Make Lara's Day and Win a Sweet Prize

(Red comments are Lara's edits)

This is Lara's sister,
Kristina. Lara likes to occasionally has hijacked my blog when she knows it is for the better good and change my posts whenever I ask her to or even write new posts for me when I've gone three weeks without posting. 

Lara's  been a little under the weather the past few days and has been experiencing some major writer's block the last 36 years or so, so today is my turn to return the favor.  She doesn't know I am doing this and will probably be a little embarrassed about it. Understatement.  She may even try and delete the post. Still considering it.  I hope she doesn't, because I have a sweet giveaway. I'm only letting this go for the two people who happen to discover this post before I got to it. 


I would like to offer to ALL 10 of Lara's readers a very special opportunity. 

Leave Lara a comment on this post and, if you feel like it, become her follower and you will be entered into a drawing to WIN a $50 gift card of your choiceYou don't have to follow me and I'll still be your friend.

If you are already a follower, all you have to do is leave a comment. I do like comments.

This contest will end Monday, December 14th at 11:59 PM Pacific time, so you don't have much time. Start leaving comments now. Up to 6 entries per person are welcome. Our goal is to get as many comments as possible. Isn't that always my goal? 

The only people not eligible to win are me and Lara. How discriminatory is that that she hijacks MY blog and I can't win? Lara's kids are welcome to enter too. Go Adam!  Good luck!


MERRY CHRISTMAS!  Amen.

Sweet blog hijacking skills, K!
I will leave lots of comments over the next few days, because I know my sisters want to give the prize to me!

Annette said...

6 entries per person? I have to come up with 6 different, witty comments?

You are a hijacker in reverse!!

K said...

It is NOT stated that Comments have to be witty. Any type of comment is welcome as long as it's not offensive.

Lara said...

You hijack MY blog and don't even make me eligible to win? That's just plain discrimination.

K said...

Fine, I am the only one not eligible. You can win too Lara.

K said...

I did not write some of the things not written in red. As you can tell, Lara has edited the post, so anything that sounds mean towards Lara was NOT written by me!

Mom said...

Ditto what Aitch said!

Mirien said...

If I win, I'm giving the gift card to Lara! This post made me laugh, and it also made me glad that none of my siblings have ever tried to hijack my blog. Now if i can only figure out how to sneak into theirs...

Tim e said...

I never comment on blogs.

Annette said...

You guys are good at hacking into each others blogs. What, do you all have the same password ... "childhood pet" ... secret only to siblings.

Tim E's Brother said...

Wow, we have witnessed a miracle. Tim leaving a comment on a family member's blog.

spencer said...

Charlene said...

Charlene said...

I'm still waiting on my gazillion bucks!!

Charlene said...

I am a follower so this is just another comment to tell you that!

Charlene said...

I totally love reading your blogs!!

Deanne said...

I'm always up for a good give-a-way!

Deanne said...

Maybe this is why I've never given my sister my password to my blog. =)

Deanne said...

What a fun family!

Deanne said...

I guess I wasn't a follower...but I am now!

angela said...

Love you Lara! This hack was pretty funny... hope I win!

Addie said...

Oh my goodness, you two made me laugh so hard! My sisters and I act the same way and I wouldn't be surprised if either of them did the same thing to me. Wait, my sister has hijacked my blog in the past, I forgot.

It's so great when siblings are friends!

Addie said...

Oh, and I hope you all have a Merry Christmas too! I still can't believe it's next week.

K said...

You have 44 comments. Nice! I hope you get a few more. 24 more hours is all the time you have!

alexandra said...

Okay. I'm now a follower, though you'll never get a picture out of me!

Love ya, Lara!

alexandra said...

alexandra said...

alexandra said...

alexandra said...

Oh, wait!

alexandra said...

And one to grow on. Don't count this one. I don't want to be DQ'd from the sweet deal!

Did I mention I LOVE Lara's blog?

alexandra said...

. . . too!

alexandra said...

. . . times. . .

Matthew K said...

I wanted to mention that my very first comment was written by my sweet wife!! Have you noticed that she is super fantastic?

Matthew K said...

Lara is cool and Kristina is too. And I want to win.

