Just busy. I never thought Nursing school would be this much work - I mean I knew it was not going to be easy but I just never thought that there would be this much work. On Tuesday evening we get our patient for the next day and we have to know everything about them - the reason why they are there, their past medical history, why everything is the way it is.... so all in all about 6 hours of paperwork on Tuesday after class, then clinical at the hospital on Wed at 7 am .... ugh, that is early. I do enjoy working with the patients but then it is home to finish up the paperwork. I have Fridays off so I try to catch up on homework / reading/ and maybe clean the house... maybe. It seems to all be coming together though. I started off the semester with just giving baths and taking vitals and now I can give shots and medications ... woo! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The kids are doing well in school - I volunteer in their classroom every other Friday and it is great to see them in their element. The kids love going, they love their teacher, pretty much love everything about it. I really just love this age.... don't get me wrong - they are not perfect but I do appreciate the innocence and simplicity of being 6. Like this is one of their favorite parts of the morning</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">They are creating an echo as we wait for the bus to come to the end of our driveway. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They had Super Hero Day at school - Bella struck this pose on her own (it is hard to see but they are both wearing their capes - I made those capes when they were 2 or 3 so I can say we got our use out of them!)</span><br />

(We are so fortunate to have the kids picked up at the end of our driveway). This morning they kept asking me "take my picture" over and over again.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">They are silly, happy kids! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They are continuing to do well in school - nothing too exciting. Bella came home yesterday and told me she has a "new best friend" and she loves her! It was cute. She has been doing fine and socializing but she doesn't remember names well so she was excited to talk about her. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Last Friday night we went to the York Fair and the kids had a great time. A woman that Jason works with gets us free tickets and free ride tickets every year so the kids were excited to try them all out. Jack loved the elephants - Bella was not so sure at first but did go on it a second time.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">On the way home Jack fell asleep and started talking random stuff. He then said, "don't worry Grandmom will take care of it for me." I asked him which Grandmom and he said, "Grandmom Newman". He couldn't specify what she was going to take care of but I thought it was cute that he was dreaming of her and that she was taking care of him :) </span> Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14620107498779310982noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428073954610883845.post-41561320322161003612014-09-12T07:49:00.001-04:002014-09-12T07:49:14.725-04:00Just plugging along...<span style="font-size: large;">School is kicking my butt - so much work but it is going well. I am just trying to balance everything. I have had two "clients" so far. (We are suppose to use client instead of patient - it seems odd to me.) Both have been so nice and wonderful to work with so I am lucky. Since we can not actually do too much we are also answering call bells and I have been able to interact with several other clients - all in all it is interesting and I feel like I am learning a ton - although I can not seem to get enough sleep - coffee is my friend :) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The kids are still loving school and get points each day for listening and doing their work. The kids have earned all of their points since they started. I am so proud of how respectful they are. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Here are a couple pictures from this week. Jack loves to be "Jack the Magician" and was trying some new tricks earlier this week."</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Jason and Jack went to a Penn State game last weekend so Bella and I were on our own. I told her I was going to go on the treadmill and she said she wanted to go with me. So the second picture is of us that day on Saturday and then on Sunday when Jack was home the three of us went for a jog / walk. I had my phone out so we could listen to music so I just snapped this picture. They look SO old here!! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> Bella starts back with ballet on Saturday and Jack will *hopefully* start basketball soon. Sign ups are next week and we won't know until then the schedule. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So nothing new and exciting but I like this - we are all happy - so I can not ask for anything more :)</span>Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14620107498779310982noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428073954610883845.post-84319164074228567202014-09-05T07:32:00.003-04:002014-09-05T07:32:27.550-04:00Thank You!<span style="font-size: large;">The kids will be writing thank you for the gifts soon - but thank you for the cards and gifts. We went shopping last week at Kmart and carefully spent over an hour picking and repicking and repicking out toys so we could make sure that they each had two but did not spend any more money. Jack ended up getting a really nice Nerf Bow and Arrow and a Rabbid character (it is from a cartoon). Bella got a Care Bear and a baby carrier for one of her dollies. They were thrilled to be able to pay for it and were so excited and told I think everyone in the store that they were turning 6.