California!

What better place to be than CALIFORNIA during June!!

As you probably know, my family loves California, the Beach, and Disneyland.  This year was special because we went with the Jeppesen's to celebrate Grandpa & Grandma J's 50th anniversary.

Yes, this was their idea....on my 50th anniversary I hope to be on a tropical island.  But being the fun-loving couple that they are, we celebrated their 50 years of wedded bliss by going to Cali!!

This is a picture of McKell's countdown on the white board.

Grandpa & Grandma J looking quite sassy in their Disney hats.

We LOVE Minnie...

This vacation turned out to be one of our best ones yet.  Time spent together is all about family, fun, and everlasting memories!!

Jason's New Love....Blue Betty

So, Jason has a new love!  Her name is Betty, she is blue, he likes to put wax on her and rub her down....ok, sorry, this is a family blog!!  No, she is not a woman...she is a motorcycle.  His third in four years!!  No, he does not have four motorcycles....he gets tired of them after a few months, and trades them in for younger, more beautiful models.  I consider myself lucky that he has held on to me and is only trading in motorcycles.  So I really can't complain...girlfriend or motorcycle...I'll go with the motorcycle!!

Betty was delivered from Florida while Jason was at work.

This was great afternoon entertainment for the neighbor boys.

I guess we'll see how long Betty stays around :)

Random Thoughts at 4 am....

Here I am at work, once again at 4 in the morning.  Because I am charging, I have no blood draws right now.  Four a.m. is the time we are scurrying around, drawing our patients blood, checking i/o's, hanging meds, and the list goes on.  For me, I am pondering several thoughts.
1.   Why do I always want peanut M&M's while I'm at work?  I don't want them at any other time...just at work, and usually at 4 a.m. 
2.  Why did I decide to get a new scale?  A fancy one that tells your REAL weight...not the weight you previously believed, and also tells your fat percentage.  Maybe that's just TMI for a girl, ok?  This is also why I am not buying the peanut M&M's in the machine that are calling my name. 
3.   Why do I love to look at people I never again want to see on Facebook?
4.   Who decided 12 hour shifts are a good idea? 
5.   Why do I find it endearing that my newly admitted patient writes on his medical history that he is visiting the hospital to "check for cancer"?  I love his optimism.  I know...I'm rambling...that's why this is called "random thoughts".  Here's to a good day with lot's of sleep.

Kelsey's Graduation

Kelsey has graduated!!!  Wow...I am so proud of her.  When she told me she was pregnant, I didn't know how she was going to be able to finish high school, let alone graduate with her class.

Thanks to some very special people, namely her high school counselor and her home school tutor Mr. Hollie, she was able to graduate and walk with her class. 

What an accomplishment for her. 

On a side note....I'm still waiting for my diploma from Lone Peak...I'm pretty sure I deserve at least a little one for home schooling her the last 6 months.

Anyway....on to bigger and better things....like college!!
