Please!.... No "Plumber's Crack" Jokes! HA! HA! :D

WOOHOO! Ben had his graduation ceremony a few weeks ago! We didn't think is was going to be as big and fancy as it was- I was fighting a migraine, and we were running all over the place with errands- so we ALMOST missed it! (that should explain why we are so casually dressed!) I wish we would've dressed up A LITTLE more! HA! HA! OH WELL!

Ben passed his State Written portion test a few days later. Now he is working on his Practical Job portion of his State Licensure. He has to do a job by himself, start to finish, then pass inspection. He's looking like he'll complete that this week!!! So he's in the HOME STRETCH to acheive his JOURNEYMAN!!! We've been truly blessed having moved here! Heavenly Father has held us in his hands and we've felt him opening MANY doors for our behalf!

I'm VERY proud of Ben! I LOVE YOU MOSTEST!!!!!

DRAT!

Her name is Roxy and she has a home that loves and missed her! It's been fun Roxy! Maybe she'll run away again! :D

A Wonderful Easter and Unexpected Company

We had a Fantastic Easter! The day was absolutley gorgeous outside! The Easter Bunny found us and brought Mason a new toddler table/chairs, a game and a some summer outfits! Very stylish EASTER BUNNY! :D Mason is showing us the ART of looking for easter eggs under the couch!

On my way to church, I swurved to miss a wet, little fur ball! Those who know me, know I don't pick up stray dogs... but this little gal was aiming to get hit pretty quick if I didn't do something! So I stopped and she ran away of course! But I still felt like I should do something- Mason and I ran home, got a towel and a pizza to lure her in. She had mud caked all over her. Needless to say, we didn't make it to the majority of church- but I felt I was teaching an important lesson to Mason. Ben, having already been at church for meetings, was getting pretty worried that we weren't there yet. So he came looking for us and joined our little secret mission! :D She's a cute little gal after we cleaned her up! And Mason can't get enough of her!!! She's been fun!

We're looking for her owners of course, but let's just say- that she's growing on us if we can't! So let us know if you know where she belongs.....or name suggestions! :D

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!

One of My FaVoRiTe Things!!!

I don't know why I LOVE this, but I do! One of my favorite things about Mason is watching him eat an apple! Call it CrazyMommaLove! He gets so focused...and his little nose crinkles up... It just makes me smile- like watching a monkey in the zoo trying to figure it out! It's one of those things that makes me realize he's not a baby anymore!!! Just thought I'd share~

It's AMAZING what a Little Professional Help can do!

FINALLY treated myself to the hairdressers for some highlights and a cut. She cut A LOT of the bulk out of it! ... Why didn't anyone TELL ME that I looked like that!!!

BEFORE

AFTER

I'm Ready, Mr. Director!

Here I am enjoying a very INFORMATIVE pamphlet....

BUT WAIT!!..... Whose that on the cover?!
Yes, I've finally hit the BIG TIME! ...Sort of?!

At work- they were redoing the "Mammography and You" pamphlets, that we hand out to patients. They wanted to showcase our NEW DIGITAL machines. (They FREAKIN' ROCK by the way!) And yours truly was picked to play the part of "The Tech"... GOOD THING I've done LOTS of rehearsing for this BIG BREAK! I was told that Matthew McConaughey and I were going to have a close up as well, but then he had to cancel at the last minute...Something about being stuck surfing somewhere...Go figure! But, I DID get my own trailer!... "No- not realy....BUT- you can imagine if I did!" :D ( Points to whomever can name THAT movie... Aren't you glad this is an INTERACTIVE blog experience! HA! HA!)

It was a fun time FULL of laughs! The photographer kept saying, "just smile at the "patient" like you would in REAL life!"

To which I replied, " I DON'T just stand here and smile AT the patient in REAL LIFE!"

...But doesn't Jane, our "patient" here, look like she's having fun! She's one of the RN's I work with...We're BFF's now! :D
