She's 2!!!

What a wonderful 2 years it has been being mommy to Mackenzie. She has blessed my life in ways I never thought possible. She is so sweet but oh so sassy. She loves to squish our cheeks and give us a kiss, and lets not forget the family hugs that she just gets a kick out of.

Sweet Mackenzie Joy,

You are a big girl now! But know this, you will always be our baby girl. We love you so very much. Never forget that we want the best for you but will always do our best in letting you grow up! Even if it is too fast. You will always have our undying love and support, NO MATTER WHAT. We cherish every single second we have with you. You have brought something into our lives that makes the world a better place to live in. There are so many people that love you! Happy 2nd birthday to our sugar booger! We love you!

Blogger has now set up texting updates. We'll see how this works!

Back online!

So I've been MIA from the blog for a little while, sorry! We moved almost a month ago now to be closer to Matt's work and closer to our friends. I now have a bit of a commute up to school and clinicals but I don't mind it. The new house is AMAZING! I love it. We still have a lot to unpack but seeing as though I started my 5th quarter of the nursing program a week after we moved in, I haven't had time to unpack a lot of stuff. We finally got our internet hooked up and then my laptop decided to go kaput. So, my new laptop is up and running and now I can blog again! I will take some pictures of the house and put them up so you can see. Mackenzie just loves it. She walks around the house saying "new house." It's cute.

Speaking of Mackenzie, can you believe she is going to be 2 years old at the end of next week? I can't believe it. It's crazy! What happened to my baby? She is such a big girl now! She is talking so well and trying to form sentences. She says "I'm a big girl." And, when I ask how old she is going to be, she replies with "2!" Her favorite things right now are The Wiggles, cheetos, apple juice, and running around in our new yard. She also will say "I love you too" when we tell her we love her. It's super cute. She's been a bit under the weather this week with a cold which means she's not sleeping much which in turn means I'm not sleeping much. I also figured out that keeping a night light in her room causes her not to sleep as well. Last night she actually pointed to it and said "no light." So I unplugged it and she slept just fine. Woke up a couple of times coughing but it was much easier to put her back to sleep than it has been the last few nights.

Pictures of the house and of course some of Kenzie coming soon!

From 201 to 202 baby!

Ok this is not a post about Mackenzie but about nursing school. This was one of the toughest quarters I've gone through. I wasn't passing the ENTIRE quarter, until the final. I squeaked by and am going on to the next quarter! OH YEAH. Me and my girls will be there with bells on. Two more quarters to go and we will be nurses. LOOK OUT. Here are me and my girls at the candle lighting ceremony for our friends that graduated this quarter. We are so very proud of them and look up to them. They rock and therefore we shall follow in their footsteps and rock it just as hard. To my girls Dena and Whitney, you are amazing and I am so happy that we are on this journey together. I need you to keep my sanity and to remind me to take my vitamin D. I love you girls.

10 years ago next Friday....

.....Matt and I were married. I can't believe it's been 10 years! He is the most amazing man I know and I can't imagine my life without him. I love the life we have created together.

I need your help though! Our budget is super tight right now since we are buying a new home. I need some ideas from you on something very thoughtful and sweet to do for him that won't cost much. I'm not that creative! Help me! Email me your ideas! foster.eva@gmail.com.

Tr-tr-tr TRUCK

She really is trying to say "truck" I promise! I hope it doesn't offend anyone!




She has her sock on her hand. A habit of hers when she's in the car is taking off her shoes and socks, then putting the sock on her hand like a puppet.

Potty time! Excellent!

Mackenzie decided to go pee pee on the potty chair all by herself! Usually she will undress herself, sit on the potty chair and then run off and around the house in her birthday suit. This time, I let her be. She came into the kitchen asking "was dat?" She literally pulled me over to her potty chair and there was pee in it!! I was so proud of her! Now, do you think she even wants to think about sitting on that potty chair anymore? Nope! It was a nice surprise though! This week she got advanced to the next age group at daycare. They work with the kids and potty train! Hallelujah! Apparently when they sat Kenz on the toilet she freaked out. In time, in time. She's not 2 just yet.
