Vlog: Best Blogging Week Ever Jan. 24-28




Chup likes dogs and sunglasses



I am C. Jane Kendrick and I need to oil my robot now. You can contact me personally at cjanemail @ gmail.com or leave comments on my facebook page and if you are on twitter you can find my tweets here. But no pressure.

117 Pieces of Opinion:

Sue Anne said...

I think I just snorted a piece of tortilla chip through my noise I started laughing so hard.

Love these vlogs.

Katrin said...

Oh you guys are hilarious!!! i love it!

and ever is soooooooooooooooooo cute!

great vlog!

Butlers said...

Love it!! Seriously!! I can't believe they said "from what"??!!
So loved your post from yesterday. I forwarded it to the relief society. I hope your cousin Kim Church doesn't think that too weird!

basquegirl said...

You both are so funny! I can tell you love each other...thanks for making me laugh!

Naomi Miles said...

I just about died laughing during that one!

carolyne said...

Guys, loved this..huge, huge fan of your blog/vblog. Can't wait for more vblogs from your gorgeous family. And love how you mention Australia - when are you guys coming over. A little fan from down under. hugs.

madsta said...

Can I borrow your robot? I need a fun post but my robot is broken.

Cara said...

Hilarious. Where can I get a robot who will blog for me? And would it be possible to also get a model of robot that does laundry, cooking and in fact ALL my housework?

Lolee said...

Oh my gosh, I love the vlog! But I am in such a catch 22 because I love it, but loving it is not going to get my comment chosen as the dramatic reading. Oh well, here is my weekly advice in an attempt to get chosen anyway:

1. It's not ok to try and run your own private groundhogs ceremony. The groundhog is a delicate animal and cannot be made to perform like a circus monkey

2. Let Ever Jane know about/ play with all the Disney Princesses..except Ariel. She gets on my nerves.

Anyway, best vlog ever! Ventriloquism, 'porny', the truth behind who writes the posts..it was epic!

Bonnie said...

Oh Anonymous, KEEP IT REEEAAAAL!

Lauren said...

So I've been a long time reader. I emailed you once. This is my very first comment. Anyway - I have always liked you. Your vlogs have made me love you. Seriously LOVE! I just watched this and the one you posted last week and it cost me the cleanliness of my living room, and about 12 minutes of snuggling time I'll never get back with my 14 month old - but it was worth it.

Anonymous said...

Oh man I just LOVE Best Blogging Week Ever. Hilarious and adorable, and a guest star my o my! She looks so much like Le Chief sometimes, adorable. My prayers with Buster!

Also, folks who think writing essays is not real work, and imagine them taking as long to write as they take to read also probably think that movies only take two hours to shoot - just follow the exploding cars, robots and love scenes around, email it to Paramount, done and done.

Anonymous said...

My heart was pounding when you got to the dramatic reading of an anonymous comment. I was so hoping that it would be my comment that you made fun of this week. It was not mine, darn it. It had just the right blend of biting sarcasm and humor, so I was sure I'd make the cut. Anyway, aren't you afraid that the comment moderation will make it hard to find a good anonymous comment for next Friday?

Erica said...

Love these vlogs, hilarious! You make me laugh and bring joy to my heart as I sit at my desk starring at a computer for 8 hours a day!

Dre + Drew - Midwest Living - Iowa City said...

From What?? So funny once again thanks for the morning chuckle. Love you guys!

susannik said...

So I am thinking the best thing I could say... I wish I lived in Provo so I could be your friend. I laughed through this whole vlog thing and want to thank you for lifting my spirits. I am neither LDS nor self-proclaimed atheist feminist but a Christian Catholic mom/wife/nurse/baker/cook who also struggles with self-esteem, body issues, the daily grind and mid-winter whines...now go back and do some more writing so you can proved to that idiot you deserved a vacation...if only from reality...

Polly Scott said...

Thanks for the update! Funny picture! I LOVE photoshop! A robot writes my humor column too. Robots are so funny these days!

Smitten by Mickey said...

Courtney, I LOVE the Vlogs you and Chup have been making. They are hysterical and keep me laughing! I think the "anonymous writer" actually really likes and is just mad at her/himself because they can't admit it. Keep bloggging, I'm listening.

