Arizona

We made it safely to Yuma last Sunday morning. The travels actually went better than I ever expected. Jackson enjoyed having the option of the U-Haul or the car. Everyone got a break from him that way too. We're enjoying it here. It is very hot, but that's a given. Jes started his job Wednesday and is looking forward to getting on an ambulance. He has to do quite a bit of training first. I've been at home trying to get the house together and keep Jackson busy.

Just in case you missed it...

WE'RE MOVING!!!

Jes got and accepted a Firefighter/Paramedic job in Yuma, Arizona!!!! It's crazy to think that we're moving 1200 miles away from everyone we know and love, but we will come back to visit!!! We are moving on July 2nd, so if you want to say goodbye... you better do it soon!!! In the mean time, enjoy these awesome pictures we just got taken!!!

Wow, it's been awhile!!

My mom and sister keep reminding me about how less often I blog. It seems as if everyone has a facebook now to keep up with me that I didn't think it was necessary, plus.. I hardly ever get comments. Yes I'm whining.. why sit here and think of what to type and post pictures to have no one even comment. I could be sleeping.. I should be sleeping. Jackson is and that's rare this weekend/week. He's been sick since Friday. Temperature of at least 102 off and on (thanks to alternating motrin and tylenol) He's thrown up 3 times so far and is just miserable.. and so am I really. I'm tired of the nasty cough and having to cancel plans and such. I did make it to work today though. I plan on taking him in to get checked out in the morning and depending on how that goes I may or may not go to work tomorrow. We will see.

We have been so busy.. obviously, I haven't blogged since Jackson's stitches!! That seems like forever ago. Jes is still at Sears and I'm still at ShopKo. In addition to those two jobs he's a caregiver at Eagle Springs Memory Care home and I'm a housekeeper at the same facility. It's not great, but it's not horrible. I guess there's just not much good news to share. Still Paramedic/Firefighter job hunting.. still no luck... story of our lives.

Not quite 2 1/2 and stitches already!!

While I was at work last night... mind you, I've had the past week and a half off... Jes was getting ready to go to the fire station for the Monday night training and Jackson was "helping" him. Jackson managed to trip over Jes' boots and landed his mouth right on a laundry basket. The top right corner of his mouth now has two stitches and is still pretty swollen this morning. He is very proud of his hospital bracelet though. Every time he sees it he says, "Doctor, Doctor". Jes said by the time they left the ER he was already in a way better mood and even thanked the Doctor.

Family Pictures

We got a call last night for a free 10 by 13 and no sitting fees at Sears, so we took advantage and went and got our family pictures taken!!! There they are... enjoy!!

We're in Walla Walla now! =)

As most of you know we moved to Walla Walla last weekend. It's nice to be back with family and friends here. It was so hard in Vancouver because we didn't know very many people. I think Jackson is a little overwhelmed with all of the attention, but he is loving it!!! Whenever we pull up to either Grandpa and Grandma's houses he gets really excited and says "Papa n Mama's house!" I had a job interview last Monday at ShopKo and got it. I was hired as a seasonal part time cashier. It should be fun, I just hope they decide to keep me, but if not I'll be looking for another job I suppose. Jes has started at Sears here and is enjoying it. The store here is maybe 1/4 size that Lloyd Center Sears is. I'm enjoying all these nice fall colors and everything that goes along with fall... like the holidays and good food!!! Here's some pictures of what we've been up to. We had a good Halloween and hope you all did too!!!


Last Monday we took Jackson over to Klicker's Pumpkin Patch and he picked out a pumpkin. It was really quick cause they were closing 10 minutes after we got there. He had a good time though!
