1 Year Down!

Well 1 year down .... a lot to go... but we'll focus on the 1 year down! Last Friday was Chris' last final for his first year of medical school! Here he is afterwards at our celebratory lunch! He's a little happy! :) Don't look too close though... you'll see bags under his eyes because he was soooo exhausted!


This summer he will be doing a paid research project, (what exactly?... um... he's explained to me many times... and I still don't get it so you'd have to ask him!.. something to do with cancer though.) Although he's going to be working during the day we are still so excited to have him in the evenings and the weekends without studying!!! On Thursday we are headed to Utah for a week and then we'll be here in HOT AZ waiting for the arrival of baby girl Fowler 2... or what we've decided to name her... McKenna 2! (It is the only name we have agreed on so I guess all of the kids will just be named it!:)

Cousin Time!

McKenna and I made our way to Colorado this last week to meet my new baby nephew Ethan and have some sister time! It was Chris' finals week so we knew we wouldn't be seeing him much if we stayed! Before we left McKenna and I gave him a good luck card!

Flying by myself with McKenna always makes me nervous but she did great! This is McKennna waiting in the airport since our flight was so annoyingly delayed.

The whole purpose of our trip... Shanna and Ethan! We already miss them!

McKenna enjoyed her cousin time and it was good to get them all together! As Shanna said on her blog... we both realized neither of us are ready for 4 kids! It can get a little crazy!

McKenna loved Peanut! Every morning she woke up the first thing she said was "doggy!"

We were glad to make it to several of Brad's bball games! He did really great and I wish I could always see him play!

We also made it to the bouncy world!

We had fun and can't wait to see them again!

Busy, Busy!

We've all been pretty busy lately, but of course Chris is always the busiest of us all!

Holy cow has he done AWESOME this quarter in school... I am so proud to have him as my hubby and baby daddy! :)

Just some of his accomplishments this quarter:

• Getting several perfect test scores
• Getting the position of president of AMA (American Medical Association) for next year
• Getting the position of a student Ambassador
• Getting offered a spot in Sigma Sigma Phi... a National Honorary Osteopathic Fraternity

They've all come with a lot of hard work, ambition, and perseverance.

While Chris is busy doing his thing McKenna and I have also kept plenty busy! I've been making lots of cakes and McKenna plays lots!

When we go to the mall (probably more often then we should :)) McKenna LOVES to ride the mini carousel... to others it would probably be pretty lame... to her, it makes her day! She also is sporting a pony tail these days, it was a big milestone!
