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.

I am glad that you guys could come up to the wedding. It was fun to see everyone. Jesse is so cute and big. Kaylee still shakes her butt like him. It is so funny.
