Hard Work and Dedication = Graduation!!

It has been a long nine months for me and the boys but we all survived including Scott! Scott graduated from the Police Academy Friday April 30, 2010. I am extremely proud of him! He has grown so much over the last nine months. He has matured more, became more patient than me, and has a whole different outlook on life. Some of you have even asked me how I'm going to do it being married to a police officer? Am I afraid he will die in the line of duty? Do I realize what we're getting ourselves into? The answer...I know this is and has been a passion of Scott's ever since we got married. He loves this line of work and has always had an interest in it. He thrives for an adrenaline rush. He wants to eventually do swat or the gang unit. Am I scared...not really. Why? Because I know he has been very well trained and I expect him to come home to me and the boys every night. If he doesn't I know he will have given his life doing what he always wanted and loved and I didn't hold him back from doing it. I am more "afraid" of the saying police officer's kids are like bishops kids...they are either really good or really bad. I just hope we have instilled and are still teaching ours well and leading them down the correct path in life. So one day they can make the "right" choices themselves. I think I have came to a "real" understanding of what we're getting ourselves into. I realize we may have to move, I know to have a plan every minute of every day, and I shouldn't be afraid. Police officer are trained by the best to "be the best"...and I know Scott will be just that!! Congrats babe I am more than proud of you!!


We had a graduation BBQ for Scott to celebrate his accomplishment on Saturday but of course my luck kicked in and it rained. So we moved the BBQ to the church and had a nice potluck lunch instead. I didn't take any pictures because I was to busy hosting. But we had such a awesome turnout. From parents and siblings, to cousins and friends it was so good to see everyone that came and supported Scott! Thanks to all of you that came our celebration wouldn't have been what it was without each of you there!!

Craziness and Fun at Work

Who knew you can have fun at work? We have an awards ceremony once a year and nominate other employees for certain categories. I won "most hospital spirit" for the 2nd year in a row!
We got asked to sing. We didn't want to be serious so we were the "Spice Girls featuring Old Spice" we sang Shania Twain's song "I feel like a woman." We had everyone laughing and some crying from laughing so hard. I'll admit it was hilarious!!
Then Neil Diamond and his brother Doug performed. Oh my heck I don't think I have ever laughed so hard. It was the funniest thing ever! Then Neil went and sat by his wife and had her pet his chest hair....so funny! We all had tears in our eyes from laughing!
I love the people I work with. They are so fun and make it fun to go to work each day. I couldn't image working with anyone else!!

Oh Yeah....Easter

Life has been busy...so here are some highlights of Easter!

It was lots of fun. The boys had a blast and will probably end up with several cavities from it. They are always so fun to watch. What more needs said!!?

Its Only Basketball...

Karter begged and begged me to sign him up for basketball. You would think he would love the sport much as his dad...NOPE!! During one game he come over to me while they are playing and yells "mom I hate basketball" trust me I laughed and was like what?
Then the last game he went to right after it was over he says "mom go tell my coach to take me off the team!"
It's all because he feels they are being bullies by pushing him around when blocking!!
Scott's worked with him when he has had time between work and school. Considering Karter is the very youngest on the team hopefully it will be better next year. He was still suppose to be on the smart start but he wanted to play Jr. Jazz and since he was 6 years old, Provo City let him.
Maybe that was a mistake!! hahaha

Karter's 6th Birthday Party

Happy 6th Birthday KARTER!!!

I have been told I have to be a party planner...why? Only because I definitely went a little overboard for Karter's 6th birthday party. We planned a carnival birthday party and that's exactly what it was. We had Soda Pop the clown come she painted faces, tied balloons, and did a magic show. We had popcorn, hot dogs, cotton candy and all the carnival booths you can imagine. I know! I totally went all out, but you have to understand my mom comes from a family that use to have carnivals when she was growing up all the time. So she put me to the test...and tested all my partying skills...and patience!! It turned out great and I believe all 30 kids (yep I said 30, what's a carnival without a ton of kids, right?) had the time of their lives!! I just hope all those kids and especially Karter don't expect something bigger and better next year cuz it ain't happening!!

I "think" my friends and family even had a blast!!

So if you ever need a party planner...give me a call! Lol

Valentines...What?

I know Valentines was over a month ago...but I have been the worst blogger lately ever!! Here are some goodies me and Bridget made. They turned out perfect!!
Me and Scott took the boys and headed up to Logan for a little mini vacation for Valentines and stayed a couple days. Karter's birthday is on the 16th so we kinda spent time with him since Scott had school on his actual birthday and wouldn't have seen him. We stayed here...
The boys slept together on the hideaway bed. Surprisingly Kandon did so good and didn't even fall off!! Karter is in there...somewhere!!!
The Logan temple...which I love!!
What we watched...
And that's about it other than we played in the pool a whole bunch and shopped. But that's all I have pic's of! Everyone was asking why we were going there...I love Logan. I seriously could live there!!