Matthew K said...

I also need to say that I am not a hacker, as Lara accused me of in her latest post. I would never do such a thing (as he whistles innocently).

Matthew K said...

I think that anyone whose name doesn't start with a "M" should be disqualified.

Matthew K said...

That would put it between Mirien, Mom and me. That sounds fair to me.

Matthew K said...

Has AL written a comment? I don't expect Nate or Peter (and I didn't expect Tim, until he wrote one), but I definitely thought that AL would be a prolific commenter.

Matthew K said...

What is the capital of Mongolia?

Matthew K said...

We went to the Visitors' Center last night, there was a really good concert by the Mormon Choir of Washington. They are talented. Glen was in the choir previously, right? He is a stud.

emma said...

i hope i win!

Emma said...

emma said...

Emma said...

i think it would be cool to get a $50 gift card of your choice

Emma said...

its all right if you dont pick my name Kristina its no big deal i dont really care.i only care an tiny bit.

mom said...

Are you tired of reading comments yet? I love you Lara and you are my favorite oldest child. I love your blog and consider it a treasure. When I need a good laugh, I like to go back to Ellie's fashion show post. It always makes me giggle.

annalisa said...

man you do have a lot of comments! you're cool!

annalisa said...

hi lara! you're funny! kristina is funny too!

annalisa said...

Matt, I am now commenting and I believe the capital of Mongolia is Ulaanbaatar. Of course I'm sure you knew that but I thought I would tell you anyway.

Anonymous said...

Lara's blog does rock.

gg said...

Ok, even I will play for a $50 gift card

gg said...

But she has all of her dear readers always on her mind.

gg said...

And I'm sad she's sick because she is a little sad that her creative juices aren't flowing quite as they normally do.

gg said...

I of course have the benefit of just sitting at work and smiling at her wonderful updates. Thanks Wawa for keeping such a wonderful family journal (i.e. blog) - it is a treasure.

gg said...

For the record, this is now my sixth post. My second post was labled "Anonymous" and is wedged in between all of my other posts!

I add my voice to others...

I heart Lara!

Lara said...

Lara is awesome!!

A Lara Fan said...

That last comment was supposed to be from A Lara Fan, but I hit enter instead of typing more. Oops

Andrew said...

I sure do miss my aunt Lara.

Lincoln said...

I want to win a gift card!!!

Lincoln said...

Lara and her kids did a really, really good job watching me the other day!!!

Lincoln said...

When are you coming to visit us, K?

Lincoln said...

Unfortunately, I have never met Kristina or Madeline.

Lincoln said...

I forgive Rocky for scratching me a couple weeks ago.

Lincoln said...

It was fun for me to hang out with two aunts, one uncle and five cousins (six cousins, if you include Rocky).

Davin said...

aaaammamamamooohj

Lincoln said...

I really felt that Ellie speaks my language. It is enjoyable talking to her.

Adam said...

Merry Christmas!
I hope you have a god time.

Cami said...

You know I could really use some more clothes.lol ;)

Cami said...

Hey merry Christmas! Madeline is sooooo cute her hair gets lighter every day. I love Andrew's smile it's so cute.

Cami said...

Hey! You need to come visit us! I'm sure Andrew and Madeline need some snow and weather worthy of hot cocoa

Cami said...

I admit this is the best post anyone has ever made on my mom's blog.

Cami said...

Come visit us and I'll make any treat of your choice.

Cami said...

I have nothing else to say so... Merry Christmas!and come visit us.

K said...

I am going to be so disappointed if we only make it to 95 comments!

Kristina is awesome.

Elizabeth Bennet said...

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.

Grandpa-Grandma Crain said...

Do you have the flu Lara?

Steve said...

There you go-over a 100 comments!

Now, go put those two $50 gift certificates in the mail-so the two lucky winners can get them before Christmas.

Good job K. Now time to pay up.

K said...

I didn't say the second prize would be a $50 gift card too. (o:

Tim e said...

Not ever

Tim e said...

Not now.

Tim e said...

Umm, I still never post on blogs.

Mirien said...

I think you should listen to Matt--only those whose names begin with M are eligible.
