I Have to Write them Down

Our kids say such funny things and I always laugh but I decided I need to write some of them down.

This morning Ed was on the computer and Kendi wanted to play games on it so he tells Kendi to go up and get Davin a nutrigrain bar and by the time she gets back, he'll be done with the computer and she can have it. Kendi turns around and says; "OK dad, but I really don't like to be a servant." WHAT?!!!

EVERY time I go to the bathroom, Davin has to get all up in my business and he ALWAYS says "mom you got diarrhea?" My reply is always "no Dav, I'm just going potty." Then he says, "oh potty, good boy mom."

ME: "Davin come here." DAVIN: "ok, hold on a minute. Gosh!"

When we were camping at our family reunion last month, we were sitting at the picnic table and Kendi starts telling someone "Sometimes when I watch NOGGIN, cuz it's like preschool on TV....." Yes, I get the mother of the year award, because it's obvious that i NEVER let my kids watch TV!

When we were driving to our family reunion, we got onto the mountain and there were a bunch of cows walking in the middle of the dirt road. My brother's girlfriend was excited about this and started taking pictures but Kendi said, "Mom, what the heck are cows doing in the road?" I say, "The cows live here and they don't know it's a road." Kendi says," COWS! Get out of the freaking drive-way!" Mother of the year award again, I know....

When I ask Davin "Do you love me?" He says "yes mom." Then I ask, "how much do you love me?" His response is "Me, Davin!"

Kendi always tells me "Mom you're the best mom a girl could ever have."

Davin will mumble something I don't understand and mumbles it over and over and I still don't understand so finally out of frustration, I say "OK Davin!" Then he says, "oh, thanks mom. You're the best." Then I think, "Oh crap, what did I just consent to?"

I LOVE THEM!!!!

Random Pictures from My Graduation Party

Party Time!!

So I have the BEST husband in the whole world! He is so thoughtful and sweet. Here is the story. Apparently before I was even done with my third semester, Ed started planning a surprise party for my graduation. One day, I was walking out of my house with my mom because she was going to take my kids home with her so I could study. The flag on our mail box was up and Davin wanted to "get the mail" so I let him. There was an evelope in the box and Davin handed it to me and I looked at it. It was addressed from Ed to a bakery. So I call my sister, who informed me that she knew nothing of it except that she was picking out the flavors. Anyway, moral of the story is Ed planned the best graduation party for me. This is the cool cake he designed for me.

Ed hired our friend Brandon who owns his own catering business to come and cook for us. It was super yummy food and it was so awesome to be able to just hang out and not worry about anyone cooking or cleaning.

This is my mom, my sister and me.

This is me with my awesome brothers, my sister and my parents. I Love them!

One more picture to make me realize how incredibly blessed I am. These are my girls. They consist of my sister-in-laws, and friends I have had for such a long time. Some of these girls, I have been frinds with since I was 9! That is 20 years!

How awesome is that? Want some?

Once I figure it out, I'll put the rest of the random picutres in a slide show.

Oh, by the way, these pictures were taken on my other graduation gift from Ed, a brand new super nice Canon camera! I love it, I just have to learn how to use it.

I just want to thank everyone who came to my party. It meant so much to me to have my favorite people come to my house just for me. I'm thankful for all my friends and my family for ALWAYS supporting me. I am a very blessed girl.

It's official. I am a college graduate!! Can I get a whoop whoop?!!! I know, the fact that our school still makes us wear these dresses and caps is pretty lame. They say its tradition. I say, change the tradition. I think for as bad as it is, it's actually pretty cute. I've already had many requests from people to borrow my "naughty nurse" outfit. I may think about renting it out... he he. I just have to have it back in December when we actually have our pinning ceremony. Now I am on the job search. I think I'm going to look into working at the Maricopa burn center. They actually let us go shadow there for a day and see if it's something you might be interested in so I'm going to do that and if I like it, I'll apply. So, I'm going to post a few more pitures of school then my blog will turn back into a family blog and not just a random Kenra being psycho in school blog.
This is our whole summer group. There were 20 of us and 19 of us graduated. Pretty impressive because this summer thing was nearly impossible.

This is during our peds rotation. This poor kid needed a new IV started and four different nurses tried and could NOT get it. They were geting ready to call someone from Phoenix Childrens Hospital to come and try but my instructor heard that my friend Dustin was really good at getting difficult sticks so they decided to let him try and..... he got it on his first try. Pretty impressive This is me after I "helped" Dustin start the IV (I handed him supplies. Very important job)

This is also during our peds rotation. This baby had a heart condition and was also abused. He NEVER smiled. So I was trying to work on that. I did get a smile from him.

This is a group of the girls in class. I think we're all looking a little brain dead. I think I may have forgotten to wear makeup this day.
Last day of clinicals. This is Dustin and Jill fooling around waiting to have their final evaluation done. NERDS!!

I'm sure if Desiree and Courtney read my blog, they'll be mad at me but this is such a perfect picture to illistrate what the semester did to us. Check our Courtney's enormous yawn! It's awesome! Courtney, by the way is the only one in our class who didn't have to take the final because she is miss smartie pants. Whatever to miss smartie pants :). I got a C in class and it is the best C I have ever earned. It meant more to me than any A I've ever earned.

The moral of the story is, I'm done. No more journals, no more evaluations. I'm done. Until I start my bachelors program. But it won't be anything compared to this.
