Yoshirolla Kilomantra... say what?

SO, I work in Search Engine Marketing, and we are having this little in-house competition regarding the ranking of a totally nonsense term Yoshirolla Kilomantra - in my view I have little hope as I don't know anyone with a blog (or enough of them) with a decent enough trust and pr rank to boost me, and I don't have the time to write a zillion articles, or get involved in a natural link building campaign, AND the parents in law are here from the UK (I got a lovely necklace - quite chuffed!) AAAND this little family/personal blog of mine is no great testament to my seo skills as it's not even indexed... *sigh* - I didn't intend for it to be, but I'm slightly miffed now that I didn't pay more attention...

AAAAAND the fact that I am only just creeping out of the google penalty box for bad backlinks - totally unintentional - had to redo the whole site and move to an apache server, and I just don't think that Google or MSN are very pleased wit the site, though Yahoo! seems to have forgiven and forgotten. I'm going to have to work hard at some point to get my PR5's back...Aah, well... it was worth a fiddle anyway... Actually I m busy getting my new shopping cart up, so that is taking up my evenings, and I am starting to get some decent NG rankings again, so hopefully the checks will start trickling in again..

Anyhoo, if you would like to read my somewhat creative definition of Yoshirolla kilomantra - please feel free! (and any and all backlinks welcome - if you happen to have a PR9 site - I love you... really I do)

I was at the SMX conference last week, and had a total blast, and met some really awesome and highly memorable people. This blog ain't THAT private :)

I have also successfully integrated the peeps into the local Sunday School which is great fun and they do such cool stuff and crafts - you know baa-ing sheep singing about creation and big strong arm tactics singing about how strong and mighty God is (when you're a smidge of a 3 year old - it can be very funny to mommy when you try to impersonate the hulk - you know :D) tooo cute!

We finally bought a ride on tractor (mower that is) which still took Dave 8 hours to mow the lawn - and its not all done yet as we can't get around the swamp to the bottom acre of land... if it stopped raining it might help - I am hoping muchly that summer is still just around the corner and not officially here yet.

We're off to the mountains this weekend and possibly off up the Athabaska glacier again - we were so taken with it... and of course with the whole global warming thing having my dad so het-up, it might be interesting to toodle off up there again - the fact that the ice buses are so cool and fun is TOTALLY not influencing me...

Rebekkah (our awesome nanny) is just so great with the kids - Nathan is reading and starting to write the same way (mostly me admittedly) but Rebekkah does crafts, and cutting and colouring and planting and weeding and digging and fan making and stuff) I get to go home and go deeper - and amazingly enough my fabulous biggest - my 6 year old actually has a firm grip of the concept of aerodynamics and is altering his models and building style accordingly -

Josh and Abby are also just so perfect for almost 4s, and getting the alphabet right (sounds and letter names) - counting to 100 and backwards from 20 and Abby is a little artist and a little lady (apart from the very un-princess like temper tantrums), while Josh has a penchant for building blocks, climbing 'mountains' and play-fighting with Nathan. I will say that both Josh and Abby got involved in climbing the fake 'mountain' at the airport yesterday waiting for Dave's folks, and Abby scaled the big one all by herself, AND got down. Josh and Nathan were still too preoccupied with the cool 'rocket' - VERY old plane in the 'spaceport'... airports are great fun for small people... and not so fun for big people... ;)

Until next time then!
