Laid off or not!

Okay, some of you might have seen my post yesterday about jeff getting laid off, and another post about him not liking me posting that on facebook.... Anyway, let's clear that mess.

He is NOT laid off, the company he is working for just currently out of work for a little while, and have asked him to take a few days off. It was a mis-communication between us. He called me at lunch yesterday and told me that he had two more days of work, then he is going to sit on his butt at home, he also mentioned that we need to watch how we spend our money, and he need to start looking for side work. From all those information, I really thought he got laid off.

Today, I updated my status saying, "I'm counting my blessings." I guess it concerns some of my friends or they think I'm just losing it . Well, I'm okay! After the status posted yesterday, there were few side job opportunities came up.( I really don't think ppls saw my post and send jobs our way) It helped me to understand that we are going to alright.

I know Heavenly Father is watcing over us, I can just feel it! As long as we are paying our tithing, I know we will be okay. Last year, jeff was laid off, out of employment for 9 months and we were pregnant, had a baby without insurance, and we survived. What's happening is just a little bump in our lives, we will get through it. I'm just so grateful for all the blessings we have in our lives, for all our family and friends who love us and care for us so much, for all the trials in our lives that make us stronger and grown closer as a family and to our Heavenly Father. We are SO blessed!

Jathan's 3rd Birthday Party.

Jathan's brithday is Sep. 16, and we just had a birthday party for him yesterday. Why?? It's because we need to plan the party around BYU football schedule. I was afraid that no one would show up at the party if we do it on a game day. Yes, it is very annoying, and I hope I don't have more kids born around football season. I can't wait to move out of utah, so I don't have to put up with BYU football anymore!

Spiderman was the party theme this year, I decided to make a cake for Jathan as I did for the past two birthday parties , especially after seeing how happy he was to have a dinosaur cake last year. Making a cake is really not my thing, but it's worthy for my little boy. Would you like to see a picture of the spiderman cake I made?The cake was awesome, I was happy about it and Jathan was stunned when he saw the cake, he kept saying:"my spiderman cake! my spiderman cake!"

We had a blast at the party, it was fun to have family and friends over. We will really miss it if we move out of Utah. Thanks everyone for hooking Jathan up with all the nice toys and clothes, what a spoiled kid!

I can't believe Jathan is 3 years old already! 5 more months... we will be giving Brianne her first brithday. Is there anything I can do to stop them from growing so fast? I think "Enjoy the moment" is all I can do for now.

p.s. I have more photos on my facebook.

My Big 3-0 birthday celebration

A lot of people asked me how I felt about turning thirty, honestly it doesn't bother me a bit to be 30 years old. As long as I don't look thirty, I will be okay.

Thanks to my wonderful husband, my b-day was very special and I was surrounded by good friends and family. Jeff took me out for sushi on Friday, and we went to my friend, Jennifer (it was her 30th b-day also) surprise b-day party on Saturday. We celebrated with jeff's family on Sunday, and had a party with friends on Monday night. It was fun and I felt so loved. Really..... turning 30 is not that bad!
