I was about to update this page with some of what's happening with Jon and Jen, but the more I thought about it, the more I asked myself why?
Why should we blog? Obviously, we have not been good at this. Our last post talked about Eli at a few weeks old...we celebrated his first birthday this week.
Sure our baby is cute(very very cute actually), but is it blogworthy?
I have opinions. Politics, religion, pop-culture, etc. but does anyone really want to know what I think?
My brother Todd has a blog. I stop by about once a week and it is a truly enjoyable read (http://www.regularguylife.blogspot.com/). So blogging is definitely good for some people. I'm just not sure we have the time or the energy to keep up with something like this. We are just your average suburb mormons living an average suburb mormon life. There is nothing incredibly interesting, newsworthy, or earthshaking about our lives. It is a very good life, sure, but who wants to read about it? If I were you (whoever you are) I probably wouldn't.
So...if there is anyone out there in cyberspace who can give me any reason why we shouldn't delete this blog, please comment and I will duly consider. Yours Truly,
Jon

Don't delete it! Just start blogging again, and it's SO easy to do. Jen takes such cute pics that it'd be a piece of cake to blog for y'all. It's an awesome journal of important events! If I find myself wondering, "when DID Liz get her first tooth?"...all I have to do is look back on my blog! You can print them to a book too! Plus, when my family leaves in a few months I want to be able to know what is going on with y'all. Now I only find out through you personally and we don't see each other very often cough cough.It's so much nicer to keep everyone informed this way so you don't have to do SO much catching up when you see each other again. PLUS it makes for easy holiday "newsletters"....just resend your address to your close fam and friends and get people visiting again. I love seeing you guys blog. You're funny! Have you visited my blog too? Not just todd's? I blog at least once a week. Don't delete your blog though, just restart. You can do a few "catch up posts" for BIG events like his first birthday and maybe some big holiday things...or just START with his first birthday. You will be grateful for it, IF you keep up with it. If you need help restyling stuff etc, just ask. It's easy! You'll be happy for it in the long run! My blog is about 3 1/2 years old. Yay for blogs!
Delete it. You should delete your Facebook account as well. All of this social networking is bad for humanity. Blogging is lame. It just gives you a reason to talk about yourself and make you feel important. "Ooh, 4 people looked at my blog today!! I am rally moving up in popularity!" Or change it to private and use it as a journal.
were you being sarcastic retep? just because you guys have had a bad experience with it? and it makes me sad to think you are just thinking it's a "ooo look at me i'm so popular" type thing. there are better reasons to do it, like keeping in touch with people in a quick and easy way! i don't care how many people see mine, i just care about being in touch with everyone.
That is why there are telephones. If people really care, they will check on you in real life, not in cyberland. People can write whatever they want online. You could write "Life is great!!" but are really so depressed you neglect your personal hygiene. You can't get a "real" feel for how someone is really doing. A blog is good for journaling, but there are things you would like to keep to yourself and a public blog is just that.. public. I am just not a big fan of telling the world "Look what I am doing." or "Look who I know." or "I am soooo cool." This does not apply to you, Z. Your blog is nice. Its just redundant. I talk to you enough and see you enough to know that stuff already.
That'll change in a few months and we all know nobody calls just to "check" on each other. Do you know how often I get a call from ANY of my brothers...yeah hardly ever. I still say blogging is great,you just need to be careful with the things you post and if you're worried do private!
