Pass the Bar--law school is done FOREVER!

So---we are officially done with law school!!  Words can't describe the feeling when we found out he passed the bar!  I think Nick did a backflip.  We weren't expecting the results until next month and so when we got the letter in the mail it was kind of intense!  I walked into the house holding the letter and Nick was shaking as he opened it and the first thing that came out was the "Licensing Ceremony Information" paper.  Right then we realized he probably passed because they wouldn't put that in the letter if he didn't pass.  Well--he passed and he deserved it!  He worked so hard and really was so intense with his studying.  I am so proud of him and so glad he doesn't need to spend the next four months or EVER studying again!!!  WE are happy to have our Nick back! 

Now we are adjusting to life getting used to having him around at night.  I have to watch TV shows he wants to watch too now. :)

In March, we got to go to the Smoot's family vacation house in St. George.  It was so much fun and so crazy with all of the kiddos.  Georgia had fun with her friends though.  And Lucy liked getting lots of attention.

We got to have Rickie and Kallen stay with us for my cousin Heidi's wedding festivities. 


Cute Henry and Georgia entertaining themselves on these yoga blocks.
At Lucy's 6 month appointment.  She is a cutie and crawling around and babbling words.  She said her first word..."Dada" but I do have to say that "momma" was said the very next day.  She does this cute little nose wrinkle and laughs whenever you take her binky out.
Oh Potty Training--this has been the hardest parenting milestone of all---which is why we are in pull ups still.  She wasn't ready and all this potty training in a day---it didn't work for her.  We did it all too.  She would go half of the time in the potty and half on our new carpet.  So we moved the training outside to save the carpet.  I'm sure our neighbors think we are super ghetto. 

We got to see Marci and her cute family when we were down in St. George.  It made me wish we lived closer again! 





At the cabin I looked downstairs and all the kids were surrounding Nick as he read a book.  Kids are drawn to him it makes me laugh.





Georgia was the star of the play at the treehouse musuem.  In her squeeky shoes too.
Even though it has been a challenge having them be so close in age, I am so glad they are so close in age because they are such good friends.  Honestly, now when they are both awake--life is so much easier because they feed off of each other and entertain each other.  Lucy thinks Georgia is hilarious and visa versa.  Georgia likes to tell Lucy stories and she asks Lucy questions.  She answers for Lucy in a really high pitched voice that makes me laugh and then we all laugh. :)
