Update

Amy keeps telling me how SICK she is of looking at my look-alike blog so I thought I would give a brief update! I got another job working as a NURSE! I am working with mentally handicap clients at a facility in Provo. I work from 3:30am until about 2pm. It makes for a long day but time flies and I am really liking it! I am still working for my dad in the afternoons after work or school and on Mondays.

School is going well. I am about to finish my semester and sit for the LPN boards! I can't believe I have gotten this far! Time flew by! I still have two more semesters to get my RN license but this feels like a huge step towards my ultimate goal of being an RN!

Cadence is in coach pitch baseball and Easton is starting t-ball. Things are BUSY around here but going well! Cadence is almost done with the second grade....WOW! I feel old!! He is 7 and Easton is 4. I love my boys so much! They are growing up way too fast!

We went up to Salt Lake two weeks ago...I will try to post pictures soon!!! We just went up for a mini vacation. We went to the children's museum, swimming and to temple square. It was a lot of fun! I wanted to get away with the boys before I started working weekends at my new job.

In closing....here are some fun websites you can check if you are bored!!! Have fun!!

Or search 'mario brothers synthesizer'

A good looking, fun sound board that contains every song and sound from the original Super Mario Bros. It really took me back.

A downloadable version is also available, so you don't always need to be online.

Hitler Cats!

The number one 'Kitler', as they call them, is amazing! He even has the same haircut as Hitler.

(Disclaimer: I don't like Hitler. A good way to show our disdain is by comparing him to animals.)




http://www.truckspills.com/

The name is pretty self-explanatory. I figured we should mention this site in honor of our trax/truck collision yesterday.

Favorite truck spills: Beer, Idaho potatoes (extra points for using a snowplow to get them off the road), any number of spoiled foods (hot dogs, Sunny D, various animal parts) and probably the best of all: cocaine! Utah gets honorable mention for the Spanish Fork canyon explosion from '05.

The one about the goats was pretty sad, though.

Peeling paint web cam. As much fun as watching paint dry. Or, at least peel.




http://www.walkscore.com/

Rates the walkability of your neighborhood – the proximity to vitals like stores, schools , parks and libraries. It lists all of the nearest in each category. My neighborhood in Taylorville only gets 28 out of 100, while my parents in Sugarhouse get 77 out of 100. The best use of this site is to point out how many amenities are within walking distance from your home – and hopefully you are encouraged to walk or bike to them rather than drive.

Call your own phone when it's lost without having another phone around. Also, set a phone call time to interrupt a meeting or date you expect will suck.

or do a video search for 'fetch machine'

A cute vid of a daschund playing with a brilliant invention: the dog places a ball in the machine, and it will throw the ball automatically. As any dog owner knows, this is a brilliant invention – plus it's fun to watch the dog having such a good time.
