Time to start this....again... All my thoughts

I have felt a need to blog again, it's something I always want to start but put it off. As I watch my 3 little ones grow and have so many stories I decided I need to save these memories if only in writing! I hope to keep this updated and just put my thoughts down!

We have changed so much in appearance and life since we had Easton, moved, and I quit working! We are trying to use whole, organic foods. This is to be healthy but more because I love my family, my grandmother cooked a meal for my family every night from scratch and we loved it! It helped me feel loved, I didn't know it at the time but I do now! So much bad is in the world and even when family life isn't great having a meal together, homemade was always there. Even if I had a late game I would come home to dinner, sometimes we would eat on the road and Julius and I would come home to food and we would eat again! So with this in mind I love my family and I want to make them dinner, and eventually lunch and breakfast but for now I am working on dinner!

Secondly things get tough especially having 3 children at home and a kid in the military( my brother) you realize how different life is at different stages of life but one thing is ALWAYS the same.... The love of our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ! I am constantly reminded of his love and understanding of  our individual situations! I am excited to see my kids grow to serve missions, and be married in the Temple, all 4 of them!

Easton Thomas Stucki, moving, and a new chapter of our lives

We are excited to meet our newest addition to the Stucki family, Easton Thomas Stucki. He was born January 10, 2013 at 2:15 pm. Charly and Nixon were very excited. In addition to a new baby we moved! Mid December Thomas was offered a job in Glendale that was to start immediately, unfortunately I could not move until Easton was born. So for about a month Thomas lived in a hotel 5-6 days a week and come home in between. The week before Easton was born Thomas, his dad, Lund, and his brother, Michael packed our house up. We had reserved a moving truck, we were to pick it up on Sunday, load it, and leave first thing Monday morning. Thomas had to be at work Tuesday morning so we were on a tight schedule with only 2 days to move. So on our way to get the truck the rental facility called to say they did not have he truck, the gentleman was going to Las Vegas to pick it up and call us when he was back,turned out to be 12 hours later at 9 pm.all in all Monday was busy but they did it.
I returned to kingman on Wednesday and left Charly and Nixon with grandma and grandpa Stucki, and went to lake havasu for my last dr appointment. I hadn't seen dr weise in a few weeks due to her schedule so she wanted to make sure we were a go, but she said baby wasn't dropped all the way so she did an ultrasound and baby was turned around and she wasn't sure we could induce but she worked her magic and turned him around! Good hung because i was about to cry! After that I got ready and went to Res Robin for  good bye dinner/ shower, it was great! We live lake havasu and are sad we had to leave! Afterward Rebecca and I went to Kmart and I bought thank you cards, I am really bad at thank you cards but I am determined to do these, may take months but they will get done!!! And then I went to mutual just to say good bye to the young women! Sad....went home Thomas just got there, he worked Wednesday, and we went to Walmart and then checked into the hospital.
Like always I had to be induced, and I was not progressing, annoying! But Thursday Afternoon I had a beautiful baby boy, Easton Thomas Stucki! We are so blessed!
We checked out on Thursday evening, and drove to kingman to meet the family! We stayed till Saturday morning and drive home to Peoria to our New home!! 
Once we arrived to our unpacked home we enjoyed spending time together! The Gales came for a visit to see the baby, and we had an opportunity to go the the Russell's home to introduce our new baby! Charly and Nixon love introducing the baby to everyone! Rich, Zoe, and Rose Mary all took turns holding the baby! And then they fed us!! Always a treat to bit have to make dinner!
We didn't have furniture for a little while so we tried to avoid inviting people over but the Gale family really wanted to visit, and we are so glad they did, the kids enjoyed having their cousins over to play and we enjoyed visiting with Sarah! She even made use some meals chicken chili( which has become a family favorite), chicken Alfredo, and something else, this is the problem with blogging so long after the fact you forget so much!
The Sherman's come over a few
Weeks later and brought us papa Murphy's piZza, yum!
And then we got to go see The Candelaria's for Isaiah's birthday! They grow up so fast!
We love living in the Valley, we love being close to family! It was sad to leave grandma and grandpa stucki and Michael, Rochelle, Paityn, Hunter and Brilee, but it's nice that we get to spend more time with the Phoenix family! 
We try to visit the Kingman, like for conference and just for random visit on Sundays coming in in Mondays since Thomas has a delayed weekend!
