Ward Halloween party

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and I love dressing the kids up. Yes, it comes with stress and running around but it is worth the effort if the kids are happy. This year, they all wanted to be scary, what is wrong with my kids? Jessica was Wednesday Adams (from the Adams family), she looked like a dead creepy pilgrim to me. Kaelyn was Sally from nightmare before christmas, Talia was a weird clown and baby Jake was a Ninja Turtle. I found a youtube video and the girls picked what they wanted and I just followed the videos instructions and they came out great.
The ward party was fun, the kids ran around and got a ton of candy. It was a pretty laid back event.

Happy birthday Fran

I am truly blessed to have amazing people in my life. I cannot even begin to describe how much love I felt on my birthday. My kids were so excited to put together things with grandma for me when I got home. My friends took me out to a fabulous birthday dinner and show. Jake took me out to have sushi and I was able to wear my new outfits my friends laid out for me. My home was clean when I got home! I was in shock and so humbled by it all. I LOVE YOU ALL and my birthday was perfect.

Katy Perry

Keeping secrets from the kids is a hard job. Since summer I have been keeping from them that we were going to be going to the Katy Perry concert. My friend Kelly planned and it and I figured, why not! We got a limo for the girls and they were so shocked, I have never heard so much screaming in my life. When the kids got to the house we told them we were taking them to concerts in the park, they were kinda happy but not lol. I did a word scramble for them to figure out where we were headed and from then on they were all smiles and screams. The concert took a while and Kealyn knocked out first but the others were going strong. What a great night to spend with my girls.

Busy and loving it

Now that my school schedule has changed, I have been able to go to baby jakes field trips and I'm so very happy about that. He is loving school and the teachers are amazing.
I was able to also go to a UCLA women's soccer game with Jessica and Kaelyn. It was a neat experience and I love that I get to be apart of it with my girls.

Crazy last minute

Being in school limits so much that I can do! Our friends were headed to Mead and Jake was going to go by himself and I was going to stay at home and study. I just couldn't do it, I kept getting the feeling that I needed to go. So I did! I bought a ticket after class and jumped on a plane, it was awesome. I have never done that and I was scared flying on a plane by myself but I enjoyed it. Becky and Nikki drove me to the airport and Rachel and Laurel picked me up….AWESOME friends!!!!!!!
Baby Jake skied, the kids played and I relaxed…loved it all!

Pedis is done!!!!

Thank goodness that pediatrics is over. That was a rough semester!!! I do know that I love working with children and I can see myself working in this unit. My teacher taught me a lot, and I was surprised that I only cried one time in that 8 weeks. thanks to my nursing friends, who stopped me from walking out. The bonds I have are irreplaceable and I am grateful for them!

Some fun

Trying to catch up on my blog when I have the spare time. The kids have been doing great in soccer and loving every minute of it. I'm, on the other hand, having a hard time being everywhere all at one time. Some of the games are at the same time and Jake has been working a lot of weekends.
Now that we are in the midst of the holidays all of the fun stuff is out and of course we need to play with it.
