And some more...

This one I call "Annelise and the Head"

"Level 2" blogging...photos!

Here are a few pics I took on our nutty weekend. There seems to be a limit to how many I can upload per post, so I guess I'll create new posts to put more pics on.

Look out, I think I am blogging...

If I somehow figured out how to do this, I amaze myself. This is really just a test to see if I'm as cool as I think I am. Speaking of, yesterday Luke and I went to the health department to get our flu shots, and he didn't cry at all. I couldn't believe it. Afterwards, I said "Luke, you are awesome," to which he replied, very matter-of-factly, "I AM awesome." It was hilarious.

Okay, so if this works, I am going to try to upload some pictures next. And you all have to follow in my footsteps, because if I can do this, anyone can. Well, maybe anyone but Mel. Ha ha ha ha!!!

Love and kisses,
JBR

How to Blog

You guys should've each gotten an email from Blogger that tells you your log on info to blogger so that we can get back on the Nutty Blog.

Once you recover your username and password (it may force you to set up a google mail account), you can start blogging!!

Here's some simple instructions on how to do it:
1 - Log in to https://www.blogger.com/start
2 - It should take you to a page labelled "Dashboard" with a list of your blogs. Could be only the Nutties or perhaps you have others
3 - In The Nutties section, you will see links to View Blog or New Post.
4 - To post a new blog entry, click on "New Post"
5 - Put in a title such as "How to Blog"
6 - In the compose tab, start typing.
7 - When you have spoken your mind, click on "Publish Post"
8 - VOILA!! You are a blogger

More advanced techniques:

*Add tags to your post such as reunion or babies by typing words separated by commas in the "Labels for this post" field at the bottom of the Compose tab. Tags allow us to then look at all posts related to a topic regardless of when we posted them.
* Add pictures to your post by clicking on the landscape icon in the Compose pane. That will bring up another window for you to upload a picture. Like so:

When you upload the picture, it pops it into your Compose pane and let's you move it around and resize it with your mouse. Cool.

* You can also add video by clicking on the icon that looks like film and uploading a video clip...like so:

Oh, and I enabled comment verification so that we won't get spam like we did on my last posting.

Nutty Men 7 Nutty Women 8

I spoke to Carrie recently about my concern that Nutty Men are very close to outnumbering Nutty Women. I am not counting significant others at this point because we would have lost this battle a long time ago. With 4 nutty husbands and 3 male nutlettes, we are in a crisis, ladies. Seriously. So with Sarah's #2 quickly approaching, we have little time left to perform any and all rituals to force a female nutlette out of her belly.

Strategy #1 - Wear more skirts and frilly things.
I feel that by projecting a more feminine aura across the globe, we could make the lil' one in Sarah's belly understand that being a girl can be fun, flirty and stylish.

Strategy #2 - Cheer for the women!
Stop watching male sports and tune in to ESPN4829423874 to watch the women strut their stuff. I have recently seen some great bowlers and pool sharks who are much cuter than the old vest wearing types to which we have become accustomed. If a sport is coed, feel free to tune in as long as you are cheering for Danica or Michelle. Unfortunately, we will have to wait a while to see the WNBA.

Strategy #3 - Stop doing math.
As we all know, women are bad at math, so stop doing it. By straining your brain to perform such difficult feats, you will send a bad female vibe to de Rivaz #2. Just use your calculator, ladies.

I am open to any other strategies that are proposed, so please, let's work together here.


*Disclaimer: We will love nutlette #4 if he is a boy just as much as we will if she is a girl...but WOE to the male nutlette #5.
