Last Day Of Preschool!

Logan had his last day of preschool for the year yesterday!?! I dropped him off at his normal time and then came back at 10am for the 3/4 year old sunflower tea party. It was so cute! The teachers had pictures of the kids in front of the ruler on the wall, one from September and one from May so we could see how much they have grown. Logan got a lot taller and his face changed a lot. Matt and I are so proud of him, he did so well this year and is excited about being in the 4/5 year old classroom next year. He will be going 3 days a week next year and staying for lunch bunch on Friday's which he is very excited about doing (Ava starts MDO on Friday's next year, yes that's right, I will have Friday mornings all to MYSELF!) At the end his teacher's gave him a certificate and he gave them a big hug an said goodbye. It's going to be kindergarten time before we know it!

Spring Show

Logan had his Spring music show at preschool last week. Of course Logan didn't do any singing, he had missed the show the day before because he was sick which I think had a lot to do with it as he did all the body movements when he had his Mom's night show, but it was still cute!

The kids love their bubble wands the Easter Bunny brought them this year!

BNAT Is Over!!

I finished up class Friday and boy does it feel nice to be done!! I missed one question on the final giving me a 99.5% on it. After we took our finial's we had evaluations with our clinical instructors.

My grade break down was:

Theory/Attendance: 94%
Lab:98%
Clinical: 95%

So I am very proud to say that I earned an A in my BNAT program!!!
My clinical instructor had such great things to say to me and I feel so very lucky for this experience. Met some great friends along the way as well.

Of course it is not all fun in games yet, I still have to pass my state competency exam on June 16th which is also our graduation night from the program. I am giving myself a week off and then I am going to start doing practice tests to prepare, not to worried about it, but if I want to actually be a certified nurse assistant I kinda have to pass! I started looking for jobs, but most want your name and registry number from the states registry so I am kinda stuck until June 16th on the job front.

It was so nice not having to go to clinical last Saturday, but it was also pretty sad knowing our patients are back to their normal care, which not bad, is not as great as the care they get when students are on the floor :<)

Almost there...


Our Baby...

is 19 months old now! So I guess we should stop calling her our baby :<(



And so looks like her mama!


Brandi at 17 months!

Happy Mother's Day!!

I hope all the Mom's out there had a wonderful and relaxing Mother's Day yesterday! I had a wonderful day which started with breakfast in bed with Logan and Ava. Logan made me a really cute card and a flower in a "vase" at school, he was very excited for me to open it! They also got me some yummy cheese popcorn from the new popcorn shop in town and beautiful tulips. Matt gave me some big chocolate cover strawberries as well. I love my family what can I say. After breakfast I went out to get a pedi which was nice and relaxing and then I joined the masses at Home Depot to get some flowers.

A perfect Mother's Day!

Zoo Day!

Last Friday Matt was home and it was a beautiful day out so we let Logan play hooky from school and we headed to the zoo! We had a really nice day and perfect weather. We took the kids to see the dolphin show for the first time, which I think they both liked (other than the loud music and Logan was worried about getting splashed!). We got home just in time for me to grab my bag and head off to school for a test. Glad we went though!

Zoo Fun!















This was Logan's favorite part of the dolphin show:
