Catching up

We are some cool ladies!

 

  I've been busy making cakes; these were for a close friend... and they loved it.

The girls made these tye die shirts at the Hello Kitty party.

 LOOK! daddy is painting our nails....and he likes it. :o)

  Thanks Auntie Alana and Uncle Jon for the cutest outfits ever.

 

Games at the bowling alley!

Look at our big boy! He's 33lbs now!

We wore Red to support a close friend of ours who has Kawasaki's disease. National Kawasaki Day, 1-26-14.

The girls love to hang with Griffin!

And cuddle with Griffin while they sleep!

 My way to say Thank you to all my hospice workers...flower cupcakes! This last week was my last week as a hospice nurse.

 Our poor lil guy got neutered. The worst part is the huge lamp shade on his neck, not only for him but us too. He's clumsy, loud, and runs into us all the time. This week can't go fast enough for all of us!

           The girls and daddy made a snowman...we have been getting way too much snow with very cold temperatures. Totally ND style!

It's a midget!

 

                  The girls are in BB and love it! Practicing up their skills.

Another cake I made for my 1st customer. A random person who heard my cakes were delicious. So exciting!

 

I had to share, so I made us a cake for the superbowl and then dropped a bottle on it! It was cute!

Happy Birthday mommy! Evan made me a cake and it was yummy.

 Wild donkeys in Arizona, no deer but donkeys.

London Bridge in Lake Havasu!

         There was a air show and a hot air balloon festival...very beautiful!

  We ALL had to label our glasses including Hope who drink beer. :o)

One cool cactus!

                 

We passed some dune buggies on our way up to picnic point!  

                                                     The view from Picnic point! Beautiful!

          

                  Nothing better than a ride in mom's mustang...awesome!

Thanks to Uncle Dick and Aunt Maggie for showing us around, cooking for us, and driving/picking us up at the airport.

Look at my princess, always the most precious when they're sleeping. :o)

Daddy kept the girls busy while I was gone...Kidsapalooza, Ohio historical museum, a movie and bowling. The girls only had to go to the babysitters house 2 days.

              Eva's a great shooter and yes that is a basketball hoop IN our house..practice makes perfect!

The girls at Kids a Palooza. They were watching Luke the Juggler.

Best part of Kids a Palooza...crawling in and out of the swat cars.

              The Ohio historical museum. A Mastadon!

 Girls are going for a ride!

 

One cool race car.

 

Well we have had some busy couple weeks and its all been great! Well maybe not all of it...its been freezing! like 10 below, that's ridiculous for Ohioan's. The girls have had many days off of school where we have had bake days/playdates at the mall..making the most of our days. Arizona was absolutely wonderful. The most precious time spend with my best friends...all of them! We had many laughs and lots of relaxing in the hot tub every night. A party for mom, some cake ;o), a bonfire with some friends, exploring the dessert in the Geo (thanks Hopie for driving), riding in the mustang, and stealing grapefruit from the neighbors tree. Evan and the girls kept busy as well, eating out, bowling, movies, museums, and basketball. I was so happy to get home to my family though I knew I wouldn't see my family for a long time. :o( Since I've been back I have been busy working, baking cakes, and catching up with friends since I soon will be a full-time Labor and Delivery nurse. I am still so excited but still seems surreal since I'm not yet there. I have one week left to do some deep cleaning, stocking the freezer, and catch up with friends. I have finished my hospice career and am trying to finalize my clients up. On a sad note; my very first client: KATIE BIEL passed away on Jan 21st. She went quickly and is now running and talking in heaven above. :o) We nope every one is well and is staying warm this nasty winter.  Thanks for sticking around since I haven't updated in forever. Computer is finally back and working well! 

Excited!

So I'm officially a labor and delivery nurse, I start 2-10-14 and can not wait. I have a girls trip with my mom and sisters this weekend and a birthday to celebrate for myself and my wonderful mother. Time will fly by! Wanted to let you know the good news and to let you know we had to turn in our computer to get fixed so will be without one for 2-3 weeks. So there will be no posts until we get it back...sorry! I hope you all have a good couple of weeks.

2014

So the year has started out wonderfully! I have had an interview in Labor and delivery; the job I have worked so hard to attain. The first part went well, I now have to shadow a nurse on Sunday and the nurse and the director will decide after that. I hope 2014 brings the job of my dreams!

The girls have finally went back to school, the cold front and the below 0 temps was too much for Ohio to handle, most of the cities/schools were closed Monday and Tuesday. The break was much needed, we got in some playdates and went to a children's museum to have fun! We enjoy the time off!

                Oh look at the baby! The girls loved to take care of him!

Ice skating fun, the girls loved it and can't wait to go again!

             Look at those tiny little angels below the tree.

Daddy got the girls addicted to Starbucks!

 Ella made a funny face on her new leap pad, her favorite thing to do!

The children's museum, Ella was trying to work off 1 cookie, it lasted 1 minute...not quite enough.

 Check Ella the Star out, she put on one amazing show. :o)

The delivery girl!

Even face painting there, the girls' best part. Mom not the best artist though. Do you see Blues Clues?

FAMILY TIME!

                         Playdate with Mason and Evie!

  Griffin still loves to cuddle Ella at bedtime or crush her!

Snow days mean fun inside so we went glow putting. The girls had a blast.

 

          Auntie Becky helped give my dressers a fix. They are finally matching! And look pretty good indeed!

Ella was trying to make Griffin a bear but he tried really hard to get it off and became paralyzed and fell over. We love the laughs he gives us!

 

 

             We rung in the new year with Auntie and Uncle. Yes I look like I have been painting all day...the dressers were done that day.

    And the fun of the night was taste testing beer....David was convinced his was the best. Evan knew all of them by taste so he wasn't fun but me...David was happy.  The rest of the night we played board games. We had fun!

                

       David and Becky always like a family picture before they leave. So this is as good as it gets New Years Days after a late night up.

My pretty little mismatched girl.
