Oh Yes! This is what I do!

 The front desk is the place where we spend our "downtime" in the evenings. Of course, everyone who walks by likes to make some comment about how they wished they worked in radiology so they could sit and watch tv. It really annoys me. No one says a word when we're running our tails off. I'm not bitter, really.









Sometimes I assist the radiologist for exams under live xray. It's called fluoroscopy and it's probably one of my favorite things to do. Except barium enemas cuz you'd have to be one sick puppy to enjoy those.



Sometimes I get the privilege (if you don't sense some sarcasm, you don't know me at all) of going to the operating room to assist the surgeon. I love orthopaedic cases!!! Everything else makes me want to beat my head against the wall. It's the most challenging part of my job. Only because every case is different, even if it's something I've done a bunch of times. I miss working with Dr. Norman. He was my favorite!!






It's Fall!

Climbing in Gpa Higgins' apple trees.

ISU Homecoming Parade

Yes, we decorated already!


Russ Wilson's Bday party. He's a grandpa, btw.


Paige has conquered her fear!

Avery's First Field Trip

One of the main reasons I wanted Avery to go to PCCS is for the experiences in fieldwork. They have many opportunities to learn by going outside the classroom. I was fortunate enough to be able to go on her first trip. We went to the Tautphaus Park Zoo in Idaho Falls to learn mostly about birds.

The school sponsors a penguin.

Avery's favorite bird was the scarlet macaw because he is beautiful and says hello!

All the girls loved the pink birds.

This black swan was my favorite.

The other popular group.

The girls I chaperoned wanted me take make sure I got this picture. I have an adorable one with all of them pointing to it, but I can't post pics of other people's kiddos.

Honestly, this is the coolest swing. Like, EVER!

Ross Park might be our 2nd Home

Yes, we pretty much live at the park.

We swing for hours.

And we always climb our favortie rock!

Dancing Queen

My other big girl. Paige is in tap and ballet now. She was so proud of herself for putting her dance clothes on all by herself. She raided my hair bows to find just the right one for the first day of class.

If Only We Could Live at Tracy's House

There's always plenty of yummy food at Tracy's house.

And lots of kids to play with.

We can even climb a mountain when we're there.

And play on lots of fun toys.


The girls can hike, even in their dresses.


Paige loves to steal Teague's toys.

Life is good at Tracy's house.