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They got the gifts from Grandmom yesterday and, oh my, did they love them! </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">They were exited to come home to a big box. They liked the gifts but when they saw that they sang and danced, they were hooked. This is Bella yelling, "OH MY GOODNESS!"</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">A dance party ensued. You will see Bella ran to get her scissors so she could get the duck out of the package quicker than I could. Bella had therapy last night and she brought it with her so she could show her therapists (and the receptionist, and the waiting parents.... well just about anyone)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I need to run to get them going - it is a dreary day here and we all seem to be dragging this morning. </span>Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14620107498779310982noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428073954610883845.post-41714948415813525402014-08-30T08:15:00.002-04:002014-08-30T08:15:44.678-04:00Birthday time!<span style="font-size: large;">I did try to post twice this week but my computer kept freezing so lets hope that third time is a charm? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The kids had another excellent week of school. Jack got to walk like a monster in gym and Bella liked her teacher - so all remains right in their world.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They have started to get birthday cards in the mail and that is even better than normal "Grandmom Mail". They do not get too much mail but 99% of it comes from Grandmom so they know her writing and they appreciate all the details - from the little drawings to the stamps that are used. Grandmom's birthday cards came first and Bella took it literally. Grandmom wrote for to watch for the mailman to bring her something so she went to watch for him. I explained to her that it would be awhile so she laughed. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We also got the cards from Aunt Pat and Aunt Jil and Uncle Don. The kids are SO excited to go shopping. I told them we were going to use one of the gift cards for anything they wanted and one for something they "needed". Well they are beyond excited to go shopping for something they want because in their mind it is something they NEED!! (they will be
sending thank you notes out soon! - I need to go get stamps)<br />Bella
still continues with Occupational and Speech Therapy and is doing really
well with it. She just got switched to evenings because she had always
went during the day. She is SUPER GIRL :) She goes to school all day
and then home for dinner and then we leave for therapy and she works
hard and we come home read some books and go to bed. A busy day and she
never once complained. Jason has been doing some side work and went to
go do a couple of things while Bella had therapy so Jack went with him
to "help". </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Here he is showing me some of the tools from his tool box</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> Notice his fancy tool box - thankfully he is getting a real one for his birthday. Jason is working for a friend and they have drinks in their fridge so Jack got a gatorade after working so hard and that was all the payment he needs! I can not wait to see his face when he gets his tool box - he wants so badly to help out his Daddy.<br />Speaking of Jason.... I really did luck out. I no longer am watching Isabella (she went off to a different kindergarten) and I was trying to find another job. With Jason's support I decided to not work while I am in school so I can focus on my schoolwork. Jason has some side work he has been doing to help out*. I never expected the course work to be THIS much. It is really a lot of work that I have to put in each week (and rightfully so because this is an amazing school I am at. I don't know if I mentioned it or not but this school accepts less than 30% of it's applicants - there are no slackers. Plus no one wants a nurse who doesn't know their stuff). It is weird to not work - to not have an income but it will be worth it. One of my biggest fears of going to school full time was not being able to see the kids ... my amazing husband is sacrificing his time with the kids so I can have more (and more study time). I am so blessed. <br />*we are fine with just Jason's salary - we will just not be going on any fancy vacations anytime soon. We joke that we will not know what to do with ourselves once I do actually go back to work full time - we can live on just Jason's so to add another full time we will not know what to do with ourselves.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I better run - the kids are already asking me when we can go shopping :) <br />I love days like these!<br /><br />P.S. Grandmom - I did get your message about the Penn State Game today in Ireland. Jason is working today but he will be able to listen to it on the radio. Jason is also surprising Jack with tickets to next week's game - it will be here in PA so no fancy trips to Ireland :)</span> Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14620107498779310982noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428073954610883845.post-80373620078674022522014-08-22T07:49:00.002-04:002014-08-22T07:49:15.595-04:00-Friday-<span style="font-size: large;">I don't think I have been this happy for a Friday in a very very long time. I have classes Mon-Thursday and there was just SO much information to learn. When I was in high school and at York College - I never had to study like this. It will be worth it in the end but I feel like my brain might explode in the mean time. We just learned the basics this week - how to take a temp, pulse, blood pressure, etc. It is harder to take a blood pressure than I thought. This is one of those times I miss living in NJ because if I were closer I would go visit my Grandmother and make her "patient". I know I could take her blood pressure and pulse 100 times and she would just keep on being patient with me. :) <br />While I am trying to update the blog more often I may not get to do it as often as I wish... we will see!