where to start!!!

A few weeks ago I started Dental Hygiene school. FINALLY! I’m loving i so far. But, it is a lot of work! Especially trying to balance school work and family life. But so far, it is working out pretty well. I have made some amazing friends in my class. Which makes it even more enjoyable :) I am definitely becoming a lot more self conscious about my teeth though :) I am proud to say that I will be getting rid of all my silver fillings very soon!
My schedule is pretty nice. I am home everyday (except friday) until about 12 which is nice. So i still get plenty of maddix time :) Monday and Wednesday’s I have class until about 4 then clinic from 5-9. So those are definitely long days!! I am so grateful for all my amazing family who is helping out with maddix. I couldn't do it without them that’s for sure!

Great first day of school pic huh?

my awesome group “The Pearly Whites”

opening our instruments! love these girls.

i sure miss this little guy while I'm at school, but at least i know he’s in good hands!

my friend had the brilliant idea of taking a picture with maddix on the first week of school and on the week that i graduate to see how different we both look (I'm sure i will have gray hairs and he will be a big handsome 3 1/2 year old)

do you like maddix’s cool backpack i made him? all you need is a ritz cracker box, tin foil, and duct tape! oh the things you do to as a stay at home mom :) i love it. he loves wearing his big boy backpack to be like mommy!

maddix has recently become obsessed with our vacuum. we finally got a new one, he loves it! every morning when i get him out of his crib, the first thing he does is points to the closet where the vacuum is! So we vacuum first thing in the morning, before he eats breakfast, before he gets a diaper change, you name it.

this past weekend brig and his dad drained and power washed our pool. the sand filter needed to be changed so it was disgustingly green! as you can see behind brig. they were outside for about  hours cleaning the pool. you guys are my heroes!

TA DA!

so clean! can’t wait to go swimming tomorrow in our clean pool! not to mention the water will be nice and cool :)

maddix wanted to be outside the whole time they were working on the pool.

i love my handsome little guy

p.s. this is not how i dress my son. he did this all by himself. he’s such a little gangster! he is always putting on brigs hats and shoes.

he’s already getting to cool for pictures with mommy
