Mirror Mirror on the Wall

Luke has found a new best friend, himself. Who better to entertain him then a cute smiling face who laughs and giggles just like he does. I thought it was a one time ordeal, but now I put him in front of a mirror if I need to complete another task in the house. I recently added a mirror toy to his play mat and he was immediately drawn to shiny smiling face.

Brown...

Well I have spent my whole life trying to be just like my sister Kayla. I think we can just add this one to the list.

Rebecca and Cameron

I love this couple! Rebecca is Eric's cousin. Becca grew up in Yuma near Eric, in fact their photo books of their childhood are practically identical because they were in every picture together. I became friends with Becca when we did fair years ago and continued to be friends through girls camp and many stake activities. Becca asked Eric if he would go with me on our first date when we were sophomores.
I just love weddings and March 5 was a happy day for many couples at the Mesa Temple. But the most gorgeous bride goes to Mrs. Peterson. Here are a few pictures. Eric's mom, sister Jessica, his brother David and his wife came to Mesa for the wedding.

 Curtis Family

 Auntie Leo

It was so much fun hanging out with Uncle Mark and his family and the happy couple the night before the wedding. We stayed up to 1 in the morning playing cards and other games. 

Here is Luke and Christian's first wrestling match after the wedding. Luke was getting a diaper change so that is why he doesn't have any clothes on. He is catching up to Christian is weight, but Christian still has him in skill.

 

Being Mr. Mom

I went back to work two weeks ago, hence no new post since I have resumed the working life. My days off are far to lazy to do anything but recover from work. However, I don't think my family will survive if I continue that current attitude. I don't know how mom's do it. The first day was hard to leave my sweet babes at home. I was so excited to come home to see my happy baby. It was Luke's cranky just before bed state, so I was not greeted by that crazy smiling boy I know. The next morning he gave me many more smiles to make up for it. My co-workers would ask if I was worried about my baby and husband at home. I expressed complete confidence in my husband, being the youngest of ten you better believe this uncle did his share of babysitting. Eric is great with Luke!
After 12 glorious weeks of not working my nursing skills were feeling a tad rusty. But after 5 shifts I think I am back in the game. The second day I hung a unit of blood, received a transfer from the PICU, took care of a kid with an epidural, got a kid back from surgery, and managed to get out on time. This nursing business is making my really crunch down on my time management. If only I can apply that to the laundry, dishes, cleaning, and cooking chores. 

Here Eric and Luke are enjoying their favorite activity, sleeping.