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The kids are doing amazing in school and can not wait to go everyday. I had an almost panic attack yesterday while I was driving to school because I did not have them with me - it was such a weird feeling to not have them by my side when I have been at home with them for so long. I am so so fortunate. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I took a picture of each kid yesterday and asked them a couple of questions.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">My kids are so darn lucky. While Jason was waiting for the kids to come home off the bus on Wednesday he built them a bench to sit on while they waited for the bus in the morning.</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">We are lucky that the bus picks up at the end of our driveway. I was in school all day yesterday so Jason put them on the bus and followed them to school. A couple of years ago I laughed at my sister in law when she followed the bus on the first day of my nephew but I was very relieved when Jason was going to do it - apparently most parents do it the first day. Anyway as Bella got off the bus she yelled to Jason, "DADDY! I made a friend". At that is Bella nowadays - she will just go up to people and ask to be friends and then goes and plays - she is SO outgoing. I would have never thought that. Jack is a bit more shy but his best buddy from his t-ball team is in his class and he was talking to other boys while we were at back to school night. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Yesterday gym was their "special" period and today it is art so you have my two kindergartners summed up right there - all is right in their world if Jack has gym and Bella has art.... also bacon.... add bacon into anything like Jason did for their breakfast yesterday and we just knew they would have a perfect day :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I will write more about my school tomorrow but I better run for now to finish getting them ready!</span>Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14620107498779310982noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428073954610883845.post-19730595730537726812014-08-19T08:22:00.001-04:002014-08-19T08:22:30.600-04:005 months until my Birthday...<span style="font-size: large;">Random thought popped into my head the other day. I have often had off of school for my birthday (Martin Luther King Day) and the kids will often have off on their birthday (Labor Day). Something little and cool we share. The kids turn 6 in just under 2 weeks. Their birthday was the cut off date for starting school so they will be some of the older kids in their grade. We had back to school night last night and we got to meet their teacher. She actually grew up two houses down from here and knew of the kids. Her uncle still lives on the other side of my in-laws (where she grew up) so I guess she was Jason's neighbor at some point in time. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I will be in clinicals tomorrow so I tried to get a picture of the kids last night and this was the best that I could get. Can you sense their excitement? No - me neither - they were excited, just tired. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">What else is new?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The kids have started swim lessons. We waited until they were not so afraid of the water and they were loving the pool this year. So lessons started and it is too darn cold to get in our pool - hopefully they will remember some of this next year</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Bella was sick earlier this Summer - fever, lethargy, not eating - basically just not herself. We never really found out what was wrong with her but they treated her for Lymes Disease because it is possible to get a false negative. She just finished her second round of antibiotics and was SO happy that we danced as she threw the bottle of meds in the garbage. So far so good and she is pretty much back to herself. Point of this is that when she was first sick she had a really high fever and just felt crappy and Jack tried cheering her up by performing magic.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">He got a magic kit at his birthday party and he was originally "Jack the Magnificent" but changed his name to "Jack the Magician" because he could not say magnificent. They are getting to the age where they have their own friends and they told their bus driver that they do not want to sit next to each other on the bus but I don't doubt for a second that they love each other and have each others back. They really are amazing kids!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">One last picture of teamwork!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">They were playing a video game and they could not reach the pedal. They took turns steering and pressing the gas (they never actually used the brake so there was a lot of crashing). Isabella was there with them and when she was steering Bella sat behind her just to "support" her while Jack did the gas. That really was awesome teamwork.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I am going to try to update more often. I figure if I do a tid bit here and there it won't take long.

