Jared's 2nd year of Medical School

It's crazy to think that Jared has completed his 2nd year of school. His 2nd year was crazy busy. Not only was he in school 12 hours a day/5-6 days a week, he was the Weblos leader, Institute class president, stake auditor,  and was still a husband and father to his wife and kids. Even with everything he had to do he still found time to go on a couple man dates with his friend Chris. They went to the Brazil vs. USA soccer game. In the end he was able to manage it all well and finished his 2nd year with flying colors. 

their original seats were "obstructed view" which meant they were directly behind a pillar. They ended up moving down and getting seats on the second row they were very lucky. 

he spent more hours of the day at school then he did at home. This was his last day in the quiet zone, the day before he took Step 1.

I'm not sure how "quiet" it was in this area, with the 4 boys in that area there had to be some  goofing off. 

Third year will bring lots of time in the hospital. He will be doing rotations for 6-12 weeks at a time. He will have tests and papers with each rotation. This will give him a taste of what it's like to be a doctor. We are so proud of him!! 

Annapolis & Rehoboth beach house

After Jared finished up his 2nd year of school. We rented a beach house in Delaware for  the weekend. It was the best thing we could've done. It was so relaxing! The weather was perfect. We went down with the Sorensen's and Willardson's. The Farnsworth's met us at the beach for the day. The boys didn't study the whole weekend. It was awesome! 

On our way to the beach we stopped by Annapolis. I love that place. It is so pretty! 

The house was perfect. It had a covered deck. So we could eat outside and not have a million bugs. Our first night we had dinner and walked along the beach. Of course Jared had to jump in. 

The water was freezing!!

One morning while Mckenna was napping, Hallee and Jared went exploring. There was a lake near by that they walked to. 

Hallee took this picture of Jared :)

the boys made sandcastles 

we ate at the best restaurant 

I'm so glad we were able to create more memories with such great friends! The kids played so well with each other. After the kids went to bed we sat around and talked the night away. It was the perfect trip! 

Pictures of the Girls

Our really good friend Jenny took pictures of the girls for us before we left. Mckenna has yet to have any professional pictures taken of her so we thought 7 months would be a perfect age. We met up in downtown Kensington to take a few pictures. 

Jared thought it would be fun to let Hallee play on the train tracks and get dirty before pictures..he obviously wasn't thinking :)

Mckenna was very excited about pictures

Mckenna is always getting compliments about her big blue eyes. My girls definitely have big blue eyes!

We got a few shots of Hallee, she didn't want to look at the camera

love this picture of her eating a sucker for being a good girl.
