From Washington

Hey guys!! I love all the pictures. i'm still waiting for one of jared in his kohlers outfit :) Anyway Washington is beautiful! it was so blistering hot here for a while and then over night went from 106 to 66. now thats what i'm talkin about. the summer has been so busy. my sister brooke was in town until about a week ago with her 4 kids and 2 dogs. it was pretty much craziness! however having sawyer made it all worth it. jason and i like to refer to him as our son. sawyer adores jason and was always in his arms. he would fall asleep in jasons arms during sunday school and he would stay asleep right through priesthood. those two were pretty dang cute together. half way through brooke's stay my cousin jessica, her husband toni and their daughter indi came to visit. we did everything with them that i wish we had had time to do with you guys. we went to the ocean, tillamook cheese factory, the lake, the original spaghetti factory in portland, walked on the waterfront etc. it was so much fun. i'll have to get jason to post some pictures for you guys.
Jason is still searching for a job as you guys know and i'm working on getting my license up here. we've been pretty lucky that we've both been able to work for my mom's neighbor off and on and i've been able to do some hair for people in the ward but it is getting scary so keep us in your prayers. on the upside i have loved having jason around as much as he has been. i know some days he is going out of his mind with stress and boredome but he does a good job of not letting it show too much because when i start feeling all the stress... well we all know how well i deal with that.
Yesterday the two of us went up to some falls not too far from here and walked around. it was beautiful! it makes me happy when i see how much jason loved the scenery here because i think it's the most beautiful place on earth. it made us both wish we could find my camera, or afford a new one. good thing his phone has a pretty decent camera on it.
Kai seems to be as healthy as ever. he is always kicking the crap out of me. he's a very active little guy, especially at night when i'm trying to go to sleep. but he usually quiets down if jason puts his hand on my stomach. still in the whomb and already obeys his daddy. he's gonna be a good one!
i got to teach relief society on sunday and it went really well. i loved it! i went about 3 minutes over so i don't know that they'll ask me to do it again but it was so fun. i love teaching. mom wasn't there because she had already left for utah but darla and meagan both came. i know i was talking way fast during the whole thing but there was a lot to cover. revelation is just such an amazing gift that we've been given.
we love and miss you guys daily. hope you're all doing well.
