What we do....

Our days seem quite monotonious these days as school often pokes its little head into our normal schedule one and sometimes two times a day. Here is a break down of WHAT WE DO!

MWF:
Clean, exercise, grocery shop or whatever we can fit in before 11:30, then Koen goes to play with Grandma or Aunt Jenn while mom goes to her day class. When Mom gets home it is nap time(most days Ü) and mom studies while Koester sleeps. Then when dad gets home we eat dinner, and then mom goes to school again.

TUESDAYS
: Koen and I usually try to do something fun on Tuesdays but often times end up staying home to clean up whatever messes have been left since last Tuesday's morning off. I only have school at night on Tuesday and usually have my doctors appts on Tuesday morning too. I have been bringing Koen with me to the Doctor which he finds most interesting, especially the light that moves around the table. I figure if I bring him with me we can usually hit the Aquarium after since we are right there! So we have done that after my last two appts.

Last month we went with Michelle, Seth and Macey. This was the first time Ko touched the star fish in the little "touch area" and he hasn't stopped talking about it since.

We went again yesterday and touching them was the part he couldn't wait for.

Koen waving at the Nemo fishes. Also since we were there last month they had completed a section of it where there are lots of Frog, turtles and aligators. Ko loves this little frog as you can see.

I tried to get a good picture with him and the jelly fish since I think they are so cool, but alas he is 3(basically). He thought this information desk looked a lot like thing the lady at church uses to led the music so he stood up to it and sang his little heart out.

Drivin the boat, hopefully one day he will be able to drive our boat! Ü

And the blessed THURSDAYS! They are my day of NO school! Too bad the one night I have off from school Phil works every other week. During the day I always try to find somewhere to go with Ko since I feel like he used to get everyday of "what does Koen want to do today?" and now that is like a once a weeker. We have been feeling our Thursdays with Discovery Gateway, Story time at the Library, feeding the ducks and play dates.

This was Koen's first experience eating snow. He brought some snow in from outside and I told him he better put it in a cup before it melted, and then asked him if he tried it. He looked at me funny then proceeded to do just as I mentioned, and was instantly a fan.

Last Thursday we went to Discovery Gateway with Michelle and Kids! Koen and Macey loved the bikes and cars.

I think Koen could have spent the whole day driving and gasing up the car.

What is Koen's face, that must be an intense horse ride. Yes he wore his rain boots cause as I mentioned above it snowed that morning, and he insisted.

The water area is always a hit.

It was Dr Suess week so they had story time. Michelle and I joined in the fun with our hats. Basically the boys didnt like the story but more so running around the large room!


SATURDAYS: Phil works all the day long so Ko and I are all alone. It seems we do random odds and ends on Saturday but nothing ever very exciting.

SUNDAYS: Church of course and a lesson for one of us. Koen loves nursery and we are surprisinlgy loving 1 PM church.

REPEAT!!!!

In all of the madness we do try to sneak some family time in! Last week we actually went out to dinner twice(not that going out is necessarily a good health choice, but it allows us family time) On Tuesday after my Anatomy lab midterm we went out to celebrate me being done with my never ending studying for that exam, and on Thursday Phil had the night off so we went to Texas Roadhouse! YUM! I do however have to brag for a moment because I am really proud of myself, I have pulled A's on all 3 of my exams so far(Anatomy, Anatomy Lab and Chemistry) I am so happy I literally want to shout from the roof tops! haha


I had to post all of these cause you would think after taking 4 pictures you could get a decent one, guess not huh?


Koen riding the saddle at Texas Roadhouse and Phil wanted me to take a picture of this armadillo because he said that is exactly what it looked like when he was served it in Uruguay, minus the bottle.

So that is our life. Busy but mostly enjoyable.