Suzanne said...

HIGH-larious! I love all the ventrili-well..whatever..I started to spell it, then realized I'd have to look it up. Ha!
Also...random..I've been reading/saying it in my head "ChUP"...and now I know it's ChOOP. My apologies for the mispronunciation...see..I can spell that! :)

You two are hilarious!! I love it!

tharker said...

Favorite moments:

* your mad ventriloquist(sp?) skills. you should definitely make that your next career move!

* ever jane. enough said.

* fluffing your hair while chup was talking

* the moment that i thought i was getting a shout out, but then realized that my last name is not reeder. dang!

* the fact that you said 'porny'!

i love the vlogs! keep up the good work. i mean, tell your robot to keep up the good work ;)

Jamie said...

You left me in tears again from laughing so hard. You 2 are awesome!! Tell those robots to keep up the hard work. And PS the picture is AWESOME!!

natalie leavitt said...

I have never watched one of your vlogs...until now (no excuses) I just watched 3 and was dying...thanks for starting my day off right!

Emily H said...

The serenade at the end is my favorite part! It's worth rushing through getting ready to have time for the best blogging week ever vlog every friday, keep it up!!

Mallory said...

i 100% LOVE that you are doing these vlogs! please never stop!

L.A. said...

I hope Ever's little friend is okay and that there is nothing serious happening. It is all I could think about during the vlog. I know what it is like to be the mother of a baby that is hospitalized and sick, so I could only think of the amount of worry his parents must be going through.

medschoolmama said...

Can I please be friends with you? You guys are seriously hilarious!
Also, I'm pretty sure my little guy wants to go on a date with Ever. He's a pretty cool kid, I think you'd approve ;)

laura said...

Courtney! I love you. I miss my SSV paper closet friend. I mean, I love reading your blog, but actually seeing you is too fun. It makes me want to come over and hang out with you and Chup.

(And my hubby has some mad photoshop skills so I'm sure he and Chup would get along!)

sweetpomegranate said...

you. are. hilarious. will you be my new bff? because i left all my old ones in jersey. thanks!

Bre said...

This is seriously my new favorite thing on your blog. Keep em coming! They seriously brightened my day, and I needed some brightening.

BriBedell said...

You guys are seriously awesome! I laughed the whole time.

P.S. I totally get your sense of humor.

P.P.S. I need to meet you in real life. LOL

Loved the commenter who asks what you were vacationing from. They obviously don't have a life or kids!

Denise said...

You make me giggle every week. Love you guys!!!

Rebekah said...

I thought the "porny" part was FRIGGEN HILARIOUS last week. your blog makes my mornings!

Danna said...

Oh my goodness, I was laughing so hard there are tears in my eyes. The entire things was a riot and I can't wait for next week's!

Sara said...

Ya'll r just too funny.. and Ever is soooo adorable!!

Allen Family said...

Fridays are my new favorite days! Love it. Love it. Love it.

Amber Hathaway said...

Had to comment because you make me laugh and smile sitting here all alone at my computer. Keep it up! And thank you really.

SIncerely,

Tori said...

Friday. My new favorite blog surfing day of the week! LOVE IT! Can't wait for next week. :)

Natalie said...

I was up with my sick baby all night and I didn't think I was gonna make it today. But, your vlog just made me laugh outloud! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this!

Your blog always seems to go along with what is going on with me and it is always a pleasure to read your blog (and watch you). Keep it up because I (and a ton of other people) need these laughs!!

Lisa said...

Hi.lar.i.ous!!! Love from St. George!

Chloe said...

Hahahahha.

I love love love the vlogs CJane (and Chup). You are awesome, the best part is the dramatic reading. Wait, no, the best part is Ever because I just want to reach through my screen and smush her little body against mine. You two make beautiful babies.

Now go take another vacay and let the robot do his work!

homemade by jill said...

Does your blogging robot make crafts? I'd love to borrow it so 'I can go on vacation.

I've always loved your blog but I REALLY love the vlogs!

KroonFamily said...

