I took out out camera the other day to take a picture of Amanda (who is currently on her way to Albuquerque to take her NCLEX-PN test) and found the pictures of the picnic we went on with Mylea to play with Luna at the Golf Course pond. Click here to see some cool pictures of Luna swimming
We have a colt named Jigsaw that is getting old enough to ride. We have been working with him to help him trust people and learn some of the queing given by the reins before anyone even gets on him. He is doing great in the round pen, and works well on the line (blue ropes in the photos) to turn and respond to ques he is given. This Monday he was actually ridden for the first time by a friend of ours, Bryce Bigham. He has never broken a colt but did great!
The other pictures are Luna getting a bath before he went to a dog show with Mylea where he won Best in Show and Most Protective. He received the second award because he actually got in a fight with a dog at the event.
Sally asked me to make her a ring tone today, and so I started to search for the song she wanted. When I saw it was Jon Schmidt I knew it would be amazing! The only sad part is I can’t buy the album yet. I would recommend you purchase his music. http://www.jonschmidt.com He is GREAT study music, and he was great background music that I listened to on my mission. Thanks Sal!
Happy mother’s day to all. We spent ours at Lyman Lake having a burger fry and hanging out at the Lake. We found this the oportune time to see if all the hype that Luna would be an awesome dock jumping dog was true. We even videoed it so we could have the whole moment on film… Ya, not exactly what we were expecting, but he did get better the more we did it. So after the much anitcipated dock jumping my dad, Cassey Rae, and I headed around the lake to fish a little in a spot that we will be returning to soon. All that we had were some worms, but I ended up catching a pretty big catfish. We named him Charlie and he now resides at the ranch. Currently living in a water trough with our cows he will soon be transplanted into our pond where we will be able to eat water dogs to his delight. Hopefully it was worth it Charlie, even after that fun ride home in the ice chest. I’m transcoding the video right now so I can edit it so if it is not up when you read this then check back soon for some dock jumping and even a video from Amanda’s birthday posted below.
Family, isn’t it about…. Time. Anyone else remember those little goodies? I found these at work today and laughed pretty hard. Watch them all they are really good!
So I don’t have any pictures but I thought I should make a post about my birthday.
It was a typical day, I got up at 4am to get ready for my clinical, nothing exciting happened there. We were in our post conference and it was almost over and there was a knock on the door. I was so taken back when Wes walked through the door with frosties for all of us 🙂 He used to bring all the nurses frosties at my old job at Banner Gateway in the valley and they all loved it. So he decided to keep the tradition going. I love it!! He sat in for the rest of post conference and then stole me away. He took me to a japenes restruant in Pinetop, and it was wonderful! We were the only people in the whole place, so it seemed like it was set up like that! After lunch we just came home to relax for a while. We walk in and in the middle of the living room there is a beautiful dark cherry wood rocking chair! Exactly what I wanted!!! I pretty much think I have the best husband in the whole world… We just relaxed the rest of the day and then after gymnastics people just started to show up at the house, he had also planned a surprise party for me!! I couldn’t believe it! He even made my new favorite cake that morning with Clancey. A white german choc. cake, from a recipe from my grandma! WOW!!! It seemed to never end. It was a really great day, definitely a day to remember!
Great job Wes! I love you so much!!!
UPDATE: I found some pictures on the camcorder so I uploaded them for Amanda.
Amanda called me a little while ago to let me know that she passed her second final well over what she needed to advance to the next semester of Nursing. Wow, it just sounded like her class was a reality TV show. She indeed was not voted off of the island, and is very happy to only have a Sociology test between her and her summer. I’m so proud of how well she has done with a baby in her tummy.
I just finished my last final on my lunch break so I’m ready for a month break before Summer classes start back up. I was defiantly looking forward to a summer of no homework, but when I did my Degree Audit and found I have six classes left I decided to take two over the summer and finish up this Fall.
We’ve both already registered for Summer and Fall semesters, and I finally feel like I have the ASU registration circus figured out just in time to finish up. Not that I’m going to complain about it at all! ASU offered me grants so the majority of my tuiton will be picked up by ASU, and the rest will be taken care of by TEP. Thank you Continual Learning Program. Even though NPC doesn’t have a Student Loan program, thus no Grant of Financial Aid program either, she has signed up to teach the Western Dance my parents were teaching so we can offset her Tuition as well. We know everyday we are being blessed, and are trying to always know what we are being prepared for. Pretty much, the Church is true!
I’m so excited to be done with homework, but a programmer I work with told me his wife said the same thing, and now she has homework everyday with her kids. I never thought of it like that so I guess I may never escape the clutches of homework.
Everyone always has their favorite subject from school, what’s yours?
Call me a Major Geek for thinking this video was awesome! I guess this is a shout out to Mr. Ditmore for not requiring us to memorize the periodical table, and making propane soap bubbles.
Rustyn, I mean Wyatt, I mean our son that hasn’t even graced us with his presence is pretty much a cowboy already. Granted we did catch him roping with his embilical cord when we took the ultrasound pictures, but Grandma McBride is already getting excited about buying things for him. Check these out!
I would like to thank everyone who came and made the baby shower in Round Valley special! It was a lot of fun and a lot of people were able to come. We got lots of very cute clothes for Rustyn and are excited to get his room all put together. Thanks again to everyone that came and I hope you all had as much fun as I did.
Sorry to those of you who were looking forward to another picture of my baby belly. I went through the pictures and this was the best one from our camera. I will get a better one posted soon.
