final-ly

I am officially, and successfully done with my finals! and my third semester of nursing school is finally over! Two more to go and I will be a happy girl! I keep telling myself that this next semester will be much better because I like the subjects (mommies and babies) and the clinicals are only eight minutes away instead of an hour away. So things are looking good for me :) One week of freedom and i'm back at it once again.

nO dOuBt

Tonight me and my sister Abby went to the No Doubt concert. It was so much fun, and such a good break... right in the middle of finals. Ha ha probably not very wise but it was definitely worth it!
We both came to the conclusion that Gwen Stefani has an amazing voice! She sounds awesome in concert and I think she is even better in concert than on the radio.
This was the opening scene of No Doubt, good thing it was a pretty cool set because it took them over a half hour to set it up!

This was one of the songs No Doubt sang :)
A band called The Sounds opened for them first, I have never heard of them but they were pretty good.
Next came Paramore, which was also very amazing! They are also easily just as good in concert as they are on the radio. I really enjoyed listening to them!
Here is a little clip of Paramore. They did a really good job on this song... and all of their other songs. They sang alot of new songs that will be coming out on their album at the end of the summer :)
I had tons of fun, and I really enjoyed spending quality girl time with Abby!
(We also came to the conclusion that the two places you will find the weirdest people in Utah are at concerts, and at Lagoon!)

catch up!

Its been a very long time! So I will try to fill you in on what we have been up to in the last few months.
Kate has discovered dress ups, and mommy's shoes!
We have taken her to feed the ducks alot and she is learning not to be afraid of them, she is usually more interested in eating the bread than feeding them.
She has learned everything there is to know about shopping-unfortunately. Every time we are at the store now she says "buy it!". This probably has more to do with me telling her she cant open her treats until we buy it.
A little while ago we took her and Anna to the zoo and she went crazy, her favorite animals were the giraffes.
She has become very good at posing for the camera and looking so so cute!
Anna came over one night before easter and we dyed easter eggs, Kate was determined to make a very big mess! (Oh and in case you didnt notice she has learned to take her hair out and it always looks like a crazy mohawk.)
A few weeks ago a bunch of my friends and their hubbys were able to get together for a bbq. It was so fun and I am so lucky to have such good friends!
Ok now dont be terribly suprised that I havent posted anything since easter! But remember that holiday about a month ago... well here are our easter pics! Kate looks pretty tired, its probably because I had to wake her up to hunt for her easter basket, ha ha.
We got together with my whole family and had a fun easter party and an easter egg hunt. Kate found one of her favorite pals Jaydon.
Over the last few weeks we have given our yard a serious make over, which is a very big deal if you knew what it looked like before. We planted a ton of flowers in three different flower beds, and made a huge garden! I am so excited, and Kate has become a very hard worker :)

I took Kate to Thanksgiving Points petting zoo and she found her favorite animal... "the moo" She absolutely loves cows it is so funny. She will see a picture of a cow and start saying "moo" for the next three hours! It is so cute!
Mothers day was really fun, we were able to get together with each of our families. Kate and Cybil got a very long wagon ride and they loved it!
She also got to spend time with grandma swinging around, she would laugh so hard when the swing turned around, it was very cute!
The best part of my week was on Monday when I got home from a very stressful day at school my sweet hubby had cleaned the whole house, cooked dinner, got me flowers, wrote a card and rented a movie I had wanted to see forever! I was so happy and it totally made up for my bad day at school. (now I just need to get through the next two weeks of finals and I will be good).
I think im all caught up now, and hopefully it doesnt take me another two months to post!
