September 2018

Keeping up with my blog has gotten a little more challenging over the years.  Especially as the girls have gotten older and all of us are involved with more activities.  It is spring break 2019 as I write about these last 6 months.  
Jane started pre-school at Iglesia Cristiana Mont Sinai at the beginning of the month.  They integrate English and Spanish into the curriculum, so we might have a little Spanish speaker (or undersander-er). The best part is wearing these cute little uniforms.  Unfortunately, Jane only likes to wear dresses, so I had to shop around for appropriate wear.  But isn't she darling!

I started a new job at Seton Medical Center in Harker Heights.  It is literally 7 minutes from my house.  I work in the surgical services area, which has been a little bit of an adjustment.  I see patients for about 1 hour at the most.  It is very family friendly though.  I work roughly 8-9 hours three days a week Monday-Friday.  I don't have to work on the weekends, unless I decide to take call.  Call is about once a week on the weekdays and one weekend every two months.  Super easy.  Eventually, I'd like to pick up some shifts in their ICU.  

Kate lost her other bottom, front tooth this month.  Her teacher pulled it out in class and she got a fancy tooth necklace to keep it safe from the school nurse.  She was excited because it was just like the story Fancy Nancy and the Too-Loose Tooth.  It is fun to see her grow up, but it is also a little painful.  I keep looking at her and thinking about when she was 18 months or 3 years old.  My little KitKate is growing up so quickly!  

I wrote a little note from the Tooth Fairy.  It says "Make sure you brush a little longer. Your tooth was a bit on the rotten side." 

Rebekah turned 34 this year.  I pampered myself with a haircut and pedicure.  We went out to eat at Richard Rawlings' Garage and I bought myself a Nothing Bunt Cake.  The girls and Bryan got me nail polish and a new car! 

The next weekend we traveled down to Kerrville, Texas for their triathlon.  Bryan did the sprint this year and I completed the Olympic distance.  If I remember correctly, Bryan got 4th in his age category (lost by 0.01 seconds) and I got 3rd place in my age category. Bryan's little brother, Michael, came out to race in the sprint triathlon as well.  We stayed out at Bryan's grandma's house and the girls enjoyed seeing and petting all the animals.

We started the girls in gymnastics every Tuesday at Texas Tumblers.  They both really enjoy it, thank goodness!

June 2017 in Utah

We have been keeping ourselves busy here in Utah. 
Kate's been taking some gymnastic classes. 
 We've been enjoying sunny, warm weather and cooling off with sprinklers. 
 All the cousins are trying to win Jane's affection- Moana you tube videos are the trick!
 The girls got all fancied up for a Disney fun run at Thanksgiving Point. 
 The girls loved meeting Elsa, Anna, Cinderella, Moana, and Aurora up close.

 Kate has also been taking swim lessons.  She is doing quite well!
The best part of all is that we get to hang out with our cousins all the time.

America, here we come!

Bryan left for Captain's Career Course for 9 weeks and I decided it would be fun to visit all my family in America while he was away.  Unfortunately, we were waiting on Jane's passport and scheduled a flight a couple days after he left.  My dear friend, Abby, took me and the girls to the airport.  I survived almost 25 hours of awake time (only 15 hours of flight time) with my little monsters.  To be honest, they were actually great.  Kate enjoyed her own personal television/movie player.  Jane happily slept in my arms and crawled on the plane's floor.  I prepared myself for many breakdowns and tears, and it was anything but that.  I also was very grateful for a plane ride during my kids waking hours.  I think I would have been more stressed if I had to keep my children asleep while everyone else was sleeping. 

Anyways, we made it to America safe and sound.  We have been adjusting to time change and routine change and all the big cars, stores, and roads. 

 I put Kate in gymnastics at the local recreation center and she is excelling. 
We've gone sledding with grandpa and cousins.
Kate sledding by herself.
 We have visited the ice castle in Midway and took pictures with the Frozen cast.
And watched Koko practice her bobsledding.
