I thought it only fitting that the first post to the roberts family blog be the emails that were sent back and forth about naming our blog. By the way you guys were hopeless in choosing a name so I exercised my right as a 1st child to pull rank and choose the one I liked. Being first does have its perks sometimes.
Here you go...
Jan--I have not heard from any of you in a long time and am missing my bros and sis. I took a class on blogging not to long ago (I know this is old technology but it takes me a while to catch up) and I was wondering if you guys would cooperate with a Roberts family blog. My thoughts were that we each get on it about once a month and share thoughts/ pictures, what's going on in our lives, or just chat back an forth like we do occasionally with emails. I will set it up. It will be an invite only set up so not just anyone can visit/ comment on it. I'd like input about what to name it. I know you probably think this is a little dorky but i miss chatting with you guys and knowing what is going on with your lives.
Chip--you hear from me on a daily basis what are you talking about?
Steve--How bout the "everyone got married so now only Mel, Mike and Steve can legitimately call themselves Roberts--- family blog"
Amy--Sure...I'm in. I've cc'd Roger, though I am not sure he'll participate all that often. He's not much of a joiner.
Here are some suggestions:
The Oral Roberts's
The Roberts Family Writers
The Bloggerts Family
The John and Jenny Survivors Page
Amy Roberts Page...and The Others
Six Degrees of Relation Separation
Notes from the Budd Lake Blog Pond
Glenside Pride
The Tenzing Norgay Fan Page
Don't be a hater...what suggestions you clowns got?
Dad--Im glad to see I have succeeded in educating you on some topics of import such as who was the sherpa with Hillary on mans first successful conquest of Everest. Now for the advanced quiz. What was his birth name?
Steve--You just out-nerded yourself.
Sara--Dad - you are wounding me. Jan, great idea - I will really try but I am pretty lazy these days so not making any promises. Amy, I liked your suggestions. I could only think of names that have to do with wetting the bed -- no idea what made me think of that... what was the name of those shock mats mom and dad made us sleep on? That might be a good name...
Steve--the Electric Buzz beaters
Jan--Okay. You guys are making me laugh so much that I almost peed my pants. Maybe the name should have something to do with that problem we all seem to have. I didn't realize everyone got to use the buzzer bed. I thought only a select few of us got to use it. So far my favorites are the last 3 On Amy's list although. Any other votes?
steve--Wait... did I get a hand-me-down electric buzzer blanket. That is not only unfair, it is probably really unhygienic. I have literally slept in the urine of my siblings.
Amy--What about: Notes From the Bedwetting Blogosphere
Brad--Oh, wait - late write-in entry. What about the "I Love NAET" blog?
Jan--okay--should we flog Brad for trying to submit a late entry and then let it in? Brad I am assuming that is your vote.
brad--Yep. Possibly with a heart in place of "Love".
Steve--Actually the cool thing to do now is to write out "heart"....So it would be the "I heart NAET blog"
Amy--How about the NAETONATORSPHERE Just to give it a real futuristic vibe?!??
She tried so hard.
Pooped
My favorite park was Animal Kingdom. For some reason I don't have any pictures of that park (pop pop was with us that day and I think he was designated picture taker and he has not sent me the pictures yet). By far the best ride at that park was Expedition Everest but my favorite experience of our vacation was at this park--It was Lion King. Finally we went to Epcott. This was Nikki's favorite park. She loved going to the countries. My least favorite rides were at this park but Soarin a simulated Hang glide ride was my favorite ride of all the parks. 
Olivia's Favorite princess. 
by far Olivia's favorite Character.
