Blessings and Testimonies!

Okay as some of you know, this January we were considering very heavily taking a job in Ogden to make more money and was something Cole would have loved doing. Then he was approached by Walmart and they offered him an assistant management position when one opened. Which was not only a big compliment to him and his work ability but also it meant we wouldn't have to leave E town! We prayed about it and decided to stay here in Ephraim because that was something totally unexpected!
Time went on and we knew there would be an opening come May and we kept getting updates and encouragement from Walmart, so we thought it was a forsure deal. Then this passed month we found out that when this assistant manager left the Ephraim store they wouldn't be filling the position because they were over staffed here. It was a huge dissapointment! Cole started to get a bit discouraged but for some reason I was ok with the news. I knew that the Lord had a plan for us and what ever it may be it would be best for us. After all we were doing all we could right? We read our scriptures daily, We pay tithing, and For the first time last month I did a full fast. Normally I get really sick and have to keep fluids in me the whole time but I decided to go full out for the blessings.
My main focus in prayer has been our finances. As was the case in my fasting.
So even though we had this set back I was confident in the outcome even though we had no clue what was in store for us anymore.
Later I had realised. I took out on paper my tithing but never actually paid so the money was spent. I began to freak out! "Cole this is why were not doing so hot with our money (it seems like we have more money or it goes farther when we do pay it). and this is why Walmart is over staffed'! He kind of just laughed at me and said ya ok honey. I told him to go pay the tithing even if it means we go in the hole! Well he did. And come sunday I fasted again, because I had missed April's fast sunday.
Then While in Colorado I get this random phone call from Cole saying they were opening the assistant management position and that he had put in for it. I got a little excited but not daring to get my hopes up i grabbed Jennee and the kids and we sat down and said a family prayer. The VERY NEXT DAY Cole called and had the Job!! YEA!! So here is my testimony to all! Paying your tithing works! Along with fasting a prayer. And its so fun and exciting to know that for my self now! You always hear others saying it but until you actually apply it in your own life you dont quite get the full on understanding of the Gospel its truth and all the many blessings that come with it!

A week in Colorado!

This week we went to Colorado to spend the week with my little sister Jennee while my parents went on a CES retreat! We are so happy to be home but absolutely LOVE spending time with the family! The kids Especially had fun with their favorite aunt Jennee. (They love her because she acts like she is one of them.)

The kids absolutely love bonding with Papa! He is just the greatest to play with them!

Tackling Papa!

Chasee trying to tackle Papa. Ha!



Everyday I gave Jennee one job while the parentals were away...
Day 1: Pooper scooper! Cleaning up all of the doggy poop in the back yard that has accumulated over the winter. My reasoning behind it- So I could lay out and the kids could play with out the fear of stepping in it.


She even tried Golfing with it! Yea, that didn't work so much!

So she went back to the shovel, and Carter took over the Golfing

Carter taking his turn at Pooper Scooper!

Wednesday is garbage day and i went to get the garbages and one was gone! Major wind storm took it away. So we drove all around the neighborhood looking for it. Finally we found it at the neighborhood park, all cracked and destroyed!

Carter found MaGa's tanning glasses!

Chasee decided MaGa's tanning glasses were the coolest! And took them every where she went the rest of the trip!


At the park.

The girls flocking to Carter! Ha ha

Okay so I am getting Carter ready for School and brushing his teeth and all of a sudden he says, "Look!" and pulls this box cutter out of his pocket!! Holy Crazy! How was he supposed to know. He see's Cole carrying those around in his pocket all the time because of work. Can you imagine if he would have pulled that out at school! Yah Big Trouble! Thank Goodness he showed me before! I am still dying! You see these little kids get suspended and in big trouble for putting a plastic orange gun in his back pack, not even understanding what they are doing, but a BOX CUTTER!!@!@

I have alot of catching up to do and i figue if I can atleast do one current page and a catch-up page a month I can do it!! Anyways it will be so so much fun! Kind of a bring your own stuff to do thing. And even my little friends not from E-town, if you wanted, It would be an excellent excuse to come down and see me! Even if its every other month! So anyway if anyone is interested let me know! I am so excited!
