Today

Today I had to work at an urgent care unit. I went into today kind of bummed because I'm missing out on a family vacation and Im not happy with it. At the unit I was in I thought it was going to be a great day no drama no stress but it was not great. I can't wait to have these last two semesters done!

kaelyns baptism

This was such a special day, kaelyn was baptized on August 9th. So many family and friends came and Im so grateful for their love. My dad and mom shocked me with how the mingled and talked with everyone. They can seem stand offish and hard to warm up but they were great. Kaelyn was awesome and did a great job. Jake baptized her and I could see the proud look in his face. I had to give a few words about Kaelyn and I really was not excited to go in front of everyone but for my kids I will do anything.

yeahhhh back to school

First day back to to school and we are in 3rd semester nursing school. Today we had a math test and if you don't get a 90% you have to retake it. You get only 3 trys! Here is the email from the teacher: "Congratulations!  You passed the math test with 90%." I would of got the 100% but when I went to ask the teacher a question on the problem I got "no, figure it out!" Great start to meeting my new teacher. 

This our Wong Baker face for the day! On the scale from one to ten this is a 10. 10 being the worst!

I had clinic in the morning then 2 soccer practices and I missed back to school night. I know I can't do everything but I was bummed not to make it to the school so see my kids projects. I really pray that all goes well for my semester. Im ready to be done and graduated already, the stress is not fun. Makes me want to be a teacher so that other students don't have to go through what I do.

First soccer game of the season

We usually try to get the number 5 every year and we have been lucky to get it. My sister played basketball for years and her number was 5 and I thought it would be fun for them to get that number.

This is some of the girls on the team. This year we got lucky and know two of the girls really well. 

Love these two ladies, both amazing friends and moms.

Doesn't this just make you smile. Gunner is such a great friend to Jake and I love watching them hang out.

Laurel had a shirt on today that I needed so I went and got one made and they game me one for baby Jake. This season is going to be fun. Today was hot and I was not prepared, the kids cleaned me out of snacks even before we got to the field. I will be ready for tomorrow..whoop whoop!

Jake Owen at the fair

I never realized how close the beach was to the fair.

This little boy cracks me up. He is always willing to give me love.

I guess baby Jake grabbed the pringles prop for the picture. BTW no fish where injured in this picture but they sure got a ton of sour cream and onion pringle chips to munch on. 

Take that monkey backpack! Fallyn was not fond of the monkey harnest. I thought is was hilarious, she would tug on it to obtain her freedom. When Cindy stepped on "the tail" I could not stop laughing. I have always had mixed feelings on the backpack leash thing. I never owned one but I can see why parents would want to use it.

Thank goodness for the older kids that can ride with the younger ones. Jessica loved riding with the kids.

Jake Owen was the performer for the night, it was so cold. So far our favorite concert this summer was Little Big Town.

Beach, ultrasound, activity day girls…oh my!

My friends and I decided another beach trip was needed before the kids go back to school. This time we headed over to Zuma, the day was perfect. The kids played great, the water was beautiful and the company was as always awesome. After the beach I got a call from Amanda and Joe to come see their ultrasound of baby #2 due in February. I was super excited!!! When they did the ultrasound the tech was measuring the femur and I kind of made a noise and caught myself before I said "it's a boy!" Joe looked at me and the tech goes "you guys want to know what it is?" I was right, it was a boy! We hung out for a bit afterward and then I headed home to hear how Kaelyn's first time at Activity day girls went. She loved it, I knew she would. Kaelyn is a very loving kid and is always up to do new stuff. Saturday she gets baptized and she has expressed how excited she is.
