Well, it has been a whole year that I have been blogging now!! Happy Blog Birthday to me! I started it last September, in hopes of journaling our life. I kept that going, and will still do that- if not just for my enjoyment, but for yours, and my future posterity. That sounded a bit deep... okay, really it's just for me, but whatever.
Here is that first post- with no pictures, since I was just getting started:

Chapter 1
Today I am officially a blogger! Though I have no idea what that means or entails, I feel a bit happy! I think it will help me collect my random thougths and with journal keeping, but who knows, perhaps it will be a forum for whatever comes to mind, which could be anything and that sounds frightening!It is Tuesday, the 25th of September and it is still so crazy hot here! I am so ready for fall to begin- got lots of fun clothes for the girls and for me too! I am excited to decorate for Halloween and put out the fallish stuff- it is just crazy that my air conditioning is running today!!Celeste is napping, which is when I will probably post these random thoughts and Leah is playing in the other room for her "quiet time". Alex and Dana, are of course at school. I usually spend this time resting myself, and reading, today I will count the Ensign as my scripture reading! Seriously, I will!Well, I am going to finish up here, try not to get too excited for the end- it is just as non exciting as the beginning of this blog...
PS- I got ZERO comments!!

I blogged first about going to the apple orchard and picking apples with Celeste and some friends. Hard to believe it has been a whole year since that first post and we are going to pick apples there tomorrow! Here are some pics of last year and the difference in the kids now...I will put new pics up tomorrow: (The original post only had 5 pictures uploaded, since I didn't even know you could just keep adding- my, have I learned some stuff in this past year!!)

And this one warranted ONE comment- that was Autumn- so grateful for that one reader!! She is still a fan, luckily- she is awesome!
Now that my first year was published, I will probably get started on this year- and will be anxious to see how different it will be from the first year. Thanks for following along with me- I love it!!

For the first few years of my blog I rarely got a comment and if I did it was from my mother. It wasn't until about 2 1/2 years that anyone commented. It used to make me so sad. I always appreciate a comment too. My first commenter was my mom and she didn't make the comment until the blog had been up for a few months. It was sad.
I really enjoy reading your blog and learning more about you and your family. I am grateful for the "peer pressure" that finally got me to do one too. It is so much fun! Wow-your kids have really grown! What great pictures! :) Have a blast picking apples!!
That's right...I remember you telling me you had started a blog when I picked up my kids from your house on my way home from the hospital. I would have commented had I known you started one.
Happy Blogoversary!
Blogging is so great. Thanks to you and a few other great blogger friends who encouraged me to start one. I'm so grateful to have all these memories documented!
