HE PASSED!




Way to go Josh, we are all so proud of you.I am so grateful that you work so hard for our little family. Now only four more tri's, 'clin' entrance exams, three more board exams,and hundreds of tests until you are a doctor.

Cross your fingers

Cross your fingers......
and keep them crossed
We find out tomorrow if Josh passed his board exams.


Oh yeah, Josh passed tri 5 with flying colors. On to tri 6, I pray we all survive. I have heard it's a rough one.

Friends

I feel incredibly blessed to have such great friends here in Texas. I will be honest I was weary about moving here and leaving my family and friends behind. We have made such great friends while living here. I am sure that some of them will be our friends our entire lives. Over Easter weekend we had an Easter egg hunt and afterward snapped a few pictures of all of our kids. (The number has grown dramatically over the last six months.) I took as many pictures of all of them as I could hoping for a few good ones and this is what I have.

Easter

We had a wonderful Easter Sunday, Taytum loved that the Easter Bunny brought her a new dress. She looked so adorable as you can see. Josh got a new tie and I got a new skirt. Taking your own family pictures can be tricky but I think it came out cute. Oh I love my little family.

Happy Easter!

Our family wanted to wish all of our family and friends a very Happy Easter. May your thoughts be turned toward our Savior and his wonderful Atonement this Easter Sunday. We hope and pray that everyone gets a chance to be with family and friends this holiday. Happy Easter from the VanBuskirk Family.

Taytum's Uncle Derrick and her Aunt 'LaLa' bought these for her.

Playin' in the Park

We took Taytum to her first visit to the park. It was a beautiful day and we took a nice walk down to Champion's Park. Taytum was not too sure about the swing and really didn't like the grass, but she LOVED sitting at the bottom of the slide all by herself. I think we will have to go back again.

Taytusaurus Rex

Umm, yeah. Just started messing w/ my iCam on my Macbook and Taytum though it was the coolest thing to see herself.

BUSTED!

Yesterday I laid Taytum down on her stomach on a blanket in the living room. I noticed several minutes later that it was too quiet. This is what I found. (Yes she has officially mastered the roll from stomach to back and can almost go from back to stomach.)

Perfectly Pedicured

So instead of doing one GIANT post to sum up the last few weeks of my exciting life I thought I would just do it a little bit at a time. When my sister was here one of her requests was that we painted Taytum's toenails. It was tricky to get her still enough but we did it.