OH MAN... what do I say to that? Okay, okay, I know... in the spirit of "anon", a DRAMATIC COMMENT...
"First. CJane, you are not a REAL ventriloquist and you are giving REAL ventriloquistestes (like how I made that all pluraly?)you are giving them a BAD name. Chup, that goes for you too. Second. I can't believe you said the word "sexy" ... GOOD MORMONS don't use language like that (or wear sexy melon colored shirts like that...it's okay, I can use the word "sexy" cause I'm not Mormon... but if I WAS Mormon, I would not use that word so freely.)Anywhoo... I wish you would be more serious in your vlogs and if you don't get more serious I am not going to keep reading/viewing because I am disappointed in all of the random humor. I thought Mormons were more serious. PS. Chup, you should retain more control over your image, what if that head shot was used in a Hollister ad, cut and pasted on some hot bod? I'm just saying... you two should be more careful."

Thank you, thank you very much...
xoxoxo Montana.

Ashley said...

oh my gosh, thats funny stuffs I love you guys, I love your blog and I want one of those blog writing robots.

pollydove said...

Oh C. Jane,(is that what you decided on? I can't remember now.) Chup and adorable Ever ... I want to have that much fun on a daily basis too! LoVe you guys!

Evan Jamie and Maddy said...

I am in love with your videos!! This was the best idea! Your family is the cutest! I was laughing so hard!!! You guys are great! And I think you DEFINITELY deserved a vacation, so don't worry about that comment. Some people just don't understand!

<3 Jamie

Heidi D said...

I have to be honest, I only watched because you had your cute little chubby nubbins of a babycake girl in the vlog. She makes me reconsider having more babies.

I did enjoy your lovely singing in the end, so there's that too. :)

Jill said...

Keep em coming! That's what I say. Very funny stuff.

Kelly Jean said...

Hahaha :) I'm not one for Reality TV, but if you guys starred in one, I'd totally watch. :)

Jenni said...

Oh my gosh I love your vlog! LOL Laughed...so...hard. Please keep them coming!

Robyn O. said...

I'm dying over the picture of Chup on a package of pig ear doggie treats! Hilarious!

Clancypants said...

best parts of vlog:

1- when you said you thought that guy from aus was sexy, and the subseqent "porny" part.
2- 2:56 "yes, he's a male. males do read my blog from time to time... (mmmchuckles)... bless their hearts."
3- 4:49 "because you don't want to stop the vlog... HA!"
4- 5:52 "we love... guns"

I like this vlog series. A lot.

christina said...

R O T F L!!!! you guys are too gracious, opening up your home and selves to vlog!! Keep up the good work! :)

Skye said...

Love it!! You two are so funny together :) I can't wait for next week-LOVE the Vlog.

JustusJohnsons said...

So...I LOVE your vlogs! They make me laugh :) Here's the thing, I've gotta be honest, I have been following your blog for a while now but I rarely read it, I just look at the pictures. Don't feel offended, I don't read hardly anything, I am mostly a picture kind of a gal. But just watching your vlogs makes me happy and I have to admit I pretty much want to be your friend cuz you just seem like you have so much fun!
Anywho...and dat's da trufe!
:)

M said...

You guys are great! Love, love, love your vlogs!

Millie Turner said...

I haven't even watched the video yet. I am just going to allow that amazing screen cap to seep in to my brain for several hours and then watch the video when I get home. You guys are damn funny. Surriously.

J to the Nessa said...

If you ever stop vlogging I'll be so angry with you! :)

Kaylene said...

Oh, so its "Choop". This whole time I was saying Chup, like cup. This might be hard to remedy. Great Vlog, keep 'em coming!

emlizalmo said...

OK...these make me happy. :)

Melinda said...

First of all I laughed my head off at the picture of Chup on the doggy toy thing--that is hilarious! Not as hilarious as this video, I think the last 10 seconds were the best:

CJane: "Keep it REEEEAAALLL!!!!"

Chup robot voice: "Keep. It. Reeeall."

Pam (Haslem) Dana said...

Forever should the vlog live! I seriously love them! Ever is getting so big. My baby J is just a few weeks younger then her.. loving this age!

I was up there (meaning Northern Utah) while you were down here (meaning Southern Utah) last week. I was totally bummed I missed the reading! Come back soon!