Few other tidbits:
*Everything is looking great with the baby still. He is a crazy maniac who never quits moving, and still does not have a name(although Koen and Phil "argue" about this on an almost daily basis) I had my glucose test yesterday and that came back great, but of course my iron is low, whats new? I dont have any new pictures but am getting as big as a house. Maybe I will have my mom take some when she gets home from her cruise!(so jealous of that by the way)
*Also next week is Spring Break! Hip hip hooray! I cant wait to have the week off, nor can I wait for Scrapbook Expo!
*Phil has just 2 1/2 more weeks at his current rotation then a one week break and he is on to his final one, which he switched to be back at Jordan Valley Hospital outpaitent where he will have much more time to study and prepare for his boards than he would have in the cardiology Dept at IMC. YAY PHIL!

You are such a fun mama! Your boys are lucky. And you look fabulous as usual. As for the girls clothing, I am a complete cheap skate and Emma pretty much wears all of Ruby's hand me downs. Which at this point is ok because they are like new and we just fill in any gaps with new things for her. I am so excited that Phil is almost done with school. Also do you recall our plan to move our trailers on to zoogly's lot? Ha ha good times!

The Johnson Family said...

Wow...it sounds like you guys are staying very busy. I bet all that going to school and busy schedule is making the pregnancy fly by (which is a good thing, if you ask me).
I loved seeing all of the pictures. It already seems like a long time since we have seen you guys. Take Care!!

em said...

Wow you are busy! I can't imagine going to school and being a mom and being preggers. You are brave! On top of it you are fun with Koen and look awesome. Oh yeah and you excercise. I need to get on the ball...

Gina said...

That was a great post! I loved reading about your weekly routine and good baby news. I am glad you still manage to get phone calls to me in there! Busy woman! I am proud of you for keeping up and doing so well!

WRYUN said...

Good job on the A's!! I don't know how you do it though....I can't believe Phil's almost done, how exciting for you guys. It's going to be great to have him back again! (hopefully!!)

Amie said...

Wow what a busy life!!! It sounds like you guys are living it up. I really need to take Camrie more places. I'm so lame. Most the time we sit at home or sit at my parents home. That Aquarium sounds way fun. What age do you think is a good age to start taking a kid there? I have never been there and I stop myself from going a lot of places because I think that Camrie is to young and that she wont even care. That is so awesome that you are doing well in your classes even with being prego and having a kid to take care of 24/7.

Busy woman! I hear you on the husband always working thing. We hardly ever get to do any family stuff cause Tanner is asleep by the time Brad gets off. Congrats on 3 A's!

Great Update Sis!!! It was fun to see you guys for a split second and thanks for watching the girls that was a fun early morning temple run with the hub! Love the singing at the "music stand" from Ko...super cute! And I really want to take the girls to the Fish place...totally not going to try and spell that word! Any who...looks like a lot of fun, and for sure you are not as big as a house...you are as big as a small pregnant person silly! And It makes me feel better that phil works on Saturday's because I am always alone on Saturday's! Love you guys!

I didn't know they opened up that new section of the aquarium--We've definitely got to go.

For some reason your "hip hip hooray" got me laughing really hard! I must be in a weird mood.
You're a busy busy mama too bad it's just gonna get MUCH busier with baby #2, whatever his name is!
We love "Peanuts"! That's what my girls call Texas Roadhouse. They are very literal about places like that. Popcorn Popping is what they call Target since we get p-corn every time we go there.
You need to call me up one of these days when you go to the aquarium or to Discovery. Miss u cuz.

ANGELA OR PAUL said...

Come on out baby!!! I love all the visitors we can get! It is a perk of living so close to all these fun cities cuz it's more of a chance to have people come visit. Looks like you and Ko are having so much fun together!! and you are about the cutest prego mom ever. you make me sick!:)

McKenzie said...

Congrats on the good grades! I'm proud of you. You look darling!

Tayna said...

You are one crazy, busy momma! Being pregnant with a toddler is a feat in and of itself, but with school on top of it!! You rock girl! We live a hop, skip and a jump away from the aquarium, give me a buzz next time you go and we'll join you! 801-918-5137.