I start school today. I have a nursing theory course on Mon and Thursday, Math on Tues and I start clinicals on Wed. In two weeks I will have actual patients - real live people that I will have to interact with .... I am a bit excited and nervous all at the same time. The kids start school on Wednesday and I am super bummed that it my clinical day because I will leave the house at 6 - long before the kids even get up. Luckily Jason will be home to put them on the bus. The kids are so excited for school to start and we get to go meet their teachers tonight. They will be in the same class. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Bella lost her third tooth last night (all on the bottom). It was quite loose for awhile so Jason said he would get pliers and help her and she was excited. Jack on the other hand freaked out that we were going to hurt Bella and he went and hid his head.... Great brother there ;) (Please don't mind the mess). Jason did not get it out and after a long night Jason's mom tied dental floss to it and she pulled it out. The tooth fairy almost forgot to come but thankfully she remembered and Bella was super excited to wake up to her $1.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This was the last week that I watched Isabella. I have watched her for almost 4 years so it was sad to realize it was her last day. We had a really fun week though and I know we will see her again. She is going to a different kindergarten than Jack and Bella.</span><br />

They were not thrilled when I told them they had to wait until the 20th. It was a wake-up call for me though to realize how quickly time is flying. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I have one class over the summer and am taking the final on Wednesday. YAYYY! I will be happy to be done with it. I then have a week off and classes start full time for me on the 18th. This semester is exciting and nerve-wracking because I will actually be working with patients. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The summer has been a lot of fun. We had the kids' birthday parties early this year. Jack wanted to have it at the local minor league baseball team. It was amazing. He threw out the first (well actually it was like the 6th pitch- there were a couple others who threw one out too)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> Isn't she beautiful?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I have been blessed with the most wonderful Grandmothers. When Bella was born I could not decide on who to name her after (middle name - we had already decided on Isabella for the first) so I made one up. Her middle name is Elice ~ a combo of both of my Grandmothers' middle names Ruth <u>El</u>len and Miriam Al<u>ice</u> ~ pronounced "Ellis". If we had two boys the second boy would have had the middle name Allen - again a combo of their middle names <u>Al</u>ice and El<u>len. </u>I was covered either way :)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I think they were tired out!</span>Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14620107498779310982noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428073954610883845.post-33205439621982644802014-05-13T19:17:00.000-04:002014-05-13T19:17:46.266-04:00Why I could not answer your call...<span style="font-size: large;">Yesterday was a day I have been dreading, I think just as much as Jack. He had a cavity and needed to go get a filling. He does well going to the dentist overall but he was SCARED at the thought of a cavity. He has been crying off and on and telling me how scared he was, etc. I don't typically bribe the kids but I told him that if he was brave that he could have "Jack Day" where he chose what we got to do. That helped..... a little. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway so the appointment was yesterday and he did FABULOUS! They used nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and he was happy as a clam. They came to get me when he was done and he was sitting in his chair smiling. The dentist and the assistant were fawning over him and he was just eating it up. He got THREE PRIZES! And "not everyone can get THREE PRIZES!!" He was very excited over his prizes. He has a small cavity on the other side and they did not want to numb up both sides so he goes back next month. He is excited and told me "cavities are fun!".</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">He got vampire teeth, a sticky hand, and a sticker.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> We then went to the movies and out to dinner - he chose both. When we got home it was raining and the kids have been asking to play in the rain so I asked them if they wanted to. They ran in the house and stripped down to their undies so fast! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I told them to go down the slide in the backyard and they loved that because they went super fast. I stayed in the house and watched them because I am not 5 and do not like to getting soaking wet. They went over to the one dirt patch we have in our yard and decided it would be fun to paint themselves with mud. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I was exhausted at the end of Jack Day (Jason was working and then went golfing so I was on my own for scrubbing them down!) The kids had a ball though and laughed so happy giggles! Point of the title is that Grandmom called me right when they were rolling in the mud so I was unable to answer your call!</span></div>

P.S. I have some pictures of Grandmom and her dedication that I need to go through but I will post them soon!</div>

