May



May was a rough month! I was soooooooooo ready to be done with teaching and Josh's grandpa passed away. We made a quick trip to Blanding. Here's a picture of Grandma and Grandpa Skinner when Abbi was a baby!
I celebrated my 29th birthday! I'm getting old! Josh and the girls surprised me with a cake and ice cream! Josh gave me a pressure cooker in April as an early present, because I wanted one sooooo bad and wanted to start cooking with one. I make a pretty good meatloaf and a chicken tortillini!
Pictures from my classroom. My BFF Emily Miller and Student Council kids decorated my classroom!


Here are some pictures of my final days in my classroom!



The last day of school, Josh and I went on a day date to Oregano's for lunch and stopped at the local skate shop and bought him a skateboard! Its been fun to watch him and the girls play!



April

APRIL FOOLS! We literally found out we were pregnant again on April 1st! Hooray! The following pictures are how we told our familes. I made a book with baby pictures and the number of each grandchild. I told all the siblings I was making a "Mother's Day" gift and was able to get pictures without them know! We had to mail Ken & Calie's since they live in Utah and gave my parent's their copy at our annual tax season dinner! It was a lot of fun!

I also turned in my letter of resignation the end of April!! Woo-hoo!

March

Josh FINALLY was able to get a job in the nursing field. He is working in Scottsdale at a skilled nursing facility and hoping to transfer over to a hospital soon! He works the night shift from 10pm to 6:30 am, Sunday-Thursday night!
When we received his first "real" paycheck after training, I about peed my pants with excitement that I was going to be able to be a stay at home with my kids!!

February

Abbi turned 3 on February 2nd. We had a bunch of family and friends over for pizza and cake! You would have thought it was Christmas morning with all the gifts she received. Josh and I made her a princess castle cake that she absolutely loved! Thanks to all who came over to celebrate! Here are some pictures!
