Check out what I stumbled upon : )
UPDATE: DO NOT USE THIS RECOMMENDATION. Someone pointed out to me a few minutes ago that some pages on my site were not working. I immediately thought of this because it was the most recent change I had made to my site. I went and deleted the page I had the photo gallery on, and now my site is in working order again.
I tried out a photo gallery plug-in and it was not ideal or what I had in mind. It would not let me add multiple photos at one time. So of course I Googled and I stumbled across a site called Cincopa. Took me less than 5 minutes to create a photo gallery and all I had to do was embed a code into my site.
I created this page mainly for family and friends to check up on us because I'm not one to put pics on Facebook.

Thanks for sharing Cincopa! I may be able to use that. You have a beautiful family. Loved all the pics and the kids, but your tiny black-haired boy stood out. He has quite the sparkle in those eyes!!!
Thank you and yes he does. He almost died a few months ago. I realized in those weeks that he was a fighter. He fought for his life, and that sparkle you see is his determination. He sings all the time, and memorizes lines from commercials and his favorite shows. He can read too at 2 years of age. I didn't teach him this, I'm still trying to figure out but I do know he has an obsession with the alphabet and phonics sounds. Yet I can't get my 6 year old to want to learn to read : (
Every child is different. My oldest was a proficient reader at 5. His little sister read at 3. The boy in the middle didn't read till 7 or 8 because he was embarrassed being in between two readers. Now they're all grown up but he is a lifetime reader. Kids learn at their own pace.
That's exactly why I don't force it on her because I want her to enjoy reading when she does start reading. My oldest is almost 9 now, but she attended school for 2 years. She had a horrible reading experience because it was forced on her before she was really ready, now I have a child who CAN read, but doesn't read much because she hates it.
Hi! Thanks for sharing finding the photo gallery plugin, and you have a beautiful and well set up website, so family inspired. God bless always.
Great photo gallery, beautiful kids and dog. I was waiting to see you jumping on the trampoline lol. Thanks for sharing:)
I do jump on it but nobody ever takes pictures of me lol. My girls like to take pictures, but that usually involves the 2 year old begging to hold the camera. After 2 or 3 cameras broken or messed up, that's just not an option right now. But his birthday is coming in a couple weeks, so I may get him his own little kiddie camera .
I hear you lol. You really do have a beautiful family, God Bless you all:) And have your husband take your picture the next time lol:)
Thanks for the information. It is very good.
What is the size of the pictures? How many pixels? Thanks.
This was created using their platform and I just embedded the code. Wordpress has some photo gallery plugins that I'm still looking into, but the one I tried was just too slow bc it wouldn't let me add more than one image at a time. I'm sure you could make them clickable links if they are added using the Wordpress editor.
Happy bunch of kids and a good looking dog! Looks like you have a great crew there! Nice way you work in the Word too!
Yes and in the Dance Party pics. There are like 6 or 7 photos in there where they are having a dance party. Alot of times we just do it spontaneously because we keep the radio on. if it isn't up it is playing quietly in the background. So when a good song comes on that they like they crank it up.
Thanks Steve. It seemed to chop off a little of the edges though, so some of the heads have been cut off a little but that's ok. I don't think anyone would notice much unless they are a professional photographer lol
