Relaxing

So here we are just relaxing after church on Sunday. Not much of a post, but hey - it gave me something to do! Oh, and the bruise was from me hitting the edge of the car door while trying to close it with my leg. No bueno.

Babysitting and Gingerbread Houses

This last Saturday with babysat the Southam boys again! We had a lot of fun making gingerbread houses while the littlest one was taking a nap. Here are some pictures!





Mixing the icing for the houses!














Jason and Ryan frosting Ryan's house.




Aidan and Dallen with their gingerbread house!















The icing was kind of difficult to apply, so Jason and I helped with that...








The completed project! Ryan couldn't stop eating the icing.














Aidan and me with the other completed house.

Exciting News!

While Jason and I were looking into the different options he has to take a Physiology class, we received a tender mercy from above. You see, he has to complete and Anatomy and Physiology class before he can get in to the Paramedic Program. We were looking into doing open enrollment through Chico State ($1000 - last resort!!), possibly getting added into a full class at Butte College (but the waiting list was full too, so the chances were extremely slim), or taking an Anatomy and Physiology class through NCTI (the same place Jason took his EMT courses). The class at NCTI would only be on Wednesday's, and about a month long ($300+). So once I found this course, I was really excited. He would be done with the classes in time for the Paramedic Program! So we called Butte College and talked with the Paramedic Program's Admissions lady to ask if they would except the classes from NCTI. NO - they would not. Our hearts saddened... but alas - she then asked what classes Jason had taken from BYU-Idaho for Anatomy and Physiology, and she said that those would work!!! Because it's just a technical program and not a degree, they accept a minimum of 4 credits in Anatomy and Physiology to the program. THAT MEANS JASON DOESN'T HAVE TO TAKE THOSE CLASSES BEFORE HE CAN APPLY. HE'S APPLYING NOW!!! YAYAYAY!!!! The program takes place this fall, and if there are more qualified applicants than spaces available, they will do a lottery. We don't usually gamble, but this lottery is a must! PLEASE KEEP HIM IN YOUR PRAYERS!!!! Thank you to all of you for your continued love and support. We'll keep you posted!!!

Happy Birthday Jason!!!

Here is Jason's Birthday cake that I made him!!
