Baby Genevieve Ellis is Here

Dear Harding family,
Just wanted to let everyone know that we had our little baby girl Friday night at 10:22 pm. Her name is Genevieve Ellis and she weighed 7lbs. and 13 oz. She was 20 inches long. We are all doing great and Kori is amazing. She feels really good and we are already at home. We are posting a ton of pictures on our blog at chaseandkori.blogspot.com. We love you all
Love,
Chase, Kori and Genevieve.

What A Great Idea

Good job Ashley and Tammy for getting this up and going. We're excited to be a part of it! Say, noting the great picture of Aunt Pam on the slide, I failed to bring my camera to the recent reunion. Horrible I know. However, I noted that several individuals did an excellent job with their cameras....what are the chances I can get a CD of reunion pictures? I'll reimburse you of course. I'd really love a copy of the great pictures, especially ones of Brayden and Scott in the water, the group photo, etc. Happy blogging!


Let me just say.....we had fun!

Hello!



Thanks Ashley for getting this started - that was a great idea. I love being able to keep in touch with people via email and blogs - it's a pretty awesome blessing in our lives!


Here's a quick picture of our boys. They both celebrated birthday's this week - Hunter turned 1 and Gabe turned 3. Time sure flies!


Coby's 18th on Bear Lake


Whoops! I thought this was Coby, but it's Chase! I hope you'll go to o ur site to view some fun pics of our afternoon on t he Lake. Coby is such an awesome young man now. He is doing what he loves most (working on the farms)and setting high goals. We certainly do love him and appreciate his contribution to our family.

Family Reunion Pics

This evening Ashley started a blog site for the Harding Family. Here are just a few pics I took at the reunion held on the Snake River. It was such a great place and we're sorry we were not able to attend many of the water activities. I think that Denice took some great pics on Saturday so we hope we will be able to view some of those, too. These are the cooks at work on Friday night. While dinner was cooking, some took courage to ride the log roll. Hope everyone is enjoying the Olympics. Opening ceremonies were awesome!




The Ellis Family


Our latest Family photo. Soon we will have to take another one so we can add Chase and Kori's little girl when she arrives
TUTORIAL: Creating a Google Account
If you do not have a Google Account - you will need to do so in order to post on the family blog. Go to this site to create your account -
GOOGLE ACCOUNT. It will ask you a few simple questions, and you'll be all taken care of!
TUTORIAL: Adding a picture to your post
If you want to add a picture to your blog post it is very easy.
First follow the steps to create a new blog post.
Before you publish the post you will click on the picture icon (which is the 3rd icon from the right).
Then a new window will open.
Click on the box that says "Browse". This will take you to your computer, where you will find the file that you want to upload. (Remember where you saved the picture - and look for it through the files. Generally people save their pictures in a folde under "My Pictures").
After you find the file you want to upload click on it and then click on "Save".
The file address will then be listed in the box that was blank.
If you want to add more than one picture - click on "Add another image" and then you will follow steps 4-6 again.
Then you can choose the layout that you want to use - choose if you want the picture to be centered, to the right or left, small, medium or large.
Finally click on upload image and the image will begin to load.
Once the image has loaded it will say, "Your image has been added". Click on "DONE" and the image should show up in your post. You will then save the post, and publish it.
TUTORIAL: Adding Comments
When you read someone's post and want to add comments to the post it is very simple. At the bottom of the post there will be a spot that will say "___# of Comments". Click on that, and it will take you to a comment section.
Type your comment into the comment box.
Type the "word verification" that you see.
Log-in so we will know who made the comment.
Click on "Publish your comment"
Viola! Your comment will be included!
TUTORIAL: Creating a new post
Log in to blogger at the main page:
http://www.blogger.com/ (to do this you will need a google username and password, which is easy to create. If you already have a blog with blogger, you will be able to use your same account to log-in).
In the "Blogger Dashboard" there should be a spot that says, "Manage Your Blogs". Under that there should be a listing of any blogs you contribute to. Our blog - "The Harding Family" should be listed.
Click on "New Post" under "The Harding Family".
Type in a title for your post.
Create your post in the spot provided. If you are just including text you just type in the box. It is just like most word processing programs, and you can change the text color, add lists, etc.
If you want to add pictures to your post you will click on the icon that is 3rd from the right, up on the top (it looks like a picture) - and walk through those steps. (I'll add another tutorial for that).
You can "Save Now", and publish it later - if you want to add to it, or aren't ready for it to show up on the blog for some reason. Generally you will click on "Save Now", and when you are done you will click on "Publish Post". After you click on "Publish Post" it will take you to a window and give you the option to "View Blog". Click on that, check out your post, and enjoy!
If you these instructions aren't clear - post in the comments, and we'll answer your questions
