WOOOOOHOOOOOO  we just saved $75 a month by switching our car insurance to GEICO!!!  That's a whopping $900 a year!!  As you can tell we're looking for ways to cut back our expenses in order to pay off debt and save for a down payment on a house.  I'm motivated.

Kendall and I spent today and the weekend together as daddy had a tournament at the Olympic Training Center.  We spent a lot of time outside over the weekend as the temps topped 60 degrees!  I'm trying to get as much mommy daughter time in as I will be spending the next 8 days straight at the hospital.  I might as well move in there - that's 96 hours in 8 days!! 

It's all worth it though, because then Kendall and I are headed to beautiful, snowy Milwaukee, WI to visit my sister and Jon, and the cutie patootie Grady  :)

What a little hunnie!!  Grady's 2 week old pic  ♥

I had to add this video of "Chatty Kathy"  :)

What a beautiful day we had today!  The high topped 60 degrees, so Kendall and I spent much of the afternoon outside.  We've been battling the stomach flu at our house the past few days, so it was good to get out and get some fresh air!!

Oooops!!  Spilled the goldfish on the stairs!

Kendall loves her puppies!!

Enjoying the beautiful weather!

Let me tell you something. Every person you meet is going through some sort of trial in their life. Whether big or small, you are not the judge of it and unless you have walked a day in their shoes, you have absolutely no right to analyze, critique, or judge anything about them. Your job is to face your own trials and to hopefully understand the trials other people face in doing so...

These judgments are what tear friendships apart, cause people to suppress their feelings, and cause depression and loneliness to instill themselves in people's lives. When we all stand before God, we stand there equally.  So stop assuming you have the right to even raise an eyebrow at another person.

Yesterday was a tough day at work, and it was a day where I wanted to say the above to a few people...but I didn't.  I bit my tongue and went about my day, caring for my patients and doing what I love.

Kendall and I made Valentine's Day cookies today.  She is getting very interested in being involved with activities and helping mom and dad out  :)  She has also established her new favorite word for the week, "mine".

My sister and Mr. Handsome are doing great and we already

love him so much!!  I'm already counting down the

days until I get to meet him  :)

No baby yet......Chels had a doctor's appointment today and she is dilated to 3 cm but is not in active labor, so the plan is that if she does not go in to labor over the weekend, she will have her water broken on Monday morning!  Please pray for a problem free labor for her  :)


Kendall's new ritual is to wait by the window for the dogs to come inside each morning.  She sure looks cute doing it!

Shortly thereafter, she managed to completely destroy the living room!

We then headed into town to go grocery shopping and after an hour of Ms. Kendall jibber jabbering in the shopping cart, she was ready for a nap!

Wait.....What?  Since when did we get a cat??

We survived the blizzard!!  We got about 18 inches at our house starting Thursday night and further north (where I work) the total was 27 inches!!  It is crazy how just 5 miles from our house (western Colorado Springs) only received a mere 3 inches or so!!  The weather changes fast out here!  Looks like we'll be getting some more snow this week, although most of what we received over the weekend has melted already.

I'm still patiently waiting to be an aunt for the first time!  Chelsey's due date has come and gone.....hopefully this week we'll see some action!  The doctor told Chels that she will start thinking about having to induce her on Friday.  I told Chelsey that I'm praying for her this week....that she won't have to be induced, although it would be pretty neat to have a Valentine's baby  :)


Hope you all have a great week! 

Happy Thursday everyone!!

I had the day off today so Kendall and I went to visit daddy at the Olympic Training Center as USA Wrestling is hosting a tournament through Saturday.  Afterward, we went to the mall and played on the play set there and had lunch at Culvers.  It was a good day spent together as I will not see Kendall until Sunday since I work tomorrow and Saturday.  Working only 3-12 hour shifts a week is nice because I get to have 4 days off a week to spend with Kendall, but I sure do miss her and hubby when I am working as I end up being gone from home for 16 hours on those days  :(

I'm headed up to Denver to stay with my Aunt and Uncle tonight since we are supposed to get hammered with snow.  It will make the morning commute a whole lot easier since they live about 5 miles from my work  :)                                     And it has begun.....

Have a great weekend everyone!!  Be safe on SuperBowl SUNDAY!!!

Kendall is feeling much better and even found time to check out what she wanted to eat in the fridge...

Happy girl!!!

So I was going through videos tonight and found this cute one of Kendall and "Dukey".  I'm thinking maybe she'll be a doctor or a veterinarian one day....still interested in the "body parts".......
She can now tell us where her head, hair, eyes, nose, mouth, tongue, teeth, ears, shoulders, neck, chin, elbows, knees, belly button, fingers, toes, and "tush" are  :)
