I PASSED!!!

I took the Critical Care Registered Nurse exam today and passed. I studied for it alot, my kids (and husband) were starting to get sick of me always being on the computer taking practice tests. I didn't want to fail though, it cost me $300 to take the darn test, I wanted to pass the first time. It was a hard test and I am so relieved to have that over with! Thanks Blake for the beautiful flowers you sent me for passing. Now all I have to do is decide where to go for my celebratory dinner!

Max loses another tooth!

Max has lost his 4 bottom front teeth and finally he has lost one of the top front teeth. The one next to it is pretty loose as well so he might have one of those goofy toothless smiles pretty soon! I think that would be pretty cute! So listen to what a fabulous mom I am, NOT. I totally forgot to leave money under his pillow! I am such a loser! I was totally studying for a big test I had to take and I guess my thoughts were completely consumed by this test that I forgot about being the tooth fairy. Well in my quick thinking I told Max that the tooth fairy left it for him so that he could take it to school to show his friends because he had been saying he wished he could do that and to put it under his pillow again tonight so she can leave him some money for it. I think he bought it but WOW did I feel like a jerk! Someone better call me tonight and remind me, I don't want to go down as the worst mom ever!!

Pinewood Derby

Last night was Gage's first Pinewood Derby. He came home a little disappointed because he didn't make it into the finals but only 5 out of 15 boys did. The Cubmaster made little trophy stands for all of the boys and Gage got the shiniest paint job award. This was a great award for him because before the car even had it's first coat of paint he said he wanted a shiny paint job. Gage and Blake put a lot of work into the car and had fun together doing it. Overall, this was a great experience and we're looking forward to next year. Blake already has some plans in the works!

Spring fever??

I cannot wait for Spring to kick in! The weather here in Salt Lake City is totally teasing us though. One day it is warm (Okay not really all that warm, like upper 50's but you do start to see the shorts and tanks come out at that temperature. Crazy, huh?!) and then just yesterday it snowed! Have I mentioned before that I am sooooo over the snow? I am so ready for real Spring weather that I even started a little Spring cleaning, okay alot of Spring cleaning. Blake will make his third trip to DI (like a Salvation Army) tomorrow, and they weren't small loads either. Just out of my closet alone there were four trash bags of clothes! Then we cleaned out every single closet in the house and did a major overhaul on our bedroom and the office. The house is looking great though. I've come to realize if I haven't used it or worn it in the two years we've been here I probably never will.
