Crawling

One of my Favorite Things

I really love when they have the same look on their faces at the same time. Is that dorky? I think it is so sweet :)

Bunnies Bunnies Everywhere!

Scott's Birthday BBQ

Since Scott had his birthday party the day before Easter, we had an impromptu Easter egg hunt at the park.


It's kinda shadowy, but I love this pic of Brenda and her girls. Hopefully she won't mind me splattering it on the internet!

We all had a great time! Nothing like enjoying Spring a month earlier than last year and enjoying it with friends!

Crimzoni and the Bonkasaurus

I LOVE LOVE LOVE hanging out with Crimson and her friend Bianca! They are so hilarious when they are together. Not only that, but I learn something new about Bianca every time!

We went to the Pavilion in Sioux Falls to check out the science center they have for the kiddies up there. Here's what I learned about Bianca:

1. She can make a near perfect imitation of a semi-truck horn
2. She prefers grilled cheese to pizza.
3. She has to pee as often as I do.
4. She can make a rad dino face:



5. She takes great photos!


6. She's an awesome friend



I so miss that "best friends" comradery from the elementary school days. There just isn't time for all that when you're grown! It's just a different kind of thing once ya grow up I guess.

I Blame the Robins!

For some reason, the kids were up at 6:45AM yesterday. This is about two hours earlier than normal! Well, Rejeanne was supposed to see her speech therapist at 11AM. I took these pictures at about 10:59AM. Rejeanne sure knows how to get out of speech time!


Sleeping toddlers still look like babies :) It's sooo cute :)

Kinda in Shock Still!

So, when I applied for the U.Discover program and received an invite to interview, my first thought was "wow, I guess they didn't have many applicants". My faculty sponsor (also my Immigration professor) announced to our class that I received a spot in the U.Discover program. After class, a girl from my Child Welfare class last semester came up to me smiling and said "You know you beat out the very best of the Honors program to get that, don't you?" Hah! No, I sure didn't. Apparently, while I've been living under a rock, the U.Discover program is one of the most competitive undergrad programs on campus and is the sought-after feather in the hat of every Honors student at USD. Holy Hannah! The girl that talked to me about it said she got a spot two years ago and it has swung open many, many doors for her. *swoon*

I knew if I got an interview, I could hustle a spot but I really had NO CLUE that this was so competitive. No wonder the committee was cracking up when I answered the "how did you hear about this program?" with "I literally tripped over your sign in Old Main four days before the deadline and figured 'why not?' " Luckily for me, the committee chair had actually tripped on that same sign apparently so I didn't seem quite as klutzy as we all know that I am!

So, yeah, apparently I'm a better hustler than I thought! I guess I'll just have to work extra hard for all the underdogs who apply after me :) I'm seriously shocked that I beat out a bunch of Honors students! Just the regular students here are pretty competitive with a strong work ethic. The Honors students are serious business!
