Mommies Little Helper

Today Hadley and I decided we NEEDED to make some tastey chocolate chip cookies. 

She helped pour and stir the whole time. Baking is so much more fun with a little helper. Here's some pictures of her teaching me how its done.

Its a shame she can't keep still longer than a second, these pictures would have been even more precious.

Sunday is Blogday

Sunday is my weekly blog checking day, because everyone knows thats the day most people update the world on whats going on in their lives. Tomorrow is the first day of the second semester of school for me! I can't believe I already have one whole semester of nursing school under my belt. Crazy. And I actually did well in it, B's in each class (which I am proud of because me + microbiology = enemies). This semester I will tackle being a mother, wife, and taking pharmacology, med surg, and human development. On top of all that I'm job searching, not so sure where that will fit into my life but if I get one, we will just adjust and get it figured out. We are also CONSIDERING moving, just to a different appartment, because John is not capable of staying in any one place very long, and we've lived here almost a whole year! Which sadly is huge for us. Since we've been maried we haven't lived in the same place (or same state) more than about 7 or 8 months, so this whole one year things is big news haha. Anyways, I hope every one is having a lovely Sunday and that you are all enjoying a much less hectic schedule than I.

Life as of Late

Easter this year was pretty good. It was a little stressful because long story short, we sent Daddy to California for a medical procedure (his insurance doesn't cover him here) and we had no idea when he would be home. Turned out the Easter Bunny brought him home along with all of the eggs for hadley to hunt. She did a great job and found every last one, and proceded to open them and shove all the candy down her throat. Then we spent the evening with Kellen and Allie, and his mom and step dad. These two little sweeties just love hanging out together :)

And now, I'm just trying to survive the finals crams, and then start all over the very next week, when I will be taking excelerated pharmacology, med surge and a super excelerated human developement class. Yikes! Oh and also cram clinicals, motherhood, and being a wife in there. I just have to make it to August, then I at least get a short break. 

And now for a small picture dump.

Easter agg coloring (don't worry, she successfully dumped this all over herself and stained her body pink)

So excited to see her easter basket and all of the candy in it.

Impulsive

Today I had Hadley dressed up all cute, and was wishing I had some preofessional pictures of her. I always mean to make appointments to get it done, but I NEVER follow through with it. So today with her looking all cute we headed to the mall and just got some cute pictures taken. We still need to get some family pictures, maybe that will happen within the next year, maybe.

And now for the pictures

School

You know school has started when you notice people stop blogging. I am a prime example of this.

I have FINALLY started the nursing program. We've learned how to do an adult physical assesment, vital signs, and how to place a catheter on both male and female patients. We don't start going to the hospitals until February 1st, so until then we use dummies, and eachother (only for vitals, and assesments, not catheters :) ).

So sorry for no excitement, but I need to go do some studying.

Meet Baby Noah

My neighbor Christy has a new little nephew!

Mashy face!!

Sweet baby Noah T.

Violet's Birthday Extravanganza

My sweet little neighbor turned ONE the other day!

All the neighbors came over and and we visited while the kids played.

Then came cupcakes, and boy did Violet enjoy them!

(She must get that from her Daddy, because her Mommy hates cake)

Here's how it went down...

 Yes this is the best picture of all four kids...

 Christy and Maisy were a little late due to Christy "drowning" Maisy's eye (and the rest of her head it seems :) ), after an air freshener disaster.

 That's My neighbor Justina's little girl Sophie, she's next in line to turn 1!

And this is Debbie and the babe after a solid 30 minutes of Violet (sorry I can't help myself with her name) working on her cupcake.

Happy birthday sweet girl!
