Survivor...

We just finished watching the tivo-ed finale of Survivor.

I love that show.  In 9 years and 18 seasons I have probably only missed 2 or 3 seasons.

In all that time I have never disliked anyone as much as this guy...

Did anyone else want to punch this joker right in the face?!?

I am glad I won't be seeing anymore of this "Dragon Slayer."

Speaking of t.v./people we don't like, my distaste for Coach was only rivaled by Tony's utter hatred of Adam who just lost American Idol.  That's a whole other story.

Obviously we watch way too much t.v.

Ready to Rock...

Tony started the physician's assistant program today.

It was his

first

day of school for the

last

time...Ever!

He was fully equipped with his new bag, watch and phone, all of which he insisted would make him a better, more organized student.  I guess I can't argue with that.

He has class Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.  So really it will be like a full time job.  He is going to continue working some evenings and some call shifts until July so we will have insurance benefits for the birth of the new baby.  I am used to him being at work for 7 days in a row and barely seeing him but I am also used to him having 7 days off in a row where all we do is play.  That is going to be the hardest part for me...I loved those weeks off.

We went to a mix and mingle/BBQ with a lot of the students on Saturday night and it was really exciting to meet the people he would be spending so much time with.  We met some great people who are in our same situation (school, young kids, living on loans) and I think we will make some great friendships over the next 27 months.

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Keep up the good work baby, I am so proud of you!

Cuatro de Mayo...

I wanted to have a Cinco de Mayo celebration today but Tony had a biology final and Alicia and I had a card party so we decided to celebrate a day early.  I think I smell a new tradition brewing.

Monday night we had my family over for a little Mexican cuisine.  Chloe told me a few weeks ago that she loved when we had a fire last year at Tony's graduation party and wanted to do it again.  So, of course we had to that too.

Please note the couches on our back patio.  That's right, we are officially porch monkies.  We got some new (to us) couches (I will blog about that later) and put our old ones on the back porch until the garage sale (I will blog about that later too) and have ended up liking them there.  Kind of cozy.

Cutest

Kids

Ever

Well besides this little narfer...  

Here Indie is being fed chocolate by Grandma, and loving every bite.

Hanging out by the fire...

The best quote of the night came from Chloe.

We were sitting around the fire and little sparks were popping on us so mom said, "Chlo do you know what to do if you catch on fire?"  Shrugging her shoulders, she replied, "I don't know, run around in circles."  We were all dying of laughter.  Then we promptly taught the kids about "stop, drop and roll."

It was a great Cuatro de Mayo indeed.

The Nursery...

The bedding has been purchased and the colors have been chosen...

Results to follow...

Playing Tetris with Mom...

I found these pics from a few months ago when Lydi pulled out the ol' Nintendo 64 and we rocked us some Tetris.

Indie just chilled in my "t.v. chair," nibbled on the cord and learned from the master.

I don't mean to brag but I play a pretty mean game of Tetris.  I guess I should've spent a little more time doing homework in Provo rather than Tetris-ing it up...right Elly?!?

Don't be surprised...

if this new baby comes out looking like this...

I can't stop eating Life cereal.  

We're talking at least one bowl a day...if not more.  For a while I was having it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  

It's healthy right?

Indie channeling The Donald...

You're Fired.
