My Baby Is Turning 4!

So, I'm so sad because my baby is turning 4 years old next week. I took her to get her pictures done and as you can see she is growing up way too fast. She keeps asking when she gets to go to school. She wants to start Kindergarten right now, but I think she might settle for preschool. She is such a good little helper and big sister. She is a total drama queen and says that she is going to be on "American Idaho" (AKA American Idol). I hope she does!

Graduation!!!

Well, it happened. February 6, 2009 I graduated from nursing school! I know, I can't believe it myself. When I started all of this two years ago I never thought that this time would come. But surprizingly it has flown by. I hope that Mark, Hallie & Brinley remember me. I can't remember a time when I wasn't stressed about some test or homework. I'm looking forward to having my nights to my self and my family. I'm so thankful for all the love and support that came from my family, and friends. Mark has really surprized me at his ability to cook and clean and take care of the girls. He has been a saint and I know he is just as happy as I am that school is over. Now I'm just waiting to take my state boards and then I will officially be an RN!!!

Here is my best friend from school, Sheryl!!! She is so cute!

Merry Christmas!

I can't believe it is Christmas already! Where did summer and fall go? This year is especially fun because both of the girls understand what is going on and are so excited. Hallie is determined that Santa is bringing her a snowmobile, among 10,000 other things that she has seen on TV. Brinley wants what ever Hallie wants. Hallie is also understanding the true meaning of Christmas which is so sweet. Brinley just got a big girl bed and is loving it. The only problem is that she gets up in the middle of the night sometimes and plays, or sings while she is rocking in her chair. Things have been so crazy this year with school and everything. As the year is coming to an end, I realize how truly blessed I am. We have had countless help from family and friends. The girls have been such good sports about going to daycare and not having mommy to play with all the time. And Mark has been so amazing to help around the house and be Mr. Mom on Fridays and Sundays. I'm so thankful for my beautiful Angels and wonderful husband. That is the best Christmas present ever!
