So jesses time home went all to quickly but we were able to do some really fun things...we got to go to a fun little pumpkin patch, we got to hang out with a lot of good friends, we went camping up af canyon...cold but soooo beautiful.... and because jesse came home early we actually got to enjoy him the full three weeks....it was blissful! We are always so glad when daddy comes home! here are some funny things the kidos have been doing and saying lately that i dont want to forget...also some picture of the pumpkin patch and Axil at nine months!
- Azzy - if ever she thinks she might be in trouble, before i can say or do anything she says "Mom...you not mad...you not mad..." usually this helps....She also has another very sweet way of getting out of things if dad says to Azzlyn...."Azzy please dont mommy doesnt like that," she will reply "but mommy is my best friend" or sometimes it doesnt even have to be about me...Aunt Raymie was asking Azzy to not eat a cookie in the living room cuz grandma said no..." and again azzlyns reply was " but my moms my best friend..." its so stinking cute....
- Lu Lu - no matter how many times you say it if Caelyn doesnt want to do something you are asking her to do, in her high pitched voice she will say "what mommy?" so you think she cant hear you ...so you have just repeated yourself ten times... tricky tricky...
-Axil- One of my favorite things with Axil lately is i am seeing this little man in him lately...like if he is sad about something he fights with all his might this little one, not to shed a tear...he will keep his mouth in a tight frown and scrunch his nose and very rarely does he let his cry escape... unless that is mom gives him the overflow of sympathy... :) i cant help it...
- Azzy- Azzlyn when she is mad lately she has this come back for EVERY situation...no matter who the person is no matter what the circumstance might be she will say in a very stern voice "IT'S NOT EVER!" usually an angry march accompanies this.
- Lu Lu - So bless her heart this little gal struggles with constipation...so after a long camping trip and then some without sucsessfully getting her to "go" we loaded her up on miralax and a few hours later jesse found her sitting on the potty with poop all over her legs and toilet....Jesse said when he walked in the bathroom he found her quite concerned while examining herself and what just happend (caelyn is a very particularly clean little girl) he said she looked in the toilet again and then up at him very concerned and said..."daddy...my poo poo melted" poor girl doesn't experience the opposite of constipated very often....
-Axil- So lately one of Axil's FAVORITE toys is cars....we by accident ran into a remote control car race in the parking lot of roberts a couple weeks ago and I laughed so hard because he would follow those little cars with his eyes so carefully that his whole body got into it...and every once in a while he would get frustrated cuz it would make him dizzy.... he also LOVES to play with the wheels on his cars....

SUCH cute kids!! And fun stories! I feel for you with Jesse being gone so much. I'm in the same boat. Darn oil industry! Hope you're all doing GREAT!!
Every time I see pictures of your girls it reminds me of Tasha! When she and my little sister Maren were little and played together all the time, they look JUST like her!
Anyway, Jason works for Schlumberger out here in Wyoming. But he's gone for 2 weeks and then home for one. Not quite as long as a month or two (the longest he's been gone before is 5 weeks) and he's not overseas. He's been with them for over a year now. It's hard! And I only have two little ones to chase after! Plus being far away from family can make it pretty lonely out here when he's gone. Although we have a GREAT ward family and the kids and I try to keep as busy as possible. And we try to have family scriptures and prayer over the phone whenever we can and whenever Jason has enough signal to call home.
Who is Jesse with? What is his schedule usually like?
I know exactly what you mean about trying not to complain but always keeping an eye out for something else. It's so hard to be apart so much of the time. I always tell Jason, it's nice to have his help around the house and with the kids when he's home, but I'm fine doing all of that. That's hard, but it's not the hardest part. It's not having him there to talk to at the end of the day, to share our thoughts and to bounce things off of each other. Not being able to de-stress with each other and just be together. I hate that feeling of the absence of the priesthood in our home when he's gone. A few weeks ago Jack got a concussion and I was so bothered that Jason wasn't here to give him a priesthood blessing. And I HATE that he's not there on Sundays. HATE it! Not just the extra help with the kids during sacrament meeting, but being there together as a family to set the example for the kids, to be fed spiritually as a family. It's so frustrating! And there are other stresses and pressures as well. I try to constantly remind myself how blessed we are to have a steady, stable income in this economy. Because we are SO blessed! But at the same time, it's really hard on us. And I keep reminding myself that we took this job because we prayed about it and felt very strongly that this was what Heavenly Father wanted us to do right now. We are just keeping our eyes open and constantly applying for other jobs and praying and fasting and waiting for Heavenly Father to give us direction. But so far He wants us here. :) So we're here. Too bad we don't live closer. We could be each other's surrogate husband. ;) Oh well. I'm getting pretty good at this long distance relationship stuff so I'm sure I can do the long distance supportive friendship thing well too! Ha ha ha! And P.S. Not too personal at all! I'm an open book.
