This last week I went to vegas to watch Mandi's three kids. They are the cutest little buggers!!! Tia was already in St. George when I got done with school so I picked her up and we headed down together. She was so adorable! On our way down she said "Kari, do you know whay my favorite song is?" I asked what and then she told me it was ALL THE SINGLE LADIES. I started lauging and she sang it for me. "All the single ladies, put your hands up!" She is the cutest little thing and has the happiest outlook on life. She is so positive and when she looks at you and smiles you want to melt. I think everytime she loooks at me she smiles. Even between her fits of throwing up (poor thing got sick) she still managed to smile and have a good little attitude. She is such a helper and makes everyday so fun! My most favorite thing is when she randomly looks at me and says in the cutest shy voice, "I love you!" ha. MELT MY HEART. I love you TIA~
Madi as you can see is quite the little character. She is one funny dude and I cant believe my little Madi is "all growded up!" :) It makes me so sad. OH that girl ..... Madi has her own will and she is going to do what she wants. Thats for sure. Most of the time Madi was mischevious and I hear her giggle after everything she does. Usually she is accompanied by a little brother and sister who wants to be involved. This can sometimes be interesting. jk. Madi is so cute and she definitely keeps you on your toes. I love you MADI~
Koda Bear is your tough little guy who loves to make noise and run around, but even he has his soft little moments. haha. We spent a lot of time watching movies this weekend due to the freezing cold weather. While Koda was down stairs we turned on Mamma Mia! He came running up, and yelled, "Yes, this is my favorite movie!" haha. I was .....???? it is??? haha. jk. He is all boy but I am so glad he has his soft spots. He is such a cutie and I love looking at him close up right in the eyes because he gets shy and has the most adorable little nose with freckles. I love you KODA bear~
Here is our attempt at cookies. Outcome: Yummy Goodness!

"Your outta here!" Literally!

Dusty and I have been playing softball with some of his friends out in Hurricane. It has been an interesting, as well as entertaining experience. The climax of our season happened two weeks ago when Dusty was kicked out of the game for commenting on the umpires VERY POOR CALL. Dusty got a little heated and the umpire seemed to take it extremely personal and without warning kicked him out of the game. Well of course this created a domino effect and after about thirty seconds our whole team was irate. Finally the umpire completely called the game. It was actually quite hilarious. We had a good time. To bad it all ended quickly ! haha

Anesthesia

Summer school with anesthesia was one interesting term! It was so scary to jump right in and give and injection, but like everything else, each time became more comfortable. At first I didn't know which was worse, giving the injection or being the patient. haha jk :) It was a great semester and I learned alot! It was actually a lot of fun!
My turn to be the test rat
Because there was so much to learn, our anesthesia days usually consisted of AT LEAST five injections! You can imagine we were pretty numb and miserable!!!
More crooked smiles
