SHE'S HERE!!!

Im 2 months behind, but our wait is over and we are pleased to announce that we had a little GIRL!! We named her Briley Louise She joined

us on the 29th of November weighing in at 7lbs 5oz and 18in long. she had a ton of hair i was shocked. i had a feeling we were going to have a girl and when Michael looked at me and said "ITS A GIRL!" i looked at him and said "ITS A GIRL(question mark)"(its not working for some reason) and with a huge grin on his face he said "ITS A GIRL!!!!!! Briley Louise Stucki is here! no wonder we couldn't decide what boys name we like best we didn't need to!" she is such an amazing little girl. We were able to come home the following day and start

living life as a family of 5. it has been 2 months and the kids are still all up in her face and loving her tons. She smiles like there is no tomorrow and loves when here daddy comes home and Smiles so big its the cutest thing.she is sleeping through the night and i don't mean from 12-6 i mean from 9:30pm-8:30am. NO JOKE I am so lucky. We blessed her on January 1st 2012.

Michael has started the FIRE ACADEMY and is gone a lot. He is losing a ton of weight and is looking GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD! lol

seriously.We are so excited for him, he should be

done sometime in June and then hopefully we can take the well needed Family vaca. right now he has a high 97 in the class and is loving it. -we cant wait til he is able to do what he really wants to do- there may be a move coming up but who knows.

Paityn is now a SUNBEAM- which we call the

BIG GIRL CLASS at church and is learning

so much. she loves it. she is singing songs i know i didn't teach her and amazed me the other day at the store when she saw a bag with Noahs Ark on it and said that looks like Noahs boat mom. i told her it was ans she says "the animals got on his boat to get away from the storm MOM!!" all excited. she is a great helper with Briley and Hunter. I can't believe how big our baby is getting!

Hunter- boy.... where to begin.... well he is a big pain in the butt!!! not kidding!! lol he gets into so much trouble! but he is also the funniest little boy he knows how to make us laugh even when he is supposed to be in trouble. He loves to hold Briley but doesn't quit understand personal space yet. he likes to

beat up Paityn most the time she doesn't mind but the times she minds he thinks its funny.Boy do we love this kid.

Now for me I have some what adjusted to having 3 little ones. lost all the baby weight and some- wish i could work out more but its hard with Michael in school sometimes i feel like a single mom. the house is always messy and i never feel like i have food in the house. but I only have until June and then it should be a little better. i'm thinking about selling Paparazzi Jewelry but not sure just something to give me some adult time.not sure yet though. sounds fun but i gotta figure out time! I have decided to grow my hair out a little bit so i can do more with it. I have also been RS Secretary for a while now and i love it- i'm slacking a little due to no time but i'm well thats all about the Stuckis for now Hope all is well!figuring it out again.

Im So behind!!

Where to start! A lot has happened again and I stink at letting you know what is happening in our lives. We are getting closer to having a new bundle of joy join us and we can’t be more excited. It’s very hard not knowing what we are having but at the same time we are so excited for that special day.
Paityn is now 3 and boy does she still act like a 5 year old. We had a fun birthday for her and she got a lot of presents she was/is spoiled. She also has a new hair cut that makes her look way older but is so dang cute.her favorite saying right now is “WHAT NOW SUCKER!!!” and its funny if said at the right time but a lot of times she just says it for no reason.
Hunter is almost 2 and totally acts like it he is such a cheese ball and Punk to put it. (I cant find another word to describe him!) but we love him and he makes us laugh. His favorite thing to do is give that baby raspberries he thinks its so funny and he can make them sound really nasty. He is potty trained but every once in awhile he does have an accident which isn’t too bad considering he is not even 2.
Michael is working hard and going to school. He is trying to get into the Fire academy for January so we are working on that. While he does that he is also taking 2 online courses to further his fire studies while waiting to start the training. I’m so proud of him and what he has and is accomplishing. He still is very busy but yet makes time for his family. The kids hear hims coming and go hide so he has to find them everyday when he gets home (which is not that hard since they are laughing the whole time a hard in the same spot most of the time). They love there little game.
Me where to start? Well first I am doing great and loving being home with the kids. I am a little scared of what’s going to happen once I add a 3rd child to the mix but excited and I know I can do it. I got some news a while back that my mom filed for divorce from my dad, which I took really hard. Its still a touchy subject but I’m making it through with the love & support of my husband. I also took my anger & Fustration out on my crafts to decorate the house I did about 13 plus crafts in a month. And im still working on more but have slowed down the process.
Well I think that’s all for now (at least what I can remember from the last 6 months.)

