New Job!


The last few months have been a little stressful for us, but we can finally sleep peacefully again. Colin got a job!!! He has been applying at many different companies andhas been getting so frustrated because right now there are so many people trying to get jobs. He would apply at companies where there were 150 other applicants. He got a few interviews, but nothing panned out. Finally someone came to there senses and realized how great Colin is and offered him a position. So he will be working for a company called SISEL International. The most well known company they own is SurpraNaturals in Springville. They are a company kindof like NuSkin. He will be doing accounting work which is good because that is what he is going back to school for, so it will give him great experience. His office will be in Springville which we are very happy about because that is where we want to live.

We are really excited and very grateful, I just have to say that we didn't do this alone. We did a lot of fasting, praying, paying fast offerings and going to the temple; but nothing seemed to be happening. Then we moved into our new ward and the second week we were there the bishop got up and talked about how many people are being effected by economic crunch; he talked about attending the temple and receiving blessings from doing so. Colin and I had both just gone to the temple about a week before, but I really felt prompted by the Holy Ghost to listen to the bishop and go again. So a few days later we went and about a week later Colin was offered a job. I definatly have a testimony of inspired leaders and am so thankful to have people praying on our behalf. These last few months have definatly been a trial for us, but like they always say what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger!

She's getting so big!!

Here are just a couple of pictures of Hayden. I put her hair up in pony tails and put her bangs down. She is getting so big and is turning into a little girl!! I think she is starting to lose her baby fat too; you probably can't tell, but as her mother I notice each little roll as it disappears.
She is learning what a tantrum is and what it can/can not do for her. We have had to start spelling things out because she can understand EVERYTHING we say such as...snack, bath, outside, eat, ect. We can not put on our coats or shoes without her immediately wanting to put on hers and go bye bye. She is turning into my little shadow and goes where ever I go. She loves to hold my hand when we walk even if it is just down the hall. She is sweet and cuddly; she gives the best slobbery/snotty kisses and blows the cutest kisses when she is saying bye. I love this little girl more than anything in the world!!
