I want to Thank Katie and Jack, my parents, Granny, Aunt Linda, Shandra and Skye, and Faron and Bray for coming to support me. I wish I could have invited my extended family but we were only given 8 tickets and it was on a Thursday night, so I just thought it would be really inconvenient for them,so we are going to have dinner together in June.

This was my night. I am glad it's over but it still hasn't hit yet.

Graditude Of a Graduate Nurse

Horray! 2 years of nursing school came to a close today! I passed my final and made a B+ in the class. I can't even begin to tell you how grateful I am to my Heavenly Father for listening to my prayers and helping my continually along the way. I could not have made it with out the constant guidence of the Spirit.

I also want to thank all of my family and friends who have been such a huge support to me! I especially have to thank my boys for putting up with my absence from our home and my mood swings from my odd sleeping and studying habits! I love them with all of my heart and soul and could have never made it through this with out Faron being such an incredible husband and Father! (I LOVE you!)

So I am giddy and thrilled to have this be over! I was officially hired to work as an RN on the Pediatrc unit that I currently work on as unit clerk. I am so thriled. I love this area of nursing and am so blessed to already have a job, especialy in these hard times! All I have to do is pass my boards and then I can start working as a Nurse. I hope that I will be able to take them within the next 3 weeks!

I don't think it's completely sunk in yet....I am a Graduate Nurse! I have my Pining ceremony on Thursday May 7, 2009, so I will post some pictures for you soon!
THANK YOU!!!!!

It's been a while

I am extremely behind on our blog. Thanksgiving and Christmas were great. I didn't really take any pictures of Thanksgiving, but I have a lot from Christmas, so i will back track and post those later.

I am in my last semester of Nursing school!!! Hooray! It is overwhelming to think I am almost done. Things are going well though. I am still unsure of where I want to work, but I still have time for that. I am just putting it in the Lord's hands for now.

Today we are trying to potty train Brayden. He looks so cute in big boy undies! I hope he will catch on quick. We are just trying to take him every 1/2 hour. So far we are off to a slow start, but hopefully he will pick it up and we will see success.Brayden is doing great. He is so cute and always saying the cutest things!

January 10, 2009 our family suffered a great loss. My Mema passed away. She was the sweetest woman anyone could ever know. I am happy though that she is no longer in pain that she is in the presence our our loving Heavenly Father and our Savior Jesus Christ. She lived her life following Christ's example and I know she was prepared and ready to return home, even though this was sudden. I am so grateful to have been able to spend Thanksgiving with her, and to have been able to say I love you and my goodbyes to her in the hospital. I am grateful for her example and her love and she will be truly missed until we can all be together again.

January 20th , Farona nd I celebrated our six years since our first date. it's crazy that we have been together for six years. April will be 5 years of marriage!

well.. more posts and pictures to come.

Happy Halloween

oops! someone fell off!

Brayden and I met up with Aunt katie, Jack, his daughter Sydney and Travis for lunch on Halloween. The boys just so happened to be wearing there halloween t-shirts. They were sooo cute together! The waitress asked them "what are you going to be tonight" I told Brayden .. say "cowboy" and he did. Then she asked Travis and he said "A cowboy!" Katie immediately said.. no... you are going to be a brown M&M... and he goes.. "No mommy...I want to be a cowboy!" Now my sister had paid someone to make him a M&M costume.. and no he;s saying he wants to be a cowboy! It was too funny! She told me later that she had to pretend that Brayden called and said he was going to be a brown M&M and then Travy says " Mommy.. I want to be an M&M!"

Kids! What are you gonna do! Travy pants sure does love his Bray Bray.. and vice versa!
having fun!

We celebrated Halloween in Rob abd Charity's neighborhood. They had games and a coostume contest in the beginning. Brayden won "Funniest" ... go figure. I said it was because they didn't have one that said the cutest. He was scared because of this old lady in a skeleton costume. That kind of ticked me off. I told know why she was participating with the kids. Anyhow... the fun begain with Trick or Treating. Brayden would run wi=th the other kids to the door. I would meet up with him and help him get his candy. He kept wanting to eat it on the spot.He is hillarious! He even gave this older couple hive fives! What a cutie! It was a fun time

Our little Cowboy!

The Saturday before Halooween we went to our Trunk or Treat. Bray looked so cute as a cowboy! He would say "yeehaw!" and "iddiup" . Now, not only did he talk the talk, but he walked the walk! He was walking all bowleged. We were like "how does he know how to do that?" But we figured he liked looking at the chaps.. and that caused him to walk like that. He had lots of fun and got to see his "brothers and sisters" ( our babysitter' S kids). Man he loves them! We had rootbeer and funnel cake and Brayden was actually interested in trick or treating. He did so good. He loved being able to get his own candy out of the bowl and then put it in his own pumpkin.

Brayden and Brick oh and he liked to eat his candy too! Here he is eating is "pop"..."mmm good" he says and then offers us a taste. Shortly after this was taken, he takes the sucker out of his mouth, and leans down and over and gives his Daddy a big kiss on the cheek! SOOOOO stinkin cute!
