Is this blog thing really for me?

So, I have been thinking lately that I am not really sure if this blog thing is worth it? Kind of feel like it is my own little station tuned just to me... slightly egotistical... don't ya think? Anyway, haven't decided yet. I am also always plagued by my father when I do ANYTHING on the internet as to how safe and how much info is being released. I love having him in my head like my own personal angel/demon. Him on one shoulder reminding me how dangerous the internet is and how personal info can be stolen/pictures of your kids leaked and me on the other shoulder wanting to show off my kids and keep in the loop. If I start swinging a fly swatter around I have NOT gone crazy... hehe, well, maybe.
I will keep thinking on this. I love to read everyone's blog, and Lord knows I like to talk/type and post pics of my adorable trio... I just haven't decided. I have done the same thing with Facebook. I keep vacillating, To have or have not... a facebook account?
Well, obviously since I am making a post the little me on my shoulder has successfully fly swatted the little "helpful dad" on the other shoulder. I am posting just some recent pics before I lose my footing on my shoulder and the fly swatter comes after me.


We are now officially rolling over. Hard to believe. Didn't I just have her?


Ikee talked GGPa into feeding him. I think it was the big blue eyes that did GGPa in.


One happy mama.


Ikee had to get in on the action. He actually did pretty good, for a boy.


She was actually yelling at Ikee. Crack me up.


I think he is looking more and more like Jeff everyday.

It's gonna be an adventure around here once these two get older.
OK, last one. Couldn't help myself.

  1. I hope you continue but the points your dad makes are valid. As far as being egotistical, I supose it depends on why you write it. I dont blog for others(except Tims family, they appreciate it) but as a way to keep track of milestones, family fun ect. I dont scrapbook so this is a good way for me to keep track of it all. You can have your blog printed into books, which is what I plan to do. Once I have the extra money. Then all these memories will be in a book to look back on. I have been convicted lately to get rid of my facebook, but I feel like I would miss out on everything and no longer be connected to people.
    PS: I really do enjoy the pictures of your beautiful children

  2. Hey, Kate! Your daughters both look so much like you (and each other), and Isaac does look more like Jeff as far as I can tell. I love Bren's curls.

    I don't blog because I can't think of anything interesting enough to write about. I tried once when we first got married but didn't stick with it very long. I do love reading other people's blogs, though. I think there needs to be caution when posting things online, obviously, but I'm personally not worried about the photos I post of my kids (they are all appropriate) or any "personal" information that is "out there" about me. I mean, most of what you can find online about me is stuff you can look up in public record, right? My husband's name, birth announcements in the newspaper, etc. I'm not sure if any of the info about me online is "stolen" that it will cause any problems or be bothersome. (Now, I have had my credit card number stolen after I made an online purchase, but that's not really what we're talking about here). I don't know, maybe I'm naive...

    Anyway, I hope you keep posting!

  3. Hi Kate! I found your blog through Facebook (don't worry, it was a post on your page) and it's so fun to see the updates about your family! I can hardly believe you have three kiddos already... and Bren looks SO MUCH LIKE YOU.

    I know people who have invitation-only blogs, and I think you can have password-protected blogs too. People can e-mail you to get an invite, but it isn't open to the world. I'm not sure how all of the logistics work for that.

    I'm with Kristen -- I hope you keep posting! Thanks for being you! :-)
