Playing, Playing, Playing and BOARDS

So you must be proud because this is the second post within 10 days. And if all works well, there will be pictures! For the past couple of weeks, we had our friends, the Thoreson's, come play with us. I work with their mom and they both go to daycare with my boys. Their mom had to work through June so I watch the boys two days each week. We had a lot of fun, but it was definitely a handful. I had 4 kids, (3, 2 1/2, 1, and 11 months) each day and now I am grateful that babies can't be born that close together.
Tracen and his good buddie Jake
On Thursday we decided to go down and watch the Cattle drive, getting ready for the RENO RODEO.  It was so funny to be there, but the kids loved seeing the horses, donkeys and cows.  I think that it is the most "kid friendly" part of the rodeo.
Here are the kiddos...Tracen, Ally, Logan and Zack
Thursday we also ventured to the fountains in front of the Sparks Movie Theater.  Ally and Zack loved it and Tracen and Logan had a rough time, but it was still worth the trip.  3 of the 4 trouble makers at the water park...the picture with Zack didn't turn out the best, but he was there having a TON of FUN too!

Also this week, Logie Bear had his first popcicle and he LOVED it...he did a good job too...he kept his hand in the right spot the entire time.  By the end his face was a lovely green!

BOARDS!!!!  So today was the day that we have been waiting for...the dreaded BOARD EXAM and Chris is now DONE!!!  He won't get his scores until mid July, but I am so thankful that the test has arrived.  This is a huge stepping block in his medical education because he must score in a certain range in order to be considered for a Residency Program in Orthopedic Surgery.  I hope that he did well, and I know that he did!  

Now we are off for a fun FATHER's DAY WEEKEND and then our little family is going to Monterey for a few days before 3rd year and rotations begin!  Oh and the boys and I got Chris the most fun present...that he already got because it arrived early.  It is the Spinmaster Air Hog Battling Havoc R/C Helicopters and he LOVES them.  Good job us!   Every now and then I get him things that I think he will love and he doesn't and sometimes I hit a home run!  This is one of those occasions!  Now I just need him to not play with them so much!

Looks like you guys are having such a fun summer. Thanks so much for Chris's help...I thought it'd take all week and that we'd never have a break before 3rd year. Really thank you so much! And have fun in Monterrey! How fun is that!?!?

I missed your posts but glad you are doing well! I hope chris does well on his test. That stinks that you have to wait soooo long. I think Caleb might tie for the stubborn child award in the potty training department! Every one says "just wait til he's ready," but I'm afraid that won't be until he's twelve at the rate he's going. He actually was doing really well last week and now has a bum hand and won't go.... It'll happen someday:)
Well I miss ya girly! I might come up on July. We'll have to do a ladies night or something!