We talked about it and if we got rid of the trampoline in his room he would be able to have one. Going through my mind was hanging some sheets from the wall and having a tee-pee sort of thing - but then I remembered that I married Jason. He thought ACTUAL treehouse. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It started with this</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo F44308E2-7D23-4078-8480-7E58BA225BB7.jpg" border="0" src="http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af20/jasonlovessara/F44308E2-7D23-4078-8480-7E58BA225BB7.jpg" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">and by the end of the day it was this</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 559D352C-9ED1-4AD2-8815-B5A66D046BB2.jpg" border="0" src="http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af20/jasonlovessara/559D352C-9ED1-4AD2-8815-B5A66D046BB2.jpg" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This was all stuff Jason had on hand. The log on the outside is the actual log he used for the outside of our house. We had to wait until Thursday to finish it - I have classes on Monday and Wednesday nights and Jason works - so it was quite hard for Jack to be patient for it to be finished - but it was well worth it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_44591.jpg" border="0" src="http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af20/jasonlovessara/IMG_44591.jpg" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_44621.jpg" border="0" src="http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af20/jasonlovessara/IMG_44621.jpg" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A friend helped with the saying for the sign I made... I love it</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"Jack be quick, Jack be brave</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">All beware of Jack's man cave"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_44601.jpg" border="0" src="http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af20/jasonlovessara/IMG_44601.jpg" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We did have to buy carpet so this kid even got to pick out the carpet! We did have to buy the lanterns on the outside but they are great because they come off and the kids can use them for extra lighting. He does have a light in there but the kids also like it to be dark to tell "spooky stories". </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Not the best picture but you can kinda make out Jack's excited face when he saw it finished for the first time. He was THRILLED</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo CB91A1D7-8F35-4DCF-B9C8-D3D0171213DB.jpg" border="0" src="http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af20/jasonlovessara/CB91A1D7-8F35-4DCF-B9C8-D3D0171213DB.jpg" /></a></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo C829F50A-110E-4125-BEEB-B0D72C438BD0.jpg" border="0" src="http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af20/jasonlovessara/C829F50A-110E-4125-BEEB-B0D72C438BD0.jpg" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We did something in Bella's room as well</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">First we gave her a hammock for her stuffed animals - because while "you can never have enough stuffed animals" it is hard finding room for all of them. Bella screamed as much as Jack did - that girl loves her animals</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 7B2288E2-B1E9-4F4C-A325-3959EA7F129F_1.jpg" border="0" src="http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af20/jasonlovessara/7B2288E2-B1E9-4F4C-A325-3959EA7F129F_1.jpg" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">but we also made a little reading nook for her. She loves to read, loves to swing, and loves to spend time by herself so this was the best of all worlds for her</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We took her shopping and she was able to pick out a new pillow for it (the unicorn inside the swing) and a couple new books</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 0AAA197B-7F9F-46DD-BF7F-7326DE3C82B5.jpg" border="0" src="http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af20/jasonlovessara/0AAA197B-7F9F-46DD-BF7F-7326DE3C82B5.jpg" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">She loved it too</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 5F0AE078-431E-4B95-BCF4-06269FF1769C.jpg" border="0" src="http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af20/jasonlovessara/5F0AE078-431E-4B95-BCF4-06269FF1769C.jpg" /></a></span><br />

Jason and his friend Jeremy, surprised myself and Jeremy's wife with a 3 day cruise to the Bahamas. We were all celebrating 10 years (Jason and I have been dating 10 years and Jeremy and Jenn have been married 10 years) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We decided to go down a little early so we could go to Disney for a day. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It rained.... a lot, hence the slicked back look of my hair</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo B06BE804-54DC-4A6B-A496-158FA1559C39.jpg" border="0" src="http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af20/jasonlovessara/B06BE804-54DC-4A6B-A496-158FA1559C39.jpg" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The elephants didn't mind the rain</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 178CCB7D-88F7-49FE-BAF5-C2695C7F6B95.jpg" border="0" src="http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af20/jasonlovessara/178CCB7D-88F7-49FE-BAF5-C2695C7F6B95.jpg" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We still managed to make it to all of the parks and walked about 14 miles that day</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo AE9D84E1-58CD-47D8-8A10-888BBD44E9C0.jpg" border="0" src="http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af20/jasonlovessara/AE9D84E1-58CD-47D8-8A10-888BBD44E9C0.jpg" /></a></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We never told the kids we were there because I don't think they would forgive us!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We left the next day to go to the Bahamas. It was overall a nice trip but Jason got the stomach bug and was out of commission for the first day and a half. