Going Back to Work

Well last week was rough especially because I had class on Wed. that meant no sleep until the afternoon. Ugh! Oh well it is for a good cause right? Things are moving along at work and I think that I will be happier on the weekend only schedule. It has to be better than all of this running around. Plus-as you all know I MISS MY KIDS!!!! I love being with them and eating them up with love. I don't know how I could get along if it werent for my great friends and family that are helping out-Thank you-YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!! I go to my new scedule this weekend. Yippie only a few more days of this hideous deal I have right now. I do like being back to work however in the bigger picture. I love what I do. Some nights are out of control with crazy patients but some nights are really rewarding. One person can make a difference in the life of someone else. How awesome that I can be a part of that. I am hoping to continue making a difference when I get done with my schooling and can function as a nurse practitioner!!!

My babies are getting so big!!! They are so wonderful and loving. I feel so good just touching my kids. I come home and hug all four of them up and kiss their heads until there is an indent!!!! LOL I have so many great things to show them in the world. I have all kinds of plans to take them places and show them life. I feel so blessed with them. I just can't explain it!!!!

Until next time.

Check out my Slide Show!

Christmas

Opening presents! Wooo Hooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just love this photo of my wonderful boys!!! They are such adorable young men!!!

The boys had a great christmas. They got a Wii for their big present and they just loved it. It is a lot of fun actually-I really like the bowling! LOL They have a good time playing the games and sharing.

Spencers 5th Birthday party

Here is big brother Isaac at the party!

He got this crazy talking bird. My mother was trying to ask it too many questions at a time and when she finally stopped talking it said "what do you want?" with attitude. It was sooo funny.

Spencer loves little stuffed animals especially little doggies!

Happy Birthday Spencer!!!!

He really wanted a pirate of the Caribbean cake. It was really good cake with whipped cream frosting instead of that super sweet kind.

Some photos of my precious boys...

The boys had fun last weekend playing with playdough. Isaac made "cookies"!!!

The boys got their hair done up for the MI vs. MI State game. Go Blue! Close game but we won!!

Spencer trying to catch a snowflake on his tongue....the first snow of the season is always exciting...just ask me about it in February!

This is Spencer holding his dog Callie. He loves this little stuffed animal and he takes it everywhere he goes. I have washed it a million times but he still loves it.

Me and my baby boy! I love this photo. We had fun taking it.

Isaac likes making bug eyes for photos! This is his best work yet!!!!

The boys and I made little S'more people ornaments for the tree. They had a great time doing it and it was fun for all of us to participate in. Below are all of the pieces that we used in a hige pile. This is how the boys "sort" out the pieces!!!!

Light the Night

The two girls in the front were doing a dance for the crowd. Everyone seemed to enjoy watching them. They did a good job.

Isaac and Nathan playing the the "Needle in the Haystack" game. We hid a bunch of toys and candy in the hay and the kids could go looking for stuff. We also had pumpkin bowling, hoola hoop toss and a record toss. The kids had so much fun running from game to game-lots of prizes and candy!!!!

One of my favorite parts of the night-THE FOOD! We had all kinds of food-candy apples, caramel apples, peanuts, cotton candy, bags of candy, popcorn and warm cider and donuts. The kids and adults had a good time. We had a couple hundred visitors and everyone was talking and having a good time with the music and snacks. This was a great experience to be involved with in our church. I hope that we have the opportunity to do it again next year!

This is a video of one of the kids busting a wood board. She was awesome!!!!

Boys Halloween costumes

Well here are the boys in their Halloween costumes. They were so cute! We went to a "party" at a local store that my mother wanted to go to. It was pretty lame but the kids liked wearing their costumes out in public. I can't believe that it is already upon us. After that it looks like it will be full force Christmas according to how the stores have things set up. I am pretty much done shopping except for the little stocking stuffers. It is a good thing because I can hardly move these days!
