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!

July iPhone dump

The rest of our July in pictures! Movie date with the boys! I took Finn and his best friend to the Aquarium one day, while Fox was at the allergist with Katie. They both had a blast. Trying to touch the sting rays... Sweet brotherly moment at a play place. One of my patients made this for me, and it made my day. It's now hanging from the mirror in my car, as a reminder how fragile life is. This kid kills me with his watermelons. He always wants to buy them, so he can help me cut them, but then won't eat them. When I pointed this out to him, he simply replied that I could take the watermelon to my co-workers again because they love it when I do. Fox told me he is allergic to Goodwill and puts on this big act whenever I make them go. His throat starts to be itchy and he can't breathe. We might have to get him tested again...hahaha. We visited a lot of play places this summer to stay out of the heat. This was at a library and the kids played with this lite-brite forever. Finn...

First day of school

This year, I have a second and a sixth grader! How is he almost filling out this shirt? This is Fox's first year of middle school, and saying that we were both very nervous about is, is an understatement. A look back through the years... So far, the boys had a pretty good first month. There have been a lot of changes for Fox, but he has been handling them all like a champ. We are looking forward to some cooler months coming (hopefully) soon, and all the fall things!

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...
