Summer in Utah
The kids are going to blog about the main events of the summer, so I’ll take everything else! First and foremost, meeting baby Cyrus! We’ve all been anticipating this day. And it didn’t disappoint. He is the cutest human on the face of the earth. Happy 4th of July! And Happy Birthday Jhena! We had…
Sunday in San Fran
When Blake first saw the church he said, “Hey! They copied us!” LOL! This is Josh taking over the blog again and I’m going to tell you all about Sunday. First we took a Lyft to church. It was sort of like our church at home. But the whole primary got together to do opening…
Birthday Month
Nov is always a fun month at the Banks house as we celebrate the birth of two out of the three cutest kids ever born. Josh turned 6 and Halle turned 9. The festivities start with Josh. He was the happy recipient of lots of legos, a razor scooter and cold hard CASH. Later in…
September recap
It has been a beautiful month! I love fall with its cool mornings and warm afternoons. It makes everything feel right. The month began with a trip to Yaya orchards. Unfortunately, most of the orchard was wiped out this spring from all the rain. But we still got to go on a tractor ride, pick…
My cute Soccer Guy
Josh played soccer for the first time this year, and much to my surprise, he loved it! They had practices twice a week for 6 weeks, and played games on the weekend for the last 3 weeks. He called them his “Big Games.” It was so fun to go cheer him on and watch his…
Stanford
Thursday morning Tara and I took the car to the golden gate park for a tempo run. We were both kind of tired and maybe tired of running so the conversation was tough. We just focused on running and ended up running the whole thing very fast, faster than our goal pace. Afterwards since we…

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,
