Back to work

I just started my job at Cassia Regional. Today is the end of my second week of work. It is great to be here. It is less stressful and I am really enjoying it. Kyle is on his way back. West Minico had it's retreat on Monday which is basically a day long staff meeting to discuss who will be teaching what classes and how they will work together. Kyle is probably going to be starting coaching middle school cross country tomorrow. I say probably because we have not heard if he has been approved yet. He will basically be Dad's assistant coach in charge of the middle school students. We are both just getting back into the rhythm of things. Wes will be going back to daycare soon. I don't think he will mind. He needs to see other people sometimes besides he likes his babysitter and he gets to hang out at the high school with Nana (his new name for Grandma Dawna).

Back from Vacation

A couple of weeks ago we decided to take a vacation and get away for a while. We went down to St. George, UT for three days, then spent one day in Ogden on our way back home. While in St. George we visited Brigham Young's winter home. The rest of the time we just kind of rested and shopped it was nice not to have to do anything specific. On Wednesday we started driving back towards Idaho. We went to Hogle Zoo that afternoon with Wesley. He really enjoyed looking at all of the animals. He did not enjoy statues of animals and would start to whine if we got to close to one. He also did not enjoy the misting water throughout the park. He would always cover his head and hide from the water when ever we got close to them. He probably enjoyed the cats and the monkeys the best. He thought the monkeys were silly. There was a small black footed cat that Wesley loved because it was still just a kitten. After the zoo we checked into a hotel in Ogden that was tremendously disappointing after staying in the condos for three days. It was functional though. The next morning we got up and went to the Ogden Dinosaur park. We were a little worried how Wesley would respond to the statues of dinosaurs since he had not liked the statues of animals. There was no reason to worry though because Wes absolutely loved it. He would even growl at the dinosaurs. It was really funny to watch him. The park was pretty neat. They had a museum inside that had dinosaur skeletons and some animatronic dinosaurs that moved and roared at each other. Out in the park they had dinosaur statues with little plaques explaining what type of dinosaur it was and when it lived and what it ate. It was interesting. They also had a playground with dinosaur slides and such. Wes seemed to enjoy the day. After the park we got back in the car and came home. Wesley really does not enjoy car rides. He does not sleep well in the car and gets grumpy since Mommy gets carsick and will not play with him. He was also really happy to see our home when we got back. It was a fun couple of days, but it is always nice to come back home.

I was home for another week or so before I started my job at Cassia. Monday was first day and Wes decided to run a fever and stay up all night Sunday night. I got about three hours of sleep prior to my first day and managed to wake up late. I was supposed to be at the Hospital at 7 am and I woke up at 6:41 am. I was only 4 minutes late though. I obviously had to eat in the car and had my hair in a ponytail but I was there. I did a lot better on Tuesday and was even 5 minutes early. Then again Wes did better also. It is nice to be home by 6 pm and spend some time with Wes before he has to get ready for bed. It is great to be at the hospital and enjoy my work more.

Kyle is gearing up to go back to school in a few weeks. He is just going to be teaching 7th grade History this year (last year he had one period of 8th grade History). We went in today (on my day off) and fixed up Kyle's classroom. Wes and I only get a few more weeks with Kyle at home everyday. Wes has loved having his daddy home for the summer. Oh well, such is life.
