Semester Break

I better catch up on what we have been up to these last couple weeks since in a couple days Abby and I are off to CA to see my mom, sister and nieces preform in "The Wizard of Oz." Phillip had two weeks off in between semesters (he doesn't get the summer off) we decided to pack up and hit the road. As soon as his last final was completed I surprised him with some take out sushi and we hit the road. We stayed one night in Provo with some friends then drove to Tooele, UT to stay with Phillip's brother Jared and his wife Kathryn. Jared took a couple days off of work so we could just goof around. Phillip's goal for the trip was to go golfing as many times as he possibly could, especially since golfing in Utah is about 1/5 the price in Vegas. He played golf every single day that we were there, I got to shop for several hours with my sister in law at Ikea, we went swimming, played at the parks, played the Wii and card games, and had a wonderful time relaxing. Then we packed up and drove to Layton, UT to visit my sister Veronica and Brent and their 3 kids. We had a great time playing outside, going to the zoo, a museum, just visiting, of course more golfing for Phillip. Then we packed up again and drove to St. George, UT. We stayed in St. George for the rest of the time with some friends from dental school at a very nice condo. (Thanks again Millers) There were about 6 different families that came up different days and rotated staying a day or two. We had an awesome time swimming every day, shopping and playing at the cool parks. Phillip went on a hike with the guys where they had to cross a little river and climb cliffs to get golf balls. Apparently there is a golf course that is on a cliff so everyone always hits a few golf balls over the cliff. So the boys went on a hike to find them. They came back with almost 600 golf balls. Phillip was in heaven. So of course the next day, he had to go golfing with his new found treasure. We had such a great trip but we were exhausted by the end. We got home on Friday and Phillip started school again Monday...back into the full swing of things with dental school again.

This is pretty much how Abby is the ENTIRE car ride :)Even with watching DVD's and such.


"On the road again..."


The guys scrubbing all the golf balls they found.

This park was so much fun for Abby and her friends, but I think the adults actually had more fun at this park!

Camera is finally fixed!

Here are some pictures to add to the posts since my camera was getting fixed for awhile.


I guess Abby was trying to take her jammies off by herself.


Playing on the little toys at the "Outlet" stores in Primm


Playing in the spa with Daddy at our hotel


We had to stop by Bass Pro Shops on our way back into town (this was for your Grandpa Jenkins). You can't really see but it was a really sweet fish tank behind them


Abby getting her first real hair cut because everyone was saying she had a major mullet going on.


It looks so much better now




We went with some friends to a Spring Celebration at a park and they had bounce houses, little rides, petting zoo, all sorts of things. Abby wasn't really sure what to do in the bounce house.

Chasing scary geese who were hissing and making me really nervous


Random picture of her hiding in the corner

Its been awhile since I posted last but my camera has been in the shop again for repairs and I always feel like for some reason I can't post if I don't have pictures. So I will have to post some when the camera returns again. Hopefully this time they will actually fix the thing I asked them to fix the first time. Anyway...a couple weeks ago Phillip had a much needed Spring Break. On Monday night we met up with some other dental friends down in Primm, NV (state line) so we could get out of town with only having to go 40 miles away. Plus when we saw that the prices for the rooms were only $7 a night at Buffalo Bills, the one with the roller coaster....we couldn't pass it up. The rooms were not too bad at all, especially for the price. We had connecting rooms so that we could put the kids down in the one room and then we could still hang out in the other room. The roller coaster and all the rides were all closed till the weekend so there really wasn't much to do but swim in the hot tub (the pool was FREEZING), go shopping, and eat. We stayed Monday and Tuesday night and came home Wednesday. It was a nice little change of scenery for cheap. Then the rest of the week we relaxed, had BBQ's, hung out at the parks and played. It was so nice to have Phillip home for the week since with so much studying lately we really haven't gotten too much time with him. Then he started school again and finals are in two weeks, so he said he basically won't see us till they are over. I can't believe how much he has to study. I don't know how he does it all, but I'm glad its him and not me :) Can't wait for this semester to be over for him. He gets two weeks off and then starts a new semester, which we have actually heard is even worse then this one...yay I love dental school! :) Well when I get the camera back I will have to post more pictures, until then...sorry!

Birthday Celebration and White Coat Ceremony

Last weekend Phillip's parents and his brother and their family came into town for Phillip's birthday and white coat ceremony. On Sat night we went to a sushi place for dinner. Phillip ordered the all you can eat sushi and everyone else ordered food that was actually cooked. Abby ate a ton of rice and then snuck a piece of fish off daddy's sushi and actually ate it! I was so shocked! But she didn't go back for seconds. Then Sunday we cooked a big dinner at home for Phillip's actual birthday. He had been asking for home made spring rolls for months now so I decided to tackle it for his birthday. So we had a random dinner of steak, spring rolls, broccoli and potatoes. With the help of my mother and sister in law the spring rolls were a huge hit and Phillip ate more then half of them! :) Then on Monday we all visited Phillip at school and got a tour of some of the things he has been working on. Like his mannequin patient, Billy, and such. Then that night the was the white coat ceremony. It was to signify their progress from being a student to becoming a practicing dentist. It was very neat and I would have been able to enjoy it more if I didn't have my very energetic, can't sit for more then 2 minutes one year old with me. The parts that I did get to hear though were pretty awesome. Watching Phillip walk across the stage and see the dental professors put his white coat and pin on made him becoming a Dr. so real. Then all the students and dentists stood and recited a Dental Oath. From what I got to hear it was a really touching experience. Congrats Dr. Phillip Jenkins! Keep up the good hard work!

Success!!!

YAY! After maybe 4 days of Abby going on strike and not drinking any if but a few sips of milk...she finally drank it out of a sippy cup!!! I let her pick out a sippy cup at the store in hopes that she would be more excited to use it and it seemed to work in the end. She is still somewhat iffy of the whole idea but today she officially drank two full cups of it! Our little girl is getting so big!
