Happy Birthday Blog!!!!

Happy Birthday Blog! Yes, that's right, it was a year ago today that Emily created The Kids Were All Wright. Here is a little list of things the blog likes:

Top Five posts
Sundays With Sue
Random comments from Pops
Happy Birthday Posts
Word verifications that make us laugh and/or think
The new SWS winner playlist feature

It's hard to believe it's been a year, and in a way, it's hard to believe it's only been a year! In one year we have done 254 posts. That averages out as a post every 1.43 days! (if I did my math right). I love the blog and love how it has become such a fun way for us all to communicate. I love how the blog was originally going to be just for movie and book reviews/recommendations, and has turned into total random posts with the occasional movie and book review. Let's keep it up! The only downfall for me is that the internet nanny at my work is so hardcore I can't get on the blog at work. But, I can access my personal email and I sit there and giggle at the comments that come in.

Happy Birthday!!!!

Love you!!! Kissess!!!!

I used to read and hear about internet blog and didn't know what a blog was or how it worked until a year ago and you started our family blog. That tells you what a low-tech moron I am. But now, WOW, I am a big blog guy. Only on our family one. I agree with Sue about the blog and the communication that goes on with the fam. Too bad mom doesn't get with it more. I get her to read some of the funnier postings and comments, but she won't log on or read it on her own. A project there for the next months, maybe. Love doing this while listening to American Pie and Riders. We are putting new carpet in Matt & Bs new bedroom tonight. Lot's of fun around here these days.

Kissess back to you, Sue

Very cool! Love this blog and how fun it has been to get to know all of you better through this. I have a wonderful extended family--very cool, bright, opinionated cousins (and their spouses) and uncle and aunt and sisters (which reminds me, why the heck isn't Sharon on this much? at all?). Thanks for letting me participate! It's definitely a highlight of my day reading the posts and giving back a bit of grief from time to time. Love you!!! Kisses!!!!

Yay! Happy birthday blog! I'm glad you kept track and figured out it's birthday Sue, the blog certainly deserves a happy birthday post. Ditto on the sentiments of how fun it's been communicating on here and getting to know everyone better (even my siblings (and dad), you get little insights one didn't know before). It would be fun if mom was on here, I think she would enjoy it.
This blog has morphed into more a George and the Fern Zippys then a Kids Were All Wright blog, but it would be confusing and unnecessary to have two. I like it just the way it is.

ps, little did I know when I started the blog that on it's first birthday I would be giving birth to another little girl in a day or two. YAY!

Speaking of birthdays, today is Alex's birthday, too! Don't know if everyone knows what he's going these days, so here's a quick update. He's down in Zion's leading trail rides right now. Has worked as a water tender on three of the big brush fires this season, too. Enjoying life but also thinking about going back to school Winter quarter. Hope everyone has him on FB. His updates are often pretty entertaining!

Good luck, Em! See you soon, El!

Happy Birthday blog! And happy 22nd birthday to Alex, we are just a couple weeks apart. That video of us as babies is cute! Anyway, can't believe it has been a year!! And Grandpa, I didn't know what a blog was either until about a year and a half ago! Well, it has been a fun year of blogging, I love getting to know all of you better and laughing at all our comments. I think the comments are most of the fun!

I didn't realize the blog was turning one until Sunday when I did the SWS post. I saw that it was post 231 and was curious how long the blog had been around. So I looked it up and was happy it was the blog's bday in a few days!

We have had some hilarious conversations on this thing. I still like the name George and the Fern Zippy's.

Haley said...

Me too!

I had no idea what a blog was either. This has been so great! I agree with everyone's comments. I look forward to checking it every day. I'm glad that Dan & Jeanine have joined us, too. It would be nice if we could get Mom & Ben to be more consistent participants.

Thanks to you all for the laughs and the fun. Speaking of word verifications..."sperm"...what the BIP!!

Sue said...

huh huh, huh huh huh, you said sperm.


(sorry my lame attempt at a Beavis and Butthead impersonation.)

Dan W said...

Good impersonation but needed to indicate shoulders going up an down in rhythm with the "huhs"....

[Hadn't thought of those fine fellows in a long time! Not sure I'm grateful for the reminder!]

Happy Birthday, Blog. You've been so much fun to have. And there's a cute little slice of birthday cake on the dashboard. Did someone add that or did it just happen in the great and mysterious blogosphere?

Neaners said...

Thanks for letting me join. I really enjoy it too. Everyone is so eloquent in their thoughts. I am not a very good writer. Fortunately I don't have to do much of it in my job, instead I empty bedpans. LOL. I love what I do and feel so very fortunate everyday to have such a stable career in these difficult economic times.

Amy said...

Glad you've joined in, too, Jeanine. It's been great. Bless you and all nurses for your compassion.

Hey everybody! I'm back. I feel bad that I haven't participated very much lately. Things have been a little crazy. I'm going to be more active with this cool blog from now on. I had a great time at Lake Tahoe. I'll see if I can post some pictures when I get them.

Amy said...

Welcome back Ben! We'd love to hear about Lake Tahoe.
