Phelps Phenomenon and Other Things...

I have been glued to the Olympics for the past nine days. Micheal Phelps is one amazing athlete! He probably is one of my favorites in all of sports. Yes, I have noticed that he is ripped, but I do not have a crush on him. I have marveled at his ability as I have watched him make history in Beijing in the last week. As I have watched interviews with commentators on NBC, I have learned that all he does is eat, sleep, swim, and carb up for another event when he competes. In my opinion, his feat is quite impressive! In what other sport could a person have a chance to compete in 17 different events to try to bring home eight gold medals?

In other news my little cousin Lily celebrated her first birthday today. My mom made her a really cute homemade sunflower birthday cake. I had so much fun celebrating her. Let me just say, the girl is LOVED! I am thankful for my little 'Lily Belle'. I would love to post pictures but i have never figured out how to download them onto Blogger. So if anyone can help me out please leave a comment and let me know. I got some cute pictures of her party. Be blessed this week :)

Lauren,
I've posted comments on your blog a few times before so I figured I would help you post pictures on your writings.

When you are writing your post, there are seven links in the tan margins of where you type. The second one from the right, or sixth, is what you click on. Once that happens, a new window will pop up and then you will want to click on "Browse". That will then bring up a window that says "File Upload". Proceed to click on "My Documents" on the left and then on the folder that houses all of your pictures... mine says "My Pictures". The you just flip through your files and find the pictures you want, double click, and it will attach itself to the post. I hope that helps, if you have anymore questions, please feel free to write back!