Our crazy weekend

So where to start? well lets see..... We left Friday around 1 ish to head to Phoenix got there around 5:30 got situated and hungout with family. The kids had a ruff night away from home but they still had fun. we hungout all day Saturday and at 4:00 went and had Stucki family pictures taken. It was a lot of fun and they turned out great. Then went Back to the Gale home ate dinner and celebrated Our brother-in-law Riches 40th Birthday. then jumped in the car and got home around 11:00 at night. we went to bed and woke around 5:00 to get ready for another drive. We were in the car my brother tagging along by 5:45 headed to St. George to meet up with the Merritt family. (My Grandma and Aunt Jo were in St. George so we went there to see them since we hadnt seen them since Paityn was about 9 months) (plus my Grandparents Owens were there also) we got there around 11:00. but we had quit the adventure getting there with grumpy kids and thankfully a very nice cop. We spent all day at a park spending time together and celebrating Easter. the kids loved it. We headed home the next morning early and that was some what exciting the kids slept most of the way and then took a nap when we got home almost a 4 hr nap. but in the middle of Vegas a crazy lady was running in the middle of the freeway picking up thing and we almost got into an accident. It was a fun and busy weekend but so worth it to see my Grandma and have her remeber my family. ill post pictures later since my camera took a dump and my mom has all the picture

life

So life is somewhat exciting. The kids are getting bigger and its great. Hunter is now talking more however if your not michael or me you probably wont understand him. Paityn is Paityn i don't know what to say about her other than she is the mom! We got exciting news a couple months ago and its that My little sister Ariel and her Husband Jose are due to have a baby in October and also Michaels best friend/cousin Ren and his girl lindsy are due that month. we cant wait to find out what they are having. it seems like everyone is having babies around that time. We also found out yesterday that our brother-in-law Jeremy (my sis husband) is graduating in may from college. how excited we are for them. we have a lot of vacations planned and hopefully will get to do all of them. We are planning another trip to Utah one to Wyoming , and some camping trips, plus a Lund Stucki reunion somewhere in there too. so we are gonna be pretty busy i must say. well that's all for now. talk to you all later

Been a long time its time to update

So where to start well first of all we finally made it into our house!!!!!! we moved in Sep. 28th, 2010. It was amazing finally getting to move in!!!! We got right to work and unpacked its amazing the stuff you forget that you have after a whole year!!! well the kids were going to be sharing rooms and that lasted about a month then we decided that we'll give them their own rooms until we have another kid and that way if they happen to wake up in the middle of the night they wont wake eachother up. so once the rearranging was done we did some painting. Hunter has on Blue wall and paityn has one Purplr/pink wall(she picked her own color out.) And then we painted one wall in our living room Aspargus Green We LOVE IT!now on to the family So Disel is now a year old and has had to many things happen all due to him but to many. First he eats socks and anthing else he thinks he can so we had a couple of scares due to the fact that the blank we gave him to sleep on ended up shredded and half of it missing! but he got it out finally so that scare is over. Hunter- well hes ginormus! literaly. he is now 17 months with 1 togo til he can go to nursery! so exciting but a little saddning at times. he now has 6 teeth he is running climbing and falling all the time he is always covered in brusies. he loves to tease Paityn by takening whatever she has and running its quite funny cause she has a melt down everytime while he just looks at her and laughs. hes deffinalty our trouble maker. Paityn- 30 months little miss personality for sure. she acts way older than she is and talkes your ear off. she says funny things like Im Not a FAKER i a Paityn!!!! or ill be talking to michael and shell say mommy dont say that!! ill ask her what and shell say "Dont talk like that to my daddy." its deffiantly entertaing but sometimes it drives you crazy. she is fully potty trained and its amazing. she wakes up dry every morning and i love not having to change her diapers anymore. she acts like a mom sometimes and is very demanding! she missis living/seeing her grandparents everyday so we try to see them alot but its nice to have our own space after a year. Me well hmmm im loving staying at home with the kids and i dont have anything new or exciting at this time. Michael well where to start.... he Is going back to school. He has finished his course for Basic EMT which he needs to be a firefighter. he will be starting his firefighter course really soon and then well go from there hopefully he can get a job somewhere. he is probably gonna start looking for either a part time of full time EMT job until his schooling is done for firefighter so he can keep up with what he learned. we are loving the time together and all that. now that the computer is better and i have internet ill try to keep this updated

