Guess who has dark hair?

Ewww...and an update

Not too long ago I took Bear for a walk and felt something wet on my sandal, and figured I just stepped in some water. Then I remembered I live in AZ and there usually aren't any puddles so I took my shoe off and found this little creature. Lovely. (I took this picture on my cell phone so if you can't see what it is it is a squished cricket!)

On to the update! Donavon finished his book study part of med school!!! He started his first rotation last Month here in Phoenix. He is home A LOT more now and even better when he is home he isn't studying!! We even watched a movie during the week together! I know, pure excitement! That has not happened in 2 years! He has been working in the VA hospital for the past two weeks and has some really funny stories when he comes home. Who knew being a Doctor could provide such entertainment! A big shout out to Tony M for showing D the ropes!

We also have heard where we will be during our 4th year! During his 4th year he visits 4 residency programs around the country for 1 month each and then has a 6 month core rotation at another residency program. So drum roll please, here is where we will be:

June: Denver

Nov - Jan: San Francisco!

The rest of the year we will be here in Phoenix for his core.

I can't believe we are already in his 3rd year! It has gone by so fast in no time at all we will be a Doctor! Crazy!

Halloween Adventures

Well, Happy Belated Halloween! This year Donavon went as a Podiatrist (easy costume), and I went as a foot. haha, we are so creative. This is a HORRIBLE picture of us (I think in the history of D&K), but it is the best one we have in our costume.

Our camera wasn't working so I was being the model for D while he figure it out. Hmmm...maybe model is the wrong word here. More like scary looking wife who looks like a deer in the headlights thanks to the flash. This year my Dad was a Chef, and my Mom was a witch. I love her socks

Tim and the Fam came up for the festivities and they had the cutest costumes! James was a dragon & Matthew was a knight.

AHH, A scary Dragon! Look out!
The Knight with his loot



These kids are so darling.

How cute is this? Knight Matthew in his converse.

We went to a Halloween party earlier in the week and made werewolf cupcakes. Donavon was my sous-chef and did a great job! He was in charge of everything but the frosting the cupcakes. When we mixed the coloring in the frosting I though it looked too dark so I started adding some other colors to it and they turned out dark purple! OH well, they are still dang cute!
Cupcakes in progress...marshmallows with fruit rollups

Beaarrrrrrrrrr

We stayed at my parent's house the other weekend to watch their dogs while they are were out of town.  When my parent's dogs and Bear get together they always get into trouble.  I got home from work one day and Bear had a big piece of tape stuck to him.  I searched all over for the role of tape and couldn't find it anywhere.  We call the 3 dogs the gang because that is exactly what they are!  We came home another night and they ate a bag of white chocolate chips with red and green swirls.  Later that day all 3 of them were throwing up and one of the piles had part of a lizard in it!  Gross!  Although they are kind of crazy we still love them!  

That is Suzie's face to the right of the picture.  She treats Bear like her child, it's really cute.  She'll bring him food and if Lola, my parent's other dog, is being mean to Bear she'll jump in.  That is why Suzie is in this picture.  She thinks I'm being mean to cute Bear.
