Emery County

Allen and the kids were headed to Idaho for A.J.'s baptism when Shaun called Allen with some news we had been waiting for. Allen had been waiting for a chance to apply for a job with the Post Office in which Shaun's friend is the post master. Shaun told him to hurry down to meet with the post master and apply for the job. They were halfway to Pocatello and turned around to head south instead. Unfornately, I had to work all weekend and didn't get to go. They got down there in time for Allen to go to dinner stag with a groupd of Kris and Shaun's friends. Ashton watched the kids for him.

On Friday, Allen did meet with the post master and talked about work things and it sounds like things are going to work out well. Now we just need to wait for the job to post online so that Allen can apply and go through the process.

The kids got to visit and hang out there at Kris and Shaun's. Allen told me that Rock just loved on Kris and Ashton and that he followed Kris everywhere. She has always been so good witht he little ones. While she was cooking dinner she just set him up on the counter next to her and let him help. He was in heaven. He was a little leary of Shaun, though. Just not quite sure what to think of him. At one point, Rock was playing with the mini Littlest Pet Shops and somehow he opened one of the containers and a little pet fell onto his shirt. Rock freaked out not knowing what it was. The only person sitting there next to him was Uncle Shaun, and Shaun freaked out too, not knowing what it was. He thought it was some wort of bug and it took him a while to flip it off Rock because he didn't know what it was. When he realized it was just a toy, he took it off Rock's shirt and showe Rock what it was, but by that point Rock was totally petrified of it and just screamed when he saw him. It's a good thing he had such a brave uncle sitting next to him to save him from those scary Littlest Pet Shops!!

The girls said they had lots of fun seeing their cousins and aunt and uncle that they haven't seen too much lately. Sam came home with a new coat from Ashton. I asked whay Ash gave it to her and Sam told me she won it from Ashton as payment for Sam tickling Ashton's back. Then Danni told me Ashton paid her a dollar for tickling Ashton's back. Ashton is a true Wilstead for loving her back tickled so much and being willing to pay for it!!

It was also Gage's birthday over the weekend and I texted him to tell him happy birthday. I also told him I missed him and loved him and he just responded back in a text by saying thanks. I guess he's too old for me to talk to him like that anymore. I can't believe how big he is getting!! What good kids those two are.
