DRUM ROLL PLEASE .........

Well it has been quite the month with SO much going on. The most important being


MIKE GRADUATED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thursday May 8th, 2009


He is such a champ. He's been told over and over again that he needs to change his degree, that with working full time and having 4 kids and with everything else that he does he won't succeed and he needs to not go to Medical School and get his degree in something else. Well he is proving all those DEAD WRONG. He has always wanted to be a Doctor and we are doing WHATEVER it takes for him to acheive his dream. I am SO proud of him and he thinks nothing of it ( sillyMike ) he says "well I am done for summer" and "this is only a stepping stone " but what a stepping stone!!! CONGRADULATIONS!!!!!
On Memorial Day weekend we are moving. We are going to Saratoga Springs. We have some friends from CEU that just bought a house there and a few months ago told us that they are moving back here from North Dakota and were wondering if we wanted to live in their basement. See our friends husband ( who we also knew at CEU ) still works in ND on the oil rigs and is gone anywhere from 50 - 70 days at a time and she is all alone and hates that fact. So we are moving in at a great rate for rent. I know it may sound wierd but it is a great situation for us as well as them, it's a great way for us to serve our friends. It's a bit of a commute for Mike but there is a charter bus that goes down there directly to the Church Office Bld. because there are so many employee's that live down there.
Max's 1st year in school is comming to an end. He has really grown and gained SO much by going to preschool this year. His teacher Miss Teresa is a wonderful teacher and helped him grow and learn this year.
Rusty and Abbey are starting to sit up together. It's so cute to watch, they will sit there together lokking at each other, playing with each other until they tumble each other over.
This past month Rusty had to go to PCMC ( Primary Childrens ) and have a sedated MRI on his hips. The Dr. noticed at his last visit that he had asymetrical gluteal folds. For those of you that don't understand that, it means his little bum crack isn't perfectly straight. So they wanted to check for hip dysplasia. He was SUCH a CHAMP!!!!! When they put the Iv in he didn't even cry! He only wimpered a little and then he gave a huge grin to the nurse. The results came back and he is totally fine. WHAT A RELIEF !!!
Our next post will be all the pictures we've been needing to post. Graduation, my hair cut, and a few others oh and the new house!
So keep checking back, hopefully it will be soon !!!!!!!
