Summer 2012

We found out we are having a little girl! We are so excited. She is due October 15th. We found out she was a girl on May 30th. It took 45 minutes before she finally let us see what she was. The ultrasound tech gave up trying to find out what she was, but luckily she forgot to take the baby's heart rate so she had to ultrasound me again and she had finally moved and showed us she was a girl!

 Her feet were in her face the whole time and she would not move!

 I got to have another ultrasound 8 weeks later because they didn't get good pictures of her heart, umbilical cord and face. I am now almost 32 weeks. We are so excited to meet her!

 A  patient I took care of for a couple days made these for the baby.

In June we had a little unexpected trip to the ER.

 Then my dad got flown to TMC in Tucson.

 My dad came home from selling a car one day and he was very pale, sweaty, and weak. We checked his blood sugar and it was 379, blood pressure was extremly low, and his heart rate was in the 40's. I tried checking his pulse from his wrist and I couldn't even feel one there. By the time we finally got him talked into going to the ER he was so weak he couldn't stand up. I called 911 and the ambulance came. When they got there his heart rate was 28 and his blood pressure was 70's/40's. When he got to the ER they had to place a temporary pacemaker just so his heart would beat at a normal rate. They flew him to TMC and put him in the ICU. When they got his lab work back they found that his Potassium was 7.0 and that was causing all his symptoms. 

We got a puppy! Her name is Mia and she is a boxer. 

We took a trip to Las Vegas the begining of August. It was really fun! 

We were only pulled over once. It wasn't even for speeding so no tickets!

We only had one small mishap with the trailor.

We got to play a bunch of carnival games at the Excaliber while waiting for our show to start.

TOURNAMENT OF KINGS.

They feed you during the show and it is supposed to be like old times so you eat with your hands.

The boys all went to Lake Mead one day so they girls went shopping.

M&M Factory

We did a lot of swimming

 CRISS ANGEL

I have been dying to see this show. They wouldn't let you take pictures until the very end and it was so dark the pictures didn't come out that well.

MAY?!?

Well I am FINALLY blogging about spring break. This year we went to San Antonia, Texas. It was a long trip but we had a lot of fun when we got there. My pictures are completely out of order but it would take way too long to fix them all. 

The trip there we had to stop A LOT to let Miki get out and run around. Plus traveling with 12 people, there are a lot of potty breaks!



We went to Sea World one day and it was a lot of fun. We even got to feed and touch the dolphins

 Miki LOVED the fish. She didn't want to leave.

 Atlantis was really fun and we got really wet!

 We saw Shamu!

 We went to the Alamo

 We rode a boat through the river walk

 We talked Rocki into FINALLY getting her ears pierced

 We celebrated Grandpa Jim's birthday

 We went to Randolf Air Force Base where Grandpa and my mom lived for a few years

 This was the house they used to live in. We were able to go inside and look around.

In April, Bryce and I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary! I can't believe its been 3 years already. Time flies!

And now its the middle of May. Bryce finished his first year at New Mexico State University and I have been working as a nurse for 8 months.

This December has been a cold one for us in Las Cruces! We've had 2 big snow storms this December and it never snows there!

On the way to work one morning

 This Christmas we spent by ourselves in Las Cruces. I had to work the 23rd-26th. I was lucky enough to get put on call Christmas morning!

 One house we went to Christmas night had a light show that went to music. We waited in line 20 minutes to see this house!

For New Years, Chani, Jory, and Miki came to visit us! We love visitors!
