Up until now...

...these are some of the things we have been up to.

Going with nephews to the "tiny zoo" at Thanksgiving Point (pre snow fall!).

I love this Cache man!

These sweet boys are a HUGE joy in my life!

And what cow doesn't need to be ridden, roped, and rocked out on?!

It just kept getting better!

My birthday came and went (thank goodness!) but not without a thoughtful card from my Pops and Mama Lee. Notice that this card is addressed to their daughter! I don't know why, but this card made me burst into tears and Scott thought I had gotten some really bad news via the US postal system, until I sniffled out what this card meant to me. He didn't openly weep like me, if you can imagine...??? I love my in-laws so much! The words on the card and hand written were the highlight of my birthday.

I was beyond thrilled that 1 month before moving from our home our peach tree busted out its first fruit!!! It was a great reward for our hard work.

I really do forget how bloody giganormous Frank's head is, but we all love our fall drives up AF canyon!

Bronx loves to have his ears flap in the wind!

I'm ready for this warm weather to come back already!!!

My mom and I traditionally go up the Sundance ski lift in September to see the leaves via above them and IT IS BEAUTIFUL!!!

Michelle and I HAD A BLAST going to the Brad Paisley concert together. She got me tickets for my birthday (thanks again!) and it was epic entertainment! Brad Paisley was good too. Suffice it to say, I was hit on by the hottest drunk cowboy, with a mullet, EVER! My self-esteem has never been higher! Oh Michelle, what did he say..." you know you got it" or was it " you know you want it" or ...oh dangit, what was it!!??? classic! I know I look like I'm wearing a sombrero but it was a cute cowboy hat, and Michelle was 2 weeks away from delivering Ben...ya, we were quite a duo!

There is always such strangeness to watch happening around you. I was glad I had my ear plugs. I thoroughly enjoyed Michelle giving her "I'm a teacher, and I'm going to send you to the Principal's office" eyes to unruly teenagers passing by.

While cleaning out the house we came across so much baby hand-me-downs from my 3 sisters. We tested this walker out. This was the best picture of the bunch--the others were so blurry because I couldn't hold the camera still I was laughing so hard.

Scotty's brother Matt is serving an LDS mission in Montana and said he walked by this sign and it screamed "Megan." I personally love the sign but mostly love that Matty thought of me! I miss that kid mucho, mucho! He has been out 6 months on Dec. 16!

We had mega baby arrivals in the Lee family! On October 15, Michelle delivered

Mr. Benjamin Rawlins Walker!

He decided to show up 2 weeks early.

He is such a sweet, little guy! The pictures Scott got of Kaiya first seeing him are beyond words!

About 36 hours later (ish) Laurel popped out sassy little

Miss Scarlett Joy Richardson!

She is sporting her first "Auntie May May headband."

This week was INSANE! We were trying to move (everyone who has done that, knows it just plain sucks and takes forever), Scott was interviewing for another job, etc. etc. but we wanted to be a part of these little babies coming and spend time with Scott's mom who came into town to help the girls!

This is us with Scarlett. We had been cleaning all day...and thus why we look like crap! :)

Halloween is always fun seen through the eyes of the Stailey boys.

Scott's bank did a Doctor theme. They had Dr. House, Dr. mom, The witch Dr., Scott was Dr. Drake Ramoray L.O.L.!!!

Hott Doc!

Long story, so Reader's Digest Version: In moving we came upon all the baby stuff we have been storing. We had 3 cribs. 2 were REALLY old. It stirred up a lot of emotion! Next thing I knew Scott had the 2 old cribs set up out in the back yard and brought out the axe. He told me to take a swing. I thought he had lost his mind, until I took a swing. I felt like a million ducks, I mean bucks! Scott then said now with each swing say something that you want to get out of your system and leave behind when we move from this house. I said like what? He demonstrated with a swing he yelled, "I hate babies!" We both started laughing so hard. OK, OK, it's my turn..."I hate ivf" as the axe slashes through the cute little bear on the side of the crib. Then it was on like Donkey Kong! "I hate Dr. so and so....I am sick of (fill in the blank), I wish blah blah blah, it was so therapeutic and free-ing! I am sure if neighbors were looking out their windows they were in deep fear and as Alicia says, Frank was peeking around the dog door and we know exactly what he was thinking!!!!

More venting, and effective therapy. I actually think some psychologist somewhere is proud of us!

Frank and Bronx came out after the axe-ing was over to see what the ruckus was all about and both of them took an opportunity to pee on the destruction.

Then just to make sure all of the bad memories and hell and torture were gone, we burned the crib wood! It actually burned black flames, so we figured the cribs had lead poisoning and we were just doing the world a favor.

I learned a wonderful lesson from Abraham Lincoln (we're tight like that). He wrote in one of his books about a time that he was offended by someone. He wrote them the nastiest of letters and really put into detail how his feelings were hurt and what he felt and how he wished them what they deserved. He said it made him feel better to get his emotions out and not bottle them up or try and suppress them. He then lit a match and burned the letter. I was fascinated by this idea when I first read about it. People have feelings! I think supressing them makes them worse and more volitile. Ever since I read about what Abe Lincoln did, I have done the same. If ever there is something bothering me, whether it's a person or a situation, maybe something I cannot control, I write the specifics down on a piece of paper where I can see the exact things that are bothering me and feel like I am getting it "off my chest." I then light a match and watch the paper burn and try and let those feelings go up in smoke like the paper. GO AHEAD AND JUDGE ME....I ACTUALLY DON'T CARE. WALK A MILE IN MY SHOES AND THEN WE'LL TALK!:)
So before we left our home, I wrote down some serious specifics that were negative or just poopy that I wanted to NOT take with me. I just wanted to leave some SH*T behind! So I did!

I look a little possessed...I promise I'm not a pyro, I just deal with my emotions "my" way.

Then Scott put out the fire....this is totally inappropriate!

We had some of our first visitors at our new place in SugarHouse. Kaiya loved Frank!

Frank got a little tired, but Kaiya went with it! LOL. She and Scotty are watching Cars.

Then she used him as a pillow instead of a chair! We LOVED this visit!

Kaiya thought she would give Bronx a try as well.

Oh, did we forget to announce that we have two children? Oh whoops, let me introduce to you our two perfect, adorable children....Kaiya and Ben! (Michelle and Brad who?)

Veteran's Day November 11, 2010. My wonderful Grandpa Jack Tueller was awarded an honor down in Provo, so Scott and I drove him down and enjoyed basking in the glory as his grandkids!

He spoke and played his trumpet!

This amazing guy will be 90 years old January 28.

This is our new backyard. Upon the first snowfall, we ran out to make a snowman! It was so much fun! That snowman turned out to be HUGE!

Just our little family hanging out...dogs just like kids...no one cooperates with the bloody camera!

I'm back in the blogging spirit...I'll be back...sooner than later!
