I suppose I've got quite the updating to do!!
Well... the news is we are moving to Colorado Springs!!! We pick up the U-Haul this Saturday and head for The Springs on Sunday!!! We have known for almost 3 weeks now, so it's a quick move for sure!!! Right when we found out we started packing of course and since we move about every two years I am a pro!!! As I type this right now there's "a million" boxes packed and ready to be loaded. That's Jackson's close estimate. :) We are excited to start our new adventure... it's a little hectic and crazy as we try to say as many goodbyes as we can before we go. Yesterday put a damper on things though... We found out we got the house we applied to rent, so I took off to the bank quick to get a money order in the mail to secure it and I got a text from Jes right when I got there that said, "I need stitches" In a panic I rushed out and on the way home called my friend and asked if we could drop Jackson off while I took him in. I got home and he showed me what he had done... He was wrenching on his jeep and I don't know all the names of what tools he was using, but pretty much one of the bars he was using catapulted into his face right below his lip and he thought that there was a hole. He bit into his lip pretty good, so there's a gash on the inside from his teeth and a gash on the outside from the bar. We both thought it was a hole all the way through so I took him in.... Soon after we got to the urgent care I get a call from my friends saying Jackson's puking. ugh!!! WHY?! After picking him up he seemed better and everything was fine for the rest of the evening. Then this morning he didn't wake up until 9.. which is super weird!!! When he did wake up he came out holding his belly crying telling me he really needed water, so I got him a drink and he laid down on the couch and fell asleep. He was feverish, pale and lethargic. I thought well maybe rest is what he needs, so when he wakes up, hopefully he feels better.. not the case... he woke up and threw up again.. :( We canceled play dates and are having a chill day. I think we all needed it though since we've been on the go so much lately!! I tried to post pictures of the house, but for some reason it's not working... sorry

Good News... & Bad News...
I'll share the bad news first... apparently the job we've been waiting to hear about in Aurora, Colorado is STILL on a hiring freeze and they're way over staffed. We aren't too thrilled at the thought of spending another summer here, but it's looking more and more like reality. So the good news is, we aren't moving... FOR NOW!
It's a relief in a way because the thought of packing a house with two kids doesn't sound like a ton of fun to me. Living here in this house in Yuma is the longest we've ever staying in one place ever in our whole dating/married life. It's been almost 15 months. Crazy, I know... honestly I enjoy change (obviously, since we move every 2 years or less lately.) and making a new place 'home'. If any of you see or hear of any opportunities for a Paramedic pass it along!! We're open to nearly anywhere on this side of the states.
We are all doing well...
Jackson is getting taller, smarter and more and more funny everyday. Some of the things he comes up with just crack us up!! 4 year olds are the best... majority of the time. He definitely has his moments. Onery little guy sometimes!!
Jacob is 9 1/2 months now trying so hard to crawl, but instead has mastered things like eating real food, clapping, waving and copying just about anything we do. He loves to stand up and have us help him walk and I'm certain he'd rather walk than crawl. He loves his big brother and is a HUGE mamas boy!! He weaned himself a couple weeks ago and although he doesn't 'need' me as much he still thinks he does. Silly boy!
I'm keeping busy with my Mom's Club and the kids. The weather is beautiful right now and I'm dreading the hot hot summer... I think I should conveinently plan a trip home during June/July. I think we're aiming for July when my brother Jeff goes home too.
Jes is working hard as always. He recently got his Jeep going really good and has been happy to drive himself to work and back. We took it for a trip to the desert and had a good time this past weekend.

Some updating to do...
Well, here I go again neglecting my blog... My apologies fellow bloggers!!!
Jes got an email back from the job with AMR (American Medical Response) in Boulder, Colorado saying he didn't get it. That was okay. We had waited so long wondering and wondering what had come about him flying there for the interview. Most of you are probably thinking, what a waste... he flew there for the interview and didn't get the job. Well... I kind of thought the same thing, then I realized it was good for him... He stayed with a friend he hadn't seen in almost 6 years and fell in love with Colorado knowing that's where he wants to raise our family.
He had a phone interview with Rural Metro (the company he works for now, so it'll be a direct transfer) in Aurora, Colorado on Wednesday and did great!! He got an email back Friday saying he passed both the interview and the written test they emailed him. Now they're just waiting to see when their orientaion is going to start and we'll be on our way!!! Jes is under the impression that it will be early January making us move a couple days after Christmas. I guess it's still not for sure for sure since we don't know WHEN we're going, but it is definite at the same time. It's a very good pay raise which will be good too... I'm excited/anxious for our new adventure.
It's very sad to think of leaving all of our good friends here, but just like we did in Vancouver and here we will make more friends. We always do... not that it makes it easier, but the reassurance is nice. We have really enjoyed our year and a half in Arizona, but it's just not home..
Jacob is nearly crawling... It's a matter of time before he'll be too fast for me!!! I love the stage he's at right now. So much fun!!! He has his top fangs and his two bottom teeth... he's working on his top two, but they aren't quite down just yet. He loves to eat cheerios, mac n cheese and anything else Jackson, Jes and I are willing to share.
Jackson is doing great and continues to grow and learn. He's so smart!! Sometimes he will come up to me and just randomly say, "Mom.. L is for Lion and C is for Cat" Thank goodness for educational t.v. and friends :) He too has so many friends here!!! That's where it gets hard as a parent... I hate to see him leave them, but it's best for our family right now.
Jes is doing good. He's literally working himself to the ground though!! Seems like he's hardly home. Yes, he has 4 days off in a row, but he rarely takes the full 4 days. He's such a good provider and we appreciate all his hard work!!
I'm doing good... keeping very busy with the kids, cleaning, cooking and my Mom's Club and friends. I am doing really good selling my Scentsy this month so that's exciting!! It's nice to contribute to our household besides the basic Mom stuff. If you're interested in ordering any Scentsy you can order directly from my website at https://janessagoodson.scentsy.us/ It makes great gifts!!

The Interview
Jes had his interview early Friday morning in Denver, Colorado... he feels like it went really well and is anxious (I'm probably more anxious, haha) for the call in what they said is going to be 2-3 weeks. If he does indeed get it, we will be moving mid-November. Jes absolutely fell in love with the area and wants to move that way regardless of the job... I'm game, but you all know me.. I'm a planner and a list maker, so the lists are going!!! Yard Sale planning... U-haul planning... everything!!! I'm excited!!! I have a feeling moving that far with 2 kiddos isn't going to be as easy as it was getting to Arizona with just Jackson... Keep your fingers crossed for us as this is a wonderful opportunity for our family!!! Baby is awake!!! Have a good Sunday!!!

Denver Colorado
Well... as some of you know, we're starting to really explore our options for jobs. Jes got a phone call today and has an interview in Denver, Colorado on the 23rd of this month!!! Crazy and exciting all at the same time!!! We will keep you all posted, but we could be moving pretty quick, YAY!!! (Although it will be just when it finally starts to cool down here.) We miss our 4 seasons, so this would be a nice change, plus... I've never heard anything bad about Colorado.. Keep us in your prayers. Thanks!!! :)
