The Bloggies (by Sean and Steph)

We love our blog,  We love that you love our blog.  We equally love all of your blogs!  We've made quite a hobby of checking them everyday, reading about your lives, laughing at your stories, smirking at your wit, and taking in all your pictures.  Therefore, this post is dedicated to celebrating our fellow bloggers with the first annual Bloggie Awards.  Yes, you read it correctly, we love each of your blogs for so many reason that we thought we'd (presume to) present our bloggin' buddies with their very own Bloggie.  (I know you didn't even hear of your nominations, and I'm sorry to say the cash prize is significantly less than winning the Noble Prize, however I'm sure you'd all agree the prestige is no less).  We now present the Bloggies for the calendar year of 2007.

Exciting Template Bloggie: Ali and Jeff 
Hip music, ever changing creativity, and glorious lists and links earned Ali and Jeff their first ever Bloggie.

Forever Family Bloggie: DJ, Jessi, Annica, and Eli
Heartwarming stories and detailed updates that never leave you in the dark and always make you feel a part of the family brought the Andersons this Bloggie treat.

Get You More Smarter Bloggie: Chris 
This well-earned Bloggie is the result of enthralling tidbits (complete with video footage and photos) encompassing everything from dark matter and the expanding universe to WIMPS and Donny Osmond.

The Alpha Blogger Bloggie: Rachel
Great pictures, posting dedication beyond compare, and the celebration of life through everyday moments brought the Holloways this coveted Bloggie.

Marco Polo Bloggie: Katie
This elusive Bloggie could only be awarded to one who's travels (from Alaska to Costa Rica) nearly equal that of the Bloggie's namesake.

Keep You On Your Toes Bloggie: Nicole, Alma, and Jagger
Watch out on this blog... new posts that are too good to be missed might slip past your notice in between two posts you've already read.  The pictures, movies, recipes, and mix of sentimental and say-it-like-it-is posts keep you on your toes!

Van Gogh Bloggie: Summers Camp
Beth's great artistic eye and intrinsic aesthetic sense made her a shoe-in for this Bloggie.

Yummiest Bloggie: Tiffany
Her inside scoop and dish on the delicious would make even Betty Crocker blush.

Amelia Earhart Bloggie: Tim and Sandy
Some might wonder if this blog disappeared somewhere over the Pacific... keep an eye out for its much anticipated return.

Girls Just Want to Have Fun Bloggie: Jessica
Ballerinas, tutus, princesses, singing solos, dance shows, and a world of pink and the Wyeths still have us beggin' for more.  Looks like you're outnumbered Ben!

Blast From the Past Bloggie: Amanda, Melinda, Adam, and the Wolfleys
This Bloggie goes to the aforementioned recipients for proving that blogging brings people together.

So to all of you... Congratulations!  We love your blogs for so many more reasons than listed above.   Thanks for sharing.

It was fun! Your Bloggie is definately something like 'always something new and exciting'. I love checking out your blog and seeing your energy and joy and there is ALWAYS something unexpected in it! Thanks for putting up the bloggies. For those who I know, I totally agree with the awards!

Chris said...

I can't believe I won a Bloggie! It's a dream come true! Though truth be said... I think your blog is the best of the best, the creme de la creme of the blog-o-sphere. You've got a blogging gift. I check it nearly every day.

Amanda said...

Wow! Thanks for the recognition!

Steph, you always come up with the funnest things. I always come to yours to be entertained.

...and I know "funnest" isn't correct, but "most fun" just didn't sound right.

Blog?...We had a blog?...I have a vague memory of a blog...Nevertheless, it is an honor to accept our Bloggie and want to thank all the little people who made this possible. We will proudly display it on our mantle beside our autographed photo of David Hasselhoff. Thank you so much! Mom & Dad (wiping away grateful tears)

Wow. I am flabbergastedly flattered! I'm definitely going to have to show my bloggie off. Not only all over the world wide web, but in every room of my house. Yup, even the bathroom. That way everyone can see what a wonderful friend I have!

On another note, let's do be exercise buddies! I'll work on coming up with some "routines" tomorrow. Oughta be a good way to spend the Sabbath. You're chalk full of ideas Stephers! I've needed you and your help since, well, since the before times! I miss you. And I'll keep you posted on how we can both exercise our faith. *B
