White Coat Ceremony
Today was Shane's special Physician Assitant White Coat Ceremony, where each student was "cloaked with their white coat". It was rather unique and very fulfilling. Most medical programs do this at graduation only, but this school does it at the beginning to help the students learn professionalism, responsibility, and motivation during thier coursework, shadowing, and rotations. It was neat, and Shane looked very handsome in his white coat! Good work Shane...we are proud of you!!
This program was held at the Bally’s casino and hotel’s grand ballroom (which reeked of smoke, but was nice). So, Brinly was exposed to a casino for the first time—she thought they were great looking computer games. We had to have a little talk about that this evening…not sure how effective that was…but better than not. I was a little disappointed in my photography skills…my pictures are not very good.

How to make dinner with two kids:
Yes, here it is. This is how I make any meal
when the kids are awake:) Cade really enjoys the sink and Brinly usually in standing on a stool, but nonetheless...our goal of dinner is accomplished without too many mishaps.

Cooling off:)
Well, life is good. We've had a week of unique events. Shane had school off weds. through friday, so we had some time to do some fun things. We went to the M. Ethel Chocoate Factory here in Henderson. It was fun to taste a free chocolate...the tour itself was kinda lame, but interesting. We also watched a movie on the green at the Henderson District, where they had free popcorn and candy---to Brinly and Shane's delight! It was nice. They showed Narnia...a good one.
Cade is on the verge of crawling. He gets up on all fours, and can move his arms and legs, but not together. He has yet to get that coordination under control. It's pretty cute though to see him try so hard to get something out of reach. He tries SO hard! He is determined, but he just isn't quite physically able to yet. He also is starting to gab, moreso when he is eating than any other time (like it is just so satisfying to have food in his mouth, that he has to express it verbally....pretty cute). And he is doing the "raspberries" ALL the time...drooling like crazy. Cute though.
Brinly went to the first day of her pre-preschool class on Friday. SHe thoroughly loved. In fact, when I dropped her off, she didn't even look back or say good bye!:) She just soaks in every minute. It's only once a week, but that's all we can do for now. We've been having a few potty accidents this week, not sure what the deal is. I think she just gets too busy and then has to go so bad, she can't hold it. Darn.
Anyway, doing well. It's finally starting to cool off just enough to make things barable at night. It is actually ok to go out for a walk in the evening. During the days it is only in the low 100's vs. 116. We've heard that this is the hottest and longest summer(lingering temps) Las Vegas has had ...we made it just in time! Lucky us.

Four Years and still runnin'!
Today was our 4th wedding anniversary! Yep, we are American made and still running strong:) Thanks to all those contributing to our success.
Las Vegas, here we are...
Las Vegas, with it's incredible heat, is becoming a home. We are enjoying our new home full of fans, though it is lacking greenery inside and out. We miss the green!
This week Brinly stopped asking me when we were going home. She is beginning to realize, this is our new home. She has asked when can we go play with Matilida or when can we go swimming with Matilida...but other than that she is adjusting well.
Cade is rolling over and becoming a little cranky with his aggravating teeth. The bottom right one has broken through, while the left one is still making it's way. Poor guy. But he is still a smiley little guy!
As for Shane, he is into his program neck deep. It is going well. First exam is Friday! He's nervous to say the least.
We miss Harrisonburg!
