There's no rhyme or reason to how this turned out just some random thoughts.

Just because I don't have my own children doesn't mean you can't see the babies that mean the world to me

This is big blue eyes, he's currently the youngest son of my sister Sara and the youngest of three boys. These pictures are perfect examples of his character. He was afraid he was getting busted for doing something wrong in the first one and then relaxed and happy for the second one. He has another little brother on the way and I'm thinking the reaction will be interesting to see how he handles someone stealing his mommy time.

This is mister C and boy is he a doll! Seriously the cutest kid ever. He can melt my heart just by being excited to see me. He currently has a baby in his tummy too and does not feel well just like his mommy. He loves Thomas the train and I mean LOVES it. He's such a fun nephew.


This is tooth-less. He's the oldest and is so smart it's nuts. He's getting so tall and he makes me feel old when I think about him turning 7 this year.

This is Jenn and Bugs. She is my little bug. When she was a baby and you'd life her up she'd pull her arms and legs in and that's why I call her bug. I'm her favorite (Deb is the favorite to all of the others). Interestingly enough she is displaying some of the same characteristics as me (when I was her age).

These two cuties are Bear-bear and Monkey. Monkey is Jenn's oldest and she loves dancing and being girly. She's a little adult and will frequently ask you if you are okay and then tell you that it's okay.

Bear-bear is Mary's oldest, she's hillarious. She knows music better than I do. She renames all of the songs like Kelly Clarkson's Since You've Been Gone, it's the Yeah Yeah song. She loves Fergie's Big Girls Don't Cry and knows the words. She's a sweetheart.



This is G-Monster as I like to call him. He's not a monster he's a doll and likes to run and give you big hugs and kisses. Although, he likes to do things that allow him to say uh-oh. Turning lights on and off is a favorite as is snuggling with his nana. He was having fun smooshing his face up against the glass on the door.

yes i changed all of their names... just an idea from other people and their blogs... keeps it a little more safe?!

I am doing this for you friends who I never get to see!

Life is a complex little thing. I spend most of my time trying to graduate. Since starting my senior semester (last fall) I feel like I've climbed into a little hole that I can sometimes sneak my head out for a breath of fresh air. I love school and I love what I am learning it just consumes most ALL of my time. I want to apologize to anyone who has called me and I've missed it and/or not returned your call. I admit I suck, but starting in May I'm hoping to be a better friend. Plus I am starting a blog for you all to see, so let's hope this helps you peak into my crazy little world.

Currently I am doing my clinicals at the University of Utah in their labor and delivery unit and I'm loving it. I hope to work there when I graduate. It's seriously so nuts how much I have learned since starting there. Too bad Westminster doesn't have us spend more time doing our capstone, we split it up with our critical care hours. Oh I should be studying for an exam right now but I am the queen of procrastinating...
