Bees

I have taken a new job in Evanston at the hospital. It is thier Fulltime night shift running the lab. So far I have worked 3 weeks and am enjoying it. Jesse stays home with Randle, which has been really good for them to bond without me. My days off are now set. I work Sunday night to Wednesday night and when I get off at 6am I get to drive home Thursday morning. So I have all day Thursday off to Sunday at 3:30pm when I leave here to go back up to work.
This week while I was at work, Jesse, was at my neighbors, Cindy's. He loves it at her house. She watches Jesse every other week and my mom every other as well. He went to play in the jeep that they have, he always plays in it, and he ended up making some wasps very mad when he got in it. Cindy had no idea bees had made a home in the jeep under the dash. He was stung twice on the face, three times on his right hand and twice on his leg. I felt so bad for my little guy. Because I am allergic to bees, we were so afraid that he would be, but luckily he did not have any type of reaction, just a little swelling in the area of the sting. Now when we are outside and he sees a bee, he yells "ahhh a stinging bee" and runs to the house. I dont blaim him, I run too. He is pretty scared of them now.
We also went to Eureka today and had a really good lunch with Grandma GG. We took her some corn fresh from our garden as well as some fresh zucchini we grew.Plus we took her a fresh cantalope and tomatoes. Jesse has enjoyed growing the garden, he calls it his garden. We have been eating zucchini for over a month now and the corn is just starting to be ready. We took our first 6 ears off and shared it with Virginia today. It was also Eureka's celebration days too, so we took Jesse to see the train on Main Street and see the stands they had. We have had a good weekend with me being off and are planning on eating fresh tomatoes with dinner.
Now for the countdown...Only 6 days until Toby Keith's concert!!

It's been awhile...

Randle, Jesse and I have had one busy and fast going Summer. Just like everyone else, things come and go. This has been our summer so far:
We got our pool put up the first part on June, for it to sit for a few weeks while we ordered a new pump. Once the new pump came, it has been fun swimming in. I have taken Jesse to the water park in Spanish Fork and also to the Dino Museum with his Grandma Jan. He loved it there.
Randle's job has kept us on edge wondering what will happen. In July I was offered a Full Time position at Evanston Regional Hospital. That was a tough desicion for me to make. It is the night shift which goes from Sunday night to Wednesday night. I would get to come home Thursday morning. With the economy the way it is and construction and excavation jobs still slow, both Randle and I felt that I was offered this job of a reason. I tried it last week and this week to see how it would go. Needless to say, I took the job. I will be getting better pay, steady and guaranteed hours, plus the benefits of vacation pay and insurance. Randle and I feel much better about me taking the job especially for the insurance. If for some reason Randle was to loose his job we would loose our insurance. Jesse and Randle are doing great while I am gone during the week. I talk to Jesse everynight before bed and during the day after I wake up. He loves for me to tell him stories about skunks and tigers. It is usually Uncle Jason who is in the stories and the one who gets sprayed by the skunk.
Our garden is coming along great. Our corn is just about ready to be picked and the tomatoes are starting to go red. We have enjoyed our Zuchinni's and we have cantalopen and watermelon that should also be ready to eat soon.
We had a great trip to Logan last weekend, where my cousin Nate and his new wife Mindy were married. It was up Logan Canyon at a beautiful camp ground.
We have taken Jesse to the Spanish Fork Fiesta Days festivities as well as some of the Santaquin Onion Days festivities.
We are also in the process of rocking the wall in our front room so that we can get our wood burning stove in before this Winter. It has been a large project since we dont know what we're doing.

I hope everyone has enjoyed there summer too! Hopefully we will have a couple more months of nice warm weather. I am not ready to take the pool down yet.