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">On our way to the first meal Jason ate... he still looks a little green</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 7A8D129D-E690-4656-B402-A38BB6701F46.jpg" border="0" src="http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af20/jasonlovessara/7A8D129D-E690-4656-B402-A38BB6701F46.jpg" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Thankfully he felt almost normal for our last stop at the beach</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">the final night</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 40967978-5C4D-4608-A2C1-2F6885176989.jpg" border="0" src="http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af20/jasonlovessara/40967978-5C4D-4608-A2C1-2F6885176989.jpg" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />All in all we did have a good time but it was a bit rough. We were happy to be home and we did miss the kids.</span>Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14620107498779310982noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428073954610883845.post-19394967680482529222014-04-07T12:24:00.001-04:002014-04-07T12:25:42.225-04:00Toothless!<span style="font-size: large;">Bella has never really liked nicknames. If you call her "Princess Bella" she will often correct you, "My name is Bella!". (Well Bella is a nickname but if you call her Isabella she will not answer you.) That was all until she lost a tooth! I never even knew it was loose. I came upstairs from the treadmill one morning and Bella was eating Special K. I thought she had a piece of the cereal on her tooth but it was just gone. She must have swallowed it at some point. </span><br />
<a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 3D5487CA-43EB-4488-92CD-50058A7D70E2.jpg" border="0" src="http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af20/jasonlovessara/3D5487CA-43EB-4488-92CD-50058A7D70E2.jpg" /></a><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">She drew the Tooth Fairy a picture of her with an arrow pointing to the tooth in her belly and we put that in her tooth pillow</span><br />
<a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 8A0FC571-F31C-4ED4-B2BB-F8B0A3F6EC38.jpg" border="0" src="http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af20/jasonlovessara/8A0FC571-F31C-4ED4-B2BB-F8B0A3F6EC38.jpg" /></a><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The Tooth Fairy did indeed come over night so she was very excited. Her other bottom tooth was loose so I just kept my eye on it. Poor Jack was convinced his tooth was loose and that it was going to come out soon. Bella lost her tooth about a month ago and Jack's are not even wiggly.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Two weeks ago we were out to lunch and I took Bella to the bathroom and sometime at lunch she swallowed that tooth too!</span><br />
<a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 5A4A0191-DFAD-4145-A656-02C91550A922.jpg" border="0" src="http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af20/jasonlovessara/5A4A0191-DFAD-4145-A656-02C91550A922.jpg" /></a><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So another note to the Tooth Fairy and all was right with the world. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Although a bit blurry this was another good picture of her toothless grin</span><br />

I plan on doing a couple posts in the next couple of days to get a little caught up. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Here are some of the highlights:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This past Spring Jason built a fire pit that we enjoyed through out the summer</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://s989.photobucket.com/user/jasonlovessara/media/Facebook/Mobile%20Uploads/947074_10200409897703242_1348130368_n.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt="Fire pit is done.

<span style="font-size: large;">Yay for mountain pies and hot dogs!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://s989.photobucket.com/user/jasonlovessara/media/Facebook/Mobile%20Uploads/946906_10200449927903972_2106967891_n.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt="Breaking in the fire pit.  First mountain pie of the season :) photo 946906_10200449927903972_2106967891_n.jpg" border="0" src="http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af20/jasonlovessara/Facebook/Mobile%20Uploads/946906_10200449927903972_2106967891_n.jpg" /></a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Bella had bangs for a little while there</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://s989.photobucket.com/user/jasonlovessara/media/Facebook/Mobile%20Uploads/945556_10200564028516416_309672112_n.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt="Good times! photo 945556_10200564028516416_309672112_n.jpg" border="0" src="http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af20/jasonlovessara/Facebook/Mobile%20Uploads/945556_10200564028516416_309672112_n.jpg" /></a></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Jack hit Molson by accident one day so he was sorry and wanted to take his time to say he was sorry. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://s989.photobucket.com/user/jasonlovessara/media/Facebook/Mobile%20Uploads/1044644_10200742638421552_1311780555_n.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt="Jack hit Molson with his car by accident so he is sitting here singing to him. photo 1044644_10200742638421552_1311780555_n.jpg" border="0" src="http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af20/jasonlovessara/Facebook/Mobile%20Uploads/1044644_10200742638421552_1311780555_n.jpg" /></a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We did a lot of camping:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://s989.photobucket.com/user/jasonlovessara/media/Facebook/Mobile%20Uploads/1380746_10201420106877840_1121730336_n.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 1380746_10201420106877840_1121730336_n.jpg" border="0" src="http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af20/jasonlovessara/Facebook/Mobile%20Uploads/1380746_10201420106877840_1121730336_n.jpg" /></a> </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Jack ate a cheeseburger --- why is this in the highlight's of this past year? Jack never ever would have tried it in the past - one day he decided he liked them and then ate it. Huh? Wish it was always that easy</span><br />

