LITTLE LAUGH

Kids do a lot of adorable things all of the time which is something that makes having kids so much fun but, unfortunately I don't get a lot of them on camera. I was however able to get this. Zoey was having a time trying to sport my winter boots....it was not easy but she was having fun trying. She even was able to wear one of them backwards. Now that takes talent my friends!

DPT or MD....that is the question?

Well, the only thing constant is change. I seem to figure that out more and more everyday. Jon was on track to graduate this year with his Athletic Therapy degree and was going to apply to DPT school (doctoral of physical therapy) to begin in Summer of 2010. Well, things have changed. After much thought, prayer, discussion and research Jon decided he would just go to medical school instead. School has not been an easy road for Jon, but he just continues to find himself more and more. He has so many talents and is so smart (which I give a lot of credit to his father who received his masters in petroleum engineering from Stanford on scholarship!). He plans on being a doctor and working in the Physical Therapy field, or at least in orthapedics or sports medicine. With having his medical degree it will give him a lot more flexibility with treating his patients and also will give him a lot more options. I love my husband so much and I am just thankful that he is not letting anything get in his way. He knows what he wants and is going to get it, even if it takes a few extra years (ha ha). Who knows how long we will be in school, but hey I am along with him every step of the way. Jon's undergraduate major will stay the same but with the additional classes he has to take in Chemistry and Genetics he will end up having a minor in chem when all is said and done. The plan for now is to graduate May 2010, take the MCAT end of May and apply for med school that next month to begin med school in the Fall of 2011. Wow...it is going to be a journey.

Crazy Grandparents

I have to say, it is so nice to have grandparents so close to us. The help us so much and Zoey loves them all. I do have to admit that my parent's are a little crazy sometimes but it makes fun memories. My mom is probably the craziest as you can see she climbed in Zoey's crib with her. I thought it was pretty hilarious. On the other picture you see my dad giving Zoey a horsey ride on his back. What I love about both of these pictures is that it reminds me of my childhood. I had a great childhood...thanks Mom and Dad.

POO-POO IN DA PODDIE

Hello Everyone: I know it has been a while but life is crazy as usual. I am doing the best I can. I will have a few posts on today's date, but really I am just catching everyone up on what we are up to....as you can see we are doing the potty training thing. About a month or so ago Zoey started talking about going potty and so when my mom (Granny Shanny) took her for an afternoon Zoey came back with a potty. I decided to give it a try even though she is not even two yet and she is doing a pretty good job. It definitly is hard on the parents always trying to remember t ask because if you don't stay on top of it, accidents do happen. I find that it is hard to potty train when I can't stay at home with Zoey all of the time. I hear consistency is one of the main keys, but all I can do is my best, right? The picture I am posting where Zoey is sitting on the potty on the floor, this was her first time actually popping in the potty just a few days after she got the potty chair. As you can see if you look closely there is poop on the arm handle....eeeeew! Nobody was kidding when they said pooping is a messy job! You do have to admit, she does look pretty cute on that "poddie".
