THE SPIRIT OF GOD!

2010-09-07T02:01:00.000-07:00

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, GRANDMA STOKES. SHE HAS SHOWN ME NOTHING BUT UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. WE WERE SO EXCITED TO HEAR THE TEMPLE WAS GOING TO BE BUILT RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM HER HOUSE, SINCE SHE'S LOST HER SIGHT, IT WONT BE TOO MUCH WORK WITH THE HELP OF RICHARD TO CROSS THE STREET AND GO SIT IN THE TEMPLE ALL DAY IF SHE'D LIKE. WE ONLY PRAY AND HOPE HER HEALTH CONTINUES AND SHE IS STILL ALIVE TO SEE THE TEMPLE COMPLETED AND ENJOY THE BLESSINGS OF BEING SO CLOSE TO IT.
This was a special moment caught between mother and daughter, while singing my favorite Hymn "The Spirit of God". I was crying like a baby by the end thinking of our pioneers and the first temple dedication and all they endured and what the Lord has given to us by placing this temple 4 blocks up from my house. I also was torn, because I was able to witness this special moment between mother and daughter and thought of my children with me and what a great experience it was for them to experience what was going on. I thought of all the pioneers who sacrified and buried children along the way and finally were at peace when there Temple was finished and they were able to be sealed to the children they had lost along the way. :( After the dedication we went back to Grandma's for Lunch. It was so yummy and nice to be together as a family!

In true Chloe fashion you came into this world seeking adventure, and couldn't wait to take your First Helicopter Ride. Not even Six Hour old. (you get that from your daddy's side, very daring :))

After you were Stable to make the flight they brought you into my room, to say goodbye. I took out my i.v and followed you out the back door and watched you get onto the helicopter, the hardest thing i've ever experienced was having you torn from me. I got to touch you for a second.GOD BE WITH YOU TILL WE MEET AGAIN.... DADDY AND DR. LISH GAVE YOU AND MOM AND AMAZING BLESSING!
Poor Annie was up all night laboring with me, then she had just enough time to run and print me off a picture of you and she was back to care for me that night. I held you all night until I was discharged the next day at 7 a.m. You spend a week in the NICU

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHLOE ANNE!

The exciting yet scarry news my water Broke, we tried for two years to get pregnant with you Chloe, 8 Months on fertality. Mom had a long, hard pregnancy, so I was relieved it would be over soon. But Mother intuition told me From the day I found out I was Pregnant, there would be something way wrong at birth. So I Did what was best for all of us, I had The best Nurse Annie your aunt with me Throughout the entire labor. You were Very, Very sick when you were born and by listening to the lord you were spared!! No one was able to start your i.v. and you needed it immediately........ Aunt Annie still swears There was Help from above....but Chloe your Aunt Annie saved your life and helped get you to where you needed to be. ALWAYS LISTEN TO THE PROMPTINGS FROM THE LORD, HE WILL NEVER LEAD YOU ASTRAY! Little did we know Ellie was in Annie's belly also. We Named you Chloe ANNE AFTER ANNIE, HER REAL NAME IS CHRISTY ANN.

2010-09-03T02:13:00.000-07:00

I always wanted a Holiday Baby but since Noah was due at the end of May, I knew I wouldn't get 6ne. The Lord suprised us and at barely 32 weeks on St. Patricks Day (March 17th, 2007) Our sweet Noah came into Our Lives! He was very sick. This was the First Picture we got to Take of him 10 Hours after Delivery, when we saw him for More than a second. I was sick with all the Tape They Put In his beautiful hair. lol

Three days later, I was able To hold him for the first time, but only for 5 min every 12 hours.

Daddy Peeking in on his little man, weeks later, when he was moved to a "big boy bed". Love This Picture!
Noah Free of all his monitors Except His Feeding tube, Getting ready to come home after almost 9 LONG weeks!!!!!

The First Time Chloe and Noah met, She knew we kept leaving her for something but after 9 weeks of waiting my heart melted when they First saw each other......it was as they had Known each other all along!

Picaso!!!!

Chloe and Dad

Noah because he's so small."Gracie's big because she has so much trunk in her trunk mom"Chloe and Mommy holding hands because were best friends

So, Noah is almost 100 % potty trained. Obviously Chloe was in need for some attention. I caught her squating and peeing on my bed. So she was sent to time-out and then downstairs for a nap. Two hours later she came walking up the stairs. When I went to tuck her in that night she pulled out these master pieces!!!! I was so amazed! These are so dear to me I put them in the fireproof safe so they will never get destroyed. (P.S. chloe's never seen the simpsons but Tyson looks just like Homer :))

HAPPY 28TH BIRTHDAY BABE!!!

Happy Birthday Dad, Your my favorite babe!

Noah Gave His binki to the binki fairy!!!!

2010-02-19T11:10:00.000-08:00

Noah Gathered up all his binkis and put them in an envelope and we placed them in the mailbox to mail to the binki fairy. A few hours later the door bell rang and the binki fairy gave Noah this awsome Dinosaur book in exchange for his binkis. He has been without a binki for TWO weeks now and everynight I have to show him the babies the binki fairy took them too (our cousin Kristens triplets) He sees the pictures of them and says Milley, Maddison and Marley. He loves seeing that he gave his binkis to new babies.