I tried for 2 hours and am done trying to rotate them so it is what it is ....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">About a month ago we took the kids out to Rita's for some Italian Ice</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://tinypic.com/?ref=fb0k7" target="_blank"><img alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" src="http://i40.tinypic.com/fb0k7.jpg" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They loved it. Unfortunately we came home and we were all running around and Bella fell.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://tinypic.com/?ref=4l4wsi" target="_blank"><img alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" src="http://i42.tinypic.com/4l4wsi.jpg" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The poor thing injured the growth plate in her heel. The good news was that there would be no long term repercussions the bad news was that it is extremely painful. Didn't stop her from being a princess though<a href="http://tinypic.com/?ref=2wltr9y" target="_blank"><img alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" src="http://i41.tinypic.com/2wltr9y.jpg" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">She only had to have it on for 10 days. Here she is in the waiting room - she just loved the huge fish tank</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://tinypic.com/?ref=e850ds" target="_blank"><img alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" src="http://i40.tinypic.com/e850ds.jpg" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> She cried when they took the cast off.... not because she was scared but because it was "so pretty". This girl just loves pink.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It took about another week or so for her to be able to put full weight on it and now she is doing really really well.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> The weekend after she got it off I had signed up for a 5k that benefited the Special Olympics. I had to carry Bella around the majority of the time she had her cast on and I pinched a nerve in my back. I couldn't run so the family came with me and we did the mile walk. The kids were really excited and wanted to do the kids run</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://tinypic.com/?ref=cuc87" target="_blank"><img alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" src="http://i39.tinypic.com/cuc87.jpg" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It was awesome. Jason ran with them because we knew Bella would not be able to do the whole thing. She did not get that far into in when she yelled for help. Jack ran back and said, "Come on Bella, we can do this together". He grabbed her hand and tried to help her. My heart about exploded - I was so proud!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Jason ended up carrying her on his shoulders so they could finish</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://tinypic.com/?ref=33wpizo" target="_blank"><img alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" src="http://i44.tinypic.com/33wpizo.jpg" /></a></span><br />

Bella saved and saved and finally got her "Rainbow Bear". She was so so excited and loved it</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://tinypic.com/?ref=adexix" target="_blank"><img alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" src="http://i49.tinypic.com/adexix.jpg" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It came with a free video and Jack and her fell in love with Care Bears. I was down stairs one day and I remembered that I had the Care Bears that Grandmom made me when I was young. They were a little dusty and Tenderheart's heart was a very worn. So I threw them in the wash and sewed a new heart on and they were good as new. The kids were so excited. There was no fight - they each knew who got who - </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://tinypic.com/?ref=34i0ca9" target="_blank"><img alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" src="http://i47.tinypic.com/34i0ca9.jpg" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Later on that day Bella and I went to Sam's Club and she was able to bring one toy with her. Look at who she chose</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://tinypic.com/?ref=221gdz" target="_blank"><img alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" src="http://i50.tinypic.com/221gdz.jpg" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">oh and on a side note - Bella did my nails for the first time. She insisted that they match hers. This is how I went to Sam's Club.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://tinypic.com/?ref=2hrcxe8" target="_blank"><img alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" src="http://i50.tinypic.com/2hrcxe8.jpg" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I didn't change it because she was just so darn proud of herself :)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I am hoping to have some more free time shortly. I have 4 weeks left of class and if I get an A on my test this Thursday I don't have to take the final (Right now I have the highest grade in the class)</span>Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14620107498779310982noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428073954610883845.post-67373170524750172992013-03-07T09:10:00.001-05:002013-03-07T09:11:21.439-05:00"Do you know who my best friend is...."<span style="font-size: large;">Jack came up to me this morning and said, <span style="font-size: large;">"Do you know who my best friend is?".

