Stuffed Burgers

Yeah so this happened yesterday.



His and Her Burgers lol. Stuffed Burgers! (Mine was used with Pao di Quiejo, Brazilian Cheesy Bread) 



Juno had to monitor everything ;)

She kept trying to climb up on the counter we were using, so we gave her a chair to watch Austin who was at the grill outside. (Her buddy)


She also got a new collar the other day when we were in Cheyenne. Everybody got new clothes on my birthday! Austin's wearing the Van Heussen he found at Ross. I also don't know why I never got a black maxi skirt before. Best. Summer wear. Ever. 

(Excuse the silly vignette, clothes were hanging up on the door haha.)


Today we're having Austin's good friend over, and of course that means some fancy cooking. Errands galore have filled our day because we don't really cook that much during a full work week. (Sadly.) Juno's kind of confused at the commotion. I think she thinks it's all for her....

We visited the University of Wyoming because I have another watercolour commission and needed paper from their art section. But they were closed for inventory. And we already stuck coins in the parking meter... lame! So we hung out in the Wyoming Union for a bit sipping on some cold drinks. 

It's weird because I feel like we just moved here just because. I forget we are still students and came here for school! We got a house and jobs that support us, so it's been strange to think "oh yeah, I'm a student!" Albeit we want better jobs and to do what we love, but can I say we're happy even now?

Austin cannot wait to start, and neither can I! 



Go Pokes! xoxo

Call Me a SAHM in Training

Stay at Home Mom (SAHM)  Besides a medical leave and two maternity leaves, I’ve always been a full-time plus on call nurse mom. I am now almost two months into being a SAHM and I would have to still say I’m training! A lot of you have told me routine is so important, and I’ve been trying my darndest to do that. We do library time or errands in the morning, naptime and quiet time after lunch, and art and outdoor/indoor active  play until dad comes home! Some days it blows up in my face, much like what we’d call a s-tshow at work, haha! Except these are my monkeys and my circus! But mostly because I am learning and loving it, too. I struggle with anxiety and depression. Ever since I was little. My post-partum depression with R was so difficult. I am so lucky to have an incredible husband and health team that honestly kept me alive during that time. Luckily, I was treated prior to giving birth to A too because a) it was known I get PPD and b) it’s better and easier to tr...

The Last Stretch

I am on the last little stretch before the surgery! It's amazing how in denial I can still be, thinking that I do not have anything wrong. But then you get a wake up call when your body does funky things you can't stop, and then you fall down the stairs twice. Once I popped my shoulder, and the second I popped a hip and broke my back molar coming down on my side. So I got that tooth fixed ASAP, thank the heavens it didn't damage any roots! At the dentist my mouth was opened for an extended period of time, and needles were involved. Just when you think you have this whole Dystonia thing under control.... another reminder! I got lock jaw while working as a floor nurse! My jaw had increasing pain through the week, and I revisited the dentist. Nothing wrong with my tooth. At work, it sealed shut (and not to be gross) but when you have an intense cramp like that, it causes immense pain. I do in fact throw up sometimes from the pain. Well if your mouth seals... and tons...

Second Time Around

We got a White Christmas!  It continued to snow and the boys had enough to play in after these photos were taken. They were able to build a snow man with Austin, too! Austin was able to take a full week and a half off, so our holiday time was amazing.  ^This last photo was actually Christmas Eve as my side of the family celebrates the traditional German way. Austin and I have managed to compromise so that Christmas Eve is a big celebration, nativity-reading, music listening-- and we open non-Santa gifts. Now, in the morning, Santa comes with stockings and their gift. Stockings were pretty amazing when I was a kid! It was a big deal too! Austin's family had very specific things in their stockings that were traditional with Santa like a huge orange, apple, a bag of nuts, etc. that we keep alive, too.  We successfully mixed our holiday foods as well. The Carmen family does scones, breakfast casserole, and other fun holiday dishes, and my family did a soup every Christmas Eve...
