My Car

So I got a new car the day after Thanksgiving. I have not been able to take any pictures of it yet, but I did find one just like it online. It is the same year and color. So without further ado...... Meet Kickapoo, my car.

Update...

Ok so it has been a while since I last blogged anything. Sadly I no longer have the teal hair. That lasted for about a week. My job would not let me work with it like that so I changed it back to brown. It was a very sad day for me.

I have started training to be a manager at Saltgrass. I really like it a lot. I get to talk to a lot more guests and if they are upset I get to try to make them happy again. It is such a good feeling when you are able to make them happy again. Sometimes all it takes is for them to know that you are one of the managers on duty, and they are put at ease. I work longer days now, and I am more tired than usual but I think it is going to be worth it.

I know a lot are thinking well what about school... well that is kinda on hold right now but not really. I wanted to go to culinary school and half the classes are about learning the business side of things, and I am going to be learning that as a manager. So I am going to look into some baking/cake decorating classes around town. I'll take a couple of those and then just practice so I can get better and master the techniques. Then I'll try to start to build cliental so I can eventually open my own store. So there is my plan for the next 5-10 years. I'm hoping a lot closer to the 5 years.

Oh I bought myself a new car! I love it. I don't have any pictures of it yet but I'll get some soon. It is a 2010 Toyota Yaris. It's the 4-door so it doesn't look retarded. I have to start getting ready for work now but I'll get pictures up soon.

My Favorite Color...

One of my favorite colors is teal.....

And well if you look at me now you sure will know that it is because.....

Yep. I colored the underneath part of my hair teal and I love it!

Visit from the babies and the baby mama's

It was so much fun having the babies and the baby mama's come visit. Here are some of my favorite pictures of them all.

Showin off some teeth. I just love her little smile. It is so precious.

My artsy shot. I am not the best picture taker but I did get this one and basically I love it. It is probably one of my most favorite pictures I have ever taken.

I just love this picture. I think it totally shows her little personality.

Proof that Charlotte can hold her own. Yeah she is knocking over Hailey. I don't really think that was her intention but she did.

Pretty much I just love this picture of the bug.

The almost twinners. I love Charlottes face in this one. It cracks me up.

Charlotte being pulled on her blanket. She pretty much had a blast.

Charlotte loved the water at the beach.

OK so really all of the pictures are my favorite but that would be about 200+ pictures and I just really don't have the time to put them all up.

Adventure at Kelsey-Seybold Main Campus.....

When you hit a certain age , you are to go in periodically to get your colon checked out..... Unfortunately my dad has reached said age. Since mom could not get off of work, I went in her place. Once they called dad back for the procedure to be done I was rather bored. I had my ipod to listen to but it was not doing a very good job keeping me entertained. About an hour later, they call the family of Daniel Nelson to come back. I get up and head on back there to see him. He was sleeping when I got there. I had no idea if I was supposed to try to wake him up or just chill until he decided to wake up. I chose the latter. After about ten minutes of waiting and the little machine saying he had no blood pressure, which he really did because he had a strong pulse, I decided I would try to wake him up. So I call his name a couple times and he opens his eyes and looks at me and says, "Oh, well I guess I already had everything done." I told him that he had. He was asleep again already. I say his name again and then I'm talking to him a little bit trying to see how he was feeling and everything. The nurse comes in and checks everything. She leaves again and dad is going in and out the whole time. Then he kinda wakes up a little bit and is telling me about how the nurse missed his vein when she was putting the IV in and then he started to doze a little bit. He opened his eyes a little and then he started chuckling to himself a little bit. I was real confused about what he was laughing at, but he went on to tell me that he was relaxed and he opened his eyes just in time to see a little penguin dance across the foot of his bed. I was dying laughing!
Then, he asks to see the little print out of the pictures they took of his They took a picture of a polyp that they found, don't worry the biopsy came back alright, and he goes on to say "Hmm I have a little breast inside me." I was trying so hard to keep my laughter in, and asked him what he was talking about. He then showed me the picture and low and behold he was right. That is what it looked like in the picture.
He got up to use the bathroom. The nurse helped him up and everything, and helped in there and closed the door behind her and then she was getting everything ready for him to see the doctor again. She and I were chatting a little bit and she noticed she hadn't heard anything in the bathroom for a little while. (They pump your stomach and intestines with air when they do the prosedure so it has to get out somehow.) So, she being a knowledgeable nurse yells out, "Mr. Nelson, keep your eyes open, and take long slow breaths." Then you here from the bathroom, "Can you like see me in here?" I once again started laughing.
We get to talk to the doctor eventually and while we are waiting I hear about how the nurse messed up on his IV about another 5 times.
On the way home, it is about 2pm, and dad insists on getting the GPS out and using it to see if there is any traffic to avoid..... There was not any traffic.... the whole way.... and he was still trying to do it.... while telling me about the nurse missing his vein. It finally started working when we were almost home. And the GPS let me know there was no traffic to avoid. Oh and we are about 2 minutes from the house and he tells me that I better get home quick because he was feeling nauseous. I stepped on that gas like nobodies business and got him home fast. I was not going to be cleaning out that car. Then we arrived home and he went to sleep again.
That is my adventure at the Kelsey- Seybold Main Campus clinic.