I SUCK!!!

I am so bad at this blogging thing!!!
Where to start???
Well lets start with the baby of the family
DISEL!-0 yes we got a dog. American Bulldog. he was born Feb. 18th. But he is so big he doesnt look like a pup anymore. (will post pic later hopefully im not on my computer right now) the kids love him. he is White with Brindle spots and black eyeliner on his eyes. he can jump as high as my head (and i know you are all thinking well thats not very high but it really is)
HUNTER- Hunter is 10 months and huge he was weighed about a month ago and weighed in at 21.7 lbs. a beast. he is crawling really good and has taken about 7 steps so he is getting really close to walking. no teeth yet we are anxiously awaiting those. He loves to drive cars around the house and make a vrrrrrrrr nose while doing it and he pushed anything else he can around the house to get to where he wants to be. He loves his sister and they now are sharing a room.
PAITYN-Man is she BIG!!! she goes in at the end of this month to get weighed and all that stuff. but She can talk and very well i might say and makes us laugh all the time. Her and Disel are best friend and use each other to get stuff like paityn will distract me while Disel gets into stuff and the other way around. She gets to be a flower girl in her Aunt Ariels wedding October 2nd. and we are excited. She is now out of her crib and now just sleeps on her Mattress on the floor til at least the 28th maybe a little longer. and she loves it.
ROCHELLE- I still am staying home with the babies and still loving it. they keep me very busy. i am working right now on the kids bedding for the new house (ill get to that soon) I am Lucky enough to have been asked by my sister to be her Matron of honor.
MICHAEL-Where to start?? he is still working for his parents but is going to school he is in a emt class this semester and next will hopefully be in the Fire Fighter course. He finally has gotten a chance to start working on his career. He has wanted to be this since before we meet and we have talked about it since but with having 2 kids he hasnt had a real chance to start it til now. He has class 2 days a week and sometimes all day Saturdays and the days he isnt at class he is studying so we dont get much time with him right now. but it will be worth it in the end.
HOUSE- now for the house i know we were supposed to be in it already but it didnt happen we felling behind schedule but we are close the move in date it the 28th of this month(September) if everyone passes the inspections we are in. so we are praying that everyone passes. We have been working so hard on this house it will be nice to be in it finally and enjoy the inside relaxation part instead of the inside/outside working part. (will post pictures soon)
well i think thats it for now thanks for being patient for an update. sorry there are no picture soon i promise!!

