Lately, we have just been hanging out!
No, literally!!
Ryan hooked Paxton up to the cherry picker so that he could fly. The kid is so much into superheroes right now that its all we talk about with him. All superheroes! Iron man, batman, spider man, superman- you name it! Sometimes I wish he would just stick with good ol' Paxman!
We have been hanging out a lot though. Ryan and I took the boys to the bakery today to pick out a treat. They had a great time, they felt like really big boys while they ordered what they wanted. Here they are chowing their goodies on the porch, just hanging out!
We have been playing with Abbey every night. It has been so nice to be together. The weather has allowed us to hang outside. We have gone to the park, gone on walks and just plain hung out in the back yard.
Here we are hanging out in the back yard, laughing our heads off. Paxton got the camera here and had to take some shots. He is pretty good. I might have to stick him on camera duty!
Gauge is taking to Abbey more and more every day. Only problem right now is that he has a fixation on her water. He dumps it out whenever I fill it...
Ryan and Paxton making each other laugh-
My busy body! 
Me and my boys!
The boys are getting big... That's a 35 12.5 x 18!
Thing have been great though. We feel as though we have such blessed lives. Wonderful family, wonderful friends! I have been able to relax and Ryan has been home with us, we are together 24/7. I never thought this would happen! In fact, at this point we thought I might be up in Idaho working by now and Ryan would be finishing school down here. Thankfully that hasn't been the case. I did not pass my hiring process with Ada county. My pride hasn't let me post that yet...they won't tell me why. They just sent an email telling me that they decided not to go with me and they aren't allowed to tell me why.
I know it has to do with the polygraph though because they haven't called my references and they haven't done my background-they haven't even gotten my fingerprints done yet. When I called and talked to HR the guy (he was really nice) he told me that if I got the email telling me they decided to do something else that it was probably the polygraph. I told him that I was baffled. I know I am qualified and I plain old didn't lie..so what happened? He really didn't know and said that it was possibly something in my interview for the polygraph.
I have known that I didn't get the job for about a week now and have actually lost sleep trying to figure out what I must have said or done wrong and I cannot come up with anything.
They have done a really good job making me feel like I must be a bad person but Ryan tells me that just isn't true, that there has to be something else going on behind the scenes. He is a good husband!
This news actually makes me sad for obvious reasons, but happy too. I have had to realize that I just plain old don't have a job! I have time to be with my family!
Last night we went to the park across the street. The air was warm and the wind was blowing. We ran with Abbey, we raced each other - I kicked Ryan's butt! We played Hide and seek and we just enjoyed each other! I just have to thank the Lord for my blessed life! I have it so good!
Life is good!
This is my boys giving the thumbs up! It's a well placed photo...we also got knew wheels! :)
Thank you all for your support and your kind comments! We love you all so much!!

Maybe it is a sign...time to come back to Provo Dispatch! Just kidding we really miss you in here. Hope all goes well with your family and you get everything you are wishing for! MISS YOU!
Oh Whit, don't feel too bad. There is always a reason for things like this! You are a stellar person, anyone can see that. The Lord is so aware of you and your sweet little family, He is protecting you and leading you down a road that will bring you many blessings. I have had to tell myself this many times with our current house situation - our house has been on the market for a year and nothing has happened! It's so hard to feel positive, but I just have to trust that everything will work out. That's the best we can do, right? Don't lose any more sleep over it, you guys will be fine! Love you so much, I'll give you a call soon!
hey whitney! i guess it's been a while since i missed shelby being born. sheesh..sorry. sooo excited for you though! she's gorgeous and you look incredible. let me know if you need anything please. brian and i are in primary now so i never see anyone.
I'm totally with Jewels. Things like that ALWAYS happen for a reason -- and I'm coming to realize that in a lot of cases, it's about someone else and not me(or in this case you!) at all! Maybe someone else needed the job to feed their family or maybe you would have been in an awful work environment and been miserable . . . or maybe there is just something a million times better for you! You're amazing and I'm sure the Lord is looking out for your awesome family!
Could you move here already?????? I am ready to hang out with you guys.....well after we move tomorrow!!!!!!
I think it has all been said to perfection. We agree! We love you Whit and can't wait to see what really lies in store for you all.
That makes me so mad ADA County is HIDING something. Steve says you have the right to appeal and to be retested on the polygraph. And you have the right to see the results of the polygraph test. If they are just hiring someone else then they need to be honest about it and not leave you thinking it's something you did.
You are such a good person! DO NOT beat yourself up! The big man upstairs knows you and your needs and will watch out for you and your wonderful little family
I'm sorry! I know that that is really hard and I know it took a lot of courage to apply and it's always harder when you put yourself out there like that and then you feel rejected. You are an amazing person and there is a reason you didn't get that job. It's always hard to see "the forest though the trees" but one day you will look back and understand why this was not the job for you right now. There is a reason, you are very capable and qualified so there is another reason that you didn't get that job. I'm glad that you are finding the positive in all of this. You are such a great mom, wife and friend. Thank you for sharing this. I know it's not easy to share things like this, but know that it strengthens all of us. We love you and everything will work out! xoxo
Sorry about the job. YOu are great! Good luck!! We will miss you guys!
That is a hard blow!!!! We think your wonderful and I would agree with the other comments, the Lord has a plan for you, its just not always clear. He does that so we get down on our knees, where he wants us to be. It is a humbling experience, and often painful but we learn and grow and always come out a better person! We love you!!!! SHelby is so beautiful, wish we could hold her and love on her!