There's nothing wrong with Ohio....

I went to Ohio earlier this month, and had a blast. I got to spend time with Laura, Adam, and Charlotte. It was so much fun. Laura and I went to the art museum and amish country. We all went to the John Johnson farm and Kirtland and the park. Basically we had fun wiht whatever we did because that is just how we roll. I'll just put up some of the pictures and videos I took while I was there. There are some good ones.... If any of you look at my mom's blog you may see some duplicates due to the fact that she stole some of my pictures.....

I put the camera down on her level and she was so excited.

BIG BROWN EYES!! I love them!

Such a happy baby.

All ready to eat..... She gets a bib when dad feeds her...

This is basically her expression the whole time she is in the swing. She definitely has the Nelson mouth open thing down packed.

Charlotte always has that leg up in the air while she is in her carseat. It is so funny.

Adam wanted Laura to spin him on the chair to how that when you pull in all your limbs it makes you go faster..... it did not work out too well this time.

Charlotte became quite the talker while I was visiting. It was so cute I just loved it.

Not again....

My sophomore year of high school I got the ingenious idea to take up skateboarding. My career was short lived and pretty much non-existant. Tragically, it ended with me lying in the middle of the street with a busted up ankle, and the neighbors yellinng at me to get out of the street because a car was coming. My ankle has never been the same since.

Well......

I bet you all thought I was dumb enough to try the skateboarding career again. Well I did not.

Last night in an amazingly played volleyball game, I went up and blocked the ball, and made it go down on the other side... Yay point for us! But.... on my down from being in the air, someone moved, and I landed on the foot of a girl on the other team. It made my ankle twist and roll and pain there was lots of pain. I was on the ground with my ankle in the air. I heard it pop about 5 or 6 times, so I knew I was hurt pretty badly. I get up and try to see if I could put any weight on it and that was so not happening. I hop over to the side and get some ice. It is already nice and swollen, and it had only been a couple minutes. One of my team mates sisters is a nurse practicioner here in the Rexburg area so we head off to her house so I can get checked out. She examines it which did not feel real good since she had to kinda poke around on my foot, and told me that if she were to just diagnose it right there she would say it was broken. Great thats all I need is a broken ankle. So 2 of my roommates and my team mate head to Madison County Hospital, so I can get X-rays done. I get there and get into triage in a matter of minutes... the joys of living in a small town. They examine it too, which still did not feel good, and determine that I need x-rays.... duh I could have told you that one. They take the x-rays and come back in and tell me that it is too early to see if it is fractured. So they gave me an air splint and some crutches and told me that if it doesn't get any better in about a week then I should go to the orthopedic surgeon, and have him take a look at it. So today I have been iceing it and keeping it elevated and taking pictures of it. It looks pretty wicked.
