Oh so busy....

So it has been a bit since I have written anything. I went out to Arizona for my dad' s surgery and I was out there with the kids for about 6 weeks. Here are some of the things that we did.

A little boat trip!

Picking pumpkins!

A little brain surgery for dad!

 Halloween: Cooper was a snake and Carter was Crush the Turtle.

What's Happening!

So, I thought that I might get everyone caught up on the happenings in our house. We are still here chugging along in Sandy , Ut. Cooper is a active 2 years old and Carter is 1! I am still working at a free standing ER in Draper, which is usually slow but when it is busy... So working in a free standing ER you quckly learn that your are there alone. I guess I should not say alone you have the ER staff but you don't have an enitre hospital or multipule doctors to help. I work with some great nurses and I am so glad that when they hired for this place they only took nurses with ER experience. I was recently up for the manager position at this ER and it made me realize that I needed to go back to school. So. now I am going to school full time to finish my Bachelor's in Nursing and then I will work on my Master's Degree. I have not deiced what my Master's degree will be in yet, nursing education, nursing informatics or nursing administration. Going back to school has been quite the endeavor. Since I am doing it all on-line it is a lot different than the last time I was in school. I truly believe that I have read more in this semester than I ever did at U of A. The sad thing is the class that is requiring most of my time is a lame gen ed class and it is only 200 level!!! I will be going home to Tucson for about a month starting in the next couple of weeks. My dad will be having surgery so I thought it would be best for me to just take off the time from work and be home so I don't have to worry about things so far a way. Which will leave Nic home alone!!!! Sorry everyone in Utah! :) But other than the the hustle of life things are all good. And I hope all is well with everyone else too.

Here are a few pic of the kids!!

Here is cooper riding his 4-wheeler. And carter acting like a big girl with my phone. Cooper is helping back up dad in the skid. So funny to watch

Here are a few recent pictures of the kids! Cater is loving Cooper's little 4wheeler!

A day with dad....

Here are a few pics of us playing in the yard!!!
Finally the weather is getting nice enough to get outside!

Here is Cooper playing in the yard. He was cracking me up that day because he kept this hat on. Mr Cooper also went to the doctor for his 2 year check up and he is already 36 inches tall. Which puts him just above the 75%tile. Yes he is tall but the thing kiling me is his feet. He is growing out of them so fast yesterday I bought a size 8 thinking that they would be too big. I tried them on him just a little bigger than just the right size. Crazy!




Here is Miss Carter trying to feed herself. And this is when dad learned not to leave the jar of baby food on her tray even for just a second.








This is a little trip to the zoo.

Cooper giving Carter a little drink of his water!

Here are a couple of quick pictures of the kids at easter. I was able to get cooper to sit with carter for a picture in the backyard. So I will dowload them later today.

Here are a few pictures from our trip to Colorado. Cooper loved this sled!!! Even when his dad and uncle built a jump in the run.
