Overdue Update

Can you believe that this guy graduated? And passed his test and is now a licensed Physician Assistant?!?

I can hardly believe it myself. Seems like not too long a go we were just starting. Bryce is so happy to be done and ready to start working! 

So for a little update. Bryce got a job with a group of cardiothoracic surgeons in Phoenix! He is really excited about the job and also the location. We moved out of our third floor apartment last week and are living with my parents in Oklahoma until Bryce starts the beginning of October. Can't say I was sad at all to leave our apartment. Never having to walk up those stairs again carrying groceries or two boys sounds great! But we will miss all our friends in Wichita. It was a great two years and we are grateful for friendships we made and things we learned. And we are excited for new adventures ahead of us. Although I wish someone would just find us the perfect location and place to live in Phoenix. We are open to any advice from anyone who has ever been there - because I have never been to Arizona in my life! 

Our other big news is that we will be having a new baby the end of January! We are so excited. Even the boys (for now) are really excited about the new baby. They will both be great helpers, although I am sure it will be a bit of an adjustment for everyone - especially Owen. :) We find out next week if it's a boy or a girl. And while I may be secretly hoping for a girl, we will be happy with another little boy too! 

Now for an update through pictures! 

Bryce graduated in May! His mom, dad, Grandpa, and sister Sharayne all came out for his graduation. We had a lot of fun and are so glad they made the long trip out!

Bryce had one last rotation to do after graduation, so he wasn't really done until July. And then he took his test August 10. So really we feel like he is just finally done with it all! And good news is he passed!!! So now we can really start planning our lives. 

 These two hooligans have kept me busy while Bryce was busy working and studying. They are such great little boys and I can't think of any better way to spend my time. 

 Except maybe the few times that they are yelling and fighting...

...and just being crazy. But those don't happen very often. ;) And I still love them then anyway. 

Spencer is my little helper. He always helped unload the dishwasher in the mornings. He has always been very good about helping around the house.  

We're still working on this kid. I'll cut him a little slack because he is only 2. But pretty soon he's going to have to start pulling his own weight! 

And just because I have to document it - this is our classic Owen face. He loves to grit his teeth together. He looks pretty mean and sometimes likes to attack you, but he really is a sweet little boy.