Hunter

Sorry it has taken so long for me to write about our new addition. Well on November 4Th, 2009 Hunter Kitric Stucki was born weighing 6lbs. Paityn had a hard time at first. Every time he would cry she would freak out and start crying herself. She just didn't understand what was wrong with him. she is a lot better now. Hunter is almost 4 months and holds his head up, stands tries to roll over, Laughs and is ticklish. He loves his sister any time she talks to him or tries to help him (by sharing her goldfish) he smiles so big! Its crazy how much he has grown since he was born and fast. He will be getting a new nephew here any day. His Uncle Thomas and Aunt Sophia Will be having a little boy she goes in on Sunday to get induced. We are so excited & Cant wait. Hunter also had a blessing at a month old. It was amazing and Michael did a great job. It is the greatest blessing to have a husband who holds the Priesthood and can bless our children. Its not as hard as i imagined it would be having two kids so close in age. i love it and enjoy every minuet of it. I am also Fortunate enough to be able to stay home with the kids right now. I do miss working but i wouldn't change my life at all.
My goodness has Paityn grown. she is now running and singing and copying everything you do. she is my little helper and loves her brother any chance she gets she is giving him kisses and hugs. she looks after him and loves to call his name. She is already turning into our little tom-boy. she loves playing in the dirt and playing cars(she even makes the noises) She has figured out how to open the back door and just to day i was making sure all the trash was put outside for trash day and i came back in the front door and thought she was back in her room, well hunter was crying so i picked him up and tried to help him, when Paityn walked into the living room and pointed and i asked her what and she had me follow well turns out she was out back in her PJ's no shoes and was playing in the DIRT. i had to laugh its a good thing we live in the middle of no-where and it was the back door. she is the trouble maker. She loves living with Michaels parents and Knows when everyone should be home.
We have started working on our house finally. We have to build about 8 Houses ours is number 7 and so far we are on house 4. Our goal is to be done by June 31st. and we are so excited. it will be nice to have our own house and paint it the way we want. well that's all i have time for right now ill try and keep you all updated on everything when i get a chance.

Finally

Finally We are able to get internet again!!!! Just in time for us to move!!! We will be moving out our current house at the end of August. I cant wait. While we are building our house We are going to be living with Michaels parents. They were nice enough to offer it to us once we found out that the house was a GO. It will be different but it will be nice we will be about 3 blocks away from my parents and Paityn will get more time with them all. And i will be closer in town when Hunter decides to come. We are so thankful to them.

Now for Paityn:

Paityn turned 10 months today she is getting so big. She had learned how to express herself through her little tantrums. which sometimes are cute and other times not so cute. She is really close to walking she walks all over the place as long as she is holding onto at least one of our fingers. When we got back from Wyoming Paityn ended up gettting really sick she had a fever of 102.5-103.5 off and on for about a week. We took her to the hospital three days in cause we were so worried it was the first time that she was sick and with temps. that high it was a little scary. They said that it was just a cold and she would get over it. It took 5 days for her to finally have no more fevers . Paityn has her third tooth coming through it is so close so we are dealing with her teething pains hopefully she will pop it through Soon!!! Paityn has such a personality. She is pretty funny we could sit here and laugh at her and with her for hours. She has so many different faces that she makes and she laughs at her self all the time. she has finally found the kitchen and loves to get into all of the cupboards. She loves string cheese & kix for snacks she has started to eat breakfest lunch and dinner with us and loves all of our food. We have found only a couple of things she will not eat. She doesnt like Cooked peas (but loves fresh peas), she got a slice of an onion and didnt like that. but other than that she pretty much will eat anything. I cant wait til she is a year and can have a PB&J sandwich cause i love those. So im pretty sure she will. Well thats about it for Paityn.

Now Michael & I:

We are so excitied to start the building of our house we will need a lot of help to get in our hours especially when Hunter gets closer to gettting here and when he is here. Cause i wont be able to work for a while. We are so excitied to have a place that we can actually call our own and be proud of what we built together. We are getting so excitied for the arrival of our baby boy and love to sit and feel him kick. he sure is an active baby. This pregnacy seems a little better than Paityns. the only difference is that with this on i was not sick, I can feel the braxten hicks, I drink so much milk, and i have plenty of cravings. The wierdest craving by far i would have to say is for wirchester sauce. dont ask cause i have no clue why i crave it. I am Quiting my job of 2years and 3 months at the end of October so i can stay home with the children and hopefully get a little time with Paityn before Hunter comes it will give us about 20 days with eachother if Hunter comes on his due date. We are super excitied. this next weekend Michaels Cousins Ren & Chase are coming to visit and as soon as they are gone we are going to spend some time with Michael Family. we cant wait. Well i better get going I've got some packing to do.

