My Week...

So my Mom and younger brother Cade came down to visit Michael and I this last weekend and stayed for the majority of the week. It was so fun to have them here and hang out! I makes me miss Boise so much! It is so hard sometimes to be away from my family, especially with having such younger siblings! We did a variety of things while they were here.. and of course I didn't have my camera any where near by! I wish I had photos of the museum, Easter Sunday at Michael's families, and just hanging out! 

I am sad today because they left this afternoon after I met them for lunch during work. I have a feeling that this weekend is going to be a little quiet and lonely without them.... 

Happy Hybrid Owner.

I just wanted to tell everyone that I love my car. And this this is simply why:

Baby Names..

Since today was my day off I figured I would watch the TODAY show. They had this segment on Bad Baby Names. I had to share. Some of these are so funny - Some have given me ideas for my future children.... 

Bart Simpson pranks
Bart Simpson's prank calls to Moe's Tavern are nearly legendary, but the sad fact is that some people actually go through life with those goofy names. The following Bart creations all exist within the Ancestry.com databases:
Al Caholic
Oliver Clothesoff
I.P. Freely
Seymour Butz
Mike Rotch
Hugh Jass
Amanda Hugginkiss
Ivana Tinkle
Anita Bath
Maya Buttreeks

Foods
Some parents loved eating so much, they named their kids after favorite meals, snacks—and even condiments:
Lunch Magee
Dinner Ware
Bread White
Hero Brat
Mayo Head
Mustard M. Mustard
Pickle Parker
Plum Sellers
Banana Bowdy
Cherry Grant

Sins
The authors found 149 records for people named Lust, 70 for Greed, 12 for Sloth, and 830 for Pride. Which of the 7 deadlly sins was missing? Only gluttony.
Lust Garten
Greed Sister Mancini
Avarice Sullivan
Sloth Washton
Wrath Gordon
Envy Burger
Pride Saint
Greed McGrew
Pride Saint
Lust T. Castle

Professions
With names like "Mayor Bland," it seems like some parents had high, ambitious hopes for their children's future.
Cook Cook
Governor Bush
Lawyer Low
Doctor Love

Gamble Moore

Diseases
You'd have to be really sick to infect your offspring with virulent names like these:
Fever Bender (born 1856)
Leper Priest (born 1929)
Cholera Priest (born 1830 during the second cholera pandemic)
Rubella Graves (born 1814)
Typhus Black (born 1897)

Kathryn E. Coli (born 1894)
Mumps Sykes (born 1891)

Bellatrix

So yesterday Bellatrix got spayed. She did really well and seems to be recovering quick. However, she has to wear this lampshade around for 5 days! I don't think she likes it very much - she keeps running into walls and struggles getting her food and water. Here is a quick photo of our little baby after her surgery.

Doesn't she look sad??

BATH TIME!

Michael and I both liking Bellatrix to smell good. For some reason it seems that dogs just start smelling. Bellatrix isn't one of those stinky dogs. She just smells like a dog. We always want to make sure she is clean and fluffy. Here are some pictures of her getting a bath. I have decided she is like our 1st child. I take pictures of her doing so much. (Her first bath, her first outfit, etc) 

Blogging

So I am still trying to figure out this whole blogging thing. I am liking it so far but have not got all of the details figured out. If any of you have any tips out there let me know! I was able to add this cool banner at the top. I bought it from shabbyprincess.com and used my Photoshop to get everything on there! So send me tips!
