Does Cleavland really ROCK?

I wouldn't know...I am suppose to be in Cleavland right now..but somehow I am finding myself typing in my bed in Utah..my friend Paige had her her little girl E.J. a littl over a week ago and I booked a flight about a month ago to go see her and sniff her little babies...this morning at about 4am I woke up to a really sad cry...only to find an unhappy baby...meanwhile my mom is sleeping next to because I am off to the airport at 5:30am...and Bart is at work...what was a well organized trip with babysitters...sleepovers..and plenty of snacks on hand..went to hell in a hand basket...I'm so sorry that I am not there for you Paige...I can't wait to see you..we'll really emersyn...

Dinner without dad..

Dinner when Bart is at work is pretty relaxed...we ate on her table in her room while watching Cinderella..she sat on the green chair and my giant ass consumed a pink stool...so simple....so as I have been learning about peds...it has come to my attention that toddlers appetite slows down and they like to snack..all day..snacking bothers me...three meals...that's how it should be..so meals around her are sample platters...hoping she eats at least one of everything..should hopefully equal a full belly....we'll that and all the otter pops..right!

OtTeR pOPs..

We consume at leat six or more of these a day...I just know it feels so good on her teeth..good news though we do have bloody..skin..flaps at least..that she chews on all day..all eight have almost broken thru..threw..?? So there is an end in sight...speaking of teeth my cute little nephew Clay has TWO lose teeth..my sister is all creaped out by it...let him spend the day with me..I'll teach himm how to wrap a washcloth around them and have them out by bedtime...oh the excitement of the Tooth Fairy!!

Hi...

I just figured out that Mr. Potato Head is a good bath time toy! So much has been going on..school has started and it is a SUPER easy semester..I am in Pediatric Nursing right now...I was able to do my clinicals at Primary Children's..my first week I was in CMU...(children's medical unit)..very interesting..my next week was in ICS..(immunocompromised unit..)..very..very intersting..so much so that I am going to do a CapStone..(an independant study of 45 hours..) in the ICS...and my last week of clinicals was at Head Start in West Valley...yes I did say last clinical..we only have three clinicals for Peds...so now I just have class for two hours on Monday...so nice to get a break..I have started my volunteering hours at Head Start...and my little Molly Ann is keeping me so busy...she is such a busy bee...we are unfortunatley getting EIGHT new teeth at once! What was a snot nose from teething has turned into some ymuuiness that we are on a 10 day antibiotic for...SUPER!

My best friend was home from Ohio over the Christmas break..she was so kind to let me throw her a baby shower...I love making food and decorating for parties..I don't think it was my best work but I waited till school was out to plan it...I think she had fun..she got cute stuff too..I made her this little book to remember the day..I had everyone bring a piece of fabric and I (meaning my sister) is in the process of making her blanket...the little girl in the post is Andie..Paige's niece..I just loved the picture..(Paige is the one in black in the background).

What a whirlwind of a couple months..I feel like I have been snooping on everyone elses blog but doing nothing with ours...we had a great christmas...Molly was super excited when she saw all the toys and played with everything...we were at my parents..Bart's parents..and of course she was spoiled rotten...I had the tree down ASAP and it was so refreshing to get our house back to it's simple form...Bart slept next to me eight times in Decemeber..there was a lot of overtime out at work so we ate it up...I was super lonely but the paycheck was NICE! So who is excited to start their taxes?? To some it may be a dreaded time but we usually (knock on wood) get a good tax return...we are going to pay off our carpet...so nothing to exciting but a relief to get that bill paid off...I hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas and was able to see the family that we all so truely LOVE...