Noah was so excited for the book the binki fairy gave him! He loves Dinosaurs!

Random Pictures

2010-02-19T10:59:00.000-08:00

Okay so it always makes me crazy when I read blogs and they say....I found my child climbing on the stairs the counter inc, and it happens post after post. I know kids are crazy but why were there parents not watching them and then it happened to me. I heard Grace in her crib first thing in the morning and let her fuss for about five minutes. Then Chloe brought Gracie into me this is what I found. Chloe had dressed them both in there swimsuits and told me they were ready to go swimming.
Chloe in Her favorite shirt. Aunt Jamie gave her a Thriller shirt and she now lives in it!

Cant wear the shirt without the heels!

Since I posted so many sad looking pictures of Gracie when she was sick I thought I would post this one a few days after being discharged back to herself.

It tradition for us to go to build a bear and bring the kids home a new bear because we miss them so much! Chloe got a Hello Kitty that sings the Jonas Brothers, Noah got a horse he loves "horsies" right now and it neighs, and chloe got a cute pink bear daddy choose for her which the kids named "Racer". They all love them and even switched up Chloe played with the horse and Noah loved Hello Kitty. Thank you so much nana and papa Susie and Dan for taking the kids overnight for us.

So we always sing this song to Gracie (Black eyed peas). Today we went to her one year well baby appointment and the poor girl got SIX shots! She cried and cried for three hours than fell asleep sucking on the sucker Dr. Lish gave her:). Turn out we were right all along. She was in the 25th percentile for weight and 90th for height. All her Fat is in her butt:) She has this long tiny torso with no waist and a ghetto booty longer than daddy's hand vertically:) We love you "Racer". Your perfect just the way you are!!!!
Our sweet girl did not want to move her legs for hours after! Sweet baby.

Santa Baby!!

2009-12-22T16:34:00.000-08:00

Dear Santa,

Chloe would like me to write you one more time to assure the proper delivery and timely arrival of her presents. Chloe requests "American Doll Ruthy" you know "Kit Richards" best friend!? And could you please ask Heavenly Father to bring my "Babe" Michael Jackson back to life. (She's moon-walking as we speak). :) Noah requests only a football so thats fairly easy it doesn't require any brining another person back to life. Gracie wants a good night sleep:) Mom the same as Gracie and for the love if were brining people back to life please bring the old Tiger Woods back the one I grew up admiring and watched turned pro. (I'm trying to raise a son here, come on be and example). Tyson would like a trip to Hawaii and a second degree sunburn along with the trip. Thats it! Merry Christmas to all. P.S. Chloe says don't freeze your butt off at the North Pole! -US

in the meadow we can build a snowman!

2009-12-22T16:24:00.001-08:00

The kids were dying to build a snow man and I loathe doing it alone so we called "Grandpa Butt-crack" to our rescue. I think he enjoyed it more than the kids:)

Papa and Chloe arguing. They argue more than dad and I Do :)Our "Noey-Man"

Gracie's First Birthday

2009-12-22T16:15:00.001-08:00

I can't believe my baby is already one. It seems like yesterday she was born. I can't remember her being only 5 pounds 8 ounces. We were so happy when Tyson's plans changed and he got to be home for her special day!
I enjoyed my entire cake sparing one bite for Mom and one Dad.

Obviously Sugar shock!!

TEAM JACOB!

2009-11-27T00:44:00.000-08:00

K....so November 19th at 6:50 we went to see new moon. My sister Jamie helped arrange for three theaters at Walkers Cinema to show the movie before the premiere at 12:00 am. I have to say Jamie has been trying to get me to like Twilight forever. She bought me the first book to read when I was on bedrest for Four and a half months with Gracie. I wasn't a huge fan of the book certain parts I liked other were just too un-real for me. I finished all but the last 100 pages and I just couldn't get any further. Maybe it was the constant contractions or the irritability having to lay around and mark off each day on the calendar trying to stay pregnant just ONE more day. Whatever it was I hate, hate, hated the book! I rented the movie and thought it was okay very un-realistic but didn't mind it. So I was DREADING to go to this moive. Jamie was so cute to try to get me excited but I seriously thought "I'd rather wash my mouth out with a revolver than go see New Moon". :) ;) So okay Jamie....You finally did it you made me a fan!!! It was so fun, LOVED it. Totally team Jacob! So Hot want to touch the Hiney!!!! :) It was so much fun thanks Mom, Dad, Jamie, Annie, Monka, and Marci for coming with and making me excited to go. There was NO irritability this time except....I think Bella should be with Jacob! Who wouldn't want to be?

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

2009-11-23T18:15:00.001-08:00

Chloe has been having so much fun in pre-school. She made this darling turkey for Mom and Dad. We are so proud of you. You are growing up so fast and you're so smart! We thought this was the perfect message to send everyone for thanksgiving. We have so much to be thankful for..Our beautiful kids, The Lord for always protecting us and always being mindful of us. Our Families they have saved us so many times in the past three years they are always at our beck n call and ready to step in with all our (my) health problems. And I'm most especially thankful for my dear sweet husband and the Priesthood power he holds and exercises in our home. We are so blessed!

