Pinning Ceremony

At the beginning of nursing school they do a pledge ceremony and at the end they do a pinning ceremony. I graduated in December so this felt like our graduation ceremony since we wouldn't walk until May. It was nice to have something to celebrate our accomplishments of finishing nursing school.

Receiving my pin.

They also showed a slide show highlighting each one of the members in my class.

All of the nursing students that I graduated with. There were 17 of us. It was really bitter sweet because I realized this would be the last time I would see a lot of these people. We spent so much time together for the last 2 years and now we are all moving on with our lives. But I am so grateful to be done with school. I thought this day would never come.

Thank you to all of the family that were able to make it. I have so much family support. I feel so lucky. Thanks everyone for your love and support!

Here are some of the pictures from nursing school. We had fun!

We dressed up as patients with the manikin wigs.

(I do not look good as a blond...) 

We made Dylan put on the pregnant belly since his wife was pregnant at the time. 

We thought he might gain a little sympathy.

CERT training, we are ready for a disaster.

Thanksgiving

This year we had Thankgiving with my the Losee side. We got together at the church for dinner. Food was great as always!

Someone's always gotta pull a face!

My mom with all of her siblings and my Grandma

My family rented the skating rink in Delta so after we stuffed our faces we went and burned off some of that food.

Poor Kimbry wanted so badly to go rollerskating but she didn't make it very far because she was feeling sick all day.

This is possibly my favorite picture. Breanna is pretty intense when she skates!

That Saturday we went and celebrated with the Jensen's and had another big thanksgiving dinner.

Halloween!!

Bryce and I carved pumpkins. My is the ghost in the graveyard and his is the headless horseman.

This was at Andrew's 30th birthday party. His birthday was on the 26th so Karalee planned a Halloween party and everyone dressed up. It was lots of fun! We decided to be bank robbers! I even made the shirts. It took forever but they turned out really cute! 

Then on Halloween, we went to a party with a bunch of Bryce's friends. We played a murder mystery game and we all had to dress up as one of the characters in the game. Bryce was a mummy.

I was a dentist. 

(It almost didn't feel like I was dressing up because I wore scrubs all day at work)

Here is the whole group of us.

Color Me Rad

Color Me Rad 5K run came to St. George. My mom, my sisters and I all decided to do the run. Our team name was "the Sole Sisters". We made awesome shirts to wear to the race. Then there was a big snow storm and my mom, Shany, and Breanna weren't able to make it. We were sad they couldn't come. So it ended up being just Karalee and I and her friend Amber. We still had lots of fun!

They give you these awesome sunglasses to wear to protect your eyes. As you run they throw colored chalk at you as you go through the race. By the end we were nice and colorful! Thanks Karalee for the fun idea!

Time Out for Women

This year Time Out for Women came to Richfield. All of us girls on the Twitchell side were able to go. It was  an awesome experience. They had amazing inspirational speakers that came. Thanks Jenny for putting it all together! It was lots of fun!

South Sevier Football

Bryce's brother Jayson plays football for South Sevier and this is his senior year. We were able to go watch him for a lot of his games. It was a lot of fun to go watch. He is a great football player!

Our attempt at getting the whole clan.

Kristy's 24th Birthday

Life has been absolutely crazy for a really long time so I haven't blogged in forever. I'm using this as a family journal though so forgive me but I am going to be playing catch up for a while here.

I had clinicals for school on my actual birthday so we didn't have a chance to do much. Bryce did take me to lunch and gave me some nice running shoes for my birthday. Thanks, babe!

We celebrated later that weekend with cake and icecream. My parents came down and took us all out to dinner. And we were babysitting Kaylee and Kimbry for the weekend because Karalee and Andrew were hunting for her desert big horn sheep.

Bryce made me a cake with Kaylee's help. Kaylee did a great job with the sprinkles.

My mom and dad also brought a cake so we had tons!

Kaylee wants to be spider girl for Halloween so I think she is practicing.
