Busy life, happy life

This last couple of weeks have been crazy. School has consumed my life and the stress is very high. I am in my 7th week of school and I have cried like a baby several times. There should of been a warning lable that said this would happen haha. I passed my practicum and now I get to be in the hospital this week! The girls took me out on a much needed birthday dinner and it was just perfect. I love these girls so much, they are a huge blessing in my life. Enough for now need to write a paper haha the joy!

blah

School has been okay and I'm going into week 4. It seems a blur right now because it is so much. I feel like I don't know enough and there is not enough time to know it. Dani and I studied at Panera for 6 hours until we started going crazy. She really has helped me a lot. I'm burnt out!
The girls thought it was funny to glue a googlie eye to the baby's for head, I didn't have the heart to get mad because it was kind of funny.
Tuesdays have been my favorite day of the week! I get to watch Hunter and hand with my son. I love getting tons of hungs from these cute boys.

Soccer has begun

Busy weekend for our family was in full effect! Three soccer games were scheduled and they were about 40 mins apart. The heat was terrible but luckily we got done by 12noon, so it wasn't too bad. Kaelyns coaches are Ben and Jen, Kaelyn was very surprised. Talia shocked us all with her soccer moves, she was all over the field and cracking Jake and I up.

School

I'm still in shock with finishing the last two weeks of school with extra lab hours. It is hard, I'm not going to lie I did have to remind myself I wanted this in my life. The hardest part is last minute occurrences. For example, the first week Jake got called out for storm and the kids had to be shuffled around. There was a lot of tears and they weren't coming from the kids, they thought it was great. Soccer and homework were a big issue. I mean how was I suppose to study and get them where they needed to be? Well, I got it done and that is all that matters. If you want something in your life you need to do it. You can't wait around and wait for a miracle, you need to keep going. I have had the support of many and that will never be forgotten, it just makes me realize who is there and who says "Yeah, I'll help" and then runs for the hills. Ha gotta love it! My sweet mother inlaw had brownies for me when I got home and sent Jake flowers to give me. They were needed, little thoughtful things these two weeks got me though it all. I give much respect that do this program!

More from the beach

I got to hang with these cute guys. If was funny because the girls tucked them in and they were playing baby.

Jake helped out a friend and rode the bike to Ryan's because he got it impounded. I think Jake was more excited than a fat kid with cake. But seriously, he looks HOT on this bike!

Bren says this is how he landed Rachel!

Family works together!

I'm so not good at keeping up with this blog being in order from summer fun. Here is more from the beach that I found.

Long day

With the girls in school now, Jake is my little buddy. I had so much to get ready for pictures on Saturday and he was a champ with all the stops I had to do. Friday night I had a parent team meeting for AYSO, it was long and I was tired but I want to help out. When I got home Jake was asleep, I swear the man is talented with how he can fall asleep in so many places. After I took the picture I got worried because I wasn't sure he was breathing. lol Thanks to my fabulous sistas the colors suggested for my photos were great and the girls hair came out adorable. Hannah was our photographer and I love her photos that she takes. She took our photo about 6 years ago in Big Bear and it was just a random shot but my favorite photo. She captured our lives for what it was then. Wes and Jake met at work and we have kept in contact ever since. Wes actually works with my brother! The family is amazing!!! Every time we get together I leave with tears in my eyes from laughing. The kids loved going back to their house and checking out all the animals. They found it hilarious that the one pig they have is called Oprah.
Im very grateful for this family, for the love and laughs we have with them. The Sons family is one of a kind and I look forward to more get togethers with them.

Back to school

The day before school started Lauren invited us to the pool. Very much needed break and it's great to just enjoy the company. I had to run last minute errands to get ready. I was not prepared! I had a soccer practice and a dinner meeting with friends later that night. Busy busy busy! Jake took the day off in the morning and my inlaws came to see the kids go to school. It was an okay start but baby Jake was CRANKY, he is not use to waking up early from summer vacation. I kept telling myself that I would get them in the routine of going to be early and waking up but we were so busy with family and vacations that it just didn't work out. The kids seem pretty happy with their teachers and today my little buddy seemed a lot happier.
