A new semester!

I have started a new semester! I am taking anatomy as well as nutrition. I'm excited for nutrition because it will help me to remember all of the things I'm supposed to be doing to stay healthy! Yum... now I actually have to buy all those delicious foods... and better yet remember they are there and need to be eaten.

Nutrition is a passion of mine. If I didn't want to be a nurse so bad, and If I wanted to stay in school for four or five more years... I would be a nutritionist!. Speaking of passions... I am SUPER EXCITED about taking anatomy. It is going to be a challenge. However, I find the human body fascinating! The fact that our cells just know what to do. That 2 simple cells can get together and duplicate over and over again until they created a fully functioning human being! CRAZY! Heavenly Father really knows what he's doing!I've learned that Da Vinci was a brilliant anatomist. He studied the human body to improve his art work. I get to study a cadaver during my anatomy lab this semester! This will be a new... completely AWESOME experience for me! I can not wait till we start studying with them!

All the while my J has been amazing. He picked me up for lunch today so we could have time together. If that surprise wasn't enough, I came home and the laundry was done and the dishes were in the dishwasher! I couldn't ask for a better friend and husband! I really couldn't do this without him! J will start school FULL TIME in the fall, and then we might have to find someone else to do the laundry and the dishes... ;)

Happy Holidays!!!

So this may be a little late... better late than never. We had fun with family for thanksgiving! and Jacob had fun at the annual neighborhood turkey bowl.

And then Christmas came. Note: Jacob and I are firm believers that Christmas should not start until after thanks giving, so 2 days after the day of the grateful, we decorated for one of the best holiday's of the year! CHRISTMAS!!!

Yes it looks like J is the only one actually decorating... Keep in mind I'm the one with the camera.

Christmas eve dinner was very glamorous! We gad grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup (My favorite) with sparkling cider (Jacob's favorite). We had a nice relaxed eve and watched the one and only The Christmas Story!

Christmas day was spent at Jacob's parents house! We spent the day playing games and relaxing. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!!

My Cinderella?

This is a big THANK YOU to my loving hubby! When I was making the big decision of wether or not to continue with school my J told me that no matter what my choice was he 100% supports me! When I made my decision, to stay in school (for what seems like forever) he kept his word. This is how he spent his weekend.

He cleaned our house, and even scrubbed the floor by hand with a rag. (we don't own a mop.) I had to sneak a picture because he was working so hard... and he really did remind me of cinderella while he was scrubbing the floors.

As if scrubbing the floors wasn't enough...

Jake and Ben took my VERY OLD break pads and rotors off and put new ones on. (I don't really know what rotors are for or if I even spelt it right. But the boys worked hard and made a big difference!)

THANK YOU JACOB! I couldn't do it with out you!!!

Pumpkin Marathon!

Happy Halloween!!! We had a pumpkin marathon, and Jacob won! J loves to carve pumpkins, and he got really creative this year!

This is J with all of his AWESOME pumpkins! He is so creative and artsy! I'm amazed at his talent!!!These are his pumkins! Yes, he did four!

My pumkin.. it's Boo from monsters inc.

Elisabeth and I were witches

Happy Halloween from us!!!

more motorcycles

Jacob's brother (Ben) and sister (Rachel) have bikes too. We all went for a ride and we thought these pictures were fun!

Left to right: Rachel (yes they painted her bike pink! A girls gotta have a bike that matches all of her cute pink gear!) Jason (he's Rachel's beau) Ben and Angela (she's Ben's girlfriend) on the red one, and us on the far right!

Alex and Elisabeth drove behind us and took these pics! We were all headed to Leatherby's for some DELICIOUS ice cream!

New Toys!

New toys are always fun! Especially if they are big, fast and powerful, according to Tim the tool man taylor. Jacob was super excited to finally have his motorcycle He loves it!

Notice he still has his bandages from the crash? We must be insane!

Battle Wonds

Jacob says that I'm accident prone... But I say he's accident prone, I'm just oops prone. I'm known for things like almost always spilling my glass of juice on the carpet, dropping a vase and shattering it, etc. in short I'm a klutz. BUT Jake is amazing at getting in big accidents! It seems that he's always getting hurt! He's just your classic boy, who works hard and plays harder! So, here's our most recent adventure!

Long story short, Jacob was riding home on the scooter and some kid didn't bother to look before he changed lanes and moved right into Jake's Liane and almost hit him. Lucky for us, Jacob knew what to do to avoid getting hit. Unfortunately it didn't keep him from crashing! So, here's some pictures of his road rash. We had already started cleaning before we took pictures. I wish I could have gotten a few oozing bloody ones for ya! Sorry! It still looks pretty cool though.

During and after cleaning

this one is his tricep. It doesn't look too bad, but this one hurt a bit more than the other ones in the beginning.

Elisabeth and I cleaned him up with Hydrogen peroxide! Can you see all the bubbling down his arm? It's hard to see, but the road rash in these pictures goes from just below his elbow and then tapers all the way down to his wrist!
