture into creating digital “Memory Books” for people …..think coffee table books for your wedding, graduation, or baby’s first year with a creative & simple spin.

This sounds silly, but I feel like I can’t move forward with this venture without an official & creative “Kelli is a genius, trust me with your photos” type of name. I have pondered it the past year, and nothing has stuck, so I need your help! Some previous suggestions from friends: KP Creations, Noteworthy Nostalgia, Memories by Kelli……blah, blah, see why I need your help?
