I'd totally dress up my dog.

I am still surviving grad school. Nothing too terrible except the research class that stresses me out and I am mostly sure that I have no idea what I am doing. So I am taking it each week at a time. I do the assignments, get through each week and then on to the next. So far because I have not started my internship, life has been totally doable. I have been making dinner and keeping the house clean and helping with homework after school.  I love it. Oh.... and i have been watching all the seasons of top model. I know. :( 

Once my internship starts, it might get crazy again. 

I am really thrilled with what I have been taught at BYU-I. I feel like I got a great education there. I just wish i remembered it all!

I have caught a cold and I HATE that. 

Our insurance deductible starts over in October so I have been going to all of these appointments. 

I had to have three old fillings taken out and refilled...my dentist is so sweet to me. I get really sad at the dentist. I cried when they were giving me the gas. Something about getting too relaxed made tears just come out. It made me all sad. He was kind and didn't use the bumpy drill on me. That thing makes me shiver it is so horrible. I need ear plugs put they don't work because the noise is inside your head. But there is just something really special and important about having kind people take care of you. Life could be so much worse. People could be mean to you when you are being a baby but I am grateful for kindness. I hope I always remember to be kind.

I had a wart burned off, a age spot freckly thing, and some bump on my ankle that they cut off and gave me stitches for. Those things were no big deal. 

And I have been doing my physical therapy appointments and they have gotten my knees in shape and my shoulders in shape and my PT guy loaned me a book about Alcatraz. So, I have been having fun chatting with them obviously. I really feel blesses to have our great insurance so I can take care of myself and my children's health needs. 

When we went to San Francisco we went to the Boudin Sour Dough Bread Store. I don't even like sour dough bread but we had to buy a bear anyway. I like the cheesy jalapeno bread and Justine likes the lemon squares. 

An ALLIGATOR!!!!!!

It was so exciting (especially for Kate) to go through the tunnel on the way to California. 

Guys, I don't even like little dogs. But that neighbor dog has got me really thinking about one. The kids would love it so much. And most importantly... I could do this....

Blog update

Missing this college girl cutie!! She doesn't miss us and that is totally the way it probably should be. After semesters of lots of anxiety getting her off to college it is great that she just got in her car and that was that! Since she is our little Bigfoot we get very exited at all things Bigfoot. Bigfoot and pizza? Score!

Justine and Kate made these darling baby feets out of rocks for me for Mother's Day. Love. 

This is the most favorite thing I have seen in the world today. Besides, our neighbor's dog which we are hoping to own. Here is the little cutie.

I like her because she sort of looks like a little Harry Potter Creature. When we first saw her she was shorter than the weeds in the neighbor' yard and we were like...."What is that thing?" And it was this cute little dog! Like a rat dog. I don't even like little dogs. But I like this one. So we asked if we could have her. Hahaha. They have three. They don't need her, too.  

Isn't she the cutest scraggily thing ever? She brings Kate a lot of joy. When we move I am going to get a little dog for her if the neighbors don't let us have this one. 

About the moving. What is going on that no one wants to fix up a house? Isn't there all sorts of popular shows on fixing up houses but no one wants to fix ours? Corey and I fixed it up the first time! I even buried Saint Joseph. 

Everyone likes the house but no one wants to fix it up is basically the word on the street. And the selling season seems to be really slowing down. So we may end up pulling it off the market and putting it back on in Feb and try to do some fixing up in-between. The problem is...we found our dream house. Just a really special house. For us. Not for everyone. But I don't think it will be for sale forever so I just truly am trusting Heavenly Father. There was a man who wants to make an offer but he has to wait until his house sells. So, lots of stuff up in the air. 

Rhett bought himself some new camo clothes. One day he laid in his bed and waited for Justine and I to notice him. It was freaky!!!!! He was hidden pretty well and only had his little eyes showing!

Standing in line for the roller coaster....

You guys, it is the most magical thing ever to look out and see the ocean while riding a rollercoater. It is just so neat. 

Jason gave Zoe the exact engineerical way to climb up this and not tip over....She gave it a good effort.

Kate gave it a good try.

I rode this glider ride with Kate. I hope she remembers it forever. We just went around and around and it was relaxing! 

Little cutie on the giant swing. A gentler ride for little girls!

Hahaha....Kate was almost talked into going on some tower of death ride where you get shot straight up and down....She just wasn't quite convinced. Look how scared she is again...

They had the best view ever! They overlooked the ocean!

Kate's my girl. Her favorite ride and mine too! Anything with a horse and we are there! I got her the cutest horse sheets. They are lavender. I have to make her bed still and surprise her with them.

Zoe CRACKED me up because there was a guy eating a dipped cone and it was dripping EVERYWHERE. Zoe said to us... Get it together! And then a few minutes later....she was dripping ice cream all over the place. We laughed a lot about that. 

This girl She is smart and pretty and talented and FUNNY! I love her so much and wish I had more time to spend with her.

Kate and I went on the swings, another fun one although I am pretty scared of heights. 

Trying out a little kid version of the tower of death. I don't think that is even the name for the ride but it is scary! 

Justine, such a good big sister. Kate wants to do everything with her.
