Mario Kart

Mario Kart came out for the Wii yesterday so Jerrod, Emma and I went to Wal-mart at midnight to get it. It is really fun. Now let's just hope that Derek and I can focus on our finals coming up and not be too distracted.

Today was Allison's violin recital. She did great!

Thanks for all of the Comments!

Thanks to all of you who gave me advice on my schooling decisions. I've decided that I am going to apply for both and see what happens. That way I'm not limiting myself in any way or putting all of my eggs in one basket. I'll have to take a full load of classes this summer but Derek will be home so it works out!

Emma's Dance Club Recital

I'm behind on posting so here is a little look at Emma's dance club performance at her school last week. I went to both the morning and afternoon performances so there is a bit of each. I was really annoyed that they didn't put the little girls in front so on some of it she is hard to see. Sorry if the camera shakes. I had a two year old hanging on me. She is on the right hand side in the jean jacket.

Ava Outside

Here is a video of Ava riding her big girl bike. I thought it was cute how towards the end she wanted Jerrod to give her a high five. She was also telling us some colors.

Some Advice Please!

So, I added a poll on the side of this blog to see what everyone thinks I should do about school. I am really confused about what I should apply for. Here are my different scenarios. This summer I need to get into an Anatomy and Physiology class which is a post all in itself. It is going to be a bugger to find a spot. Anyway, after I finish that class I could apply for RN school and if I get accepted I could start in the spring. I would finish in December of 2010. They accept students twice a year and accept over 120. The pros: it is probably easier to get into this program and I could still make good money during Derek's residency, I would have to take a lot less classes before I can apply, I could possibly work with my hubby in the future, probably more exciting than cleaning teeth all day. The cons: 12 hour shifts.

Second choice: To apply for the dental hygiene program that starts in Sept. 09 I would need to get into my anatomy class this summer and then try to take a couple more also during the summer. Then this fall I would need to take more math, chemistry, and another anatomy class. I also have to take a spatial and dexterity test in August. Pros: good money when I am done, cushy hours. Cons: they only accept 32 students a year, so who knows if i will get in, intense program if you do get in.

Third choice is: I can apply for the nursing program in the spring and see what happens. If I get in, I could decide what to do. I would still have to take all of my dental hygiene prerequisites and then if I don't get into the RN program in the Spring I can apply to both the dental hygiene and the RN program for the fall.

Both programs do their acceptances based on a point system. You get points for GPA, score on your dexterity test, finishing certain classes etc...

So, I would love all of your opinions!!!

Kai's Birthday Party

Allison had a friend named Kai at school who is so sweet. He has hearing loss so a lot of times she got made fun of for being his friend. Kids are so mean. He is such a cute boy and he adores her!!! He recently moved to a new school and missed Allison so his mom called and invited our family over for his birthday swim party. I had class so Derek took the kids and they all had a great time!

Gotta love blue frosting. This is Kai.
