Today I was looking for something to do with Landon and came across this website. I really like it. You can get as involved as you like, or not. For example we were looking for activities with shapes and one had a Xylophone to make with rectangles (glueing is always fun); you could listen to a xylophone, see a picture of a real one, learn the letter X, and learn your colors. We were thinking of doing circles tomorrow by making a centipede, and the letter C, and colors and numbers and a link to see a real one and learn more about it. Pretty cool I thought.

I'll take Smellie's tag
I felt tagged when I read her blog, but avoided it - all the while feeling guilty. So here it goes (I'm in the mood to do it today!):
Jobs I've held:
1. Inventory at Standard Office Supply
2. Carousel Ice Cream Parlor (scooped ice cream, cleaned out freezers and refrigerators and a 'trailer', worked at the register, and lastly, but short lived, as a waitress).
3. Best Products (stocking, checking for items that seemed to be missing,janitor)
4. T.J Max (short lived)
5. Counting competitors customers for Future Shop (on the side, cash paid)
6. Day Care (unofficially in my home)
7. Mother
Movies I can watch over and over:
I have a harder time with this these days, but I used to watch:
1.The Man from Snowy River
2. Lord of the rings
3.Lady Hawk
4.Shrek
5. Yesterday I watched While You Were Sleeping (and really enjoyed it)
6.I was wanting to watch Labrynth there for a while
I'm sure there are a lot more, what I want to watch changes a lot with my mood, and subliminal messages I'm sure.
Places I have lived:
1.Sandy UT
2.Provo UT
3.Price UT (a summer - or was that shortened to weeks? I can't remeber)
4. Missoula MT (twice with a year in between I think)
5. Orem UT (as above ")
6.Helena MT
7. Layton UT
8. Syracuse UT
Shows I enjoy:
I don't watch t.v. at all really, but I still really like Sienfield (I think I want the 'boxed set' :) ), and I've watched Myth Busters with the kids a few times, I kinda like that, and I have liked Funniest Home Videos, but never remember to watch it.
Places I have been for vacation:
1. Yellowstone
2. Glacier National Park
4. California (Many different places here- but not Disney Land!)
5. Calgary Canada (High School Band trip)
6. Chicago, Elgin, and Indian - mostly work, but some play
7. Idaho
8. Most of those Southern UT places except Lake Powell, and many Northern UT places too.
Favorite Foods:
I like so many it is hard to pick favorites, but these are things I can think of at this moment that I may often choose:
1. Stuffed mushrooms at Olive Garden
2. Homemade cookies
3. Desserts
4.Trying new foods that look good
5.Southwest taco things from either Applebees or Chili's- I can't remember which.
6. Wendy's Chocolate Shakes
Websites I visit:
1. blogs (mostly family, a few others now and then)
2. news
3. whatever I am interested in links I can find (at that moment, and may never revisit despite setting as a favorite)
No nicknames - not too my face anyway. Who knows what others may have thought up. I think I overheard someone referring to me as 'earwax person' before. My immediate family may know why I thought they were probably talking about me....

Them Kids!
So yesterday (or so) I played hide and seek with Landon. I dragged my feet at first, I admit, but we were both bored. It was so much fun! He just doesn't get it entirely, so he would tell me, "I'm going to hide here." Before I ever started counting. Then when he counts he goes really fast (and it just hit me, I think he was counting correctly to 10. I don't think he could do that on pupose?), then he yells, "Mom! Mom! Moooom!", until I answer or knock on something so he can find me. Then we would just laugh and laugh. Aaaah. What a cutie.
Tanner is standing on the bench in the kitchen and says, "to the republic of witches stand." I laugh and he says, "what, I don't know what it means really. Witches stand, what does that mean?"
Ha, ha, ha!
Oh, and Bryce is the master procrastinator, distract Mom-er, and/or just wait until she forgets-er. Wait -maybe that is all of them except Landon - not old enough yet maybe.
By the way, have any of you read Eclipse yet? The third in the Twilight series? Pretty good, but boy, I cried buckets, and it leaves you hanging with the tears in the end! That next book better get here quick.
