with the blogging... i've actually had things i've wanted to blog about lately, but can't seem to find the time to do it. but, thus is life. so forgive me, i'm jumbling a few things into one post.
we're almost done with school this semester!!! i have one more week of school, then finals. and we are counting down the days til jeff is finished with this semester. he has two more weeks before finals and then a month left of studying for the lovely boards. he takes them (the m.d. and d.o. tests) on june 11th and june 14th, so we will be celebrating come june 15th. we are very anxious to start his 3rd and 4th years of school. i've never seen my husband so excited and ready to be done with this semester, and let me tell you, he sure deserves it. he studies so much. every. single. day. medical school is pretty much like finals week x 10. every week. i don't think i even understand how much he studies and how much time he devotes to school. he is extremely dedicated, to say the least, and i'm lucky. i love him.
jeff and i both had birthdays this month. we're getting old. and it's starting to feel weird knowing that we met each other and started dating four years ago. maybe that's not that long, but time flies! i attempted to make a marbled cake for jeff. despite the fact that half of it fell right out of the pan while i was preparing it, it actually turned out lovely. if it weren't for jeff talking me through the whole thing... i was pretty much a nervous wreck and convinced it was ruined and would not turn out. but then it did and it was a hit. i always get my panties in a wad and jeff remains as calm as ever! geez. he balances me out.
the finished product
happy birthday jeff!
we had some friends over for the big event
last weekend i took a trip to utah and finally met fox henry burton, my new nephew. i love him. he is the sweetest baby and such a cute little man! i miss little foxworth so much already. i might have got baby hungry for a second. (shh, don't tell jeff.) then i remembered that motherhood is a permanent thing... and i'm not quite ready for that, yet. someday...
meet little fox:
he loves his mamma
just chillin' with favorite auntie hilly at chubb's cheer tryouts
blessing day
the proud parents
having a lil' conversation with auntie shelby
happy baby :)
now i'm all depressed because i had to say goodbye and leave family again. no just kidding. i'm doing fine. but it was a tearful departure, and believe it or not i really tried hard not to shed those tears. maybe some day i can do it without getting so emotional. geez! can't wait to come home in july. :)

Hil, I'm impressed with your cake! Check you out all Martha! It looks great! That's no fun that Jeff's school goes until June!! But good luck to both of you on all your finals...you guys are so smart. Your little nephey is DARLING!!! I love his blonde head of hair....oh so sweet. Your sister looks great too!
panties in a wad....You're great! I laughed really hard at that! Fox is a cute little baby! That's fun you got to come home for the blessing. I can only imagine how hard it is to leave and I am NOT looking forward to those days! WE still need to plan our girls trip for this summer. :)
Hang in there you two are such a great couple. I think the cake looks wonderful and very delicious! And boy what a cute baby!!!
That cake looks so so good hil!! You should give me the recipe! I'm very impressed! Jeff is one smart kid..I think I would go insane if I had to study that much. Oh and your nephew is too sweet. I love his name! I'm glad you got to come up for his blessing. You know, if you lived closer.. so many tears wouldn't have to be shed. :) I miss ya girl.
Oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! I hope all your dreams came true! :)
Hey! Happy (late) B-day!! Your cake looks SOOO yummy! Teach me how to make it! Your apt. is so cute too! What a great little decorator you are (I knew you would be!) We live in the same layout and I think they are too small! What do you think? I bet it was so fun to see your family. It's so hard to be so far away from home, huh!
Wow...you are a cook! I don't think I could have made that cake! You guys are so cute! And little Fox is adorable! That's neat that you were able to come home for his blessing! And happy birthday to you and Jeff!
hilly...you are so beautiful! I agree with Paige...we definitely need to plan a girls summer trip. Also...I have your b-day gift, but you know how that goes...I promise I didn't forget. I hope it was a good one. I'll call you soon.

Hey Hil! Well happy birthday! And tell Jeff happy birthday. You guys are so cute! Well done on the cake too.
That is awesome that they had a baby. I had no idea. He is quite the cutie.
check you out sister! that cake looks so delish! and happy belated birthday! yay for school being almost done. i can't imagine medical school. so much work. but definitely worth it! and 'foxworthy' is such a little man! i love it! who can't love any member of the skeen-burton clan? and chubbs cheer tryouts... it is that time of the year again?! holy cow! love ya and good luck with finals! you'll all do amazing i'm sure!
why i remember princess parties with shanni and cupcakes? it is hard for me to imagine you having a grown up party hil, i remember getting invited to one of those parties.....
Fox is such a little cutie! It was so much fun to have you home - thanks for coming to see us. I am very impressed with your cake. I bet Jeffrey loved it. It sounds like he had a really fun birthday. We miss you guys and can't wait to see you in July!!
Happy late Birthday! I love your cake, so cute! And your nephew is sooo cute!
I think its funny you said you always get your panties in wad and jeff chills you out, because thats EXACTLY what brian does with me, if it weren't for him I would be in serious trouble! That cake was impressive, I love to cook, but baking is a little harder for me! When in July are you guys coming up? If I'm not in the hospital having the baby, we will have to take you guys out boating (surfing!) one day!
K I know everyone is saying it but I wish I had really sweet lines like, "I get my panties in a wad" wow if only I was that cool! I guess that's why I am friends with you, it balances a bit of my nerdiness out and I get a taste of being rad:) Katie and Cordelle are finally in residency and it seems like things are a lot easier now and they get more time together, so maybe that's something to look forward to... On a lighter note Katie is having twins!!! Craziness and I love it! What's even better is that we are moving close to them so I will definitely be their fav Auntie!
