This month we have had many adventures like going to the park, helping work on Chauncy and Shar's new house (Trevors brother and his wife), Trevor applying to get into the EAC nursing program (again... hopefully we will find out if he got in by October 10th) and Trevor working hard all the time. He also applied to get a job at Mt. Graham Hospital to work in the Med. Surge Department as a CNA. We totally thought that he got the job (it took over a week to hear anything back about if he got the job or not) but he got an email this morning saying "Thank you for applying but they are persuing a different applicant." It was a complete bummer and we were really sad, but we know that we will be blessed in other ways and just need to be faithful and hopefully find a different job. Trevor has a current job but it is hard for him to get work hours and get paid enough when he is going to school full time also. We know that we are meant to be down here and that we are doing all that we hope is good in Heavenly Fathers eyes for our family... hopefully blessings will follow!!
Trevor had an amazing experience with his current job working plumbing/construction. But, he will have to blog about that later and tell all about it. We want this blog to be an update on all that we do and experience while we are down here in the Pima valley, so if you dont care to hear all about it you are welcome to tune me out for the next 2 1/2 years. (we can catch up after we graduate)
I have been cutting out fabric for my brother-in-law David. He has a personal company called "coyote tactical" were see sews and makes tools bags, hunting gear, etc.. It is kinda cool to see what he does. Anyways, I have been cutting out fabric for some tool bags and some other stuff to help him out. He is really busy with his career and so he has a hard time finding the time to cut out this stuff for his side business and during the summer tries to hire youth from his ward or something but now that it is school season he needed some help. He asked if I was interested and so I said I would love to help. I am hoping to get a job to start working at Walmart Pharmacy as a Technician but we will see how that all pans out. I will still plan on helping David and Jen (my sister is Jen) out by cutting stuff out too.
Kids are doing great. Olivia is struggling in the listening department. She is having a hard time understanding that she is not in charge and that she has to listen to mom and dad and all other adults. She thinks that she is the boss of everyone and likes to try dragging Hyrum around by his clothes or his feet so he is on his belly being drugg. She actually loves to watch the new disney movie "descendants" (I am listening to them watch it now as I am typing this actually) It is a super cute movie and is one that has great music. She loves to do anything Trevor and I do (even dress up like us) and she loves to repeat anything anyone says. She actually has a knack at when I change into comfy clothes at the end of a day, she will go in her room and do that same and say "See, I am just like mommy." Hyrum had a little accident today of putting a bobby pin (I still have no idea where he found it) in his ear. I walked into the living room as he started screaming and was pulling it out of his ear. I ran over and picked him up, and he will still pulling it out of his ear and a little stream of blood came out with it too. So we called the doctors office (Mt. Graham Family Practice) and got him in to see a doctor within another hour. The doctor said that there was too much wax build up to see if he punctured his ear drum or not but there was some blood in his ear. Trevor and I actually had to pin him down so that the doctor could look into his ear with the ear light thing. Trevor held his head down and I held his arms and legs down. It was so hard to see him in so much pain screaming. The doctor ended up prescribing an ear drop that will help reduce the wax in his ear and keep an infection at bay (so he wont get an infection if it is punctured) and the doctor wants to see him back at the clinic on Tuesday to see how it looks. We were all more worried about infection or loss of hearing than if it did have a puncture. They cant do anything for a puncture but if it is completely destroyed then he could have ear problems the rest of his life. The poor kid turns 2 in a month and I really just hope this is just a little problem and not a long lasting future problem.
Well that is what is going on lately for us. I hope you are all having a great last couple weeks of September. Happy Friday. Enjoy your weekend.
p.s here are some pictures we took the other night on our computers photo booth. They are goofy. Enjoy!!!
