So, if you're not schooled in the art of x-rays (which I wasn't until I had 3 boys) this is Ryan's pneumonia. It isn't bad in this picture. The bad news is that these x-rays were about 9 days in on an antibiotic and Ryan was feeling rotten. Being the awesome mother that I am, I kept sending him to school and then threatening to take him back down to the doctor if he didn't quit complaining. He was so crabby and fell asleep one night about 7:00 so I decided that I would take him in the next day. I felt terrible when they told me that he really was still sick and they put him on two more antibiotics. Hopefully he'll be feeling better soon.
While I have been doing a lot of catering to Ryan's every need (ice cream for breakfast and such), I've been going through a few things. Here's the big question:
How do you organize your recipes?
It's no secret that I'm a fan of being organized, but lately I'm not sure what to do with my mass amounts of recipes that aren't in books. I used to put all my recipes, neatly typed, on 4x6 cards and organized alphabetically, but now I also have this huge pile of recipes that I've ripped out of my magazines (being that I subscribe to like 5 cooking magazines). I hate to keep unnecessary magazines, so I rip out recipes that I like as I read the magazine and then I toss it in the trash when I'm done. So now I have all these recipes torn out of magazines and printed from online all in a 3-ring binder, but it just isn't efficient with the pages being so thin. 
I'm thinking that I'm going to have to either type them all up on cards, but I will loose the pretty pictures. I'm also tossing around the idea of copying my neighbor's idea and scrapbooking (digitally) all of my recipes so that they are in print and have a picture of them (I would also have them easily on hand to share or pass down if I did this). It would take a long time, but in the end would be so worth it.
Again....
How do you organize your recipes?
Maybe I can copy your wisdom.
Heading over to the island of Tetiaroa.
Could it be more beautiful?
Bird Island...hence all the birds.

Please ignore the butt-cheeks in the above picture! 
Loved the black sand beaches.
Unfortunately, it did rain, but didn't ruin anything we had planned.
Pepeete's marketplace, not as cool as the smaller shacks on the other islands you could shop at.
Passed the Sister Missionaries and had to stop to say hi. There were about 10 LDS Church buildings around the island of Tahiti (only about 65 miles around). The sisters thought I was so funny that I would want to stop and talk to them. When I asked where there were from, they said "here" because they are called on missions to French Polynesia if they are from there. Most of them speak 3-4 languages: French, Tahitian, the Native Tahitian language that I forgot the name of, and English.
Don't mind the fat lady in the picture...the waterfall was awesome. It had been raining and so we hiked in our swimwear to the waterfalls. The force of the waterfall was unreal. We couldn't even get close because even where I was standing I was getting pushed away. It was hard to even look toward the waterfall at that distance because the waterfall was so big from the runoff.

After the rain, there were tons of spontaneous waterfalls coming from everywhere in the mountains, I wish I wouldn've taken a picture where there were like 40-50 waterfalls coming out of the side of the mountains.
If you travel this way..the place to stay is on Moorea at the Sofitel Resort.
Amazing.
There were chickens everywhere on the islands. I was amused.
Okay, I hope you can see this. The mountain looks like a woman looking up to the sky.
Just like in the movies! 
Seriously, those dark spots in the water are reef sharks, stingrays, and eels.
I didn't last too long in with the sharks. They kind of freaked me out. And, I kept thinking that Steve Erwin thought stingrays were safe until he got stung in the heart and now he's dead. I got out and took pictures.
And not very good pictures at that. You'd think I would've taken good cool pictures of Jeff touching the rays and sharks, but instead I ended up with ones that looked like Jeff was having a stare-down with the rays.
Paradise in a picture.
GRAM STAYED HOME WITH THE BOYS
unless they are in a cool fort that mom build between that couch and ottoman?
