Last Finals, Ever

This has been a great weekend.  We have had Earl home and his whole attention.  He finished his last finals on Friday and did great.  He no longer has to sit in a classroom and is getting ready to study for boards.  Yes he has to still study but it is different for me.  In only 3 weeks, he will be done with boards, too and then he gets to officially start on doing rotations and actually seeing what it's like to be a doctor.  I'm so proud of all the hard work he has done so far and how much he has learned.  He has been able to balance school life, family life, and still do his church calling and I am truly amazed at all he does.  What a great example he is to me.
These two years have gone by so fast.  I didn't think that it would when we first started here and I thought that it would be hard to have him gone all of the time.  However, we worked it out really well for our family.  He did study hard and a lot but he always made time for our family at night before the girls went to bed and he helped out with everything that he could.  He has been amazing during this pregnancy even though he had school.  I truly could not have gotten through it without him.
Thanks you, Earl for all you do for our family.  Congrats on finishing your finals and we are so proud of you.  Good luck on boards.

Track and Field Day

Nadya got to go to a track and field meet on Saturday.  Earl took her and they had a lot of fun.  She got to run in the 50 yard dash, throw in the softball throw, and jump in the standing long jump.  It's so fun to see her active and enjoying doing things like this.  Earl said she did really well and it was fun for her to spend time with her dad by herself.

Nadya's Kindergarten Music Program

Last week, I got to go to see Nadya perform in the kindergarten music program.  It was such a cute little program and I am so impressed with how well the kids new the words and the actions to the songs.  I wasn't able to see Nadya before the program and after it was done she looked like she was going to cry because she thought that I didn't make it.  I had to run up and give her a big hug so that she knew I made it.  It was a lot of fun to watch and I'm glad that I have the opportunity to see her do things like this.

Easter Outfits.

I love getting Easter dresses for the girls.  This year they picked out their own and I think they did great.  Nadya had to have a pink dress and she wanted those high heels to go with the dress.  Samantha picked out hers too.  I think that they looked so cute and they definitely have their own opinions on things.

Happy Easter

We had a lot of fun this Easter. We were able to take the girls to an Easter egg hunt put on by the SAA. They had a blast running through the grass and getting their eggs. We then had a visit from the easter bunny at our house and they loved getting a huge stash there. I loved being able to talk to them about our Savior and why we really celebrate Easter. It's fun to have Nadya really understanding it and being able to talk to her. It is so fun to have these girls and celebrate with them.
