Match Day

Match Day... It was a very long day. After finding out that we didn't match we then had to re evaluate things. I had a friend post a quote that was so perfect. "The only way God can show us he's in control, is to put us in situations we can't control." Later that night Jordan got a call from one of his top programs offering him their intern spot. After all the different emotions we are very happy to be going to Iowa City! The intern does the same thing as the first year resident so he will get lots of experience during the year. We will reapply to residencies at the end of the summer and interview in the fall again and see where we end up doing next summer.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROOKS!

Happy birthday Brooks! We started the day celebration with waffles and sprinkles. Brooks got to play on his new push car and he loves it!

After church we had some friends over for cupcakes and Brooks' smash cake. He walked around the room like he owned the place and loved every second.  Brooks didn't go as crazy with his smash cake as I thought he would but after getting his hands in it he did okay. 

Brooks' one year stats.

Weight: 20.5 lbs (49%)

Height: 30 in (54%)

HC: 18 (38%)

Where to begin with Brooks... I can not believe how fast and slow it's been ha ha. He Came out screaming and he kept screaming. But once he decided he was okay with being here he flipped a switch. He is so sweet and I wish I could slow time down now.  His energy level is just as high as Carson. They play so well together about 60% of the time until Carson gets annoyed by him or Brooks starts messing with his stuff. Their favorite things to do are walking around the couch a million times and piling up all the couch cushions to jump on them. We love his full of teeth grin! So glad we got to have him join our family a year ago!

Family in Town!

Grandma, Grandpa and Austin came into town to see us and celebrate Brooks' birthday. It is always so nice having visitors!! I love seeing the boys with family.

Jordan's parents were nice enough to put the kids to bed and let us go out for dinner.  It was so weird just sitting and not wrestling kids the whole time! After dinner we met up with Austin and went to a movie.

Brooks, FHE, and Hulk

Just a bunch of cutie Brooks pictures. 

Carson loves his little Avengers. He plays with them everyday all day. I love seeing him play pretend and listening to his conversations he has with them. 

FHE with these two is quite the night. Learning about the name of the church that Carson calls "the church of Jesus power of ladder day Santa."

I'm not sure what Carson was going for here but he turned to me and said, "this is my Campbell face." I think saying Carson is obsessed with Hulk is an understatement. He loves being Hulk, playing Hulk and everything Hulk.

MLK Annapolis trip

Since we all had MLK day off of school a bunch of us went up to Annapolis.

We took up a whole restaurant when we went to get lobster rolls. 

So many strollers!! People just stared at us everywhere we went.

Visiting the Navel academy.

We ended our day with the 6lb milkshake. Brooks was a big fan of it.  The day was long with the boys but we had so much fun.
