A New week


So if you haven't figure out by now...we didn't get the job I was so very excited about in Wyoming. It had been filled on Thursday by someone from Idaho. I was pretty bummed. I think I knew we wouldn't get it but I was still so excited because I thought it was perfect! But like my dad says, it just wasn't where we were suppose to be. On friday we applied for a job in Vernal (which makes my ad very happy since his dad's side of the family settled there), and on Saturday we applied for one in Page Arizona. I have a notebook full of jobs I have found Zack and we plan to apply for all of them. Yesterday the Ports had a birthday thing for Mallory and Caitlin. We were pretty busy and tired so we just stopped in for an hour or so. I really like Caitlin quite a bit. We get along well and enjoy sharing our "woes" as Port women. :) Soon Audree will be part of that with us!
Church was LONG yesterday. We got there right on time, which is usually just fine and we get a pretty good soft seat on the side of the chapel. However, they were re-doing the gym and had it all closed off so all the people that usually sit way the in the back were up in all the good seats on the side. We had to walk in front of everyone and share a big bench with another family. But really thats not so bad. Shay was funny with her Snacks during sacrament. First off, she's not allowed to have any food until after the sacrament is over, so thats always fun trying to explain to a 2 year old why her treats have to wait...Then she was eating some wafer cookies and turned her back to them. I thought she was done so I closed them ant put them back in the bag. She turned around and saw that they were gone, looked at me and Zack with an opened mouth (Zack had his arm around me), then said, quite upset and serious, "DAD!" and Zack, of course, egged it on by "punking out" and said, "WHAT?!" Shay kept all her seriousness and said,"Cookies closed no-no!" Zack couldn't keep a straight face and we all laughed. She didn't let him get near her "cookies" again. Kade slept through Sacrament meeting. When it was time to clean up to go to sunday school I told shay it was time for nursery. She's had some stress going to nursery so her response was, "get car go home, okay mommy?" I told her the car was gone and since we couldn't find it we had to go to nursery. She thought for a second then said, "Okay, I walk home, okay mommy? Come on." We smiled at that! She threw a tantrum the whole way there but stayed! Half way through sunday School Kade woke up and, very loudly told us all that he was poopy and hungry. By the time I was done feeding him and got back to the room they were saying the closing prayer. Relief society, I was in there maybe ten minutes before I was told that Shay needed me. She had pooped in her pull ups...(I'm so sick of poop!) I had to find Zack so he could take car of Kade while I took care of Shay. I Walked passed all the men in the ward during priesthood because he, of course, didn't notice me trying to get his attention! Took care of Shay, who was very excited this time to go back to nursery, then went to find Zack to get Kade back (I had all his stuff). The men had moved to different rooms and I couldn't find him. So instead of wandering around looking for him, I just gave myself a little break and went back to relief society :) Turns out, Kade was perfect for Zack (of course he was...just how it has to happen!). I was pretty worn out though by the time we got home. I was so happy to sit on a soft couch. Zack had a meeting right after church so I took the kids home, put them down for naps, then took one myself! (YAY for me!) Long day.
Today we went to Zacks school library where they have a neat room to take kids in and you can still work on school stuff. Zack worked on his portfolio (senior project due wednesday) and I found Zack jobs and applied for them! Mayer Arizona is the one I'm excited about at the current moment! Shaylie watched Tangled on the big screen and tried to sleep while other kids played around her. It was an exhausting day, but I feel like we didn't get much done...Justin and Caitlin stopped by this evening and Zack justin and Shaylie went to Home Depot to get moving boxes (just getting ahead of the stress!). Caitlin Kade and I talked. It was nice to vent and get to know her better. She's a sweet heart! We also skyped for a little bit with my family this afternoon. I love seeing them (best part of my day!) only 16 more days until my mom comes! YaY!
