April iPhone dump

Some of my favorite April moments!

Karate with two of my besties (and my sweet sidekick of course).

Fox showed me his finger and asked if it was normal. Ummm, no. Definitely not normal kid! :)

We had a little staycation and the boys loved the community playroom.

This is our favorite milkshake place. We had lunch there, followed by a movie in the theater.

I made some shirts for my friends and I for our upcoming graduation. So excited!

Of course the boys needed some shirts as well.

Fox was so happy that his cousin just plopped down on him like this.

A sweet find in our backyard.

Fox's teacher asked us to write some letters to him for his upcoming state testing. I asked Grandma and Grandpa to write one as well, and they really went over the top with it, I thought this was so sweet.

Almost six years old and still keeps me on my toes every day.

Bunco night at my house, so much fun!

BLS class at work, I'm still terrified about the idea that I will have to perform CPR on a real patient one day.

I ordered myself a new watch band and I absolutely love it.

Finn was very proud to be sitting up there and wanted me to take his picture.

Sweet messages from friends that kept me going through rough days. This semester has been insane and I worked about 80 hours a week between clinicals, work, lab days, lectures, and exams. I was so exhausted.

Grandma and Grandpa watched the boys for me one day while I was at clinical.

We finally got some new couch tables, so Finn converted our old one (that Katie and I purchased in 2009) into a candy shop.

He started basketball classes in April, and he has been doing so well.

He was super proud of the metal he received, and even brought it to show and tell at school.

Fox bought this for me while he was with his grandparents one day. So sweet of him.

Pool season has begun!

Celebratory lunch after an exam!

We had clinical at Phoenix Children's hospital for a few weeks, and our instructor took up up onto the roof and heli pad for a picture. She also showed us the morgue, but no pictures of that!

Such a gorgeous view from the top!

My very LAST day in my school uniform!!!

And that wraps up April!

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...

First day of school

This year I have a first and a fifth grader! Aww, he was so tiny in the first picture in Pre-K! Last year of elementary school for this big kid, and Mama is not ready for middle school next year. The boys had a great start to their school year, still taking the bus every day, and while no one is a fan of going to school around here, they seem to like their teachers and classes so far. I'm glad to be getting back to more of a routine for them (and me), because let me just tell you...summer was rough! Haha.

January iPhone dump

A quick look at our January! Nursing Level 2 unlocked...after getting a heated vest, I now also have my personal space heater at work. No one warned me how cold hospitals are...haha! We watched our friend's dog for a few days and Mr. Finn was in heaven. He wouldn't let go of poor Nugget and always wanted him to be right with him. His eyes say "Save me!!!" Cherishing the times that he will cuddle with me. I know I don't have much time left, and that makes me really sad. Self-care...reading a book in our hammock while the kids were playing nicely together. Another downfall of them growing up, is that we now have to order adult meals at the restaurant. I might have to get another job in order to afford these two...haha. Katie sent me this picture of Finn sleeping with their dog one night. Sweet things my co-worker leaves for me when I was sick at work...she made me a to-go tissue packet because the box I kept carrying around kept falling out of my fanny pack that I...
