New look

So here’s the new look for thunkgeek.com. It’s the Fluid Blue theme. I have to get a couple of bits and pieces working, but for now I think it looks pretty good.
Chevon’s Blog
Chevon has just barely started up her blog at http://chevon.baylessfamily.org/. Here posts are also showing up in the All in the Family section at right.

Ok so I do have something to write about. James has been working on finishing the bathroom in our basement. He had all the drywall tools in a bucket of water to clean them and they still had drywall compound all over them. Savanna saw this as an opportunity for fun! I think James was putting music on his Ipod and I was feeding Miles so Savanna was free to wander and make a huge mess! It’s pretty cute don’t you think?
I have a blog!

Hi everyone! Now that I have a forum to brag about my kids, life, etc. I don’t really know what to write! I guess I will just start by putting a picture of my cute kids on here and say that I am a very lucky girl to have such a great family!
What? Just… What?

OK… I like it. But what is it?
Just click on it if you want it to fill your browser window with full screen weirdness. The music is awesome.
Do blogs have 9 lives like cats?

Once again it has been too long since I posted anything here and I will again promise to update more frequently. Today I reconnected with a very old friend who I hadn’t spoken to in about 10 years. I gave her the address of the site so I figured I had to mention her in a post so she’d be mortified when she visited. Mission accomplished.
I think I need to change the look of thunkgeek.com. This old theme is awfully busy, which reflects the design trend at the time of the site’s beginngins. So, I hereby begin the search for a new theme that’ll be a little cleaner and nicer to look at. Out.
New arrival
Miles James Bayless was born to James and Chevon last night at 11:58pm. He and his mother are both doing well after a short labor. More details and pictures when they’re available.
New Site
Here’s a brand new baylessfamily.org, now based on wordpress so that any family member who is interested can contribute content. The site hadn’t had any new content in quite a while, so I decided it would be a good time to give it a little refresh. We’ve also got a dynamically updated list of recent posts from the individual blogs of family members so it’s easy to keep up to date on what everybody is up to.
Memorial Day Activities

It’s been too long now. Woe is me, or something.
As a treat to make up for my laziness and slackitude, here are some fun pictures of myself and Burke and his brother Danny and their father Dave all out to the west of Utah Lake on Memorial Day 2008 shooting a veritable arsenal of Danny and Dave’s guns.
Here’s Burke with Danny’s Glock .45
Burke again, loaded for bear or possibly terrorists.
Jon with Dave’s ridiculously tiny .357, a very cool gun but it hurts to shoot!
Jon yelling something about Danny’s sweet AK-47 with extra magazines attached.
Danny about to shoot his AK-47. He was amazingly accurate with this thing.
The boys getting ready to let loose.
And finally, a video of me shooting the AK-47. Bullets for this thing are spending or I would have shot it a lot more.
Dave gets in on the action with a few rounds from his Ruger .22 (I think) and Danny has a .22 rifle in the background. All in all, a very fun day. Afterwards we had some ribs and other yummy food and wasted some time talking and hanging out at the house.
