We ARE alive. Sort of.

It's St. Patricks day. Are you wearing green?

No?

Yeah me either.

So for those who care, I thought I'd do some updating. 

Our life this semester has been so busy, sometimes I can hardly stop to catch my breath.

Jason and I have become excellent roommates in the last 3 months.

We high five each other in passing on our way out the door.

Tag. You're it.

You're it to watch the kids.

You're it to go to work.

You're it to go to school.

And… bedtime.

Whewf. 

I have been getting opportunities to earn extra money and I am so grateful. It really has been a blessing. But when you are used to being a stay at home momma, adjusting to a work momma can be difficult. 

I used to be a work momma, back when I was a single momma. 

I forgot how hard it can be. 

I am coaching gymnastics two days a week and coaching at meets on weekends. I am also an assistant to an owner of a roofing company two days a week. I have been doing some photography on the side also, which I love.

Anyway, Jason is smokin' it in school, a 4.0 at ASU

(smarty pants)

We have decided to apply to medical school next summer instead of this summer, which was the original plan.

For medical school applications, Jason must have a certain number of physician shadowing hours, volunteer hours, and of course his MCAT score. 

He just quit work in January and was planning on doing all of that this semester. As we got started into our new routine, we could tell there was no way he could do all of that in the next 5 months. Putting off school for another year is definitely not ideal, but for everyone's sanity in this house, it was the right choice. Jason has been very blessed with some awesome shadowing opportunities that will hopefully help him when application time comes. Everything is falling into place and we are so blessed. 

We got called to teach Primary a couple months ago...

"Oh, you're working and you're going to school full time??

Great! We could use you!"

Camden's in preschool and doing great. He drives me crazy and makes me laugh every day. He is obsessed with Navy and still smothers her to death. He also bullies her. I guess he can't decide?

Navy is learning a lot and also makes us laugh every day. She is one sassy pass! She can eat her weight in snacks and is obsessed with Bubble Guppies. 

Well… I guess that's all,

so here's some pictures of our most recent outdoor adventures.
