New Car

This the car I bought when I got home from my mission. It has been with our family ever since. It started to get a little to tight for our growing family and my kids needed better air conditioning...they are sweaty. :)

So we were able to sell our Jeep for a good price and with that money and our tax return we were able to buy Billy's dream car (for a family) without a loan! So Billy's happy about the new car (as am I) but even more exciting to me is NO PAYMENTS!!! It so funny after I told that to my dad about buying it with out a loan he gave me a fist bump. That was a "way to go, that's my girl" fist bump.

Thanks to my AWESOME cousin Chad who helped us so much by finding this car for such a fair price and helping us get everything situated!! You rock Chadwick!!! My girls are in love with the car! Every morning when Kylee wakes up the first thing she does is runs to the front window to make sure the new car is still there. Then she screams "The car is here, the car is here!!" It is so cute!!! Funny thing is that Billy is just as excited. The first time I drove the Tahoe he called me after I had been gone for about 4 minutes and asks "Do you like the Tahoe? Doesn't it drive so nice?" I said "Yes, I like it and it does drive nice." Billy replies "Ok, I just wanted to know how the Tahoe was. See you later." I'm sitting there waiting for a "have fun" or "how are you?" but no that was a call about the CAR! He did say I love you at the end of the call at least.

Happy Birthday and some sibling love

I just wanted to wish a great friend of mine (more like family) a VERY Happy Birthday!! Don't worry Brooke I won't tell everyone it is your 30th birthday. Actually I am posting this a few days late because I have been really sick but I am on the mend now thank goodness! Love you Brookee!!
I love these adorable pictures of my kids loving and smiling at each other! Mattison is so good about making her brother and sister happy. If Kylee get's in trouble she runs to Mattison and says "Matson hold me." It's so cute!

She also knows how to get a nice big smile from her baby brother Brayden. To him everything she does is SO funny!

A good "crack" for the day!!

This is a good "crack" for the day! This is one of the reasons I wanted to go private with my blog so I could post cute pictures of my kids that are funny to share to only people I trust.

Who doesn't love a little "crack" now and then?

GOING PRIVATE!!!

So I am finally going to do it...I'M GOING PRIVATE! There are just to many scary people out there who can see so much about my family. My family means the world to me and I want to keep them as safe as possible. So for that reason I will be going private. Please leave your email address so I can invite you to my blog officially! I love my readers and want to keep them I just feel better knowing a little better about who that is :)
P.S. I'll delete your email address after I write it down so no one can copy it :)

A New~ New Year's Tradition!

I know this is way late but is still so worthy being blogged about. So Billy had to work on New Year's Eve night until 7 in the morning. One of my bestest friends was also home alone that night due to the same situation-working spouse. So we decided we could party without them! Amanda and her 2 adorable kiddos came over to party hard! We had dinner and then we played for a while. Then after about 30 minutes of dealing with the kids and their excuses of why they could stay up and how they weren't tired they went to sleep. By this time it was around 9:30pm but it felt like at least 12:30am! Amanda and I went and laid in my bed and watched some tv (tv that we can't usually watch with our husbands). That's right...wedding shows! We both love to watch that show "Say yes to the dress". We were talking and laughing and enjoying just being silly. All the sudden we look at the clock and realize that it is 11:50pm. We were so surprised that we had made it that long! We thought we would fall asleep by 10pm. :) So we make it to midnight and we laugh some more. Then we talk about how we wish we could try wedding dresses on again. Then we look at each other at the same time and I say "Yes, it's in my closet!" So we jump out of bed at 12:30am and we go into the family room so that we don't wake the kids and we get dressed in my wedding dress. Not only that we took pictures!

I know what your thinking "Oh so fun! Wish I could do that!" You can!! Amanda and I decided that this is a new tradition and we would love to have more dresses and more friends to do it with! So let me know if you want to join this good time for next year!!

Go ROCKSTAR Tara!!!!

So for any of you who do not know my sister Tara is a ROCKSTAR!!! She is a VERY busy mom, volunteers teaching aerobics 2 days a week, teaches dance 4 days a week, helps kids with homework, cares for Ava Bean while the other kids are at school. Then she keeps a clean house, makes dinner, eats healthy, looks amazing! She has a very fun but time consuming calling which she goes above and beyond for. She has a fun personality that makes you laugh for days! She is a hard worker not afraid to get her hands dirty and she is creative too! Also her rockin' husband works 24 hour shifts at least every third day as a Glendale fireman and is attending school also. So he is very active and has to be away from the home for long periods of time which leaves Tara to be WONDERWOMEN which she does VERY well! (man I wish I had a picture of Tara when she was dressed as Wonderwomen for Halloween once, it would fit so perfect here). hee, hee Then on top of all of that and so many other things that I didn't mention she decided to join a group of runners and do a relay from Prescott to Tempe. I know she's a mad women! I just want my sister Tara to know how amazed I am by her and her AWESOME abilities! She is a great example to me and she is so dedicated in all she does. I love you TK!! So her relay race startes this Friday the 26th and finishes Saturday the 27th so come cheer her on! She has 3 legs of the race. (I posted all the race details at the bottom of the post including maps of Tara's legs of the race.) Good luck Tara, I know you will do AMAZING because everything you do, you do AMAZINGLY!!


These are her three legs of the race. The first one she will probably start around 8:30 am, and that one will be the furthest away so she will understand if you will not be able to be there.
Her second leg she will probably start about 8:20ish pm. Her third leg will be on Sat morning starting at about 9am. The whole race ends at Tempe Market Place and her team is estimating they will finish around 3:00pm. (if all goes as planned:)
Her three legs are pictured in order. (Just click on the map to enlarge it)
Leg 1


Leg 2
Leg 3
Come cheer my AWESOME, AMAZING, ROCKSTAR OF A SISTER on in her race!!!!

Growing up is hard to do!!

That is right I Brayden Neuel got my first car! Is that not the hottest car bouncer? Thank you Amanda for the fun toy! I love that I can rest my head on the seat. Perfect!

Aren't I cute? This is yummy!

Ok that was some hard play time, now I need a nap....goodnight!

Hey I had so much fun I even made Kylee fall asleep.

Alright I'm awake again...sort of.
Ok so I have been really busy....as some of you know I went to the hospital from some stupid RSV thing my mommy keeps saying. All I know is they stuck some nasty tube down my nose and sucked the heck out of it. Why didn't they just ask me to blow? That would have been a lot easier and less uncomfortable! So here I am in the hospital bed with my arm taped to a board to hold it still for the iv. I learned I could suck on the end piece and at least that was fun. I'm doing much better now. Thank you for all your prayers!
Then I was able to go celebrate my Nana's birthday with all the adults and my fun cousin Parker. Happy belated birthday to the bestest Nana ever!!!!
I think Parker was ready to go home at this point though...hum, what do you think? Either that or he was mad because his mommy and Papa were holding the yummy dessert in front of his face and not sharing. Maybe a little of both. :)
I also have a new fun little chair that I can sit in all by myself! That is right this bumbo rocks!!
They even let me eat in it! That's right folks I'm learning to eat real food. It's pretty good the only thing is my mommy can't feed it to me fast enough. Oh well she will learn.
I can sit on the table in it. I guess my sisters aren't suppose to but they figured that since I can do it so can they. Whatever.
Well I need to go now because all this typing has made me hungry. I hope you have a fun day, I know I will!

Goodbye!!!
(Hope you enjoy all these pictures of me Grandma Chase :) hee, hee)
