Birthday and Graduation!

BINKI MAN!

Logan thinks he is hot stuff :) Funny dude! He is the funnest kid ever :)

TRACEN TURNS 5!

May 5, 2011

I can't believe my little 5 pounder is 5! Time truly does fly once you have kids! So funny story: Tracen got a good amount of cash for his birthday...we walked into RC Willey for a tent sale they were having and he saw a bounce house with a Basektball Hoop! I swear this kid dreams, thinks and if he could, eats, basketball! Its all we ever hear about. Anyway...the bounce house was $50 (truly a steal) and that is what he wanted...so the Karrasch's are now proud owners of a bounce house and it is definitely the favorite toy!

Logan, Sara, Chris and Tracen @ Tracen't bday party!

He couldn't have just one cake...no he had to have 2!

And he was so excited!

Our amazing basketball cakes :)

On Tracen's actual birthday we took him to Yogurt Beach and it was Delicious!

MEDICAL SCHOOL GRADUATION!
May 13, 2011

Chris Graduated! I can't believe that these 4 years are over! It is so exciting that he is done and I am so excited for our next adventures in Hershey! We also closed on our house on the 13th! CRAZY! I own a home about 3000 miles away from where I am now!

Ready to graduate! Chris asked me to Hood him...it was really neat so I got to wear a robe too...but don't worry you won't get to see any of those pictures!

DRS! The study Group (Chris, Stewart, Chad and Mike)

We are so proud of DADDY!

Chad, Amanda, Sara and Chris

Los Padres and US!

Chris' Mom and Grandparents were able to come out for the hooding ceremony. It really meant a lot that they were able to come. Thanks!

PARTY, PIZZA & PING PONG
The After Party

We convinced the guys to have a party for graduation but the only stipulations were that there had to be ping pong and pizza....so we gave it to them :)

Our friends, Kelly and Aaron Schnaible

Mary and US

Gigi and Papa!

Maree gave Chris this really cool statue of a DR.

And the boys gave him this poem called, My Daddy (that stands for M.D. :)

And can you guess who won the tourney? Chris...what a stud!

The Sydenham ladies (and a sleeping Tyson)

The Sibs! (Amanda, Sara, Jason, Stacey)

Study Buddies! We are going to miss med school but are certainly glad it is over :)

April Highlights 2011

This is a little backwards...but so it goes :)

Here is a cute pic of the boys that we sent to old man Kenton who turned "really old" in April :) Happy Birthday Kent!

The Easter bunny was good to us and we had a great day going to church, decorating eggs and spending time with friends and family. The boys even got some snazzy outfits!

Handsome DUDES!

The loot...pirate shields, candy a movie each and kites! FUN!

Ahh! Brotherly love!

This is Logan's work...he loves to take pictures and so we let him take one of us...not the most flattering, but hey! If you ever wanted to know what we look like unshowered and SEXY...here you go!

One of my favorite things to do with Tracen is to bake and we have been doing A LOT of baking! Here we are at our finest!

LOGIE TURNED 3
April 5, 2011

This is backwards too...but ohwell! We actually had 2 b-day parties for Logan. One was pirates and the other was soccer. Logan loved both of his cakes. I can't believe my little man is already 3!

Logan and Mommy getting ready to open presents at Grandma Debbie's house!

Logan and Ethan

Our SWEET pirate cake!

On Logan's actual birthday we had a soccer ball cupcake cake...not my best work, but he liked it!

BIRTHDAY BOY!!!

We spent the whole day doing fun things....we took the boys to Pump It Up and had a blast! Here they were going down the slide tandem style! and they LOVED IT!

Happy Birthday Bubba Bear!

Where Has the Time Gone: March 2011

March was our busiest Month yet! And everything happened within about a 2 week span! First, but definitely not least was....

MATCH DAY!!! It was on March 17th @ 9am. This is the day that we found out where we were going to be headed for the next 5 years....it was a little bit nerve-wrecking, but exciting!

Here is Chris with Leprechaun Orthopedic

Los Tres Amigos (Stew, Chad and Chris)

Sad day...my sister and her husband will be about 16 hours away from us in Rochester, MN. They have been our best friends through medical school and we will sure miss them :(

Here is the lucky shamrock that held our destination....and it is...(in case you didn't know)

Penn State Medical Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania

The next big event was my Faculty Musical at School...this year, my friend, Kelly and I wrote a play called "Put on Your Kicks, Prom '86." All about a high school getting ready for prom in the 80's...it included tons of fun music from Mama Mia, Wicked, Oklahoma, Annie and Jersey Boys!

Here is me and Merla (or Kelly) My name in the show was Brittany Snoodee (I was such a brat) and Kelly was Merla Omanerd...a new girl at school and I was NOT nice to her.

Here we are in our Prom get ups! The dress I am wearing is one my mom made for my sister when she was in high school....crazy!

Me and Marissa

Me and my two favorite nerds :)

Merla and the nerds...they were so silly!

The cast...over 30 teachers and staff participated this year...it was so much fun! We were all grouped into a specific clique...the Jocks/Preps, Cheerleaders, Hicks, Nerds, BFFs and Teachers! There was even a little teacher romance involved...

And here we are ready for Prom...hideous...a bit, but lots of fun memories :) With this even nearly 1500 people came to support and we raised $25,000 dollars. It was amazing! I am really going to miss this part of my job. Who knows, maybe I can find some community theater to join back east?

The week after the play, Chris flew out to Hershey and bought us this house! I love, love, love it! We close on May 13th and Chris leave the 23rd of May to move us in.

And that is March in a nutshell!

Where Has the Time Gone: February 2011

February highlights: We watched A LOT of high school basketball! Then we celebrated valentine's day with an Ice Cream cake from Dairy Queen...my absolute Favorite :)
