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!





Amanda’s Birthday!!!

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.

Semester = Over

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.

McBaby + Grandparents = Cowboy 4 Life

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!

Round Valley Baby Shower

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.

Gone Fishin’

Clancey came up with Cynthia for the Gymnastics Fun Meet so we’ve been having a good time hanging out.  We decided to go fishing with Mylea and the Lund boys.  Amanda was home getting ready for work sleeping so she missed out on the trout catching action, but i’m sure it won’t be long before we head back there soon!  It was Cynthia’s first time fishing ever, and we got a video of her catching her first fish, hopefully i can get that from Clancey.
