Hidden Treasures

A few weeks ago I was looking at Kevin's phone, and he has a lot of fun pictures and videos he's been keeping from me and my beautiful blog. I finally got him to send them to me. Here are some of my favorites.

I knew about this one because this is the picture Kevin uses for his Wallpaper.

Lately I've been a little sad about how my baby isn't a baby anymore, so I am loving the baby pictures we have of him.

The boys love Opa's drums.

My kids seem so excited to meet Woody and Jessie. Just look at those faces.

First carousel ride on a horse instead of a bench.

This boy loves books.

I asked Kevin to take this picture, and as soon as he took out his camera, the baby said "Chee" just like his brother and sister do for pictures. He's learning the drill.

This picture is my most favorite. When Rebecca was 39 3/4 inches tall, we tried to sneak her on every 40 inch ride at Disneyland. The ONE ride we got her on was Tower of Terror. As you can see, she hated it. I love how Kevin and the lady next to her are just laughing at her.

And lastly, we went camping in Mammoth, CA for the 4th of July with Kevin's family. There was enough snow that they still had one lift open. We tried to get pictures of the people coming down the mountain on the 4th of July in shorts and bikini tops, but we didn't get a chance since they closed the lift before we got back from town. I took these pictures on July 5th, and that's when I noticed all of these great pictures that were being kept from me. I'm glad I finally got a hold of them.

The Good News?

The good news is that Kevin has a job. A guy in our ward got him a job as a Property Services Officer. He fills in for guys who go on vacation or call in sick who are bellman, valet parkers, and security officers for Park Towers condominiums. He started yesterday, he worked today, and he will work tomorrow through Tuesday. We didn't expect that much from just "filling in", so we are thrilled with how much they are having him work already. And they are willing to work around his school schedule, which is exactly the kind of job he was looking for.

The bad news?

The bad news is that he is not going to be home as much as he has been for the past four months. We've LOVED having Kevin/daddy around all the time. Last year Kevin worked in Sacramento five days a week, and people would say to me, "Well at least he has a job." And I would think in my mind, "I would rather he be unemployed then do this anymore." I got my wish, and I was right. Sure we have been really poor, but I've been so much happier in the past four months in poverty than I ever was when Kevin was in Sacramento during the week and we had money.

But bills must be paid, so he is doing this job AND going to school, and I am back to not having him around all the time again. I'm glad we at least got four months together, and I am grateful to better understand what is most important to me in this world.
