Goings On

On Friday I went to go donate blood but my iron was too low...how is this possible when I consumed 4 iron pills a day for 3 days prior? That's 600% of my needed daily iron intake! Oh well, at least I got a cute little foam blood drop for my antenna.

Yesterday, mom, Noelle, Nicole, Candice, and I went to Donnie Mac's trailer park restaurant. It's down town on Grove street. The food is pretty good. They have super yummy sweet potato fries. Noelle was upset because they were not really sweet potatoes, rather, they were yams.

Last week, mom had gone there with some friends and their waiter told them that the Food Network show 'Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives' was going to be filming there the next week. Guy, the host, had already skipped town when we stopped by yesterday, but they were still fliming. They filmed us eating for a few minutes, so it's possible that you may catch us on the show. Now Candice is worried about stalker fans and paparazzi.

Charles in Charge

Remember the 80's show 'Charles in Charge'?

That's right, Teagan had 'Charles in Charge hair'. It's been months since Steph has had time to give her boys a proper haircut. I tried capturing the true essence of the flowy/feathery look, but you had to see it in live action.


Ryken's hair is still really cute when it's 'long'. Here he is ready for church with his 'scriptures' aka toys.

Well, with long hair comes sick bedhead.

The hair cutting process is always entertaining. Ryken looks so old in this pic.

We threatened Teagan that if he didn't stop moving around, he would have to go to school like this:
And the final product. They both were being uncooperative.

Side note...this was a GOOD movie. Made me feel very protective of my nieces.

Not Much

Not much has been going on. However, I'm going to Pocatello this weekend, and you know the kind of shenanigans I get into over there.

In the meantime, I wanted to throw this little nugget out there. I saw this movie over the weekend, and it was excellent. Crossing my fingers, hope it wins.

Side note, this movie is rated 'R'(which, I don't really get, cuz it shouldn't have been)...and I saw it with 2 people who typically don't see R rated movies. I won't name names, but you know who you are.

Best Office Clip Ever

Everyone's Obsessed

Last night I came home after work and Noelle and Russ had taken it upon themselves to create their own 'Wii Mii's' and were in the middle of a golf game.

Noelle has been practicing her drumming skills on Rock Band. She was so excited when I let her join me on tour the other night.

This was her first attempt at drums last week. Yowza. Sorry Noelle, but I couldn't help it.

Rock Band

I went to Steph's house this past weekend to help her out while Lincoln had to go to the hospital with croup. Here he is in his baby hospital gown.
Then I discovered Rock Band. Obsessed. That's what I am. We Rock Band-ed it up all weekend. So then when I got back home, I needed to get it for myself - yes Danielle, I said 'needed'.

Here's a bird's eye view of 'the band'.

Ryken getting in on the action. Notice his fauxhawk courtesy of me.
All the kids are getting good. Teagan is awesome at the drums. It's a sight to see. It's not super easy getting the foot petal in there along with both hands. Especially when he likes to mix it up and go 'lefty mode'.

It's also a sight to see Noelle try the drums...but I will refrain from posting that video clip, you're welcome Noelle.

All Steph's boys have super cool 'long' hair right now, it's fun to play with. Any longer though, and they'll look like the Beatles.

I saved a life...yet again.

I did it again. I saved another life. Yesterday I donated blood with Candice. We went to IHop with her brother before-hand then met up at the Red Cross. The 50ish year old guy that drew my blood was being trained, so I knew he obviously hadn't stuck many people and I could tell he was nervous. Being a former phlebotomist myself, I was patient, trying not to show my slight nervousness considering that the needle gauge when you donate blood is ginormous. I felt bad, it took him forever, and when the blood started going through the tube when he finally stuck me, he was excited. I asked the girl that was training him if I was his first one, she said 'yes' - yowza.

Candice, Jared, and I raced to see who could fill a pint of blood the fastest - I dominated with 4 min. 35 sec. biotches! Here's me and Candice showing off our blood donating guns.
