The last few weeks

Well it is 2:30 in the morning and I am at work with nothing to do, so I thought I would try to do some catch up on here. So if this sounds funny, it is because I am soooo tired.
I started working a few weeks ago, I work in the pediatrics unit. I love it. I love the little people so much better than the big ones, sorry ya'all. They are so sweet and innocent. yes it is so hard to see them sick, but they need someone to care for them and love them, and i get to do that. It is so gratifying being able to help these little people. They are always willing to give a big smile and are for the most part happy. The hardest part is the poor parents, they are so worried and I don't blame them, I would be be and have been. So I feel blessed to have a job that is fun yet gratifying as well.
The girls have enjoyed having me gone. I am an on call worker, but had been covering for a lady on maternity leave. I was suppose to work four ten hour shifts a week. Nights. But luckily I got called off allot. So anyway the girls have been spending time with my Mom and Aunt Jana and have been loving it. Jana and Mom are great with keeping them entertained and doing fun little things with them.
I am so glad though that the maternity leave lady is back and that I only have to work one day a week. I have had to slack on some of my home duties and Brett has been so great at helping out at home with the kids and dinners.
Brett has been putting in so many hours at work. He is suppose to be working four tens also and has actually been putting in usually twelves. There are three providers at his clinic and one of them has been out sick alllllllot. SO he has all his schedules patients and then also all the walk in patients(from the walk in clinic) as well. Busy days with usually about 20 patients each day. He is sure missing White Sulphur now. They would never see that many, but he will really be bringing in some extra flow.
Anywho, Kaylie was baptised on the 2nd. It was such a wonderful, spiritual and emotional day. She was so pretty in white and so very excited. My Mom spoke on baptism and then she was baptised by Brett. She was so happy when she got out, with a huge smile on her face. Then her Aunt Marjie sang her a beautiful song and said some really sweet things to Kaylie and told her how much she loved her. Then Brett's mom spoke on the Holy Ghost. She and I had a really hard time holding the tears in. Brett then gave her the Holy Ghost and it was awesome. He had a hard time not crying as well and he gave her a wonderful blessing. I want to thank all of you who came, and all of you who have played important parts in her life. She is a happy, fun, sweet, smart and silly little girl. She has learned so much from so many people and I am grateful to you all for all your love, support and knowledge that you have shared with her as well as my other girls and me.

The Wreck
















So this is
what we came home to after camping this weekend. Drunk driver swirving all over the road chose our vehicles to hit. The truck hit the boat and the boat hit the neighbors truck. He was an illegal immigrant who probably has no insurance. We wont find out for a week, but I can pretty much guarantee that he doesm't, he just gets a slap and the wrist and a free ride back to Mexico. And we get some wrecked vehicles that we get to pay for. What a justice system huh?

quick update

I spent the last weekend in my home town, Prineville. I attended my 10 year class reunion. I surprised that most of them didn't change much. Those partiers all got drunck and acted totally stupid, but it was kinda funny to see. I got to see some really good friends of mine and I had a great time. There was even some people that I was really surprised to see. I took my girls by the houes that I grew up in, and the new owners have totally trashed, so sad. I got to see my grandma also which was great.
This morning I got a job in the pediatric unit at the hospital. I will work an on call position and will also be trained to work in the OB if they ever need any help over there. I think that i will really love this job. The only thing that stinks is that I will be covering for one of there aids that is going on maternity leave, so it will be full time for about 6 weeks. I am only doing it to get my foot in the door. Thanks to all my family who is being so supportive and helpful with my girls.

THe Ludlum House

We had originally rented this house when we were living in Montana, in December. So Brett had the time off then. But when we moved back to Oregon and Brett got his new job he couldn't;t take the time off. SO Poor Brett dropped us off on Sunday and went back home to work till the next weekend when he got to come up. My parents, Jana, Heidi, Nate and Brenden were all able to come up and spend time during the week, and then on the weekend Brett's parents came up also. This house is out in the woods in Brookings Oregon. It sits on about an acre of grass surrounding it and a river right behind it. It was so beautiful there. We had a great time and loved the peace and quiet.









We enjoyed the hikes in the redwoods that we all took.















This is some pictures of the house. There was no running water and just a hand pump. There was a vaulted toilet that was kept nice and clean. Thank goodness.


















This is my Dad spoiling me, giving me more light so that I could read. That is one of my favorite things to do when I camp. I got threw two of my twilight series books while there.
My Dad (the best dutch oven cooker ever) made us lots of good food. So did Heidi and Nate, we split up the days for cooking. When my family left for Nick's wedding that we had to miss. Brett and his parents came up. My Dad left his dutch oven for me to use, I made ribs and peach cobbler and I did a great job, even ask my father in law, he said that I did an awesome job. I was impressed with myself but wished I could have shown my Dad how well I did.
Thanks for all that came up and shared the fun times with us. And Keri we really missed you, the boys would have had so much fun, next year you have to come. This will be an annual things for us (when possible).
