Landon:
Is really enjoying his current rotation's schedule. It only adds up to be about 20 hours a week of clinic which is SO great. His rotation is called "Care for the Undeserved" and he works with Dr. Sevilla in a family medicine clinic primarily with Spanish speaking patients. On top of the clinic hours he is heading up a project for the Dr. in a clinic in Hondorus. It is a really cool project. He also has about 20 hours of research he has to log every week to in order to present his project on August 7th. Lastly he has his second boards coming up on July 29th. Probably the second most important test in Med School. SOOOoo all the extra "free" time is spent studying for that. Its a lot, but I gotta say its still been WAY better than the first three years of Med School. Fourth year is shaping up to be the best by a LAND SLIDE :).
Other than school, he is going out with the Missionaries every Tuesday. He is the Ward Mission Leader and with the Temple Open House starting this Saturday he has a lot of things he needs to do. But he is loving being involved with it.
With all of this on his plate it doesn't make sense to me how he still manages to help me so much. But he still does. I really am so lucky.
Becca:
I'm still trying to figure out being a mom of two. I have good moments and hard moments. But overall i'm just so in love with my life right now. Suuuurrreeee the bathroom hasn't been cleaned for 3 weeks and suuuurrrreee we have no clean clothes (though our Dryer doesn't work when it rains, and it rains every day so that hasn't helped...), and suuurrreee I still haven't slept more than 6 hours at a time, but I just really love my world and its hard sometimes, but its mine and I love it. So so so much.
I've been doing Insanity in the morning before the boys wake up with Landon. Exercising is a need for me. I hate it and love it at the same time. I have LOVED having my own car, it really has changed my world. I didn't realize how hard it was not having a car until I had one. Overall I just see so many blessings in my life.
Jaxson:
Oh JAX! He finished his first week of swim lessons. He LOVED it and is getting so much more comfortable in the water. Today even, he was so excited to show us that he could touch his nose to the bottom of the filled bathtub, but he went so fast he slammed his head at the bottom. HAhaha, i'm laughing just thinking about it. He has one more week of swim lessons and then its onto Soccer Camp.
Speaking of slamming things. Well not really, but jax fell at the park on his back and bit into his tongue so incredibly hard. It. Was. Bad. and Bloody. and deep. He was SCREAMING and I was crying and Ty was screaming and we were all by ourselves. It was a tiny bit overwhelming. Thank you Schroering Family for being my first line of defense. And thank you Landon for choosing to study at home that day. I learned I could never be a doctor or a dentist. The blood and the hole in his tongue just terrified me. Jax was a trooper and it healed so quickly. (Warning if you get queazy, don't look at the pics below) .
Tyler:
We love him. He is a tiny bit hard. I hate saying that, but its true. He gets better every day though. Two steps forward, one step back I feel. He does takes a lot of attention and he can only fall asleep on me. But I kind of love that. He sleeps really well at night. Really well. He takes 3-4 naps a day. He is growing so so sooo much. He smiles WAYYY more than Jax ever did at this age. The way his clock works right now is he sleeps, wakes up, feeds for about 25 minutes, then is happy and incredibly smiley for 5-20 minutes. Thheennn... he slowly starts getting fussy to the point of screaming until we get him back to sleep. It is definitely worse in the evening. I've found that if Jax and I can just have simple agendas in the day and we can focus on helping Ty then he is really just fine and manageable and extremely enjoyable. I'm grateful for the slow days and will cherish, cherish them forever!!!!
Here is to looking forward to more simple days :)!
P.S. My cute dad bought me a Pit Barrel. We were so excited to use it Saturday. Landon was a giddy little boy. The ribs we made were AMAZING!!! Seriously. The second best ribs we have ever had. (St. Louis' Ribs were just so so good). Thanks dad for such a fun gift. It was such a welcomed surprise. My dads the best guys. And I love him so much.
P.P.S. A kitty ran into our house this week. Then our car, while loading Ty into in. Then I kicked him 12 times. Then our house again. Soooo I caught him for maintenance. I don't like Cats. Don't judge me.
