Paul passed his Physical Therapy Exam

Paul found out a couple weeks ago that he passed his exam that he has been studying night and day for. He looked in the mail box every day to be disapointed, finaly it came on Friday. We were getting ready to leave to run erands so me and Tacoma were sitting in the car. Paul opened his letter in the drive way and started yelling at the top of his lungs Yahooooo!!!!!! . It was kind of funny because our neighbor was outside and said "what , did you get your government check" Paul just laughed and said even better I passed my test. Paul started work the next Tuesday in Heriman. If you don't know where that is it is by the cenecot mine South West part of Salt lake Valley. So we are going to move and we are trying to fix our house up to sell. I am so sick of painting and working on the house hopefully it pays off.

Tacoma has five teeth



Tacoma, Mauriella and Andrew



Me and Steph pushed 4 kids up a hill for our run on Thursday. We crammed three kids into a double stroller. Mauriella and Tacoma cried for the first part and by the end they were cheek to cheek a sleep. Its amazing what moms have to do to get a run in when you have so many kids I don't know how steph does it. I had a fun weekend with Steph and her kids we also celebrated me and Brandon's B-day on Friday. Emily made us both cake and made us some good food. Saturday we went to Marsela (our cousins) quincenera her fifteenth birthday party. It was good to see all of my family.

Paul Finally Graduates with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy






We went to Paul's Hooding Ceremony on Wednesday. It was a not exactly organized. Paul and his class mates have been going once a month for the last three years to raise money for the Graduation. The class president wanted to have a nice dinner for each of the students families. Paul could only invite 10 people when there are 11 kids in his family so no spouses were invited and luckily someone couldn't come. I was planning on a nice formal dinner. (Not quite) When we got there Paul's Dad had saved us a table but there were only 12 tables and 43 in his graduating class if you do the math not enough room for everyone. We waited in line forever for the the food, they ran out and we ended up eating crackers, cheese and fruit. I was angry but didn't want to ruin Paul's big day. After that we went into another room for the hooding ceremony, the speakers were boring but It was nice to see each student get honored in what he is specializing in. After the ceremony we went out to eat because we were still hungry. The next day was sopose to be the graduation for the college of Health but we decided not to go. We had enough Graduation fun the day before. Any way Paul is finally graduated but still needs to take his final test to get licensed as a Physical Therapist. He takes the test May 9Th. So you probably wont see him before that because he is studying day and night I am surprised to see him when he comes out of his cave for food and water (JK) I want to tell Paul that I am so proud of him. Paul now has a Doctorate degree from the University of Utah. This has been the longest three years of my life!

Curly hair boy!




I have been stopped in the store by people telling me what a cute girl I have. He has nothing feminine on, everything is blue. But maybe it is the hair and the long eye lashes, they are longer than mine. Any way Tacoma is pulling him self up on to everything. He is walking along the couch and furniture. He is getting into everything I had fake pine trees I had to hide because he kept pulling them on his head. Tacoma has also been a pain in the neck he now has 4 teeth and is always in pain. He has refused to eat, I cant wait until this teething process is over.
