Granny Rapier

This is my Granny Rapier (great grandma) we needed to get somethings from my grandparents who were visiting her at the time (8-19-11). I didn't have my camera only my cell phone so it is a little fuzzy. She is 93 yrs old and can't see anymore or really hear. I hadn't seen her for a while because we just don't make it down to the valley that often and plus when they have the one day reunion we usually have soccer or something going on. When we do get to see her it is always nice to get a photo with the boys so they can remember her.

Just to remember

Today when I went to pick Chase up from preschool he told me I didn't cry mom. I said," That is awesome." We get out to the car and he tells me Mr. Jared is mean. I ask him why. He then tells me, "He put me in time out." I ask him what he did to get in time out and he says something about a bean bag and Rowen. Through out the day I finally got this out of him. He had to sit for 5 minutes and that made him cry. He then said that they were fighting over the bean bag because Chase lost his. I then told him we have to share with our friends and ask for help from our teacher. I just hope come Thursday he wants to go again.

I also wanted to write down my new calling in church. For the awhile now I haven't had a calling. I got released from the primary presidency in Dec. and then just flew under the radar. Well then I was going to get a calling and everyone found out that I was pregnant with Twins and they thought that I will have my hands full and to just wait. Well Sunday morning (Aug 14) I get a phone call if I could meet with the bishop. I said yes and then texted Darren,"you're going to get it." He should at least give me a heads up. Well what had happen was that morning in their bishopric meetings they hadn't heard from the new Relief Society President that was going to be called that Sunday on who she wanted. I guess she emailed Bishop but he didn't get them. So he called her and she told him the counslers and then she said my name for the secretary. Darren said as he sat there he could hear bishop on the phone saying," You know she is pregnant with twins." Right then Darren knew it was me. So he didn't know to give me a warning or anything. So I get to the church still not knowing what the calling is going to be and how come someone would want me when I could be out for along time. When I get to church there is also Pam Banks, Jolynn Backus, Nicole Littlejohn and I am wondering what could it be. Well when it is my turn I find out it is to be the secretary and I am just shocked. I did not want to except this calling because I know how long I could be out from church and just plain not knowing my future. They called me an assistant secretary to take over when I am out. My thoughts on that (if I need an assistant then just don't put me in). Well I excepted the calling and now all I can do is my best until the babies come and then go from there. (This was the calling I had when we first moved to here. I gave all my old stuff to the secretary that then gave it back to me)

My Growing Belly

I am going to be brave and put up the pictures of my stomach, just so that I can have them for my blog book and journal entry..... This first photo was June 19 2011 @ 16 weeks.. 18 1/2 weeks

20 weeks

23 weeks

Today 24 weeks


I feel that at night I am alot bigger because they move more to the top of me and the front. Also the way the photo is taken makes a difference on the way I am looking. I already feel that I have no more room in me and I just know that I am going to get a whole lot bigger. Which scares me about loosing the weight. I just try to tell my self not to worry about it as long as I have healthy babies.

Chase goes to Preschool 8-9-11

On August 9 Chase started preschool at Flip City. He goes Tuesday & Thursday. The first day he did really good at going into school. Then the next day he didn't want to go. He still had his stitches in the first day of school. So here he is... Then I realized I didn't take a photo with his backpack on so today we took one....

He needed to show off his moves.....

He still doesn't want to go in to the school but the teacher is really good about getting him in there and telling him what they will be doing. So then I leave and I don't ever get a call to come get him. So I just assume that he is doing ok.

1st Grade

I can't believe that this little face is a 1st grader......

Chase needed to get in on the picture with Mason to show how big he has gotten.....

Today was the first day of school. I took Mason because he wasn't sure if he remembered where his class room was. We pull up and as we are walking he just takes off. I was like Mason wait for me..... He remembered where to go and didn't need me any more. I amazes me how different year to year make. He rode the bus home and when asked how school was he was back to normal of not remembering anything. He did finally tell me that he had fun and that there is alot of different kids in his class, along with some of his old friends. Here's to a good school year!

Painting Shirts 8-3-11

My mom was up for a couple of days while Darren was gone to Las Vegas for the Furniture Market and she brought some stuff for the boys to do. They painted these shirts and she was way more patient than I was when I tried to do this with them for the 4th of July. They had so much fun. My mom came up to help me get some organization in my house and to help clean some stuff out. We also were able to take some time away to go to Prescott to look for maternity clothes and to stock up on my pantry and food items. It went by way to fast but was so much fun having her here. I feel the next time I see her (since school is starting for her) will be when I have the babies. I am 22 weeks pregnant now.

Stitches Again....

On Sunday 7-31-11 we were at church and in Sacrament meeting when it was just about over and Chase getting ready to sing the song. He was getting on the bench or something but he fell foward off the bench and hit the song book holder that is wood. He hit right on the corner and at that moment I knew that something bad was going to happen. He starts to cry I pick him up and take him out and lay him on the couch to find his forhead busted open. I grab some tissue and go and get one of our friends that is a PA and he said it looks like stitches is needed. So I start to leave toward Sedona where there is an urgent care open on Sunday. I get a call that our neighbor (who is doing his residence to be a doctor at our local hospital) that is also in our ward had stuff to stitch him in his car. So I come back and we head to his house to get him stitched. Chase did really well. He cried alot as they put the medicine in him with the needle and then he was fine. He kept his eyes close liked we asked so he would not move. A big change from the last time he got stitches. He just needed one to hold it into place. It does look like it will scare but I guess he will just have to remember the story that goes along with it. He is his photo a couple days after the stitches......

He loves to show people his stitches. So he was really excited when I took the photo of them. Let now just hope that it keeps healing and he doesn't fall and bust it open again.

Mountain FUN 7-26-11

Last week when Darren was off we decided to go up on Mingus Mountain and cook hot dogs & smores and just have fun. Here are the boys....


The boys played baseball and then we went on a walk. We couldn't go far because of Darren having and boot on and I was having cramping. We went to make a fire and the wood was wet and not burning well. So we decided we would just go home and do the food. When we left it started to rain. So we new that we made a good choice. It was a fun evening.
