This week has flown by so fast! Each day has been completely filled with things to do. The highlight of the week...Todd was offered employment! He is so excited for this new opportunity. We are so proud of him! (Although the kids and I am really going to miss him not being around all the time.)

• On Monday, Addy had a Rockin' 50's party to celebrate only 50 days left of the school year. She borrowed her little poodle skirt from her cousin Jane and dressed the part.

• After one of our very busy days Boden didn't get his nap and he just couldn't take it anymore...

• I woke up one morning and the sky was aglow. The picture does not do the beauty justice but it was breathtaking. Made me think of the small but numerous beautiful things in my life.

• Brynn had to return to the dentist this week and get some dental work done. One filling and a cap on one tooth. They gave her laughing gas and boy, was she ever funny! She kept talking really loud, laughing and giggling, and waving her hands everywhere. I was cracking up! The gas definitely works since she did great while they did the work.
• We took Bodee's bottle away this week. And he survived. He's doing very well considering his usual immediate comfort is gone. It had to be done, but it is always a hard process for child and parent. I'm just glad it's over with:)
• I found a local school close to home that would allow me to begin a nursing program in May and graduate in December 2013! To be accepted I had to take the TEAS V test. I standardized test for nursing applicants. I was kinda worried but it turns out, I did great! I hope the final details work out so I can finish this never ending degree.
• Friday night I was lucky to have a Girls Night Out! My friend Elizabeth and I went to to watch The Hunger Games. I usually don't like movies that have been adapted from books but I really liked this movie! Even though I knew what was going to happen I was on edge the whole second half. It was really nice to have dinner and laugh and talk with my dear friend. I'm so glad we live so close to each other. 
• On Saturday Todd and I went to the funeral for someone that was very close to Cathy, Todd's mother. I didn't know the man at all and Todd knew him some but we went to support our wonderful mother. It was the first LDS funeral I had ever been to and it definitely helped us remember our priorities in life. Heavenly Father, spouse, family. After the funeral we ate a quick lunch at Cafe Paesan then ran a few errands. I sure do love spending time with my sweet husband!
