Chett Wacey!!

He Is here! Our new addition Chett Wacey Richards was born August 8, 2012. He fits in perfect and we are loving every minute of him!!

It has been a busy month...

 It started out with my brother Cache going through the temple to prepare for his mission! My mom planned it the beggining of the month because my other  brother was here for a reunion and both me and my sister in law were expecting so we decided it would be a good time before the babies were born. It was such a exciting day to see my little brother at the temple!

Next was the Bisel Family reunion. My kids always look forward to playing up on Bench Creek with cousins and this year did not disappoint. It was so fun to see even DyLan playing with all the cousins!

Chett was not Due until the 19 but because of past pregnancies and births my Dr was going to start me on the 13. Chett decided he was ready to join our family early and came on August 8. It was perfect timing and we are so glad he is in our family. He is such a good little guy and Addey, Reece, and DyLan love him so much!

We had a week before school started but then we had to send the girls off to school. I had mixed emotions about them going, they were my helpers but I knew  they would love school. Addey is in 2nd grade and loves Mrs Bonner.Reece is in 2nd grade and has loved her teacher Mrs Provost.

Wacey and I are adjusting to having 4 kids. My brother asked one day what I had been doing and I said trying to take care of three kids. I had to think about it for a minute and then I told him, well I hope 3 of my kids were taken care of at some point today!!

We LOVE our little family and are so happy we have our FOUR kids. My Aunt told me a little saying my grandma used to say.

 One- you jump and run
 Two- you do too
 Three- you say we will see
 Four- no more

I am happy with our family but I think the saying is right. I have been sad to get rid of my baby girl clothes and I only cried 3 times getting them in the bags to send off to my brother. It is just weird to me that I will never have a baby again. I do howerver know that I will be busy with these 4 and I am so excited to see how the next stage in life goes!!

Back to school and DyLan 10 Months old...

I did not keep up on our summer activities but it is that time of year and I knew I had to post back to school!! I am not sure how I feel about all the milestones in such a short time.

Addey was excited to go back to school. Last year she had Mrs. Wagstaff and at the end of the year she got her letter saying who her first grade teacher would be. I had heard some rumors of some changes but I did not say anything until we got the letter in the mail the beginning of August saying that Mrs Wagstaff would be moving to first grade and Addey would have her again. It took some time to convince Addey that she had passed Kindergarten and she was indeed going to first grad Mrs. Wagstaff was just moving up with her!! We do enjoy Mrs. Wagstaff and it will be a great year of first grade.

Reece did walk out with us to get Addey on the bus but she would not get in the picture since she was not getting on the bus with them. Sydney is Addey's "BFF' and she was so excited to go meet her at the bus the first day!!

Reece was also excited to start school... ok she was MORE than excited to start!! About a month or two ago she came up to me and said " Mom its ok, when I go to school Dylan will be your buddy" Reece has been my buddy for a long time, She has always been content to just be with me and she is just a good girl to hang out and do what I am doing. I could tell she was thinking about going to school and she was so ready but she was thinking about me being without her. What a sweet girl!!

Waiting to go.. It was a long 2 days after Addey had started to wait for Reece's turn.

Reece wanted to ride the bus the first day but I told her I was taking her. We waited for the bus at the school and got in the line and I was going to watch her walk in and leave but she said mom will you walk with me? It didn't take much convincing and I watched her put her stuff in her locker and sit in her class. She looked so big and small at the same time. I could not believe she was kindergarten but those small little desks and those big backpacks made her look so small. Ok so it was so much harder on me than it was her.

Also Dylan turned 10 months old today. He is getting so big and getting into everything. It is a good thing he is my little buddy and can keep me busy while he girls are gone! I truly believe our Heavenly Father knows what he is doing. When I found out I was pregnant, I did wonder. It was a hard time for us and I wondered how we where going to do it.

" A child is God's opinion life should go on!!

Dylan is turning 1 in a couple months and I can not explain the joy he has brought in that time!! I just can not believe he will be a year. The girls love him so much and are such big helpers! Today Wacey called and I was making rolls, he said wow are you bored without the girls or can you do more with them gone. I said BOTH, We miss them a lot but it is easier to get some things done! We are so happy when they come home to play though!!!!

This picture is typical of Dylan right now... To busy to look at the camera!!

Photo shoot and DyLan is 9 Months old!

I have been a total slacker on this blog, but I have been a little busy with these 3 kids of mine!! We have had a busy summer and I was going to document it all but, I am having to much fun. I did however have to post some pics of a photo shoot we did. Dylan turned 9 months old and I have not blogged about him much. He sure did surprise us but it has been no surprise that he fits right into our family. He makes our family even better!! Dylan has been such a good baby and is always smiling and making us HAPPY. He LOVES to play with his SISTERS and be outside. His new accomplishment recently is he is crawling and into EVERYTHING! He also got his first tooth and it is so CUTE. Dylan really enjoyed this July month celebrating and all the activities. He LOVED the Rodeo and the HORSES! His favorite word is uh-oh and he can sign eat, horse, DOG, More, and thank you. His other favorite thing is to play with our new puppy Zip and smack's his lips to have Zip come play with him!! We really are having some SUMMER FUN !

We Love grandpa Bisel

I was looking through my posts and noticed I had a drafted one, it was one I did soon after grandpa died... I do not know why I did not actually post it but it brought back some good memories so I thought I would post it now!!

Thursday of last week I got to spent the whole day with my grandpa!! Looking back it was a great day, I think I have felt a little bad because I do not know if I realized it then... But it really was a great day!! I am not a good writer and I usually get frustrated when I try to write things because they just do not come out like I want them to or how I see other people write, but I just wanted to write a few things down about my grandpa and the last few months I got to spend with him.

I always remember grandpa being a great grandpa but I was reminded of that one day when Reece and I got to grandpa's house and Reece was ready to play and started getting out his bowls and pans. I was busy seeing what pills we needed to give him, as walked in the living room to see Reece feeding grandpa, and even though it was pretend grandpa was going along with it! He was licking each spoon she would hand him and play along saying it was so delicious!! I do not know where Reece got the idea it was "Tonic" but she was saying here is your tonic and grandpa would laugh every time. I reassured grandpa I was not trying to poison him and letting my child give him tonic and I had no idea were she got that from.

Grandpa's knee's would hurt him and Reece and I would rub his legs. One day after getting done grandpa grabbed Reece in his legs and said she was in a bear trap, I don't think she knew quite what to do but he laughed and said oh what are you going to do? Grandpa was never in to much pain to play!! Reece would always help me take grandpa his pills and his lunch, One day Reece was really surprised when she took him his lunch and his teeth were sitting on the table. Again grandpa chuckled and when she asked me why his teeth were out I tried to explain and I was just not doing a great job when grandpa took over and showed her how it all worked!

While I was at grandpa's I would have to leave to pick Addey up from school, grandpa would always ask me what time it was and remind me it was time to go get Addey. Every time Addey would come in the door grandpa would ask to see what she had done in school. We would talk about her day and read grandpa books. The last day we where there Grandpa had been really tired all day and had been sleeping but as I brought Addey home he woke up and gave Addey a big kiss and asked about her day. Addey and Reece where putting chap stick on him and kissing him and combing his hair! Addey and Reece spoke grandpa language, when I would have a hard time understanding what grandpa needed they could usually listen and tell me exactly what he was saying!!

I have been so lucky to have such a wonderful grandpa and I have so many memories with him. I think one thingI will be grateful for is my children getting to spend so much time with grandpa the last few months of his life!! We LOVE grandpa Bisel.