<span style="font-size: large;">The kids were earning stickers for various things around the house and they reached their goals they wanted to go to a hockey game so we went to an AHL (the step below the NHL) game and saw the Hershey Bears play.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://tinypic.com/?ref=avlyci" target="_blank"><img alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" src="http://i49.tinypic.com/avlyci.jpg" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">While going to get a snack we ran into a Hershey Kiss... I don't think the kids knew what to make of it</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://tinypic.com/?ref=358w9kp" target="_blank"><img alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" src="http://i49.tinypic.com/358w9kp.jpg" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They did really well. I was kinda surprised. They got a bit annoyed in the third period when the Bears scored 3 goals in a short amount of time because it got REALLY loud. Overall it was a really fun day.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">*****</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Grandmom sent stickers up in the last card and Bella wanted to make a hat and decorate them. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://tinypic.com/?ref=2qxsvab" target="_blank"><img alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" src="http://i50.tinypic.com/2qxsvab.jpg" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">******</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We spent the night painting new light switch covers for their room the other night and the kids got really into it. I was surprised at how well Bella did with it (please don't mind her hair - she played hard that day and she looked like a ragamuffin). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://tinypic.com/?ref=2czu52b" target="_blank"><img alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" src="http://i47.tinypic.com/2czu52b.jpg" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Bella's is a princess castle</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://tinypic.com/?ref=2iuf75w" target="_blank"><img alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" src="http://i50.tinypic.com/2iuf75w.jpg" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">and Jack's is a guitar.... he does not have the patience Bella does and he just kind of throws the paint on. He has fun so as long as he is enjoying himself</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://tinypic.com/?ref=ieqyar" target="_blank"><img alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" src="http://i46.tinypic.com/ieqyar.jpg" /></a></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Gotta run!</span>Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14620107498779310982noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428073954610883845.post-54508326959193235872013-02-24T10:09:00.001-05:002013-02-24T10:09:20.635-05:00The wonders of twins....<span style="font-size: large;">On Tuesdays Bella has physical therapy (basically to help her with running - she has difficulty running and keeping up with other children). Jack usually comes with us but it is a pain trying to keep him entertained while we sit and watch Bella. Anyway, Jason ended up coming home from work last Tuesday and Jack was going to run to Home Depot with Jason instead of going to therapy with Bella. We were leaving at the same time and Bella started crying how she would miss "her Jack" and how he is her "best friend". Jason had to get the car seat out of my car so Jack kept climbing in my car to give Bella hugs and kisses.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://tinypic.com/?ref=347cnfa" target="_blank"><img alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" src="http://i47.tinypic.com/347cnfa.jpg" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">He was reassuring her, telling her he loved her and "you can tell me all about therapy when you get home". She continued to cry so he climbed back in the car and kissed her on her forehead.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://tinypic.com/?ref=16hsrk2" target="_blank"><img alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" src="http://i50.tinypic.com/16hsrk2.jpg" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It really broke my heart to see how sad they were and also so proud to see how much they loved each other and how Jack really looked out for Bella.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We started to pull out of the garage and Jack and Jason were standing there waiting for us and I could see that Jack started to cry. While he really wanted to go with Jason it really upsets him with Bella is that upset. So I asked him if he wanted to go with me and all he could do was nod. We put his car seat back in my car and we were on our way. While I was backing out I saw they were reaching across and holding hands. I stopped and had to take another picture</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://tinypic.com/?ref=23suout" target="_blank"><img alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" src="http://i46.tinypic.com/23suout.jpg" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We made it to therapy and they both did awesome. So I told them that we could stop for a treat on the way home. We pulled into Friendly's and I don't think the kids knew what to do with themselves. There were so many toppings to choose from that they had a really, really, REALLY hard time making up their minds. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://tinypic.com/?ref=21kf04j" target="_blank"><img alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" src="http://i48.tinypic.com/21kf04j.jpg" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And of course, Bella had no problem sharing hers with Jack</span><br />
