My little Male Nurse

Joe is done with nursing school!
 I am proud of him and all the hard work he put into the past two years. Between being a dad, a husband, and dealing with a pregnant wife with a sick baby this last year he did amazing. His teachers were so good with him when he had to miss school for certain things that were going on with Brigham. And he always went back to school and did a great job on his tests and make up work. I was so emotional this night and felt such a proud feeling for Joe. I really am so grateful to be married to this man. He is so ambitious and anything he sets his mind to will be accomplished.
  Joe was also asked to be the student speaker. Go figure (he is loved by everyone). He handled it with such grace and ease. He kept the audiance laughing and everyone entertained.

Joe, I am so excited and proud of you! Thank you for everything you do for our family. Thank you for always working so hard in all you do. It makes me better. I love you! Congratulations!

I think we can call it stage fright

Ryah had her dance recital after about four months of dance class and it ended like this:

She walks up on stage like the shyest little thing I've ever seen.
Then she starts her dance, but likes looking around her and at the other girls rather then doing her dance.
She then looks out into the audience, hears us cheering her on in the third row but can't see.
Starts twirling her hair nervously.
With a squint in her eyes she begins to call out for her mom. (in the middle of her dance)
Then gets more nervouse that I'm not anwsering...
And boom, she starts weeping, "mommy, mmmmmooooomm.." hands imidiately come to her face, sholders bouncing full out cry.
And then exits the stage in the middle of the dance.
Bravo...

Haha... all those long months of her "dancing" really paid off. Ryah Seriously has stage fright. Big time and I'm just begining to see it more and more. She gets so nervous doing things she's not comfortable with. She starts licking her lips, and twirling her finger in her hair. It's super cute. Oh and Yes we got it all on video. But I don't know how to put it on my computer from my video recorder. (sorry)  But I love sweet Ryah Roo, I'm proud of her for trying. She is constantly keeping us laughing.

The first picture she just looks so big and grown up to me. So pretty:)
The second is her whole class.
I had to put the third picture up there because Kate just put a post up about her nose and it being grandpa Denhalter's nose. Well this certain face for some reason reminds me of that same nose. Maybe its the mouse face? Don't mind the runny nose part. She was just getting over a cold. But Anyway this seems to be a Grandpa Denhalter nose and if she looks anything like Kate I will be soooooo happy. Kate is a knock out!
