Working cows

How awesome is it that I married into a family that has the same interests as me?! While the boys were at drill, Tayler and I got to go help remove IUDs from heifers. I know, I know. It sounds weird that they put cows on birth control and I heard about it from my family plenty of times, but it helps them with coordinating breeding and calving. And it may look gross to some of you....but it was fun to me!

One year

My sister-in-law, Dani, is seriously the cutest person ever. Her little boy along with several of our cousins little boys were all turning one at the same time, so she decided to have a combined birthday party. And the construction theme was so cute!

The boys weren't that into smashing their cakes, but at least they were cute (the cakes and the boys of course!)

Utah Business Games

I can't believe how lucky I am. When we moved to Ephraim I was so worried about finding a job and "settled" for a job at a "call center". Well it turns out that Verisk Health is anything but a call center. They genuinely care about their employees and have given me every opportunity to progress in the company. Sometimes the job is monotonous and hard, but I absolutely love the people I work with. And they must really like me there, because I got the privilege of being chosen to go to Salt Lake and participate in the Utah Business Games. They paid my daily wage, gas to drive up there, plus compensation for wear and tear on my vehicle. And it was a BLAST! They had ping-ping, Foosball, golf simulators, basketball, rock climbing walls, ninja cards, card games, video games, remote control car races, a rock climbing wall, massages, and a bunch of other fun little games. And we can't forget the free food! I seriously can't believe how lucky I am. I didn't win anything, but I had a blast and hope I represented Verisk well.