Love always

Michael, Rochelle, Paityn & Hunter (on the way) Stucki

MY GOODNESS

Hello Everyone,
Sorry it has taken this long for me to update our blog. We kinda dont have internet anymore because we were blocked by our neighbors. lol. Well we have exciting News we found out that we are having a little BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is so exciting. We have decided on a name and his name will be.......Hunter....... Hunter Kitric Stucki. The due date in November 20th but if he is anything like his sister he'll come around the 10th. So sometime in November our little one will be here. And so far he is healthy thank goodness for that.
We also have signed up for a program that helps you build a home with low interest rate and we are going to be doing it. We have to contribute atleast 40 hrs a week to building the house and it can take 6 to 9 months to complete however they only allow you to work on Saturdays and Sundays. So we have to try and get all 40 hrs in on Saturday so we dont miss church and dont have to work on Sundays . The nice thing is you can get help from family and friends and their hours can count as your hours. So if we can get at least 2 Voulenteers + Michael and me every saturday then we will be covered and can go to church on Sundays its one of those things that we are gonna make work because it is such a neat oppurtunity. We just have to find the voulenteers to help especially when Hunter comes ill be out for a week or 2 . But we feel this is what we are supposed to do and we are super excitied. We are supposed to get started sometime in August so its coming up fast. the nice thing is we wont be working in the summer heat. Thank goodness for that one.
well thats all i have time for ill try and get to were i can update more sorry
love to all

Wow its been awhile

I cant believe that 2 months almost 3 have passed since i last blogged about our lives!!!!!!!!! well we got some exciting news!!!!!! Ready for it?????? We Are PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats right we are going to be having another child in November. That mean that Paityn and her new baby Brother or sisiter will only be 13months apart. And God deffinatly had a part in this one. We had gone to the temple and we prayed that we may know when we should have another child and we had a feeling not to wait. The next thing we knew we were Pregnant!!!!!!!!1 amazing how god works. i am right now about 12 weeks along and this pregnancy has gone a lot better so far. 1)Ive had nause but i have not thrown up yet which in my eyes is amazing, 2) i actually get to drink water with out getting sick. Its hard to believe that i will have 2 kids all within 13 months and Im barely going to be 21. can you believe that?????

well Paityn is getting so big she is rolling all over the place but not crawling which she will do on her own sweet time. I cant believe that my little baby will be 7 months old sunday she is getting so so so big. She is eating a breakfeast and a dinner *She has started using sippy cups during those meals* plus she still is getting her bottles.

Michael was finally able to finish Paityns crib, i think that finding out that we will need another crib kind of help push him along.it so amazing he worked so hard on it and im glad to say it turned out better then i could of ever imagined.

I also had the oppurtunity to go and learn to snow board with my husband who is an amazing teacher!! heres a few pictures

We found out about a month ago that in the fall we will be moving away from Kingman, its exciting but at the same time a little scary, since i have lived her my whole life. the nice thing we arent moving to far away so we will still be able to visit family.

i dont know what else to say so i better go im still trying to sell bows if anyone is interested!

Sick/busy last few weeks

So I think that i am not very good at the whole blogging on a regular bases. However i hope you all understand. we have been so so busy. First of all we had a really good snow enough to be able to put Paityn out in it and get pictures the next morning. She loved it until i put some in her hand, and when we laid her in it to make a snow angel i think it was still a little cold on her hands. We even gave her some to eat and she loved it she couldn't get enough of it and she got mad when we quit giving her snow.
What else oh this last week we all went to Phoenix so Michael could attend a crash course in Hearing Aids since he takes the test tomorrow to be come a certified Hearing Specialist *he works under his dads licence right now* I know he will do great but it still makes me really nerves. Well while we were in Phoenix I put Paityn on my lap and let go and she sat up all by her self. If she wasn't so interested in looking at everything i think she might be able to sit by her self, she just moves to much. We also started playing Peek~a~boo with her and her blankets and she is so smart. it took her a couple of times to get the hang of it but when you put the blanket over her face she will pull it off, and after a couple of times she actually grabs the blanket and will pull it over her own face and and pull it off, trying to play. it is so cute.
Well for Valentines we celebrated it on Friday so that we would have a babysitter **family** to watch Paityn. We went to Laughlin and went to the Outback for dinner and just walked around the casino for a little and then went to the mall and bought Paityn so gifts. Well when we went to Vegas the weekend before V~day i was sick and on some meds that knocked me out. and in that i happen to loose my phone i have no clue where it is. so i had to get a new phone. luckily i had insurance but sucks cause i lost all of my numbers!!!!!!!!!! Pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! & the PHONE!!!!!!!!!!! AWWWWWW. but what can you do nothing but move on. still no luck on selling any bows hopefully i will have some luck really so. eww i gotta go Paityn is waking up from her afternoon nap. take care and i will keep you updated as much as possible
*its been hard Paityn has been sick and grouchy and barley sleeping i don't know if i should take her to the doctor or just see if she can get over it her self. well i better go
Rochelle

