When Daddy Works Late

Dan has been putting in some late hours working so the kids and I cuddle up in bed with a favorite Christmas movie and here is how it ends. Thank you daddy for working so hard and we love you so much! I am truly blessed to have a husband who takes care of me and our little angels...(when they are asleep) so well. Life is good!

Thankful for Fingers

Our Thanksgiving feast was very successful. All the olives were accounted for and everything including the "finger" food tasted so wonderful. We celebrated with Dan's sister and her family. Thank you Risenmay's for making our holiday so great!

Our Thanksgiving Indian

Dani along with her fellow first graders performed in a Thanksgiving program. She had to memorize a speaking part. She did very well and made mommy and daddy very proud.

Christmas Shopping

Look at these cute kids last year on Christmas eve.

Christmas 2008 is fast approaching and I went Christmas shopping today! Dani was at school and Brock was at a friends house so Mia and I took the opportunity to venture into some stores and really get into the Christmas spirit. It was so much fun and I got so much done. I've made my list and am checking it twice. So you all better be good!

The First Snowfall

Before the sleep was wiped from our eyes and as soon as Brock could find his snow boots he was outside playing in the first snow fall of the season. Maybe it's the Star Valley blood in him. And yes, he still has the fireman jammies on that he got for his birthday. Thank you aunt Krista for making those for him. They are a big hit! Brock was also very proud of the boot prints he could make in the snow. So proud that I found a frozen boot print clump of snow in our freezer tonight. How long should I hold on to that? I love that Brock!

Happy Birthday Brock!

Can we Party? Yes we Can! Brock turns 4, Bob the Builder Style. We had a very successful party. Lots of fun as you can see. We ate baked potatoes with either cement, sheet rock mud, gravel, wood shavings or glue on top (hamburger gravy, sour cream, chili, shredded cheese, or cheese sauce) We played games like find Bob's cell phone, Foreman says and toss the rock into the dump truck. We had lots of cake that mommy and daddy made. I think it turned out fabulous! Brock got lots of fun gifts like a remote control hummer, new bob the builder movie, firetruck jammies (that he does not want to take off. He has been wearing them for two days straight) and a mickey mouse fishing game that mommy and Brock has been playing a lot.

Brock is such a doll. We are so blessed to have him in our little family and we love him so very much. Happy Birthday Brocky!

Superman, Superwomen & A Bubblebee

We had a very fun and busy Halloween. We started at Dani's first grade class party at 1:00 pm. (I'm the room mom for dani's class this year and that makes me the party planner for all the holidays.) We danced, played games, and ate food. We then went to the church for the carnival and trunk or treat at 4:00pm. The kids had a blast. We then finished off the evening with treat or treating with cousins. Whew...mommy and daddy were tired!

Pumpkin Carving

We couldn't celebrate Halloween with out a carved pumpkin/jack-o-lantern. Daddy manned the knife while the kids, dangerously close watched as our pumpkin came to life.

Over the River and Through the Woods

The kids and I spent a fabulous week in Oregon making great family memories. It involved riding the mule, feeding the cows and chickens, wearing rubber boots, swinging in a tree swing, making apple cider and even a walk down memory lane for mommy who got to see a Colton high school football game.

Dani and Brock would go with Grandpa to the barn to feed the cows. Grandpa even let them "drive the mule" I guess Brock almost hit a couple of Christmas trees. Thank you grandpa and grandma for making our week so fun. We miss you and love you!

Mia's 1st Party

While we were visiting Grandma and Grandpa in Star Valley we celebrated Mia's first year. What a Party! She enjoyed the gifts and especially the cupcake. What a joy she has been to our family. We are blessed to have her here. Mommy and Daddy love you so much Mia!

Rewind...Labor Day Weekend 08

The pictures speak for themselves! Star Valley is so beautiful! We had missed Star Valley and were so happy to visit again. The kids had a great time with the cousins, and loved being with Grandpa and Grandma Tueller who they had not seen in 18 months. (Grandma and Grandpa just returned from a mission in Nauvoo.) We had a hot dog roast up the canyon and then hiked to the intermittent spring. We were very tired and thirsty after our long hike. I must say I have such a cute little family and I love them so much. Christmas is just around the corner and word on the street is that Santa is making a stop in Star Valley this year for the Tueller family. Better get those snow suits out!

Working Mommy

You're probably all thinking..."Stacy must not love her blog anymore. It's been almost two months since she has posted any news." Well part of the reason life has torn her way from blog land is I took on a freelance project to do all the design work for Cornbelly's at Thanksgiving Point, along with the Scream Asylum in Provo. All billboards, posters, tickets, ads, you name it I did it. Now that it has come to an end. I can return to my posting responsibilities. Check back daily I have two months to get caught up on and I think I might have to post multiple times a day to get it all in. Power Posting here I come. These pictures are of one morning after Dani has left for school, my two assistants help me check email. I love that I get to be home with my kids. And when times need that I work a little I can still be at home.

Sweeter than Chocolate

I let Mia have at it with a Kit Kat. Both mommy and Mia had to change clothes. Let me tell you she is sweeter than chocolate and what ever she wants she gets...look at those eyes. Watch for the update on her first steps. She will be walking soon.

The Kissey Face

This one makes me laugh. Brock is a funny dude. He is getting to be such a big boy! He has a birthday coming up.

The Missing Tooth

Sorry everyone...this blog has not been updated in a very long time and things have been happening in the Tueller household. Here is the first big thing everyone must know about the troop. Dani lost her first tooth. Did the tooth fairy come? Why yes, and left a dollar wrapped up in a tiny roll and tied with a red raffia ribbon. Dani wiggled it out herself.

Happy Birthday Catelyn!

You are my little sweetie...19 now but still my little sweetie. I hope you had a great day resting. You will need all the rest you can get before your little sweetie comes. I love you very much. Let's stay close even though we live hundreds of miles apart. When I left for college when you were 3 I missed you terribly and thought of you all the time. You would get on the phone and want to know why I couldn't come home right that second to play with you. In your three year old mind if we could hear each others voice then we must be close. Happy Birthday Cate!

Love, Stacy

p.s. Ashlee is going to love that picture of her in the background. he! he!
