Da Da

So I have to post this before I forget. Wednesday night me and Jeremy were sitting on the bed with Stetler and he was making alot of noises and doing the thing were they hit their mouth with their fist and make that noise then all of the sudden he stops and starts saying Da Da. It was so cute and he said it alot more but, I wish it would have been Ma Ma! Anyways just wanted to share. Happy reading I have posted alot lately so enoy

First day of Preschool

I know I am way behind but thats my life. Chyanne started preschool on September 4th. I have to say that it is kind of nice to have only two kids for 21/2 hours two days a week. She told me that she is big because she has already gone to preschool before and so I know what I am doing so don't worry! It made me laugh but then I wanted to cry because I want her to still need me and not to grow up. Her teacher this year is Mrs. Karen and she already is in love with her.


This is her new backpack. She had to have me take a picture, but hey it is way cute!

Chyanne and Tayler are in the same preschool. I know, I know, why would we want to torture the teachers like that? I guess we are hoping they can teach them to get along better then us!

STRESS!!!

Seriously I am going flippin crazy so I figure if I blog about it, it might make me feel better. Since my surgery I feel like I can't do anything probably because I can't. Bathing my kids is terrible especially since Stetler has had two today because he thought it would be funny to poop every where. Making bottles, getting breakfast, lunch etc. is hard and I have gained a huge respect for women in wheelchairs or just with handicaps that do this all day every day. I do have to say I have gotten pretty good at hopping on one foot and pulling Stetler around on a blanket. I have so much anxiety because I am not one to just sit and watch my poor husband struggle between juggling work, dinner, me and the kids. I have been so sick and in so much pain that I don't think I can take much more. My birthday was Sunday and I spent it throwing up and just being miserable. Stetler has had a fever since Sunday night and won't let me put him down or he cries which is not normal for him and not easy for me who can't freakin walk so hopefully he gets feeling better. Anyways I just had to vent a little so thanks for listening and Thank you Jeremy and Ronda for being so helpful. I think if it wasn't for Ronda taking my kids during the day for a few hours I would have committed Harry Carry a week ago. Now if I could just get rid of the stupid crutches we would be doing pretty good.

Happy 2nd Birthday Rylee!

Rylee turned two on August 29, 2008. She had a birthday party at our house with family and friends. On her birthday I took her to Walmart and let her pick out anything in the toy section that she wanted for the top of her cake and surprise surprise she picked horses. She was so excited to get home and help me put them on her cake but then pretty mad when she relized that they were staying there until the party! She got lots of new toys and books and when we sang happy birthday to her she blew out her candles all by her self. Me and Jeremy bought her one of those little 4 wheelers. Man is she crazy she will put her feet down and make the tires spin out then put them up and take off, running into anything and everything that gets in her path. Rylee is such a joy to have in our family and we love her so much. We just got back from Alaska and she is talking so much now and has just really grown up. We were watching tv the other night and I was flipping through the channels and past the simpsons and she looks over at me and says mom cartoons watch cartoons. It really caught me off guard because I didn't know she knew what cartoons were! So I found a nicer cartoon on tv and let her watch it. Happy Birthday Ru Bugs we love you!

July 24th

On the 24th we went to the parade. Of course Jeremy had to work so we sat by my good friend Jessica and her family. When the parade started Rylee was convinced that she was staying in the stroller but finally got out after Jessica gave her some chocolate. After that they were best friends!

They were catching alot of candy and had no where to put it so Jessica had Rylee put it in her pocket in the front of her dress. Here she is stuffing some in there. It was pretty cute!

Chyanne brought her cinderella purse and stuffed that full of her candy. She was so fun because she made sure she waved at everyone in the parade and most people noticed her to and she got alot of them to blow her kisses. She also got Rylee to wave.

Here is Chyanne and Rhielynn with Belle. Man were they in heaven or what not only did they get their picture with a princess but they got a hug to! Chyanne still talks about how she met a real life princess!

Chyanne made sure she stopped Cinderella and Snow White also so we could get a quick picture.

Later that night we went with Billy and Robin to the cemetery to watch the fireworks. The girls love to watch them. Rylee kept oohing and awing over all of them and pointing. Chyanne just watched them with the boys. Stetler missed the whole show because he was sawing logs!!!

Do you think they are a little excited. The waiting about killed them.

Cute Pictures 7/17/08

This picture is Jeremy Junior because when me and Jeremy were dating the kid always wore his hat backwards. (should have taken the sign then and ran!!!)



Chyanne decided she'd had enough of Stetler getting his picture taken and wanted in on the action. Don't ask me why Rylee is wearing a bib. She is way into putting them on lately but I am way impressed that it's pink because she usually picks Stetler's that say tough guy on it but it does fit her personality strangly enough!

Ya I would be scared for my life to little guy. Thats a rough bunch!