Bows

These are the other bows that i have made Let me know what you think. Even if it is that i should give up on the bows*Honesty Hurts but it only makes you stronger.*

As you can see from the pictures the bows clip on to head bands * i buy the head bands from walmart the new born ones. i havent gotten the hang of making those yet still trying. The bows are $5.00 If there is one you like just let me know i havent come up with names so just tell me colors and (if there is a design on them)What design is on them. I am mostly selling in kingman it easier that way, but if you trust me to mail them to you, (if you do not live here) i will, there will just be a little shipping added to the cost.Thanks again
Rochelle

The Last 2 Weeks

Hello everyone,
sorry it has taken so long for an update. we have been kinda really busy. Michael went snowboarding last weekend and had so much fun. he got home and it was nice to have him home. Paityn is getting so big she isnt doing much but she is trying to roll over, she gets so upset about not being able to roll over. She is getting a very good grip, she has found my hair and loves to pull it. she is getting better at sitting up a little. She loves to be in the kitchen with us when we are cooking. We went to the doctor for Paityns check up and she is 12.9 lbs. & 23 3/4 inc. long. i can not believe it.
Im am still scrapbooking and making Paityns bows i love making her things and I love being with her she makes my day brighter. I love working but i wish i could just stay home and enjoy every minute of her life. We were able to go to the temple on January 31. and we enjoyed it so much. i wish i could go all the time. luckly we get to go this saturday also. yea!!! Well i think thats it for the update. i hope every one is doing great and if there is anything that we might be able to help you with just let us know.

In our Family of 3

Well were shoul i start. Last Sunday Paityn found her feet, & then on Tuesday her foot found its way to her mouth. We started her today on 6oz. which she still does not htink is enough and throws a little hissy fit. you can def. tell that she is a girl. she is beginning to laugh and laugh and laugh. and getting more and more ticklelish. although today she through her first all day fit. we almost did not go to church because of her outburst and attitude.

I have made a couple more bows and i am selling them for $5.oo and i am also making blankets i am going to vegas on Tuesday to get more material to start those. i will be selling them for around $10.00 i think that is not a set price but that is what i am saying now. I dont have any blankets right now. **i am unable to upload pictures at this time will post them as soon as possible**
Michael as usual has been working really hard to support our little family and is doing a great job. He is taking a little vacation to go spend sometime with his dad brother and cousin. they are going to go snowboarding. Its exciting but at the same time i hate when he leaves. but every one deserves a break once in a while. he sure is loving being a dad and we can not wait for more children.

Craftiness

Well in the last few weeks, i have taught myself to make a little flannel blanket and a couple of head bows that clip on to Paityns headbands. I am so proud i think they turned out great figuring out how to do it by just looking at Charly's *our Niece's* bows. i plan on making a few and selling them. the bows and blankets. So if you are interested let me know. As of right now i am only selling them in Kingman and i will be

posting a few pictures of what i have made. Yesterday my sister in-law Caitlin came over and we pretty much scrapbooked all day. we only got a few pages. It is so nice having a cricut that cuts out all the shapes that i want. It is so fun making page of the exciting things that Paityn is doing. While we Scrapbooked we put Tanner* my Nephew* in a playpen and Paityn in her Bouncer they sat there and talked and laughed it was so cute and of course as soon as we got the video camera out they stopped. and then they took a 3 hour nap and we enjoyed spending the time just hanging out and talking. we have been family for 3 years i believe and we haven't really spent any time together getting to know each other. Well that's all i believe and if i remember anything else i will blog about it tomorrow.
Always the Stucki's
