Update

I haven't posted for a while so I thought I would just put up some random pictures.

On the 24th of July our ward had a fun party. We all brought blankets and had a picnic on the ground in the gym. After dinner we had a pie eating contest. Don was a good sport and gave it a try. Jaron & Don had fun in the tug-a-wars. They had a pie contest, so we all got to eat a lot of pie for dessert. It was lots of fun and good to have a something on this Utah holiday.


On Wed. or Thurs. they have story time at the library. The boys have really enjoyed going the library once a week and getting books. We also get cartoons from the video section, since we have no TV. The story time lady is really great and she always has a fun activity to follow the book reading. This last week they had a blind man come and read to them in braille. They had someone there turning the pages to the book as he was reading so they could see the pictures. Then the got to chose the letters of their name that had braille below it and put their name on a bookmark. We then took it to the blind man and he read their name. It was really cool.

Still no "real" job yet. Don is working more hours at the golf course now that school has started for most the guys that work there. He has gotten a fill-in position at the post office in Chandler. He would cover three routes and only work when one of the carriers were sick or on vacation. He has an interview this Fri. for a part-time FedEx courier. We are really thinking this might be the job that we have been waiting for, but don't know for sure. He would still work at the golf course part-time too and we would get benefits and tuition reimbursement if we decided going back to school was the next step. If we do get the FedEx job he won't be able to work for USPS too, conflict of interest.

I am doing good. Lots of last month aches and pains. Insurance has been difficult and we are really hoping that that all goes through this week. Our AC broke this week so we had a really rough couple of days. The apartment didn't really cool down at night so we sat in 90-100 weather for a few days. We got out as much as we could, but it still was a big challenge.

The boys are good. Jaron is excited to get his new bed that will be delivered this week. He asks almost every day if we can go to the zoo. Finally we had to tell him that we can't go until dad gets a job that makes enough money. Jaron is really into Don's job search right now so he can go to the zoo! He is having a hard time not having friends to play with. It used to be that we could go outside and play with friends on the playground, or family was close. I am trying to get things together so I can invite kids over to play more often. I have just been so tired and things it hasn't happened yet. Jaron loves church and playing with friends there.
Bryson is still a no go for nursery. It is nap time and he really doesn't like big crowds. There are about 15-20 kids in there every week. We are working on that. Other than that he is doing great. Talking more and more everyday. He is also starting into the help-out phase, which is awesome.
