I need a vacation!

Now that El & I are done with school, things are settling down a bit. So it's time for a much needed vacation! I'm having fun planning a trip to Idaho Falls, Jackson Hole, & Yellowstone at the end of this month. I love Yellowstone, I haven't been there since I was a kid. We're going to do a stage coach ride, boat tour of Yellowstone Lake, hikes, Old Faithful of course, Western cook-out/show, fireworks, swimming, & a bunch of other stuff. I am literally counting down the days till I'm off work & on this trip! Should be fun :)

My Graduation

Yay! I'm done with my dental assisting program! It was great, I learned so much & it has opened up a lot of opportunities for me already. There are tons of jobs in this field, so it's great to have some kind of career I can fall back on now. I loved my teachers, they were awesome! And my classmates were great. I am happy to be done with going to school all night straight from work & not seeing my family at all! Special thanks to Dan & my mom for supporting me during these long hours!

obedience school

Dan has been taking Wilbs to obedience school every Tuesday night at "Puppenshnoodles". After they complete this course, they can go on to Agility training. It is going well, I am very impressed with his progress. He still has a long way to go though! I wish I could go to the class, but I have to work till 7 on Tuesdays :(

country Fair

I had to go to Eagle Mountain's Pony Express Days Fair to run my dental office's booth & make/hand out popcorn (I have several burns from this experience) & pass out toothbrushes. So we let the kids go on a few podunk rides for being good sports throughout the day.

Book Club Baby Shower

My book club rocks, I love these gals! Leslie (holding the cake) is having her first baby in July, so we decided to throw her a little surprise shower. It turned out great!

I had fun making my first diaper cake

Pre-school Spring Program

So school got out on Friday. We will all miss El's teacher, Miss Heather. We were hoping she would be Em's teacher this fall, but she is moving to Arizona. El is sad that school's out, she has really enjoyed it.

We are bummed that she will miss the Kindergarten cut-off, since she has been doing really well in school this past year. She already finished the 3 & 4 year old programs, so we will be putting her in Challenger's "Jr. K" program, where she will be able to start some of the Kindergarten curriculum.

So Emma will be going to pre-school as well in August, which is really cutting it close for me to put the finishing touches on this whole potty-training ordeal! It is pretty much impossible to potty-train while I'm working full time.

I am going to be changing my work schedule to just 2 days a week at the office & then another part-time gig I got , scheduling dental appointments in the evenings. I'm really looking forward to this, because I hate working full time!!! I miss my kids!

Six Years

Happy Anniversary to us! We are loving our life right now!

playing catch up

So, yes I've been a blog slacker! I'm still adjusting to working full-time & on top of that I still have had school & everything. Dan has been amazing, driving the kids to & from school, making them dinner, running errands! I am SO thankful for him supporting me! Now, let's move on to my parents, mostly my mama! She has been watching my girls & taking them to get books & treats, crafts, everything! She is such an awesome Grandma!! Dan's mom came over to help out a few weeks ago too & cleaned our entire house, top to bottom! I am so blessed with amazing family support. This whole thing has been a sudden whim for me & I couldn't do it without my family. Anyway, here are some pics of recent happenings...
