Little Eater~

Ellie LOVES boiled peanuts...
pickles
and pretty much anything else she can get her hands on- I love how she looks so guilty in all of these!
on a normal note-- she is eating baby food like a little trooper- she REALLY loves bananas, carrots, squash, pears, blueberries, strawberries and peas- she is not a fan of green beans.

Annual Cow Day!!!

YES! It's true~
the sign says it all~
Let's just say that we had free lunch AND dinner-- all of us dressed up!
Even those who don't eat chicken-yet.
*as a side note it was also Brandi's b-day~ I'm so happy that she was born on National Cow Day- it's easy to remember!

Sleeping Beauties

My new favorite picture-- tender and precious.
I came in from going to the store and this is what I found--love it-
When we first got to SC the girls and J got sick--look at this little sicky-holding her head- sad!

Starting Rotations with Family Medicine.

My amazing little cupcake eater-- I mean helper!- OK-
UPDATE:
Jason got into the Kearn Medical Program in Bakersfield, CA-- quite a feat. That's the good news-- the bad news is that it starts Sept. 24th-- and we were really out of $$$-- and the loan doesn't come in until a few weeks AFTER you start rotations-- seriously?! How do people do this? Anyways-- we decided to try to sneak a few rotations into whichever ACGME certified program starting soonest-- hence our current location-- North Augusta, South Carolina-- and I wish we were doing EVERY rotation here- if I like Bakersfield 1/2 as much as North Augusta- then life will be grand. I'm hoping we can come back here for residency-- or a sub I or 2- something! Jason will be doing Family Medicine and OBGYN here-a lot of med students don't start with FM-- I for one am DELIGHTED that we did-- it has been a great way to ease into rotations so to speak- for everyone, no baptism of fire here- it's been amazing- we live almost on the state line of SC and GA-- so J works in Georgia and we live in SC. There will be a lot of posts coming up about our adventures here-- so get ready.
To celebrate Jason's first day in rotations- we made him these cupcakes-- I know- they look like brains or something-- I got the wrong frosting top-- boo- but they were delish and I think I feel a tradition of "themed food" for the first day of each rotation we pass through- fun!

Off to South Carolina we go!

Emmy and J drove up in the moving van-- let's just say~they had a blast and it was a PARTAY- obviously.
The night before we left-- Papa just couldn't let go.
Booky played with Ems while we packed- aren't they lovely?!
Our last Sunday--could this little bundle be any cuter?!
Josh's little sweetie pie




Ellie's little piggie tails-- seriously?!

Dave's necklace-

I feel like this should be on WW- but here she is-- LOVING Uncle Dave's necklace!

UTAH!!!

I would be lying if I didn't say that I have been subconsciously dreading posting about Utah-- I had over 500 pictures-- yes you read correctly. I have narrowed it down to 90 pictures... It's a wild ride but here are all of the UT posts (there are 16 so you will have to click on the Older Posts at the bottom of the page to enjoy them all)-- here is Justy's last moment with Miss Penny Poo.
Our last hug goodbye- wa.
Another moment I love it!

Two Blue Jays-

Tiffany has a company Two Blue Jays and makes these cute feather hair pieces-- here we are modeling some of them.
Emmy loves hers and wants to wear it all of the time.

horses and walks

Emmy loves horses-
she is so brave
This is Emmy's TT hair -- and her "I want a pony face!"
yep- horse makeout- there it is.
girlies!


My hero Brandi pushing all the girls uphill- love her!!!
Grammy will Elle

Antics!

We had a wild afternoon...
There were aliens...
warriors...
crazy turban men, panty faces and sheet heads--basically nothing but awesomeness.

First Salsa!

Emmy made her very first salsa with Grammy (something I have yet to do)
Grammy please don't be mad at this picture-- you are much more beautiful than this- but it was so cute.

Oh my-- mud pie!

children and their dirt.
dirt shampoo.
Emmy was the obvious ring leader...
Jett was a pretty delighted follower.
London and Jordan were the innocent bystanders- who got the brunt of the filth.



what a motley little crew

Fun at the park.

Tiffy has a very fun park by her house-- we got to play there several times.
All of the kids love it!

It's so nice to just play together.
