Busy, busy, busy

It has been a while and quite crazy I might add! These last few weeks have been busy. Shaffen's brother Josh finally got to come home he was gone a little over 6 months. The weekend he was back he brought Jaeden down for a visit. The boys were pretty funny. They made a fort in the playroom, I didn't even think about taking a picture, but they did a really good job. Then they decided that they should catch bugs. They had a few grasshoppers that ended up dieing the next day. That night I had to take Conner to the ER for Croup AGAIN! This kid has had it 5 times this year. It is awful. Later that week he never really got over it so we were in the clinic again and now he is doing better. Once we got things worked out he slept all night for 4 days in a row! :) He has NEVER DONE THAT!!!!!

Other than that we have been able to hang out with Becki and Chloe a lot. They are moving to Duncan and pass through here while they are hauling their things. My boys LOVE that little girl!!! It is so funny to watch them all together. She has quite the personality. We are so excited that they will be closer to us.

I have been really stressed out lately with school and shuffling Conner around. I hate having everyone watch him for me, I feel so guilty. But Nikki and Rachel have been very nice about it. Thank you guys! :) Our schedules this month have changed a lot. Shaffen is now working Monday through Thursday 7am to 5pm. I will be working Friday night shifts. When we made out my schedule Shaffen was supposed to be Monday through Friday. AFTER my schedule was done we found out that it changed. So I will be doing night shifts, it has been a while but I really liked it before when I did it. Hopefully it will be good for a change. Although, Saturdays are pretty crazy around here and I might be a LITTLE grouchy! Sorry in advance! :)

This week was the deadline for the Nursing Application, it was due on October 1st. I had all of my papers together for weeks now the only thing missing was a letter from my boss. If you have a job and want credit towards the program they asked for a letter from your boss stating job duties and just a few things about you. Anyways, I had asked her about it over 10 days before it was due and never heard back. On Tuesday before it was due I saw her and asked her about it and she told me she didn't have time to do it. And that she possibly could have it for me tomorrow (Oct. 1st). So I asked her if it would be ok for me to have someone else do it. I was pretty stressed out. After work I finished it off and was able to turn it in at 11am October 1st. There are a lot of people applying and they are only taking 30 people. I am not ever very confident on these sort of things. I just hope that everything works out! I will let you all know if I do get in!

Last night Carsen called my cell phone and said they were riding his 4-wheeler and wanted us to come and ride with him. I told him we would come in 15 minutes when Shaffen got home. He was way later than that. So about 5:30 he headed out the door with the boys. I stayed cause my visiting teachers were coming over. At 6 I went over to their house. It looked like quite the party. Rachel, Steven and their kids were there also. I was surprised at how well Covin did. He is a little to brave for me. They had a lot of fun. They rode until it got to dark.

Yeah guess what Covin wants Santa Clause to bring........
I can't help but take this baby's picture. He is so stinking cute.....there is a mosquito on his forehead!
Conner would not get on this thing with Shaffen. So when I got there I made him ride with me. He LOVED it. He was telling me "Mama, it not scary!" He kept telling me WEEEEE. And told me to run over the bumps. He is a funny little boy!

This cracked me up, Carsen giving Covin a ride!
I think they just all wanted to keep riding any way they could! :) Dallin and Covin.
These little boys trying to stay out of the way of the crazy drivers! They just played in the back of the truck. I couldn't ever get a picture with them all together. They are just too busy! Thanks for letting us come over and play, the kids had a blast!
This is going to be a crazy month for everyone! All I want is it too slow down a bit! :)

We were glad they all had fun. We never want to get it out and then end up having fun. I hope things get a little less crazy for you. Hope it all works out.

After Rusten got his 4-wheeler and Scott got his Dirt Bike Hunter has been very sad and grumpy that all he has is a bike that looks like a dirt bike and it isn't that fun. SO Hunter also is asking for a 4 wheeler. We should go in ans split the cost and share since I'm sure it won't get used as much as we would think! ;)j/k Good luck with getting in the nursing program. I'm sure you have nothing to be worried about. Your boys are really cute!

Misty,
With all your experience in the ED they would be CRAZY not to take you. You can show all the other newbies how the handle a insane drunk person and really impress them (he he). Good luck and please let us know soon.

So glad to hear we aren't the only ones who live crazy lives! The boys are the cutest and Reagan loved Covin's football game! I'm not worried about you getting in to nursing school--and you shouldn't be either! Just take a deep breath, relax and enjoy life for the next few months before you get CRAZY BUSY!

I love his shirt in the last picture! My dad can arrest your dad. That is HILARIOUS!! Good luck with your nursing application! I hope you get in!
I just got a job at the hospital and will also be working nights. I think I'm nuts! But I'm working pool and will only be scheduled for two days a month. I think I can handle that.
Poor little Conner with getting croup. I'm so glad Kaden's pretty much past that stage. Kate's never had croup, so I hope she's lucky enough to get through her toddler years without getting it. But she's the same age as Kaden was when he was hospitalized for it.

You don't know me, but I grew up in Thatcher and was good friends with Becki. One of my kids gets croup everytime she has a runny nose. I have never taken her to the ER but our doctor always tells me to just watch her while she sleeps and make sure she is getting enough air. There are plenty of times that I have had the phone in my hand ready to dial 911 it is sooo scary. What did they do for your little boy at the ER? I am not looking forward to the cold weather because of croup. Please let me know what they do for you.

Thank you,
