tortilla maker

i am just trying this new blog look out.
what i wanted (when i ended up ruining my old layout) was bigger pictures. i think i got it. they are huge. but i think i like it?
i ran out of room on my free flickr account months ago and was losing pictures. so i switched to photobucket and the photo comes in one size. big. so i got what i wanted. i just want to know how to keep this size photo and keep the width of the column but be able to choose a cute background. Anyone out there know any of those tricks?? i'm all ears :)

lately sophia and i have been making homemade tortilla's. it is so simple. i quite possibly could eat homemade tortilla's all day long and need nothing else. ok maybe some butter to go with them. when i was growing up my birthday dinner was always my mom's homemade bean burritos. they are amazing. i am passing on the tradition to sophia. she is such a little helper when i bake and she loves to sprinkle the flour out onto the counter and roll out her own tortilla. i love cooking with her. i could do without the huge mess of flour left on the counters when we are done however.

chris captured a picture of us the other day. and although it is not a great photo it still captures a moment that i will always remember.
me and my tortilla maker.




we will be heading to kimberley to meet sophia's great grandma who is arriving from the philippines. it is going to be a great little family reunion. sophia is very excited. we will also be stopping into Calgary for a few days on our way home. we will be staying with friends. i am very excited to be able to see our friends for a few days. looking very much forward to our little trip. we will have lots to catch up on once we are back. see you soon!