Ute Stampede

Ya I know it has been awhile. On July 12th we decided to pack up the family and go to the rodeo. I must say that is was way better than Spanish Forks and we will being going again next year. The girls were kind of a pain in the butt at first but towards the end Rylee wanted Sharon. So she went and sat by her for awhile and had alot of fun. I thought that it was pretty cool when they did the hide race and the girls rode on the hides! Also the guy that drops into the arena with the flag was awesome. It was nice to see how fast the national guardsmen got the flag off of the ground. Also they turned off the lights and did a couple of fireworks before they started the bulls and got everybody pumped up. All in all a good ole time! Oh ya Stetler was an angel but that really isn't surprising.

Major Bummer

Last Wednesday I was playing in my first softball game when I twisted my knee. It kind of hurt but I didn't think nothing of it. Then the second game that night I was running and it popped! That night it was really swollen and hard to walk. Well I decided I better get it checked because coed softball and Alaska are right around the corner. I went to the dr today and I kind of knew going into it that it wasn't good but had high hopes also. They twisted it around and couldn't find an end to my ACL, so they took some xrays. Ya I tore my ACL ligament again and have to have surgery in three weeks. Can someone just shoot me now. How on earth can I go through knee surgery again especially mastering crutches and a baby. Ya right. Anyways I thought I would vent a little because I just cry other wise.

Girls Night!

My niece Amber is staying with for two weeks so I decided we needed to have some fun. So I called Christy and asked her if her, Jessie and her niece Payton wanted to come over and have a gilrs night of doing nails, makeup and hair. She said that they would love to. Then that day I went to the park with Jessica and invited them to so they decided to come also.

We started by doing everyones nails. Chyanne took the liberty of painting me and Christy's finger nails and Rhielyn did Jessica's. You would have thought they had died and gone to heaven. Here is a picture I bet you can't pick them out! (Jessica and Rhielyn left before we took these pictures.)

After we were done with nails it was getting late but the girls insisted we needed to do our makeup. We didn't get pictures of that. Then it was on to the hair. I did Chyanne's, Christy did Jessie's and Amber's, Jessie did mine, Amber did Christy's and Chyanne did Payten's as she hid behind the door so nobody could see her because she said she look like a dork! Payten ended up throwing a couple of clips in Chyanne's hair to as you can see.

We had a BLAST and plan on doing it again soon. Oh ya we watched Enchanted while we were doing our nails and didn't get to bed until 1:30 AM.

Before Jeremy left for basketball he made a bet with Jessie. He told her that if she painted her nails green then she could paint his pink when he got home. Well you can see who won the bet and he even went to work with it on!!! Thanks for being a good sport babe I love you!

4th of July

On the 4th we went down to mom and dads and decorated for Sharon and Roberts wedding and then we had a BBQ. My dad made the best siscabobs (I have no clue if that is spelled right). I think I ate about 7 or 8 of them. Then we headed to artic circle for ice ceam and then went to the resevoir to watch the fireworks. I was ok but they were to small up there. When we got home we could not get in our drive way because the neighbors we trying to clean up the mess of fireworks they had. The next morning we had fireworks all over our yard, on our roof, in our carport and one on our brand new trampoline with a small burn hole. Can you say Someone is in big trouble. I went over to the neughbors and talked to them but they didn't seem to care so now I don't know what to do. All I have to say is one firework on pioneer day and I am calling the cops because I don't mind fireworks but they are out of control. Lets be serious they could have easliy burnt our house down.

Start Smart T-Ball

Chyanne & Tayler streching out before the big game!

This year we signed Chyanne, Tayler & Cadince up for start smart t-ball. It teaches the kids the fundamentals of softball before they start actual t-ball. Can I say you need alot of patients when it comes to this. Chyanne was always way excited until about the end of the first station and then her attention span was about gone. The last two weeks they played actual games and I think they had more fun with that. One more year of this and then it is off to real t-ball YAH!
Chyanne playing the field
Look how far I can hit it!
Tayler hitting the ball (she can hit it pretty dang good)

Ward swim party

We had our ward swimming party on June 27th at SF pool. We ate at the pavillion first and then went swimming. My mom came and watched Stetler so we could enjoy ours girls. The thing that I think surprised me the most was both of the girls loved going down the slide with me (Jeremy wouldn't get out of the water because it was to cold) anyways they are usually big chickens. Faunda came and took a bunch of pictures. All in all it was a good time. By the way before we left Chyanne did talk her dad into taking her down the slide once.

FHE and Fishing

On June 23rd we went up to the resevoir for family home evening with Rod and Christy's family. It was alot of fun. The kids were catching a ton of fish which we planned on releasing but the little buggers kept swallowing the hooks so we started giving them to the people next to us who were having a rough go at it (worms are the secret). Well we finally had to start keeping them for ourselves because we were catching way to many for one family to take home. Chyanne and Chance ran around and kept climbing the hill and then running down it, it was way to cute. Rylee enjoyed picking on Grandpa and I think it was her goal to eat or dump out every otter pop Christy brought! Jessie, Austin, Christy, Jeremy & Rod pretty much were the fishermen and of course I ran the camera. Last but not least I told Jessie to put her feet in the water so I could take that awesome picture of her and low and behold as she was sitting there she caught another fish it was pretty funny!! Thanks for the funny night everyone.
