Happy 35th Rusty!
We sure love this guy of ours! We had a great morning celebrating. The kids prepared a delicious breakfast of waffles topped with almond butter and strawberries and Josh made some yummy bacon. The kids worked hard on their cards and helped me pick out all his favorite treats and wrap them all up in…
Fort Collins Temple Cultural Celebration
The journey to the Cultural Celebration was an emotional roller coaster. So many lows, so many amazing highs. I’m still trying to process it all but one thing is for sure, it’s an experience I will never forget. I received a letter in March via email from George Rhodes, a member of the Seventy and…
Happy 13th Birthday, Halle!
We woke up and Donald Trump was the POTUS and Halle was a teenager. I’m not sure which of those things is the most unbelievable 😉 The whole city felt like it had a massive hangover. It was raining, and people were walking around with glazed expressions. It was really strange to see the entire…
Kid Dates
I think I’ve blogged about this before, but one of our favorite family traditions is “kid dates.” Each month one child gets an alone date, and the other two get a shared date. We do lots of fun things, and the kids enjoy that special one on one time with Mom and Dad. This month,…
February 2017 Recap
Erie hosted it’s first ever Choir Festival. 3 elementary schools and the the HS performed. It was so much fun, and their rendition of “Seize the Day” knocked it out of the park! Josh has really loved choir this year. Lots and Lots of reading going on on these cold winter nights. Reading with the…
Halloween 2012
This is the sole picture from Halloween 2012 with my two little ninjas and my magical Hermione.

My mom used to make my brothers hug each other in the middle of the family room for like a minute if they were fighting. Best punishment ever 🙂
We had to “kiss and make up” or go to time out. Parenting 101, I guess.
So I need to borrow your FHE lesson on being nice to each other. Landon and Dayton are currently grounded from everything due to fighting…..what’s wrong with me?? I’m a terrible parent!
Companies can misbehave too. Take a step towards transparency from the companies who profit from your blog writing by NOT writing April 15, 2010.
Let private companies like Lijit and public one’s like Google know: you know they have not been transparent about what they make from our blogs; what % they share with US, the people creating the content they use and re-sell at great profit.
If you can’t keep your fingers from working on April 15th, 2010, then ask companies like Lijit, Google, or any other currently profiting from you blog this basic question:
What do you make from my work? What % are you sharing with me?
Your UNION, P.U.B., Publisher’s Union of Bloggers, has asked these simple questions from companies such as Lijit and Google, and they have either not answered (Google) or used personal attacks and threatened legal action against P.U.B. and its members (Lijit).
Why? Google, Lijit, and other’s profiting from publishers plan on there being no power among independent, freethinking writers. 'They will never act as a group, never ask us to be transparent, we can pay them whatever we want, if anything'
Is your creative work worth asking this simple question?
Then ask it, April 15th, 2010, and tell your publishing peers to ask for it too.
Keep up the good work,
Barney
