Having some blogging doubts. Does anyone read this thing? Am I just talking to myself when I write these ridiculous posts?
Thinking of taking a major break from the blog. If you read this silly old thing and enjoy it let me know in the comments. (You can write a comment without a blogger account.) Otherwise you may not hear from me for awhile. If you do like the blog, what do you like about it? What do you want to hear more about? I am having trouble lately thinking of things to "blog" about.
In the meantime here are a few pics from our Christmas break. It was like a fantasy land. It was awesome. We stayed up late every night watching Christmas movies. For some reason I don't feel so bad about frying my kids brains with tv when they are Christmas movies. That and I like watching Will Ferrell dressed up as a huge Elf. :)
Punk 3 was acting like one of the Chimpanzees that you see at the zoo picking bugs off of another chimp. He kept inspecting Punk 1's hair and beating him on the head. Pretty funny!

I love reading your posts! I'm a blog stalker, never leave comments, but I do check back often to see if there's anything new. I have 3 young boys as well, desperately wanted a girl but God had other plans for me. Anyway, I enjoy seeing how you handle your 3 boys! Also, my youngest (21 mos.) has those exact same jammies your boys have on in the pictures. Too cute!
I'm not very good at keeping a scrapbook for my kids, so I kind of view my blog as a way to remember those details that I would otherwise put in a scrapbook. I'm sure you have a lot of folks that love to read along too. But ultimately if you think it's a good way to document their childhooods and your family life, then keep it up!
Yes! Please keep blogging! I love seeing all your pics, especially all your birthday ideas you come up with! I would love to see pics of your house on here some day! You talk about it, but I would love to see pics of it! We follow you!
You had better not stop blogging or we're SOOO in a fight. :) Hey, you got me started on this thing, you can't bail now!! I love seeing all the craziness of the Tonagel family in pictures. Especially since I usually only see your entire family once a year. Hmmm, favorite posts....Ben making fun of your "interesting" soup ideas, Ben's "amazing" painting jobs, your boys running naked in the corn field (did that even happen???), and of course, Baby Name surveys!!! I am thinking Zebediah...ha! Seriously, don't stop. Maybe just cut back to once a week if it's too much. Love you!!!!!
I love keeping up with your blog! Don't get rid of it! I like how you have it now, kind of a mix of things. I like the family updates, random thoughts/opinions, fun family outings, and lots of pictures! You don't have to do a long, detailed post always (I know how this can be so time consuming) but a picture here and there with a caption is fun too!
I'm with Holly in that this is a way for me to document our family and our kids' childhoods. For Christmas this year, my sisters printed off my blog in a hard-back book form and I love browsing through it!
My opinion--keep the blog going!
YES! KEEP BLOGGING! It's a great way to keep up with you and the fam. Plus it is great reading material while I pump :)
I feel the same way about blogging - rarely do I get comments but then I run into someone who tells me that really enjoy my blog. -Ellen
Are you CRAZY!? You are like blogger-woman-extraordinaire! You better keep this up. If you don't think anyone is reading your blog, check out mine/Mal's haha ;)
Oh also, if you stop blogging how will I be able to see my nephews grow? I live for these pictures! You have to continue for us out-of-staters.
Please keep blogging Amanda, it helps me to remember not only that my kids are normal LOL but how fun it is to have 3 boys of my own!!!! Love your blog and keeping up on whats new with the Tonagel family :)
I love reading your posts! As a first time mom, I get many ideas for activites, traditions, recepies and much more by reading great blogs like yours! If it wasn't for your blog I might not have found the pioneeer women website!
Thanks for sharing! And I bet there are tons of people out there who reads your blog and are too shy to comment. So here I am, not being shy and commenting to let you know that your blog is being read! :)
You need to keep it.. maybe just take a break?? I always read it! I'm your #1 fan. =)
I didn't realize you had a blog until now..and I've gotta say, You do such an amazing job! You are so creative and artsy...Ben is lucky to have such an amazing partner in life. As you are to have such a wonderful, loving family to be a part of. Keep it up, girl!
This is where all your stalker friends come of of the woodwork! I enjoy reading your blog, need to copy those squash ideas down and love the pics!
Definitely keep blogging! Enjoy seeing the boys grow up and doing neat things around the house and farm! Just seeing the normalcy of life(?) is fantastic. I'm in awe of your creativity and writing skills-really!
I think the question is, who WOULDN'T want to read your blog??? :)
I don't comment, but I read your blog. So, add me to the list of blog stalkers. I like the cute pictures of the boys...especially in corn and by tractors.
If you feel like you don't have readers, try having a private blog...then you KNOW you barely have any readers. :)
From, a neighbor...the one that doesn't make you nervous when you see her walking back into the house after getting the mail. :)
Absolutely don't stop blogging; I feel more connected with you all by each blog you do, since we don't live in the same town. Plus it's the only way I get pictures!!

Hey, Amanda! Sooo understand if you would like to take a break from blogging! You are a busy Mom and photographer! That being said I LOVE your blog and check it often. It always makes my day to read a new post from you. You have such a talent for writting and photography, put them both together and you are one awesome blogger! I love to read about and see all the fun you guys have. Also love to watch your boys grow and be able to stay intouch with you guys this way! Truly is a ray of sunshine in my day!

I read it, I read it!! Please don't stop. I love the funny stories and just everyday life "things". Your pictures are great!!

I agree with the others who have posted - so a great Big DITTO!
It helps keep in touch with a family I am very fond of. I enjoyed watching the Tonagel 4 boys grow up and will enjoy watching yours too...
Please take care of yourself, we will adjust to whatever time schedule you set.... :-)
Your blog is on my favorites tab and I check it regularly. It's nice to read stories from other moms and know I'm not alone. :)
I enjoy your blog and feel more connected to you especially since we don't live near each other. It's fun to see how your family is growing. I say, keep it up!
I've had fun following your blog since you first sent me links to some of your posts! I always enjoy reading blogs from fellow women and moms. I can count on the cute pictures and stories of the boys to be good for a laugh or grin! Oh, and I've never had twenty-some comments on any of my blog posts so accept this nice little ego boost and keep on writing, woman! :) (p.s. Even during the times I suspect no one's reading my blog, i.e. all the time, I feel happy knowing I'm recording little stories about my boys that I would probably otherwise forget.) *Keep blogging!*
Apparently you had a temporary moment of insanity~OF COURSE you should keep blogging! I hope once the crazy has subsided, you'll read all the comments and understand that we all still want you here :)
Yep....I'm a fan!! I'm a "follower" so of course when you got a new one up, I always read it! It's fun entertaining stuff!! I'm in a blogging slump myself, and feel I don't really have funny things to share, and basically just put up pictures when there's new ones. whoopie=P So you're doing a good job! Keep it up!!
I love reading it since I don't get to see you guys much anymore! It helps me keep 'connected' to you. I also love getting your food, cooking, and craft ideas!
Your blog is awesome! Don't stop, I love the things you write about, because I can see your personality coming out in what you say. You can write about anything and everything and you make it interesting to read. Keep it up, it's fun for all of us to read!