Chloe also made this at preschool and is going to eat her Thanksgiving dinner off of it :)

She has a darling poem that goes with it... The turkey is a funny bird, it's head goes wobble, wobble. But all it knows is just one word GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE!

Nursery

2009-11-23T18:08:00.000-08:00

Tyson and I have had so much fun in the nursery at Church. Their are 3 other leaders but two of them just had babies and the other just got a new job and works sundays. So Ty has been helping me. It was so fun...Ty and I were Nursery Leaders in our home ward before we were married and then when we got married we were Nursery leaders for two years in our first ward, Now we are in nursery again. It brought back so many memories! Both previous callings we had no kids and now two of our kids are in nursery with us. I guess the Lord wants me around children :) I work with the newborns in the Nursery on the Labor and Delivery Unit, I work in the Nursery at church and then I go home to a Nursery full of kids:) It's been really fun for us were grateful for all of our callings!

The Story of my life in just one Picture!

2009-11-23T17:55:00.001-08:00

Found this at work and it was amazing how fitting it was to my life! So if I forget anything or ask 100 times what day is that? I think it's due to 3 pregnancies and a whole crew of kids. My brain is fried!

Happy Birthday!

2009-11-23T17:51:00.000-08:00

Happy Birthday to Levi (Nov. 22nd) he's 9. And also to Sean (Nov. 23rd). We love you both and hope you had a great birthday.

Gracie's Walking!!!!!

2009-11-23T17:28:00.000-08:00

We pulled out the walker today. Grace has been standing for a LONG time in the middle of the room by herself. Chloe and I timed her and she made it to six minutes. So we decided she could probably walk on her own. She's been walking along furniture since she was seven months. We pulled out the walker and she wasn't to sure at first.

Two steps later she was walking and pushing it ONE handed.

Ahhh...Haaa. by the time I got to the other end of the front room Grace had mastered it. She was THIS close to taking her first step alone. The next day she did it...My last baby took her first step. What a happy but sad day. Were running out of our "first's". This Thanksgiving will be her last "First Holiday".

Craft night at Annie's and new Jammies

2009-11-23T17:18:00.000-08:00

Three Little monkey's Jumping in Gracie's Crib. Luckily no one fell out and broke their head(s).

Go Mariners!

2009-11-13T15:59:00.000-08:00

My Uncle Rick is the trainer for the Seattle Mariners. He recently came back to town for a long awaited visit. It was so nice spending time with him, and getting to know him again. It was so kind of him to send Noah a jersey. We were going to give it to him for Christmas but mom saw how cute it was and couldn't wait to see it on. Dad was a little upset. But once he saw Noah pulling the GQ poses he forgot all about it :)

Noah was just as excited as Mommy to wear the "baseball guy" shirt. He was smiling for hours. Thanks Uncle Rick you made our day and it was so kind of you!

I know it's a little late but this is a picture of Noah and I watching the final Yankees game. Since A-Rod once played for the Mariners and I'm a huge New York Knicks fan, we had the cheer for A-Rod. (Plus he still makes me blush like a little school girl when I first met him at spring training in Las Vegas years ago playing poker :)) Since Daddy is working 5 days a week in Vernal (5 hours away). It's been getting to Noah a little being the only boy amongst three fiesty girls. He has been wanting to paint his nails hot pink and fix his hair like "Co-Anne's". Mom's been a little concerned for him. (I know it's only because he doesn't have a male influence around alot and watches us). Needless to say Mom's been putting the girls to sleep early and Noah and I watch Sports on TV. He loved Baseball and Football he now wants to be a "Quarter Back" when he grows up. I think it's great but I hope he chunks up....He's almost three and only has 4 pounds on his sister that's turning one. He finally hit 22 pounds! We also love watching basketball and golf which is so fun for me because daddy isn't a sports fan, Noah is now teaching daddy how to play football and basketball. But I have to say Noah's favorite show is Nitro Circus Live...He Love, Love, Love's ,Travis Pastrana. Like Father Like son. I think the love of Motorcross runs in the Scothern's Blood. Daddy may not like Sports but you sure can't keep him away from Motorcross. Which is nice for me because I'm learning all about it right along with Noah. Thank you Ty for introducing us to this awesome sport! We Love our daddy and all the hard work and long hours he works for us, sacrificing time away from the kids and missing out on all of Gracie's "First's" to provide for us. He is the best husband I could ever ask for! We don't give him enough credit I mean come on who wants to live in Vernal 5 days a week. It's smaller than Brigham and everything closes at 9 pm. SERIOUSLY!

"Time flies when you're having fun, can you believe it? I'm turning one!"

This year for Halloween we dressed up as Peter Pan family. Thanks to Ty for being such a good sport! Ty was Mr. Darling, Noah-Peter Pan, Grace-Tiger Lilly, Clo-Tinkerbell, Me-Wendy. We had so much fun and the kids were spoiled rotten with treats from Grandma and Grandpa's!
