Sushi and Balloons

A couple of weeks ago Ryan had a member come into the golf shop and hand out some gift certificates to his new restaurant. It is called Sakura. It is one of the newest Hibachi grills/sushi bars in our area. We had been there once and it was fantastic. This time however, we would get to eat for free and we could take Nick. We warned Nick about the fire and overall thought he would probably enjoy the experience. He liked everything until the "fire". That kind of scared him. We had a great time, but will probably not sit at the hibachi next time we take Nick. When we got home Nick and Ryan started playing with balloons. Nick is obsessed! He has been ever since I can remember. I can't even begin to tell you about the laughter we heard for the rest of the night over a $3 package of balloons!



Ready for the "fire".


Testing out the chopsticks.


Being brave once the fire was out!

Ready for some balloon action.

Does this shirt make me look big?

I-L-L........I-N-I

Tomorrow, Ryan and I are traveling to Campaign to watch the Fighting Illini beat up on Penn State. I love Illinois basketball!!!!! I haven't been able to go to any games this year though because of my school schedule. I have clinicals early Thursday morning, but hey, who needs sleep right. Thankfully it is a 6 pm game so we should be home around 11:30 or so. I'll be in the delivery room for all twelve hours of my clinical on Thursday, so that should help to keep me awake! GO ILLINI!!!!!

Nick and his potty

I think it is official that Nick is finally potty trained. He is not longer pooping on the floor. He tells us now every time he has to potty. I am very impressed. He even has dry pull-ups when he wakes up in the morning. Is it time to try under ware at night time?

My favorite Valentine....











Better late than never

Happy Valentines day to all of you "lovers" out there. I wanted to post this on Saturday, but have been way to busy. Hope you all had a wonderful day filled with love and chocolate!

busy, busy, busy


Lets just say I have been more than a little busy the last couple of weeks. I have had two tests in a row and have spent the majority of my waking hours studying. I am in an OB class right now and it is really interesting. I love my teacher. He is also my clinical instructor. The past couple of weeks I have been on postpartum. Although I thought it would be very boring, it is anything but. Next week I get to help out in Labor and Delivery. I can't wait. It should be very exciting. My house is a mess, we eat out all the time because I don't have time to cook, and my husband thinks I am neglecting him. My instructors warned me of this on my very first day. Oh well the reward at the end will be well worth it....wonder what it will be like when I continue for my masters?
