Blog? What's that??

I use to blog all the time... but since facebook has became so popular... whats the use? Everyone knows where I'm going and what I'm doing. So, why blog? I'm switching this blog to nothing but about the kids...

I'm back... Hopefully

Some of you may or may not know that Matt and I are getting a divorce. Its going to be a long road ahead of us but I think this is what is best for my children and I.

Jaicee has finished her cheer season. She is still loving it. Stephen is still running around and hitting walls. Brian is growing like a weed and starting to become a little boy instead of a baby.

Jaicee starts kindergarten this year and Stephen and Brian will continue to go to Mothers Day Out program down the street.

They have a new awesome nanny named Heather that they love. She does really well with the kids and even helps me out on her days off. She loves them to peices.

Falling Behind....

I have been really slacking on updating my blog. So, I thought I would try and get back into it. Brian's 1st birthday was on Nov 21st. We had a party for him at our house. All of friends and family were here to celebrate with us. We had a really great time. He had no problems eatig his birthday cake as you can see from the pictures. Too see all the pictures you can click here.

I am working at a foster home with very sick chidren. I work about 48-60 hours a week. I really enjoy working there.

I will do my bestest to start updating this!

Crazy Week

RIP Grandma

You'll live forever in my heart.

Last Friday morning at 6am, I got the call I had been expecting for a while now. They told us that Grandma's liver was shutting down and they gave her a week at the most. I headed to Shreveport as soon as I got off work. She passed away Monday the 7th at 10pm. My life as I know it has been turned upside down. I'm still unemotional about the whole event. I don't think it will hit me until the Holidays. For the rest of my life I will feel as if something is always missing. Atleast she isn't suffering. But how I wished she could have seem my kids become older. She was THE BEST grandma anyone could ask for. I hope I'm atleast half the grandma she was to me. Only those who knew her can only understand what a great loss she is. She is one of the best people in the whole world.

Birthdays and Board Exams

So, I took my state board exam last Monday and found out I passed it on Wed. So, I'm officially a nurse. I have two jobs set up already. One is doing Flu Shots and different places and another is watching a little boy with a g-button on Mon, Tues, Thursday. I'm still open to other jobs, but I'm not going to turn down money right now.

Jaicee and Stephen had their birthday at Boomerangs. It was a pretty cool place. They had a bunch of jump house and slides. They got a lot of toys!! I know they had a great time.

We are about to head up to Mite & Amanda's new house to check it out. They just moved there about a month ago. I will try to update more often but I just get caught up in everyday! Hope everyone is doing well.

You can check out all of the birthday party pics HERE.

COOKIE AROUND THE MOUTH

GUSHERS IN THE MOUTH

WHAT A MESS!

Dora Dora Dora

Matt's mom got here Saturday night. She took Jaicee to see Dora Explorer Live today at Nokia Theater. Matt and I went to pick up the computer from Frys. Then we met Matt's mom and Jaicee at my moms house. We all went swimming for a while. Jaicee loved Dora. It was her birthday present from his mom.

Friday for me :)

Those are pics from Lexie's 8th Birthday. Stephen LOVED skating. We couldn't keep him off the skating floor. He tried and wanted to do it by himself but he couldn't quite do it. We are getting all the kids baptised on August 8th in Shreveport. We are getting at the same place I was baptised so its going to be special.

Jaicee's cheer coach told me yesterday that Jaicee was going to be a flyer. Which is the person that they lift up in the air. I asked Jaicee about it and she replied, "Yes mom.... I love flowers, they smell good". Ha ha ha.

I have one more week of clinicals. Then my next week is doing NCLEX review. Which is the test we have to take to get our liscence. Then the next week I have one test and then I'm DONE. I graduate August 4th. I'm soooooo excited! Can't wait to be working.

Update

Those are some of our highlites from 4th of July. We had a great time. Me, Matt, Stephen, Jaicee, Holly, Curtis, Ainsley, Courtney, Jami, Josh, Christian, and Damien all went to my mom and dad's house. We BBQed hot dogs and hamburgers for lunch and chicken and ribs for lunch. We stayed in the pool most of the day. Everyone except me and dad went to see fireworks... I didn't make it :)

Grandma started her Chemo yesterday. I talked to her and she seemed be doing good. Said she wasn't nauseated yet. Hopefully she is doing good still today.

On Tuesday I got to be in the NICU (Neonatal ICU) at school. I got to watch a live vag birth of a 30W lady. Baby was so tiny, about 3lbs. I watched them put in a breathing tube. It was an amazing day. I think that is what I want to do, but I will have to get my RN first. I dont have school on Thursdays anymore. I have 3 weeks until I graduate. The time is almost here. I'm just ready to say, "I'm a Nurse".

Jaicee started back cheer this week. They can lift her up into a stunt and she stays up there by herself. Its amazing how much she has learned in the past year. She is going to be an awesome cheerleader. And she loves it. After I get a job and stuff we plan on putting her back into dance once a week. I think she misses it a little.
