Momma & PomPaw Hunt

The boys loved being at Momma & Pompaw's house for Christmas. Jordan asks me almost everyday if we are going to go there to see Tim & Megan. He sure loves his cousins.

I was pleasantly surprised that Dill didn't have his "stranger danger" attitude with any of them either. We will be back to visit later this month for Megan's baptism. Jordy probably won't want to come home...again.

The Christmas Suit

I just had to get a suit for Jordan this year! He will wear it to 2 baptism's this year too so it was worth it! He looks pretty dapper to me!

The Birthday Boy!

Dillon had his first birthday on 12/21/07. Poor thing had a cold and could pretty much care less. But look how cute he is! Love you Dill!

Christmas is over- Yahoo!

We spent Christmas this year in Snowflake with Mindy's family. It was fun, Jordan really enjoyed being with all his cousins. Too bad we all caught the stomach flu! Merry Christmas indeed.

It was really cool that Jordy was so into Christmas this year. "Oh Boy"! He would exclaim when he opened a present he liked. When he opened clothes he just tossed them aside.

Poor little Dill has been hit the hardest with the flu, and he's not even over the cold he had. Hopefully he can start feeling better soon. He did learn a new word at Grandma's: CAT. He loved Uncle Noah's cats!

An hour I will never get back...

I tried to get a good picture of the boys together to send out in Christmas cards this year. After 45 minutes or torture I downloaded 1 usable photo. I thought turning off the flash would make the tree lights look better, but it made all the pics blurry. So this is what we are going with. The boys do look stinking cute though!

Where did November go?

Wow, it has been a busy month at the Karafa house! We had Grandpa's 90th b-day party, 2 weeks of colds/flu, Thanksgiving and a little guy learning to walk. Thanksgiving was at Momma Karafa's this year. Jordan had a good time playing with his cousin jaxon who was visiting from Albuquerque. We had family photo's done that weekend and he surprised us all by actually smiling for a change.
Dillon is walking more than crawling now. He is up to 5 1/4 teeth now. poor thing has had a rough few weeks with teething and being sick.
We put up our Christmas tree on the 29th. Jordy says its the best tree EVER!! It is really exciting that he is so into Christmas this year. It will be a lot of fun for him when we go to Momma Hunt's for the holidays. I think he has already watched every Christmas movie!
Jordan is really enjoying nursery. He's a big boy so they moved him up to the 3 yr old class already and he just loves his teachers. It melts my heart when he comes home and has learned a new song. His favorites are I am a Child of God, and the Daddy song (I'm so glad when Daddy comes home.....)

Pics and video's of the yahoo's to come!

Blog Safety Tips...

1. Right-Click protect:
If you want to protect your images from people being able to right-click (and save as) you can do the following-
Go to Add/Arrange Page Elements and select html/java script. Copy and paste this script:

Save & you are done!

2. Disable the left-click function to enlarge photos:
Some camera settings already do not let you enlarge the photo's. Test your blog and see if you need this step. If you do then continue with the following-
When you are creating a new post you have 2 tabs in the right hand corner. Click on Edit html. Your post will now probably look like a bunch of gobblety gook to you. You are looking for this:


http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LQnoj1w0gqQ/SfI80dsrFjI/AAAAAAAABBQ/YGlzvkuprTw/s1600-h/blogger.jpg



The red text is what you want to change. Change it to www.blogspot.com When someone tries to click on your photo it will take them top a page that cannot be found.
For every image you post you will have two sets of html code. See up there where it has /s1600? That is the enlarged size. This is the one you want to change! The second line of code is the visible size on your blog. If you use large it will probably be /s400. KIT- This is how I enlarged my pictures...I change mine to s800.


3. Get a Statcounter for your blog. There are lots of free service like Statcounter or SiteMeter. Check it often and watch the traffic on your blog. See how people are arriving there and how.


4. If you want to watermark your photos you can download a free photo editing program at getpaint.net Create a text to place over your photos before you upload them to your blog.


**Disclaimer**
I am by no means an expert, and these are the safeguards I choose to use. Unfortunately there are ways if someone really wants a picture they can get it. If you use these I hope they work well for you!
