Utah!

We took advantage of the long weekend and visited Katie's dad, stepmom and brother in Utah over Labor Day weekend.
Luckily, Ashlie was able to get the weekend off too, so we could all drive together. Katie's family had just moved to St. George a few months earlier and we haven't seen their new house or town yet.
It was SO MUCH FUN! St. George was absolutely beautiful and we spent the whole weekend sighseeing, eating good food and making fun of each other.
I've had a few rough couple of months prior and just going there totally took my mind off of things, let me re-focus and just have fun. It was truly a blast!
We went to Zion National Park, visited Western Towns (my favorite) and just had a great time!


Wir haben das lange Wochenende ausgenutzt und Katie's Vater, Stiefmutter und Bruder ueber Labor Day in Utah besucht.
Glücklicherweise hatte Ashlie das Wochenende auch frei, so dass wir alle zusammen fahren konnten. Katie's Familie ist erst vor ein paar Monaten nach St. George gezogen und somit hatten wir ihr neues Haus und ihre neue Stadt noch nicht gesehen.
Es war SO SCHOEN! St. George war einfach nur wunderschön und wir verbrachten das ganze Wochenende mit Sightseeing, gutem Essen und damit, uns uebereinander lustig zu machen.
Ich hatte ein paar harte Monate hinter mir und der Besuch hat mich von allem abgelenkt, mir wieder Fokus gegeben und mich relaxen lassen. Es war wirklich super!
Wir fuhren zum Zion National Park, besuchten Westernstaedte (was ich liebe) und hatten einfach eine tolle Zeit!




We had so much fun, we didn't want to leave. But we know that this was only one of many times and we were happy to come home to these dudes, who had so much fun at "Dog Park Smith" (Rene' & Rodney's House) :)


Wir hatten so viel Spass, wir wollten gar nicht mehr nach Hause. Aber wir wissen ja, dass dies nur einer von vielen Besuchen war und wir waren dann auch froh, nach Hause zu kommen, um diese Jungs hier abzuholen, die ihren Aufenthalt beim "Hunde Park Smith" (Rene '& Rodney Haus) wie immer genossen haben.

August iPhone dump

A few of my favorite moments from August! Meet the teacher for the boys! I received this picture from Katie's wife, such a sweet bond they have. I'm also loving how his pajamas are inside out...haha. Walter came back to spend a few days with us! We watched him last summer, and the boys kept talking about him, so we were all so excited when his mom asked us to watch him for a few days. Notice Finn pouting. He was upset that Walter "only pays attention to Fox". So many big emotions in such a tiny body. Mr. Cool Guy at his dentist check up and teeth cleaning! I was trying to get some work done in my office, but this guy needed some attention. Finn made a bed for them, so they could sleep together. In the end, no one wanted to sleep there, but he was so happy to cuddle with Walter for a bit. My friend got me some comedy tickets to see "Nurse John", so I invited my two besties, and two of my old classmates, and we had a blast, he was so funny. We even got VIP acc...

May iPhone dump

Some of my favorite moments of May that haven't made it on the blog yet. May has been such an incredible month and I wish I could turn back time and do it all over again. Between graduating from nursing school and all the celebrations that came with that, Fox's 10th birthday, Finn's Kindergarten graduation, and all the sweet little moments in between, it was a month I will never forget.  Kindergarten Homework for this cutie, he is very smart, but hates doing it. This was my favorite view at school, right when you exited the building. This was the place where we met up with friends during breaks, and after every exam, and I wanted to take a picture to remember this special place.  Making paper airplanes has been a new favorite for him. This was two days before I took my final exam, and I probably should've been studying, but having an ice cream date with the boys sounded much more fun. He loves to make us laugh. While Finn and I were getting ready for bed, I asked him to...

December iPhone dump

December came and went in a flash! We visited Santa! I started a new job in November as a patient care technician in the Oncology unit at the hospital I'm hoping to get hired by after I graduate. I have heard from many people that this hospital usually hires nurses from within, so I wanted to get my foot in the door, and also gain some more experience before graduating. I was really nervous about handling two 12 hour days per week, on top of school and sharing custody of the kids, and while it hasn't been easy, it has been very rewarding. I love the unit I'm on, the patients, the people I work with, and it's a very humbling experience to work in Oncology.  I took a screen shot of my activity after one of my shifts, I usually average between 7.5-9.5 miles per day, just from walking all over the unit.  The boys are playing bar with their cousin at Grandma's house.  We celebrated their cousin's first birthday! S'mores in the backyard. Nikolaus (a german traditi...
