FindYourSpot.com

I came across this website on a friend's blog and took the quiz. Basically it has 8 pages of questions to help determine your ideal location to live. Interestingly I have already lived in or passed through 18 of these cities on the medium size list. If I graphically represent these cities, Coeur D'Alene/Spokane is pretty much right in the center of all of these.

When I changed my answer from medium populated cities to small cities, Coeur D'Alene, ID (my hometown) was on the list. So is this list a self-fulfilling prophecy? Meaning, does where we are raised influence our answers? I would say yes, to an extent. I italicized the cities I have lived in.

More Snow!

Last week we went to a Rockies game. Luke got some tickets from work. They were behind first base. It was a lot of fun, but also really cold. Stone and Rusty kept saying they wanted to go home, but Luke wanted to stay the whole time. It was a good thing we stayed because the Rockies ended up winning on a Matt Holliday 2 run homerun in the bottom of the 8th inning. Luckily it was the shortest game in Coors Field history at 2 hours and 5 minutes.

Rusty and Stone are good big brothers. They love to feed Van. Van always wants to play with his brothers.

We were eating Oreos and I broke off a little piece of mine to give to Van, but he grabbed the whole cookie off the table instead. He loved it.

These are pictures after the snow last week. I can't believe how much it snows in Denver in April.

Isn't it sad when you leave your flip flops outside and they get snowed on?

Yesterday we went to the zoo. We got snowed on again so we didn't get to stay very long. I guess we should have gone the day before when it was 82 degreess. I did get a chance to work on my base tan (or burn) when it was warm.

This is what it looks like outside right now. We enjoy the spring weather when we can because you never know how long it will last. It is supposed to be back up in the 70's by tomorrow and Saturday. You won't even know it snowed this week unless you took pictures.

Rusty's Breakfast

Some people like to eat breakfast for dinner. Rusty likes to eat dinner for breakfast. This is how breakfast went this morning.

Me: What do you want for breakfast?

Stone: Lucky Charms

Rusty: Meatballs

No joke, he really asked for meatballs. We had spaghetti and meatballs for dinner the night before and he wanted them for breakfast too. He was pretty upset when I told him that dad had taken the leftovers to work for lunch. I told him I could make meatballs for lunch and he said ok. So I got some meat out to defrost and by the time lunch came around, he didn't want them anymore. He wanted goldfish crackers. It isn't unusual for Rusty to eat things like that for breakfast. Last week he ate a hamburger for breakfast. He didn't want it for dinner the night before but he wanted it for breakfast. The day after that he ate cheese and crackers for breakfast. He is a funny kid.

Hold to the Rizzle, Fo' Shizzle

Have you Heard? Is it another Steve-Martin-was-baptized rumor? CNN.com and hiphopmusic.com are reporting that noted rap artist Calvin Broadus, a.k.a. Snoop Dogg has "converted to Mormonism" after being fellowshipped by Gladys Knight. Okay, so even if it is an April Fool's joke, Keepizzle the Commizzles, shizzle my nizzle fo rizzle.
