So I know it has been a LONG time since I posted. I haven't decided if I am going to continue this. Now that I am so far behind, it will take me forever to catch up. Does anyone even read this? I figure that most people see everything on facebook...hmmm what to do?

Simon's Birthday

I can't believe my nephew Simon is one already. Here are some pictures of his birthday party.

Yummy cake!!

The Stohls

I can't believe I am this far behind on blogging. I think I need to devote a day during the week to blog so I don't have to play catch up!

On Friday June 11th, the Stohls came for a visit from Florida. Chris and Heather had to go to a book premier (one of their friends wrote a book). We were able to watch the boys for about 1 1 /2 hours and it was so much fun. Here are a couple of pictures of the kids playing. I wish that we could see them more and I am sure the kids would love to spend more time with each other.

The kids playing so nicely together!!!

Garage Sale

I decided to swing by a garage sale today and they had this kitchen for 10 dollars. It is in perfect condition so I HAD to buy it. I am sure Reggie will think I am crazy but the girls LOVE it.

Memorial Weekend

Memorial weekend we decided to stay home and spend some time together because the last few weeks we have been busy and we aren't sure how the weekends are going to be now since the nurses are striking at work. We had a very relaxing weekend and it was nice.

Saturday we decided to try seeing how Emma would do with potty training. It did not go well...she didn't mind having wet underwear so we decided to wait until the fall to try again. Saturday night we bought the Robin Hood movie (cartoon) and had a movie night with popcorn. The girls had a blast but Emma is still too little to watch an entire movie.

We were also able to set up the kiddie pool for the girls on Monday. They had so much fun and it was nice to have a relaxing weekend.

Even with all of this relaxing the girls still found time to get sick. Maddie has been fighting a cold for about 1 1/2 weeks and decided to spike a bit of a temp Friday and Sat. On Monday night Emma was up most of the night with a temp. I took her in to the doctor on Wed and she had pink eye and an ear infection. They are both still coughing like crazy but seem to be on the mend.

Emma's Party

Emma had her birthday party Sunday. We had about 30 people over so our was a little crowded but the weather was nice enough for the kids to be outside. Here are some pictures from the party. Our camera is getting old and not working very good so the pictures are sort of blurry. Reggie messed around with it last night so it is worse than normal...he thought he was fixing it!!!

She loved her cake and frosting!

Graduation

On Saturday I graduated with my Masters of Arts in Nursing. I am really excited to be done but I still have my project to finish so I am still having to do homework. I just need to really take some time and focus on it, but that is easier said than done. My goal is to have everything done this fall. Even though I am not completely finished, it is still nice knowing I don't have to go to class anymore!
