Random goings-on

So we are still at Grandma and Granpa Wells' house. It feels as if we will never stop being house guests!!! We are still waiting on a few job leads and hope they will come through soon! In the meantime we are puting up everything that gets ripe in the garden...including over 60 jars of salsa so far and some assorted peaches, jams, and pasta sauce. The canning is keeping me sane right now thankfully.

Ellie and Jared at the Payson Lakes.... look theres my leg, grrrr!

Just a sampling of some "kodak moments" that happened between Ellie's birth to after Christas:

Brody's halloween costume that he insisted on wearing all week before and after halloween.
Jared and Brody "doing homework" together (classic)....

Brody was so quietly playing in the pantry so we checked on him and.... powdered sugar everywhere!

So stylin!... We were bored at home during the priesthood session, and we found some fun accessories...

Still alive and well at Grandma and Grandpa Wells'

Well, we are still waiting to hear from Kiewit about a possible job opening that Jared interviewed for. It has been an anxious few months here in Utah. We are enjoying the being done with school but obviously are anxious to be in our own place and Jared to be working. In the meantime Dad and mom are keeping Jared busy with the promotion of the gardening book and odd jobs here and there around the house. We are very grateful to be at their house while we wait. Here are a few recent photos of Ellie and Brody.. so cute!...

Hellooo little Ellie Jane!

Almost done!

Jared is almost done with school and I am almost done with this pregnancy! But... we had a great summer in Utah/Idaho and here are some of my favorite photos:
