4 months old!
In June I also finished my medical transcription course...finally! I feel like it took forever. I guess having a baby and really struggling with it kinda threw a wrench into the schooling for a little while. I was really excited to find out that I had also PASSED the final! A lot of people don't pass it on the first time so I was really really relieved that I had passed. I didn't get honors or high honors though so I am going to take it again to try and get a higher score.
June was also my birthday month! I've decided I still think my birthday is super fun even though I'm not a kid. Jeff and I have been trying to be better about presents and not giving in early or anything (like we did at Christmas and LOVED it). So he kept my present until the night before so I could use it on my birthday if I wanted to. I was spending the day at one of my besties (Andrea) while our car was in the shop for a recall and to get an overall check before we drove it across the country to Illinois. Anyway, he got me the first season of Pretty Little Liars! Ha! I love love love that show. It is one of my guilty pleasures. Anyway, it has gotten some really good use (more on that later)! We also went to Cafe Rio for dinner (it is on my diet with a few modifications...yum!) while Andrea and her husband, Joe, watched the kids. Riley loves Joe more than he loves us so it was a win-win situation for all!
So speaking of our car, after the check up we decided we were just going to trade it in a get something new. It had a electrical issue that they couldn't really diagnose and we didn't want to worry about it breaking down on us on the long drive with both kids. Plus, it was out of warranty so no matter when we had to get it fixed it was going to cost us more $$ than we wanted to spend on it and we had to do some general repairs to it to get it ready for the trip. Instead of forking over cash into a car that we didn't plan on keeping for too much longer anyway we decided to get a new one! We looked into a lot of options. We wanted something bigger since we have 2 car seats and whenever we buy something we have to ask to borrow someones car. We didn't want to spend like 30k on something so we did some research and found out some good info. We test drove a few different things and ended up with the new Elantra Touring. It is essentially the same thing as our old car, but it has more room in the front and back and it is also a hatch back, which we LOVE. It makes loading stuff into the back like 500000000000 times easier! Hyundai hasn't always been the most popular car maker, but we sure love ours! In fact, the new Elantra (not the touring, just the regular one) gets like 40 miles per gallon on the freeway. And it is a super super cute car! We love our Hyundai and definitely recommend them!
Our new car!
Here is a montage of things that have been happening in the last little bit!
Tape measures can be dangerous! Riley is OBSESSED with his tape measure and takes it everywhere...it is getting kind of ragged and cut him the other day!
Jeffs parenting skills...he didn't really give her any :)
Addie found her toes the other day and loves to play with them! She also started rolling over as of June 16! She had been so close for awhile, but finally mastered the task of rolling ALL the way over on the 16th
Riley prefers your every day household items, such as the tape measure and this kids laundry/toy basket, over his toys! What a silly little boy!
Last, but not least, this makes my heart melt! Such a sweet picture <3

Sounds like you've been busy! I'm glad you like your new car...Brandon and I were kinda looking for a new car, maybe we'll check out the Hyundai line.
Oh. my. heck. that picture of Riley with the laundry basket on his back made me laugh so hard. It is SO cute in a nerdy sort of way!!!! :)
