Busy day

Life never calmed down after school it just got a different kind of busy. I took the boys to go bring chocolates and flowers to Melanie Barron, she had surgery on her knee. Who wouldn't like two cute boys coming to their door. Later we went back to bring Noah his gift.
Today was Andi's bday and we had a cake and presents for her. This little girl is a doll. I love being able to do special things for these kids.
We headed to the UFC gym to do some classes. I get a kick out of watching the kids do their classes. Baby Jake seems to be rolling on the floor a lot but I mean that is exactly what we paid for. ha little turd!
When I got home flowers and a card were brought to me by the McCormick family. They needed my help with a family member and I was able to do what they needed. Nursing school really has given me the opportunity to do for others. Grateful for the gift and kind words.

October events…..

2015

So much has happened in 2015. I have so much to be grateful for and I feel like here I can write everything down without getting judged. The year started with me entering my final semester of nursing school. It was hard, there is no better way to say it. I constantly studied and was not able to do so much. I slacked on birthday parties for Talia and Jess because I was so darn pre-occupied with studying and making sure that I would not EVER have to repeat and put my family through this again. There were times where I went till 2am and studied so that I could get this completed.

June hit and I passed the program! I honestly could not comprehend what was going on. Due to all the studying I only needed 7 points out of 100 to pass, hard work paid off. I had my close friends and family there at my graduation and it was perfect. Once I walked that stage I felt so free and I knew that I had a lot to catch up on and wanted to have fun with my kids…..so I did!

Summer was filled with beaches, lakes, amusement parks, concerts, fairs and hanging out with family and friends. It was want I wanted and I did it. Despite peoples comments about "how I was always out, and was spending Jakes money!" Yeah, someone had the guts to actually say that hahaha Little do people know about my husband and I's financial affairs. If find it totally hilarious and feel that people should dare make that comment in front of Jake and see what he says.

Back to school came for the kids and I was bummed but I was ready to get a job in the profession I studied for 2 years. In august I passed the NCLEX and in October I got a job in Med/Surg at Palmdale Regional Medical Center. It happened so fast! During the time the kids played soccer and we had an awesome Halloween.

The holidays went fast but I loved every minute of it! Here's to an amazing 2016

Friendsgiving 2015

Every year I look forward to going to Friendsgiving. I had to work for a bit in the morning and when I got home it was perfect timing to head to Acton and eat some yummy food with my good friends. Unfortunatly, someone had other plans in store for the Milhoan family. While I was in the shower I heard crying coming from the outside. A few seconds later Jake brought baby Jake in to my room and said, "there's blood. I quickly got out of the shower and looked at the cut and sure enough, it was a good size and it was deep. I got dressed and headed down to urgent care while Jake took care of stuff at the house.
Baby Jake cried all the way there, he said it didn't hurt but was scared of the doctor. He fell asleep while in the waiting room but when we got back to admitting he was pretty calm. The doctor didn't numb him and jake ended up with 3 stitches, a minion bandaid and a toy. Pretty sweet deal.
When we got in the car, he asked to call "the sisters" to tell them all about it.
When I got home I rushed to get ready and headed up to hang for friends giving. It was super perfect and all the kids had a blast. I mean, all the sugar one can eat!

Abort Abort!

I love Halloween! Every year the kids and I get excited about halloween makeup and we talk about what we are going to do for the year. I came across some cool videos on how to do scary makeup and have been successful in the kids makeup for their costumes. This year I discovered how to do cuts. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday I get to hang out with the Anderson kiddos and I really love having them over. Anyway, the kids and I talked about doing halloween makeup when they came over. Well this specific day we thought we would play a prank on their mom. I put some cuts on the kids and sent Rachel a picture of them. I figured I would say something that would tip her off that it was a joke. At first I was going to say Andi fell off the trampoline but I figured that it would seem too real  so I told her via text that Andi fell off the roof. She was totally going to catch on with that, I mean, why would Andi be on the roof. So I get a text back that says, "can you put a butterfly bandaid on it?" Okay, I will bite Rachel. I totally thought she was kidding! So I send her a message back that says "No, Andi passed out!" Ha The final text from Rachel is her insurance card! Oh CRAP, abort mission!!!!! So I knew she believed it happened so se had to send her a picture of us laughing. We all got a pretty good laugh but Im still concerned, its not normal for your kids to be on the roof! fun times at aunt Frans house!

fourth of July

Here is some photos from the hatchery, and fourth of July in Mead. We went with the Evans and Andersons, it was so fun. We didn't get all cute on fourth of July but we did have an awesome dinner at a mexican restaurant, bought fire works and lit them off next to the hotel. It was so fun and perfect for us.
