Can you name the Muppet?

For work, I had to rate an ad regarding this “Mahna
Mahna” YouTube video.  Can you name the two old men Muppets that appear at the end of the video???




Do you know their names? 

Actually, I know the the answer. I've just had this song stuck in my head for the past 3 days and wanted to share the love with everyone else.  :)  Perhaps, it's not stuck in your head right now... just wait... it will come.  Enjoy!

First Come, First Serve


Stewart wins!  I checked the Utah driving handbook.  Whoever pulls to the line first and makes a complete stop has the right of way.  There’s no rule that you have to yield to on-coming traffic when making a left turn at a 4-way stop.  

I still feel like it is a safer way to navigate and I will probably stop a few seconds later than the other car across from me to make sure he knows he has the right of way. Or perhaps I’ll do my best to avoid any super busy 4-way stops.  Luckily for me, there aren’t very many 4 way stops left in Utah.  Utah likes the roundabout. Which in my reading… I learned that in a regular 4 way intersection, there is 56 potential points of conflict, whereas with a roundabout there are only 12.  Hmm, interesting.

Who Has the Right of Way?


Stewart and I recently encountered a 4 way stop disagreement and we're not sure who is correct. 

This is the situation:

We came up to a 4-way stop with a car all ready in front of us. There were no cars to our left or right, only two cars directly across from us.  The car in front of us and the 1st car across the street went through the intersection.  We pulled forward to the line and stopped first, before the other car made it to the line.  We were turning left, the car across from us was going straight.  Who has the right of way?

A) The car across from us, that is going straight, should yield to us since we pulled forward to the line first.

B)  We must yield to the car going straight since we are making a left turn.

Grape Stomping Woman Cries Like a Seal

I know this video has been around for awhile, but Livy just told me about it. I cried I was laughing so hard.




I'm not sure what makes me laugh harder... the seal sounds this woman is producing... or the fact that the anchors back in the studio look like they might be trying to stifle a laugh.

I know it's mean to laugh because she actually got hurt.  Poor, poor lady.

My First Week

This was my first week as an Ad Quality Rater for Google (technically WorkForcelogic) and I loved it.  I can't believe I'm getting paid $15/hr for this.  My job is exactly as it sounds...  I rate the quality of Google's sponsored ads that show up when you do a google search.  It's beautiful.  It's interesting to see what people are searching for.  I get to learn a lot about random products and things I didn't even know existed.  

I really do have the best luck ever.  I can't believe I got this job that's too good to be true.

Thanks Google!  



The Results Are In....


Stew came in at 15 lbs 8 oz .  

 Congratulations to Christy!!!  Who guessed it perfectly!


I was actually a little surprised,  I thought 16 or 17 lbs felt about right.  15 lb 8 oz only puts him in the 50% for his weight.  I guess he's average, although people are still surprised to find out he's only 4 months when they ask his age.

Christy, your prize is in the mail today.  What is it, you might ask?  You'll just have to wait and be surprised.  But it fits into a legal size envelope and I use the word "prize" loosely.

 Hmmm ... curious.

Can You Guess How Much Stew Weighs???


Little Stew isn't so little anymore.  He is a "healthy" eater.  I have no idea what he weighs.  His 4 month old check up is next week on Thursday .... who thinks they can guess the closest to his actual weight?  (Perhaps I'll even award a prize to the winner.)

Fun with the Cousins


I  babysat Sunny's kids a couple of times this week and Evie sure had fun.  It's a shame we don't live closer to all of the cousins.  


Group shot of all the rascals


Emily kept pulling her underwear up super high and tucking her shirt in.  
It made me laugh every time I saw her do it.



One sleeping bag + 4 kids + 1 exhausted Amber = Hours of fun on hardwood floors



I can't say no to this face.  
Jackson can have anything he wants when I'm babysitting. 
(As for Ben and Emily- not so much. Sorry guys)