Tana said...

I love the vlog idea so much I want to steal it. But my husband probably wouldn't do robot voices and has no doggy sunglasses pictures to share.

I do have mad photoshop skills, though.

Wait . . . maybe he DOES have doggy sunglasses pictures to share. Yes, I'm SURE he does!

Thanks, Kendricks. This was really fun!

Briana said...

once again, loved the vlog! you guys are so stinking funnny. and awesome.

hey and re: buster's hospitalization. my daughter was hospitalized at utah valley just a few months ago (at 8.5 months) for a "failure to thrive" intervention. she was also not gaining weight. and it got so bad that at the point she was hospitalized, she had actually started losing weight really quickly - it was very scary. there's not too far down to go from 10 lbs, you know? i was just wondering about buster - if its anything similar or if they even have any answers at this point. and i wondered if our experiences with our daughter could be helpful at all if they are still looking for answers. we still don't know all the answers, but we do know that she has food protein proctocolitis. she had to stop nursing and was put on a special amino-based formula called elecare. the main symptoms she was manifesting (which led from our pediatrician to a pediatric GI doc to the hospital) were: mucous and blood in stool, no weight gain and eventually weight loss, and irritability and crying from stomach pain, and lethargy/clinginess. anyways, i'm really getting going :)... don't even know if they are there for anything similar. but if i can help with any info, i'd love to. my e-mail is helpthe3percent@gmail.com

Bredsguard Fam said...

Autumn said...

I always love seeing couple dynamics via vlog. Love this :)

lori@titleone.net said...

I wanted to write something really nasty so I could get mentioned on the next vlog but couldn't come up with one thing. Love your blog, love your vlog, love you!

sarah, rsm said...

thanks for keeping it real, and i think you should name your alter-ego-robot C2Me2 = courtney, chup and me too! what do you think?

Angie &amp; Willy said...

Keep it reeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaal! :D ROFLMBO

lisa said...

LoveLoveLove the vlog! I stumbled upon you(hope I didn't hurt you, LOL)this week and have been smiling ever since.

Carrot Jello said...

This is me trying not to be offended ---> O_0

How many of my comments have you "liked" on your facebook?
At least two.
1/3 of the host of Heaven? Moi.
Lesoon? Moi.
That's just a sampling.

Wait.
I know what you're doing.
You're protecting my identity!
I use my regular name on facebook, and you don't want to out me on your vlog, do you?

You are so right!
And so smart too!
Did I mention how much I love your hair?
Come give me a hug!
Your baby is darling.
Chup has a nice voice.
If I ever make a robot movie, he'll be on my call list.

catie said...

with all the different voices, it's almost like a variety show.
i ♥ your blog.
i ♥ your vlog.
i ♥ your robot.
i ♥ chup's photoshop headshot.

Helen Anderson said...

Awesome vlog! Very real. Very funny.

TiffanyRuth said...

Ever Jane stole the show! I hope her boyfriend gets better soon, seeing Valentines Day is coming up in a few weeks! I would like to have seen the Chief, his eat-sleeping videos were adorable.

I'm so glad you have decided to vlog! Now we should brainstorm new segments.

Maybe we could ask you questions? :)

Nancy said...

(You can have my thoughts for free)
It's seriously hard to watch your vlogs, you're ALL so dang cute. You're adorable, your hubby is adorable and Ever is way-way adorable. My eyes hurt, I didn't know how to look at all three of you at once, and you're all HAMS! ha ha

greta ott said...

you totally rock. the vlog makes me love you more and more!

Non-Mommy said...

Your blog has surpassed a new level of awesome. Seriously. Your vlogs crack me up, and I LOVE the dramatic readings.

Thanks for always being encouraging and fun.

CareGiving Daughter said...

I'm sitting here with a glass of wine watching RH Beverly Hill and totally ignoing the drama to laugh. You and Christopher an Ever are the best ever!! I love your family so much. Please don't ever stop doing what ou do. You are an inspiration to me and s many others.

My husband seriously has a tshirt with That picture of Chup on it.

Anonymous said...

Oh my goodness. Thank you so much for that.

gina said...

