Mirror Lake

Over the weekend we went camping in the Uintas with some friends. It was beautiful and Henry tried out his swimming legs. He is quite the swimmer but he got really cold when he got out. We had to rap him up in towels and andrews's jacket to keep him warm but he loved it. He is the freaking coolest dog and you should all be jealous of his coolness. We went fishing at teapot lake and I caught a fish skeleton....thats it. I know pathetic but it was really fun. Apparently the fish did not like the pink marshmellow fish bait I had picked out. I made this rockin' dutch oven dinner that you would all be proud of. I actually really like to cook in the dutch ovens. We usually eat better camping then at home, is that wrong? We had raccoons in our camp at night and andrew tagged one of them with a huge rock, I think that it probably has some sort of brain injury now. Henry growled at them but then tried to make friends with them. It was rather entertaining watching the three boys chasing around the raccoons. Overall, a successful camping trip. It is really beautiful up there and I highly recommend it to everyone.

Henry

Introducing Henry Ward. He is 10 weeks old and is quite the little shit but we love him. He loves toilet paper, shoes and everything he is not supposed to get into. He loves to play catch and will play all day with you. He can already sit, shake and give high fives. He is very entertaining and routinely runs into things. He is getting bigger everyday.


Like father like son

Andrews hair

He's playing with the other dog...but the other dog knows his every move...

sweet tan man!

This is what I get for being dumb. We rode 50 miles on Saturday and this is what I endend up with. I look HOT in a swim suit.

Andrew the seamstress

Andrew was given a long sleeve workout shirt by his dad when we were in Oregon. When I woke up Saturday morning Andrew informed me that he had made a jersey. "When?" I ask. "At about 3am last night," he calmly replies. He then proceeds to tell me how he made it, seeing that he has never sewn before. "I cut off the sleeves and used them to make the pockets in the back but I was too impatient to pin anything on so they are a little crooked. "Then I cut up my jock strap and used the elastic for the sleeves!" He then proceeds to proudly displays his work of art. It looks great! "How did you change the thread color and bobbin?" I ask. "I don't know, I just put it in."(cause its so easy...) I am so blown away by his skills and luck because the jersey looks so great and he even rode it on our bike ride that day. Andrew has continued his mad skills by hemming a bunch of his pants and making them into shorts. I love this man! I would like to add that I did not help him at all on any of these projects. Maybe he should consider a career change.
And this is what our office looked like after he was done.

First Day of School

Do you remember in elementary school when you were so excited for school to start that you laid your clothes out a week in advance. Thats how I felt and yes I really laid my clothes out to wear a week before school. Here is my uniform and yes that badge does say "Stephanie, Student Nurse"

These are my books...for summer semester only. I spent about $700. I am still recovering and I still have one more to buy. I am sure that all these books are worth what I paid for them.......including the $150 in internet access codes I had to buy. Really! Really.

Swine Flu.....

This is what I wear to work in the ER so that I don't catch the oh sooooo deadly swine flu. Ok no not really but I had you going. We had a hazmat drill and this is my getup. I know you are jealous but I would like to point out that my outfit costs about 8,000 dollars. Gucci eat your heart out. And on a side note 36,000 people die of the regular flu every year and so far only 2 in the US have died, so if you come into the ER and you have the sniffles, you don't have the swine flu so sit down, your going to be there awhile. I would again like to clarify what an EMERGENCY is. Not breathing, heart attacks(and yes I know if your faking it), uncontrolled bleeding from a missing limb(lacerations don't count) etc. Everyone else get comfortable because its going to be a while. We see an AVERAGE of 250 patients a day so bring it on.
