Spring Break

Spring Break was a blast! This is the first Spring Break I have had since high school so we lived it up! We went down to California and celebrated with the Shotters and the Holyins (aka Brad and Ashley Shelton and Justin and Haylee Caplin). We hit the beach, a play that Brad designed the set for, and Knott's Berry Farm! We had lots of laughs and too much fun!

Thanks Ash and Brad for letting us crash at your house and play without you. Too bad our schools do not coordinate their breaks better. We love and miss you guys! And I can't believe I didn't even get a picture of you! Failed on that one.

Here are LOTS of pictures from Knott's Berry Farm to demonstrate the explosion of fun!

Thank you Dominos for awesome food in our price range!

Jesse's dead face. He's a natural.

And I'm not quite sure why it looks like the ground is on fire. Who knows what I did to get that to happen....

I felt so brave to have this tarantula on me and I made sure there was a picture for proof.

WEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

A funnel cake. For old time's sake.

(We got a funnel cake in Disneyland when we were newly dating)

These three were all matchy-matchy in their plaid shorts one day.

The result of a long day of fun.

I am probably safe to say that fun was had by all. Thanks so much for the fun memories! We can hardly wait for our next adventure!

Yay for anniverseraries!

In case you didn't know and also in the off chance that you care, today is mine and my wife's second, count'em one two, SECOND anniversary! She asked me to post this so we'd at least have SOMETHING on the actual day of our anniversary. She'll probably add pictures of the awesomeness later, but for now you'll have to just trust me when I tell you... we're awesome.

Thanks!

So close I can taste it.

I am done with class.

And I'm so excited, I want to jump, sing, laugh, and throw a party.

BUT then I remember I still have 3 finals and 1 "final event" (which consists of watching a movie and eating!) to go.

And that's when the almost party ends and I get back to finishing last minute odds and ends and studying for finals.

I just keep reminding myself I've only a few more days and then I am free for summer. That's about the only thing that's keeping me going right now.

It's been a long semester. I am done and ready for sun.

And some of this:
And some of this:


And some more of this! :)

Awesome. Just... just awesome.

Anyone who knows me knows I'm a bit of a nerd. With that said:

Awesome.

One more month.

I have only ONE more month of being 21. Oh how I wish I could live it up. Unfortunately in this short time span of a month I still have to do:

200 NCLEX practice questions
11 quizzes
4 papers
4 presentations
3 tests
3 finals
3 nursing care profiles
2 clinicals
1 pedigree chart

And how is this all going to get done do you ask....??? I have no idea! I sure hope there's enough time to finish everything!

On the upside, we have our 2nd anniversary coming up this month as well. I can hardly wait to celebrate 2 amazing fun-filled years with my sweetheart! But for now, it's back to homework!

Life as of late.... and a tad further out.

This month we were privileged enough to watch my 5 cousins out in Heber while my aunt and uncle took a trip. We had a blast with these kids. They crack me up.... It was a tad tricky however to balance coloring, entertaining, activities, dinner, bed-times, baths, etc with homework but we did it and had lots of fun! We even got to go see Brian Regan in Salt Lake with the oldest two boys and had a BLAST. That man is HILARIOUS! We laughed until we cried and have been quoting him every since!

Ty and Logan are (almost) 4 year old twins and they thought our camera was so much fun to play with. So here is a small sampling of life through two 4yr old's eyes. (I have about a hundred more pictures just like these. They just crack me up!)

Ok who knows when this actually happened but I'm going to blog about it now.

My little brother Kadin is quite a soccer player. We are lucky enough to watch him play almost every time we head to St. George since he plays year round. These pictures very well may be from back in November or so but oh well.

We're pretty big fans.

This is before we started to freeze and were nearly blown away.

Let the freezing begin!

My dad was prepared. We may have made fun of him but he was warm.

They even won the tournament so that made it just that much more enjoyable!

So speaking of November, we had our family pictures done then. Tif did an awesome job. We loved her fun personality and got some fantastic pictures. You can check out more of her stuff HERE

Brad likes Jesse. He just doesn't want to admit it.

The memory of this picture cracks me up. We decided to throw all of us kids in here and as they were looking for places to be around me and Brad, Kadin said "I'll just sit here on this knee." (Meaning of course the knee that I'm already sitting on!)

Brad has some LONG legs so me and Kadin got to sit on Brad's knee together.

My sweet husband.

Jesse is such a sweetheart. He's currently off doing our laundry right now while I rip out my hair trying to study for a test.

Love him!

Maybe one day I'll do the laundry and he won't have to.....