So I had a dream a couple nights ago that my husband, daughters and I were having breakfast in some retro diner-type place. Enter you, Chup and the littl'uns. You come and take a seat near us and drop these super-size twinkies on the table while you wait for the rest of your order. I then go to the back of the restaurant to change my daughter's diaper. When I return, the dining area is swarming with Clark siblings and their families. I am about to ask my husband if he has said hi to Vance yet (he's Vance and Page's insurance guy and piano tuner) and then my daughter wakes me up. Maybe I read your blog too much.

Anonymous said...

But seriously though, a vacation from what?

shadesofblue said...

You are Awesome!!!! Case done! End of story! I love your vlogs. Oh and by the way I think its super cool you and Chup do the vlog time together. Genius! Keep them coming. One more thing, Ever is such a beautiful baby:))))))))

Anonymous said...

I am having a difficult time writing one little comment; much less a newspaper column and a daily blog.
SERIOUSLY!
Hope Ever's bf is on the mend.
My best to you, CJane! Keep up the funny work.

Leigh M. said...

I freaking love you! and that photo of Chup is outrageous. I am going to think of it whenever I get bummed out, then it will surely brighten my day.

Laura K said...

it must be so exciting to know that at any given moment, you may come upon Chup's face while shopping. hilarious!

Tifini said...

Thank you for vlogging. Seriously the combination of you and chup make me laugh out loud very hard. Thanks for brightening my day. You rock.

Suzie Petunia said...

You are endlessly entertaining. Thanks! I hope you are all having a very nice weekend. :)

Pearlmarie said...

You're so cute! I love watching you guys.

nikkipicky said...

Ba ha ha ha!!! Missed the whole VLOG thing in your blogs, don't know how?!? Now I have to go back and watch...Anyway it's great!

I seriously don't know how you do it..I struggle to come up with anything interesting or witty to blog about. I can definitely see the work involved. Continue on!

Todd said...

How exciting to be mentioned in a vlog! (yes, I am THAT GUY who reads C. Jane's blog...) It was just so weird to see Chup (or someone who looked exactly like a younger, hairier version of Chup!) on the "Porkhide Ears" package, that I just had to send it to you guys and ask. Glad we've cleared that up for everyone. :-)

sarahjean said...

You are adorable....I have never watched your vlog before what with all the noise from 4 children but I will never miss another one~

Jocelyn said...

OH MY GOD! I love your VLOGS!...and guess what?? Speaking of OZ, I was with Oprah in OZ! I was one of the audience members that got to tag along with her to the land down under. :)

Malea said...

I think Chup's robot version of "keep.it.real." should be turned into a ringtone. I'd totally use it!

Malea said...

IN FACT!!! You should turn YOUR diva "Keep it real" into a ringtone, and put it on Chup's phone, and He should put his robot version on your phone. THEN you'd finally be the "cutest.couple.'EVER'"!!!

Helen Anderson said...

And wow, you really look like your Mom.

from mel said...

oh, girl.
those vlogs.
gets me every time.
and my boy jack loves them too. he kind of walked away after ever's debut, but he returned as soon as he heard the robot voice!
love this.
and, just so you are reminded, you so deserved that vacation. i hope it was delightful!

Ms.Carson said...

Your second vlog is as funny as your first. So hilarious.

I loved that your baby didn't even blink when you broke out into song.

The sunglass/ dog photo... also hilarious.

thank you for putting nice, funny stuff out there...

Anonymous said...

I much prefer your vlogs to your written blogs.

You are a kind of a 21st century erma bombeck mormon.

Em said...

Love the vlog AGAIN. Ever is such a cute-head-cunka-love.
Also, that photo of Chup is the BEST!

Ruth M said...

I too share the stock photography/headshot experience. Though the truly sad part is that I never liked the headshot I got out of the deal, and yet, there my face is, selling haircare products and advice books for young women.

Amie said...

So funny. These make my evening. no. seriously. they do.

Sarah Kate Uhe Redux :) said...

Oh man. I only just saw that. I have been net deprived. As if real-time Pot Pie wasn't enough!!! Danke and Thankya. I am H-A-P-P-Y. ;P
