HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUGGA!
Today is my mom's birthday, she is 66!
we went to breakfast this morning, then shopping
for the curtins she has been wanting.
Love you mom, Happy Birthday!!!

the ramp

well here it is.... it is much bigger than i thought it was going to be.
i can just see it now, tons of friends over all the time and broken bones, oh what fun! but, nick is very excited. right now it is in a warehouse and it has to be taken completely apart and moved to our backyard then reassembled, a lot of work. nathans friends are soooo nice to help. they are great!
my husband, the kid at heart.

girls night out

for the last 2 years, we have gone to girls night out, dinner once a month! before we leave every time we schedule our next dinner! we have not missed a month, I really enjoy these girls! they are good friends, we laugh so hard, we cry, we vent, we really have fun! we are there for each other, we've been through good times and bad. I worked with Maria and Natalie at the Hospital, then Maria transfered to AF, then i quit to work for Dr Rose, Natalie quit to be a stay at home mom, then meet angie through natalie and through work, i went to high school with her husband, she is also in maria's ward. small world. Angie is due any day with twin girls, she looks amazing!
We have all gone on such differnt paths but have had fun keeping in touch. cant wait for next months dinner.

free minute

i have a free minute to post so i am getting them all done.

I only work three days a week, but that is still time that i am not with my family. its hard to shut work off sometimes....surgeries/order implants/silicone vs saline/prescriptions/billing/collections/schedule blah!! so I race home to do something fun with the kids, we went to the field by the house and flew kites, we walked there, nick was worried about crossing the road, does that mean i scare him too much about traffic? jorja thought it was so funny to watch nick and the kite, of course the wind quit right after we got there. we also, took them to the park and really enjoyed the warm weather, it was packed, everybody had the same idea!
I am very excited for summer!! we have swimming lessons coming up, nick has summer camp with his school, his birthday is at the end of the month, nates birthday too!!

gifts from bugga

My kids adore their bugga, when nick is hurt or sad he cries for "his bugga" i think it is so important that they know their grandma, she is such a HUGE part of our lives and i wouldnt want it any other way, we are so close, she is my best friend, i love it!! I wish i would have been closer with my grandma cause she is the only one, my father (i dont call him a dad) parents died a very long time ago and i did not know them. I need to write and go visit my grandma in st george more often.
but bugga sure does spoil them, Jorja got a new saucer, she loves it, she thinks she is so big in it. Nick got a new Hulk costume (boys can play dress up too) he acts tough and walks around flexing his muscles! Thank you bugga!!!

house projects

remind me to never do home improvements!! ha ha! we started spring cleaning then decieded to paint the hall, it is not very big but with all the closets, doors and built in drawers it took forever! Then mid painting, nathan deceided to build a new fence in the back yard, it looks great! he is a HARD worker but now he has deceided to build a ramp. yes a skateboard ramp.....
