25 Days

I am sad to say that I only have twenty-five days left before I go back to school. I admit that it makes me sad and the very thought of leaving McKensie... well, we won't go there right now. I am only going to think happy thoughts and make the best of the rest of the summer.


Things I want to do still:

• Go boating at Pineview at least twice: dad... I need your help with this :-)
• Go to the Zoo with Kensie
• Study: YIKES... I know that this shouldn't be aloud on my fun summer list, but if I want to pass my boards next year I have to STUDY, STUDY, STUDY!!!
• Play with friends and family (because I won't see them once school, textbooks, and clinicals set in)
• Enjoy being a mom and have lots of fun with McKensie!

So far this summer we have had a lot of fun as you can tell by my previous posts. Other things we have done that I haven't told you about yet include:

Layton High School Friend Party: In June I had a party with several of my friends from high school. We had fun, but it was unlike any party we have had before with toddlers and babies all over the place :-) It was a blast. I loved seeing all my friends, especially Lanaiah who was visiting from Hawaii where she has lived the past few years (So we haven't seen her a whole lot as you can imagine). We have officially been graduated for five years, I am assuming we aren't having a five year reunion... does any one know why?

Spa Day: My mom celebrated her 39th ;-) birthday on July 16th and for a present from my sister Amy she sent both my mom AND me to a day spa for massages and pedicures. It was AMAZING!!! Thank you Amy!

Real Soccer Game: As you know, we have season tickets to Real. Since Kensie's seizures started however, I stopped going to the games and stayed home with Kensie because they always went past her bedtime which made it too hard with her drugs that make her so tired. On July 23rd however, I attempted to bring her to another game which had fireworks afterward for Pioneer Day. Kensie did very well and slept through the second half of the game. She woke up just in time to see fireworks for the very first time. She loved them! She wasn't scared at all and would point and wave to the fireworks. With the attention span of a baby however she would loose interest every now and then until there was a big bright one and then she would point and watch some more. By the finale she was exhausted and layed quietly in my arms with tired eyes just staring at the fireworks.

Hanging out with the family: As many of you know, we are living with my in laws. Here we are barbecuing one Sunday evening.
