Leaves are Falling...


Hi everyone! I took these pix the other day of the kids playing in the leaves, they are so cute. (I even got a smile out of Tay!) This time of the year we all reflect on our blessing and I just wanted to take a minute to stop and ponder my blessings. Things have been so crazy with moving and school. I also started working at the Instacare and spent last weekend in the hospital while they ran tests. I found out that I need my gallbladder out but I opted to try and wait a few more weeks til I am done with school. My children have been so awesome and supportive with their mother's insane schedule. They always have their chores done and a hug and smile for me. They have adjusted to school the best really well. We have been reading the Harry Potter series every night just to relax and regroup. I am blessed that my children have a love of reading. I also have to recognize my husband and all that he does, he takes care of me like I could have never imagined. He cleans, cooks, plays with the kids and gives me the best back rubs. This last week I had to give an oral report to my class about MS. It was a very touching topic to research and present. My sister and grandmother came and spoke. It made me realize how much I love my family and am so very grateful for them. Tay and I have also put in Kinship papers to have my brothers boys. They are 1 and 3 and are in a hard situation. We pray for them everyday and hope that wherever they end up that they are happy and healthy. I am also so grateful for my friends. I have been fortunate to have the most wonderful friends that I know I could call or stop by for anything. I was so happy to be able to get in contact my one of my best friends that I haven't talked to for years. We grew up together and have shared so many emotions with each other. Unfortunately we had lost touch but in emailing her this last week we found out that we are both in the same field. Anyway I am rambling on and noticing that my grammer is getting bad so I better stop babbling but I am really, truely, grateful for all of you and am excited for this Holiday Season! See you soon, Jamie

Finally Settling!


Here are some pix of our new house! It has been so much work moving, going to school and I started a new job at the Instacare! Don't mind the mess in the pix, these were taken before we had everything organized. Tay is going to start painting here in the next month so eventually the walls will look different. We would love anyone to come and visit, we miss our friends in Logan. Thanks to everyone that helped us move. Keep in touch!

Survey Says...

Hi everyone!
I am doing a survey for our class project and would like to know if you wouldn't mind taking just a few seconds to answer some questions regarding Diabetes. I don't expect those that haven't had a text book shoved in their face for the last 9 months to be able to answer some of these questions, but if you could, answer what you can.

1. Name a complication from Diabetes.
2. Name a type of insulin.
3. Name a risk factor that can lead to Diabetes.
4. Name a sign or symptom of Diabetes.
5. Name a type of Diabetes.
6. Name an oral medication used to manage Diabetes.
7. Name a diagnostic test associated with Diabetes.
8. Name an injection site.
9. Name a kind of education used in Diabetes Management.
10. Name a type of Clinician that treats Diabetes.
11. In doing an assessment on a Diabetic, what is an area you would want to focus on?

Thanks,
*jAmiE*

3 Joys... My Family, Nursing, and Friends


3 Fears... Dead Animal Heads (don't ask!), Heights, Spiders


3 Goals... to get my Masters Degree, to be Productive, to be a Fabulous Wife & Mother.


3 Obsessions... Cleanliness, Cleanliness, Cleanliness (Tay helped me out with this one! He also states that the list is far too long to put on our blog) I tend to be slightly OCD! I love to organize, watch Project Runway and Top Chef, and have to have 9-10 hours of sleep at night to even function.


3 Random Facts... I love Dill Pickles, especially the giant ones that are packaged in singles with tonz of juice. I could eat the hole thing and drink the juice, no wonder my kidneys are full of stones. I have an RC drift car that I like to drive. My husband thinks my high school pix makes me look like I'm in a biker gang.

Family Update

I just thought I would post a quick update on what is going on in our house... Kam is counting down the days to the end of school and the end of his days at Bridger Elementary. He will be at the middle school this fall and wants to learn the saxaphone. (Fun for us!!!) I remember learning reed instruments for the first time and all the squeaking that comes along with it. He also is counting down the days to his birthday... which isn't until October - go figure! He is trying to market himself this summer to babysit so he can earn money for a 360 and also do yard/house work, so if anyone needs a handyman...Kam is the man! Alli is as sweet as ever and is also excited for the summer break. She plays soccer and is awesome. Her favorite position is Goalie and she rocks at it! She has that cute personality that can get her anything she wants, but when it comes to soccer - the switch gets flipped and she turns into a maniac. Tayson ... well he lives up to his birthday 6/6/6! If only I would have known I would have kept my legs shut for another 4 minutes (He was born at 11:56 pm). He is the busiest soul I have ever met. This means that my house is never clean! Which for those who know me best - DRIVES ME NUTS! He is so stinkin' cute though. He is at that age that we all just laugh at the sayings and words coming out of his mouth. He says: "HAWO" (hello) and puts his hand up, he is always asking "What ith it?", and states "That's it" when things don't quite go his way. Tay is still busy painting and has also picked up work at the Specialty Hospital painting at night. He works so hard to support me in school and is such a wonderful husband. I can't say it loud enough: "I LOVE HIM". I am still plugging away at school and have 3 finals this next week. Then I have to finish my clinicals until June 19th then finally summer break. Unfortunately it is only until the first of August then it will be back to the books. I am excited though because I will have my LPN in December and then plan to finish the next year with my RN. I hope all is well with everyone and hope to see you all soon...!

TEAM O.B.M.S.



We had the Multiple Sclerosis walk last Saturday. For those of you who don't know my Grandmother and Sister both have MS, so it has affected our family greatly. I wanted to find a way to help raise awareness and funds for research, so our family and friends entered the MS Walk. Our team name was Onion Bunnies (because we keep going and going, long after we smell ;) ) Our team raised almost $1,000 and walked with over 3000 people for 3 miles. This was a great opportunity for our family and we thank all those who contributed to this event. If anyone would like more info about MS check out the National MS Society website and check out local events through the State Chapter. I will be volunteering for the MS Bike ride in June and am collecting donations for the same cause. If anyone would like to contribute e-mail me and I'll send you the info. (It is tax deductable!!!)

MISSING JEEP FOUND




BOWLES- A purple 2005 Jeep Wrangler Power Wheel that was reported stolen earlier today was recovered after the thief crashed into a tree. The jeep was reported stolen at 6:00 PM today by Alli. The Bowles house received an anonymous tip that there was a sighting of the jeep in between the E and C buildings. Upon arriving at the scene there was a brief chase before the 22 month old, Tayson, was apprehended. Charges have been filed against Tayson and he is to remain inside behind locked doors.

Buffalo Wings





Anyone who knows Kam, knows that his favorite food is buffalo wings. We know in our family not to ask Kam where he wants to eat unless we want to go to Chili's. In one of his trips to my moms in SL, they found a place called "The Wing Coop". When Kam came home it was all he could talk about so we decided we needed to check it our for ourselves. This place has 15 different sauces that they dredge on either wings or strips and serve with veggies and dressing. Tay, Kam and I ordered the 2nd to the hottest wings called the "Black Diamond". Alli had the "Beginner" and my mom had the "Spicy Garlic". I do have to say that this place rocks. It was sooooooo good. They have a wing challenge there with their hottest sauce that is called "Eleven" because if you could eat 11 wings in 11 minutes in the 11 sauce with nothing to drink then you get to put your name on their board. I don't think any of us are quite ready to tackle the challenge, but I know Kam is well on his way to making this a goal!!

*Ready for Sun*



Tayson came out of Alli's room the other day with all of these on. It was so funny. He thought that he should share with Tay.
