long time no see

So time got away from me... I think that happens when you are in nursing school. I haven't done too much babysitting meant to update after my 3 days with the twins... which Im not sure if I can even remember what we did then but I do have very funny pictures from some places we went to. And I've want Himani, Eliana and Cora and Amelia.

Past Peds! I enjoyed it so much. I know thats where I want to be. I was at KU so you got a mix of everything and it didn't give me any clue as to where I want to go into with kids. That was the last 8 weeks of school. It was rough, I went through my worst episode of depression at the beginning and was ready to take a break from school but I think that would of made it worse. I am getting better though.

I am in OB currently. And Im not crazy over it, but my day of clinicals in Labor and Delivery was the best day so far. I got to do lots of new things. I watched alot and didnt pass out! One girl actually did, and when they made the phone call to my instructor they said "Nursing Student Down." But they didnt say a name, so everyone in Postpartum said "Thats Steph!" But HA it wasnt!

Highlights in my life lately...
-Blink 182 concert with My Chemical Romance... AMAZING. If you really know me, you know I have an sad obsession with Blink, almost like I was a tween with Bieber.
-Omaha trip with Josh, Stacy, Luther and Addi. I will load pictures later.
-New position at work... but the hours suck because They are the days Josh is off and the popular babysitting nights. = ( But more money for being at night and on the weekends! Yay!

I havent uploaded any of my pictures from my phone for several months. So Here is an older 1 of Addi with her first Slurpee.

Newest Edition

Josh traded in his Tahoe for a new FJ.

Busy Busy

I have been so busy. I have worked the last 10 days... and still have 5 more days to go before a few days off. And I am still doing babysitting in between. The new job is going good. Just trying to get in as much as I can before school starts because I am not sure how much I will work other than the weekends.

Addi and I have been having a good time the last few days. I put a alphabet train in her room, that she loves, shapes, color and number charts. But I am trying to read more to her and yesterday she didn't want to eat dinner, she rather me read to her, I thought it was so cute.

Addi has a big head! It's hard to get some shirts on and off of her.

On the Merry-go-Round at the mall.

We have a hard time wanting to leave each other sometimes.

Rootinest Tootinest Cowgirl

Addi will be turning 2 in a couple weeks. The theme is Toy Story because she is crazy about it. It all started by taking her to Toy Story on Ice. Josh's cousin is taking her 2 year pictures on Sunday, and my cousin Lesley made Addi her own Jessie outfit. Lesley had made her own jessie outfit the year before for Halloween for her job.

Today we went to the Disney Store to pick up Jessie boots they had. She had to wear them around the mall.



And here is the outfit she will be wearing for part of her pictures and at her birthday party!

Sweeepy Kids

The other night when I was with Lindsay and Gabriel, Kelly told me bedtime could be at 8 because they were so worn out.

Well, Gabriel fell asleep at the kitchen table waiting for me to cook dinner. And Lindsay fell asleep watching Peter Pan.

Gabriel was not going to put up with any nonsense and when Lindsay was playing with her food, G told her to stop playing with her food and eat it!

Having to give the kids separate baths now, I took L up after she fell asleep so incase she fell asleep again I could carry her to bed. She asked if I had noticed the new shower curtain. I said I had and that they had lots of new things in the kitchen. I said the counters, dishwasher, she said sink and then I said oven. She started laughing, and said that was funny because they didn't get a new oven. It tricked me and she would go look downstairs to see if it tricked her too and see if it looks new.

They were drooped all over me while reading bedtime stories and they were out like a light by 7:45. Hopefully they didn't wake up too early the next morning, I tried to keep them awake as long as possible for that reason!

Big sisters are life savers!

Probably a month ago I watched Cora, and for the first time Amelia.

Amelia and I laid on a blanket on the grass while watching Cora play in the yard. Amelia fell back and she started crying. I decided it was time to go inside. She wouldn't stop crying. I didn't think she hit her head very hard when she fell back, but I guess it was a mixture of lots of things, like me being a stranger, her hurting herself, her being tired and hungry. But she just wouldn't stop crying. Cora and I tried everything to make her happy. We tried all the tricks I was told to try. It was a little early but I got her bottle ready and tried to feed her. Cora the amazing singer she is, started singing "Puff the magic dragon" to her, and it worked! She settled down a bit while her bottle was warming up. But she didn't want her bottle. Cora suggested we tried to feed her upstairs. She ate a little and was still fussy. I got her to burp. I felt bad for not being able to play with Cora. She had a list of things she wanted to do with me. We walked around with Amelia singing to her and rocking her around. Finally she took the rest of her bottle. As I was burping her, it all came up. Not on her, all on me. Cora was just outside of the door and said "EWWWWWWW!" I told her not to look and to brush her teeth. When I finally got Amelia down it was time for Cora to go to bed.

Here is a picture of Cora singing to Amelia in the kitchen to calm her down.



Hopefully the next time I get to watch them, it goes a lot better!

Long time no see

Well this summer has been crazy! Summer school, babysitting and for some reason I feel more busy than I was when I was taking nursing classes. I have stories from babysitting and pictures I will be adding

I have been sick since Monday... and finally feeling okay to be out of bed so I figured I would update.

Has anyone watched Lost? Josh and I just recently got into it... We are watching it on Netflix. Everyone said how crazy and confusing it is. I wondered what they were talking about, but now we are in season 3 and i am totally lost! Some say its a waste of time and the ending is disappointing. I hope not.

This summer I have been doing lots of crafts! I have several I am doing for Addison's 2nd birthday and my friend from nursing school is pregnant so I working on a cross stitched growth chart! very time consuming! I am teaching myself different patterns for dish cloths, because the same old thing was getting boring... here is my latest.
