Update on our family!!

Well, I have great news to share. I finally finished school. I will be getting my diploma soon with the degree called Medical Laboratory Technition. I am super excited to let you all know this. I have worked on this for the last 4 years and am glad to be done.
Jesse has been great! He has enjoyed helping us get our garden ready and helping me get things set up for GG's 80th birthday party. We have just about everything set up to go for it, now just the final touch's that can't be done until the special day. And Virginia is super excited too! She even has some relatives coming from Kansas!
I have been working more in Evanston, which has helped out families income out a lot. They offered me a position working weekends, which I took. This month I am doing a lot of training and working extra hours to be able to run the lab with just me and a phlebotomist. I have been concentrating more in Microbiology ready the culture plates and I am getting much more confident in myself as I do it. It was alot to learn and bugs are always changing.
One week while Jesse and I were up in Wyoming, he came to work to visit me. I let him swab his hands and then we incubated it over night. Needless to say he now does not argue with me when I tell him to wash his hands. They were nasty! He thought it was a cool experiment. I think I will have to do that with my four neices so they can see. I know that Addison would love it!
Randle is still working with the excavation company and we are thankful that he has a job. He still is enjoying it, and we just hope it picks up over the summer.
I hope all is well with everyone. Hopefully I will post more often now that school is over.

Easter Photos 2009

Disneyland 2009

I just wanted to share some of the photos that I took during our two days at Disneyland. We all had a blast except for the way busy day on Sunday! It was super crowded. Jesse got to see Goofy on Sunday, which was the best part. We finally found him after a day and a half of looking. It made Jesse's day! He loved Minnie and Mickey and Pluto too! The only bad part was that Jesse started getting a fever early Sunday morning, but as long as we kept the Motrin in him he was fine. He was able to enjoy himself and so did we. Next time we go back, he will be at least 45 inches or taller, that way he can ride all the rides.
We are so thankful that we were able to see all Randle's family in the area. Lee and Jeannie, Erik and Nikkie, David and Rita, Mark, Cristina and baby Bela, Margie and Jerry and Lesley and John. It was so much fun, the weather was great and I can't wait to go see them again!

Jesse's Party!!

We had a little party for Jesse on Saturday the 7th of March with all his little cousins. He had so much fun! This year was a lot funner than last year in the sense that he was so excited to see his cousins and open his presents. He got a lot of money this year, he was telling people that is what he wanted, but he called it his "Shamu Money". I will post pics of our California trip and you can see how much fun he had.

Hard Times but Good Times...

Well this year had been kind of rough, but yet still has had it wonderful moments. My hard times have been turning 28. I dredded turning 24 and now just 28! I keep thinking, if I feel this way at 28, how will I feel at 68? I hope at 68 I am dancing Salsa and am active as ever! I have alot to be thankful for. Randle and I both still have jobs, which so many are out of these days. The hospital in Evanston where I work has cut everyones hours becuase of the slow time of year, no body wants to meet their copays again! I know I dont! I can still go up everyweek and work, they have just limited me to 16 hours a week, which I am lucky is better than ZERO! So in order to save money and watch more of what we spend, I have been making homemade bread every other week, so if any of you home make anything else that could help save money, please share!!
Last week Jesse was sick, with what seemed like food poisoning. This week I have been sick. Of course I got sick over the weekend and didnt want to go to the ER, (dredded copay) so waited to call the Dr. on Monday. I had the nasty respiratory bronchiolitis, sorethroat and could not breathe. Jesse was so sweet, he laid with me on one side and Lilie on the other side with three quilts on top of me. They were both trying to keep (or should I say GET) me warm. Everytime I would cough he would kiss me on the head and ask me if I was alright. He treated me like I treat him when he is sick. He was so gentle and kind. Now that I am feeling much better, minus the cough that everyone stays with you for weeks, we are getting ready for Jesse's b-day party this Saturday. I didnt mail out invites, because, well, I didnt fell good. So I am just letting everyone know you are welcome to come over for cake and ice cream. We are just keeping it to that because we have saved to take Jesse to SeaWorld and Disneyland for his birthday. We fly out the 12th of March to Orange County. We will then drive to San Diego and stay with Randle's cousin Lesley. On the 13th ( Jesse's b-day) we are spending it at SeaWorld. I have got on there webiste and shown Jesse the dolphins and shamu. My mom printed a pic out of Shamu so that he knew about him. We will then spend the 14th, 15th, and 16th with Lee and Jeannie, Randle's aunt and uncle in Covina and do Disneyland the 14th and 15th. I am hoping that we can take Jesse to the Ocean before we come home. I think he will love it. I will post pics when we get back. We are all so excited, except Randle, he hates Disneyland. I think otherwise this year, I think he will have more fun with Jesse this time.

I hope that you are all well and doing great! Here are some pics that I took for fun of Jesse yesterday...Enjoy! He also loves having pics taken with Lilie!

....Long time....

Well since it has been awhile since I have posted I thought that I would give you an update. I have still been driving to Evanston everyweek and it is going well. Jesse got to stay with Randle last week while I was up there for three days. They did great together. Jesse only asked for me a handful of times, other than that he didnt mind that I was gone for so long. Here are some photos that I took the other day of Jesse and Lilie. They were having so much fun playing together and Jesse was letting her give him kisses. It got funnier when Lilie would try and tackle Jesse. BTW, he calls her his "Big Sister!" I think it is cute.

Another update...We are taking Jesse to Disneyland and SeaWorld in California on March 12th. His 3rd Birthday is the 13th of March, so we will spend that day at SeaWorld. We are so excited. We have not been on a family vacation in I dont know how long...Well that is if you dont count our trip to Reno to see Grandpa John. We are flying there, the 9 hour drive to Reno was enough, I would rather fly next time.

Our power went out last Saturday night and we were finally able to get it back on on Wednesday this last week. We only had power in certain rooms, which was really weird. Come to find out, it was due to a cable or power supply of some sort underneith the house. Jesse was happy to have power back on in his bathroom.
I hope that everyone is doing well. Enjoy the photos.

Jesse & Lilie playing

little beauties...

Well, my sister-in-law Kim came over the other day to get some Mary Kay supplies and she brought the girls, Camryn & Cheyanne. They were so excited to play with Jesse. When they seen us looking at Makeup the girls wanted me to make them up. So here are some photos after I got done putting makeup on them. Jesse wanted to put some on too, so I let him put on the clear lip gloss. I thought that was safer for when Randle came home.

Evanston Trip

Well as some of you know, I am going to be working more. I have decided that I will be heading to Evanston again every week for two days a week. It will help out income out a bit. But when Jesse and I headed up there on Monday the 29th, Jesse got to spend the day with his Aunt Kay and cousin Kaisha. He had the best time, not only did Kay of course spoil him to death, but Jesse found him a little girl friend about his same age. Her name is Emalin. She shared his blanket and his little couch with her. And when she asked him for a kiss, he gave her one, and without saying anything about getting girl cooties from it. He liked her alot. He also had fun with Kaisha. For the most part he would just call Kaisha "Her" while I was around. But they had a blast. I am hoping to go and see there new house soon. It is pretty bad that My two year old has seen it before I have.
Happy New Year everyone!!

Jesse

Jesse wanted to help me mop today!
