Bussling About

These last 4 months have been very busy for us! This summer was full of weddings, softball tournaments, family reunions, birthdays, the puyallup fair and mommy being at school and getting her hunter's safety course done. This means I get to go hunting with the hubster! I'm so stoked and can't wait for some one on one time with him. He's super excited too; even got me shotgun for my birthday! I had three weeks off in August and just started back the end of Sept. for my 3rd quarter. The time is flying by and it seems like I will be done with this program in no time! I can't wait! This is the quarter I have been most looking forward to. I am in clinicals for the majority of the time and as of yet I am still in my first rotation at Western State Hospital. If you're not familiar with this hospital, it for the mentally ill and to put it lightly, there really aren't very many dull moments there. The kids and Jonathan are still adjusting to my school schedule (because it changes all the time) and to me being gone all too often. And I'm trying to adjust to not seeing my family as much as I'd like to. It seems as though everytime I'm home my husband is gone making money to support us. But together, we are working well as a team and we are so luck to have him. He's a good man. He's been staying home on his days off to take care of the kids when I go to school. It's a lot of hard work for him, but I can see his bond with the kids grow stronger everyday from it, and he can too. He's a wonderful daddy, and they love him so much! Below I posted some pictures from the puyallup fair, but hopefully I will have updated pictures of the kids that Melanie took for us soon :)





Jake and Hailey loved petting all the animals!




On the carousel... the only ride Jake could go on.

This was Hailey's favorite ride. She couldn't go on many either because she's so short, so we did some serious searching, but this one was worth all the hard work just to see her smile like she did. She rode this ride twice in a row.

Having a snack with Mimi

Jake loved this contraption with all sorts of fun stuff to bang on. He loves music!

Hailey was having a blast riding in this boat... it's funny the only rides she was allowed on were ones that went up in the air, and on water. But she could ride strapped down in a little car that went in a circle on a track, go figure.
