Hello everyone! I figured it was about time to update the blog. A lot has gone on since my last entry and things are going well. We went to Utah and rented a home in Highland which we are VERY excited about. It is on a lovely street with a park in the back yard. Literally. It has a huge field of grass and a big park right there. I am so excited. In the beginning of June we will load up a UHAUL and I will drive the van and we will officially move to good old Utah. We have loved it here so much but having much more square footage, a park in our backyard and being so close to so much family is definately easing the pain:)
The story behind this picture is that we were walking home from the bus stop on a hot day two weeks ago and the kids just begged me to let them put their feet in the water. Yeah right. So I say yes and before I know it they are pulling their pants up high and getting deeper into the water. So finally I told them if they wanted to get all the way in the had to do a cannon ball right into the big cold pool first. So of course they had no problem doing it right away. We were laughing so hard, it was a blast. Fun, fun California memories.
I love seeing Jane and Catherine having so much fun together. They are really beginning to be not just sisters but friends. I hate to say I have already heard the line "You can't wear that, it's my shirt!" from their room. I know it is inevitable that they are going to have their moments about sharing clothes and a room and time in front of the mirror but for the most part they are pretty good to each other.
So one sat afternoon I hear these voices yelling for me to "come find us mom, come find us" and I couldn't tell where it was coming from. Yes, they were coming from the dryer and when I opened the door this is what I saw. It amazes me how they can find something fun out of something so boring.
I love this picture the most because they just have so much fun together. It is my absolute favorite thing to hear them laugh and laugh to each other.
Well this memorial day weekend was a fun one. On Sunday Stu participated in the graduation ceremony of the dental school and the day could not have been more beautiful. It was a blue clear sky and 75 degrees and it was just perfect. I am so proud of Stu for getting into the Pedo program. Two more years did not sound appealing but he did it and looking back we both agree it has been well worth it. It has been a very happy two years for us. We had our little Mack, got closer to some awesome friends and have really enjoyed our ward a lot in the past two years. Most importantly, Stu can officially be a pediatric dentist and that is what he wants to be. I wouldn't want him to wish he could have been one. And I know he'll be a great one. Good job babe!
Me, hugging the graduate. Love those graduation hugs . . . .
And Kisses! Is this so cheesy of me? I don't know why but I just feel like being cheesy. Sorry! I can have one fun picture, can't I?
Dad is in a gown because he is part time faculty at the dental school. Just one day a week. He likes it though. Mom and dad were so supportive and came over after and had dinner. Mack is one happy little guy with his Nana and Bobo. (we call Stu's dad Bobo) He is the only child that came to the graduation because i don't really leave him with a sitter yet. All the other kids came to Stu's dental school graduation but I didn't want to try and make them sit through another one, they would just be so bored!
These are the three other Pedo residents Stu graduated with. L to R is Stu, Leslie, Jen and Danny. They are all so awesome, we will miss them a lot. Jen's little baby is Ella and she had Ella on the exact day we had Mack! We were in delivery rooms right next to each other! It was so crazy. She said as they wheeled her out of her room with her new baby she could hear me screaming as I was having Mack. Yikes! Memories.
