Summer thoughts...

This last month has went by so fast! I don't hardly know where to start!

Clinicals are going well, I have only two weeks left, then I have a 3 week break! YEA!!!! I spent the last week in Radiation Therapy observing. I never really knew what that was all about... I mean I knew the whole idea of it but not how it worked. It was a great week...i loved every bit of it. But probably not enough to go on for another year and specialize in it! After this last two weeks of clinicals I only have two semesters left. I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel! This has been a LONG two or so years and I am ready to NOT be a student! LOL ! I have for the most part finished my online class that I had to take this summer and have been able to really relax and enjoy the last few weeks. I borrowed some books from my mom and started to read again....for pleasure not school! The kids and I have hit a few of the niece and nephews ball games in the last few weeks.... i was unable to make it to see them all play....but I have plenty more in the years to come!

We were able to enjoy the Jasper county fair again this year....pedal tractor pull, 4H animals, ITPA tractor pull and a deep fried candybar! My absolute favorite! LOL Kayla also finished up her swimming lessons that week and passed the 1st level!!!! I had so much fun relaxing by the new pool in Newton during the lessons, that I forgot to take any pictures of her... sorry! We had a family wedding back in June also... Congrats goes out to Phil and Becca! We had a great time just visiting and watching the kids play with their cousins that they don't get to see that often.

We are really exicted for my 3 week break.... My mom and dad will be married for 40 years in August, so my entire immediate family is taking a family vacation to Kentucky Lake August 5-8, in Eddyville. We have 2 townhouses and a party pontoon rented! We can't wait! Mom and Dad are just as excited at the rest of us......what a way to celebrate!

Scott has been working a lot of overtime this summer :) We like that paycheck! He has also been working of some projects on the side....enjoying his man place (shed). We did such a good job insulating the kitchen area that it is so nice and cool (with the help of a small airconditioner unit ) he is able to work in the cool kitchen instead of the heat!

I think I have covered almost everything for this last month.....I think I'll go play with the kids! I hope that you, my readers, are enjoying your summer! Thanks for reading:)

Update...

I've been a little lazy at posting lately. We have been trying to enjoy this hot summer weather. The kids have been sick off and on lately.... which caused some fun summer trips not to take place such as the Evansville zoo on Memorial day :( My first week of clinicals at Sarah Bush went really well.... I was really nervous, but by Thursday of that week I felt at "home". Kyle was sick several days during my first week...which was difficult on me, but Scott, Ashley and my mom pitched in and took care of him. This week has started off much better.

The kids and I have been trying to make it to some of my niece and nephews ballgames, swimming and bush hog riding to the sandbar. My biggest challange right now is keeping up with the growing grass... I've had enough of the rain!

I also have an online class this summer that I have been working on in the evenings. Thats about all I have for now.....i'll post again when I have some exciting stuff to post about.... maybe some pictures next time!

Tradition has started...

We planted Kayla's tree that she got from school tonight! She was beginning to worry that it wouldn't live much longer!

Summer pictures

I took some pictures of the kids this afternoon. I think they turned out pretty good....

Kayla and I went to meet Brendan yesterday for a little while! He is so cute!

Contratulations to Dave, Amy & Kaiden!!!!

Look what was sitting at our neighbors house.....

we were all pretty excited to see this... it's a tree trimmer!

The only not-so-exciting part about it ..... is that it woke us all up this morning :(

Another semester down

Thankfully, another semester is done! One year down and one year left to go! Thats all I have to say about that!

Olney Shriner's Award

Last Monday on the 12th, I was invited to an awards ceremony at OCC. I didn't really want to go but was advised to by OCC staff. I'm really glad I went. I was awarded the Olney Shriner's Radiography Award! I was presented with a certificate and a check (that was well worth my trip with the husband and both kids). I was pleasantly surprised and gracious. I really appreciate the person/persons that nominated me. Thank You!
