Riley Turned 4 This Year

2009-09-12T21:46:00.001-07:00

One year older and this year it just had to be Transformers. Grandma Jo and Papa Kevin bought Riley both the Optimus Prime and Bumblebee costumes. He didn't wear them at the party but he has worn them plenty before and after and will be wearing one or both for Halloween. He (we) is (are) blessed to have such wonderful friends and family. He had such a great time, swimming, bouncing, hitting (the pinata), eating, unwrapping, and especially playing. Thank you to everyone who came!

Happy 4th Birthday Riley!!!

Riley picked his own cake. It was perfect!

Lyn had the most dangerous jot of all...holding the pinata.

Here's to wishes coming true.

Riley and the Stamp

2009-09-11T21:35:00.000-07:00

Riley got a hold of our self inking return address stamp. I just couldn't get mad...I shot the pix becuase it was absolutely necessary. Not a drop of black ink on his clothes, his sister, or my house. It could have been so much worse.

Quippy Quote

9ish AM this morning on our way to church.

Riley: Mommy, why is it so smokey outside?
Me: Because there are some fires in CA.
Riley: No, I sink (think) it's because Jesus burned his lunch.

Lyn's cousin Jeff recently got married so we decided to head to Casa Grande, AZ for the festivities. Good times were had by all. We are grateful we were able to make the trip and spend time with Lyn's Grandparents, his aunt Lexi, Uncle Rick, Dana, Matt, and of course Jeff and Melanie. Thank you for a wonderful weekend.

We bowled.

Well the boys bowled...Karlie and I took pictures.

Riley found this hat at Rick and Lexi's house. They were kind enough to let him borrow it and he wore it the entire time we were in AZ.

Karlie loved it when Riley wore the hat...

...so she wanted a turn.

The reception was so much fun. Riley loved the arch and asked me over and over to take his picture in "the cool arch." I tried to get both kids under it but this is as good as it gets.

Grandad danced with all the ladies!

Grandad and his Main Lady!

We danced too!

Lyn and his Grandma.

The kids danced all night.

Sleeping beauty!

Karlie Jo

2009-08-24T21:26:00.000-07:00

It's amazing how much we change in the first year of our life. Karlie is no exception. I'm not quite sure where this year has gone but I have a 15 month old spit fire to prove it's happened.

I think the last photos on my blog of Karlie were when she was maybe 7 or 8 months old. Now she is one so heres a photo dump to update you.

Trapped. Karlie is probably 9 Months

I think she is probably 6 months here but I love this picture.

Karlie and Lauren, 6 months apart. Their first play date.

10 or 11 months. Her first pair of sunglasses.

Still 10 or 11 months. She is learning to take her clothes off.

Trash Treasures compliments of Karlie. We have to be extra careful, she still loves to throw things into the trash can and toilet. She recently threw her toothbrush into the toilet while at a hotel. GROSS!!!

One year old. The very first, and unsuccessful, go at curlers.

Without fail if Karlie hears the fridge open she runs over to climb in.

Folds her arms on command. I make her do it all day long because it is so cute.

Just the other day. Photo courtesy of Riley. No one can get her to smile like her big brother.

**Yes, Karlie has turned one. I can't find the photos but as soon as I do I'll get them posted.**

Swimming

2009-08-24T20:20:00.000-07:00

A few months ago we started swim lessons. Thank you Kay! The first day Riley hopped right in the pool and was excited to learn. Today, the second to last swim lesson was a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STORY. I don't know why he can't just go with the flow ~ It's swimming how much more fun can you get ~ but today Mr. Riley really tried my pateince. Kay and I have no idea what set him off, and I'm so sad it happed, but he melted. Not just a little whimper here and there I mean a complete and utter kicking and screaming melt down. All he would say was he was tired so I got him out of the pool, brought him home, bathed him, and put him to bed.

The blogs I read are covered in stories of happiness, good times, excitement... :( today I just want to cry. Do you blog about that? I guess today I am. I know it's just swim lessons but I guess I am looking at a bigger picture. The picture of parents only wanting whats best for their kids, sacrificing money and time to give them something more. The kids not wanting to listen and making their own decisions and who knows maybe years later resenting the parents for not giving/doing more. If only they (we) knew...

I'm grateful Riley has had this opportunity and I will absolutely continue to work with with him and help him to see that being able to swim is a blessing and that it's also just so much fun!

Ok, ok you mom's with older swimming kids stop laughing at me. Today this was my trial so let me have it! LOL.

**Pics from the first swim lesson**

Christmas 2008

2009-08-24T20:12:00.000-07:00

I promised to Blog so I went the posts I had already started and figured I might as well start somewhere so Christmas 2008 it is. As raw as it is here are some pics from Christmas in CA and then a trip that Riley, Sean, Karlie, my mom and I took to San Francisco.

Ghiradelli at night.

Sean, Riley and I on the trolley.

Karlie on BART.

Just a little shout out to the Gap. Thank you for being so nice to us nursing moms. They were so great to open up this special fitting room in the maternity section so I could nurse Karlie. THEY WERE SO NICE! Thank you.

Riley...on the trolley. I'm sure you never would have figured this one out.

Sean and Karlie on BART.

DARN CUTE KIDS!!! Sadly no new location...BART.

What a good uncle. Let him have it Ri.

Would you believe...still on BART.

*sigh* I have no new words but couldn't resist the faces.

Headed to Church. The good old days when Karlie would keep her bows in.

LEAVES. I love leaves. Real leaves, the kind that fall off the trees during Fall (or winter in CA) and make fun piles to jump in. Riley obviously likes them too. Thanks papa Kevin for doing all the raking.

Nothing better than cousin time. Maddie, George, and Riley hanging in the hot tub with Grandma Jo.

George. So Sweet! LOVE HIS LASHES.

Papa Kevin. Always a good sport. Thanks for walking Riley around the court on his new scooter.

Maddie. The first cousin on my side and the best friend and example a kid could ever want. Thank you Maddie for always making time spent together enjoyable.

Some Christmas pictures.

Maddie and Karlie. The oldest and youngest cousins (as of now ~ Nate and Sean's kids will change that). GIRLS RULE!

Christmas Eve in our penguin PJs.

On the plane actually going to CA.

Bad mom moment. I can't remember, I don't think it is, if this is Karlie's first flight or not. It's a good thing it's documented just in case.

Thank Heaven For Little Boys...and Girls

“Motherhood is near to divinity. It is the highest, holiest service to be assumed by [a woman].”
President McKay

Sometimes I'm not sure I feel this way. However, today...today was such a great day. We were sitting in sacrament meeting listening to all the kids bare their testimonies. Riley heard someone say they loved their mom and dad. He looked at me and said, "Hey. I love my mom and dad!" I said, "you do?" He said, "Yeah. I need to go say that up there." So he and Lyn went up to the pulpit. I thought for sure he would chicken out...HE DIDN'T. My little boy, who at times makes me question my sanity, touched my heart in a way I didn't know possible. I always hope and pray Lyn and I are doing what is best for our kids...who knows if we are but today just making sure Riley was at church to hear the other testimonies, and feel the spirit, and of course bare his own for the very first time is something, and we'll take it.

I'm so happy to be a mom!

Happy New Year

2009-01-03T12:18:00.000-08:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

The Gibsons have just returned from a week and a half in California celebrating Christmas and the New Year!

We had a great time and are happy/sad to be home. I'll post more about our adventure later.

Stacie and Jo Lynn celebrating 2009.

Kevin, Sean and Cheyenne with the poppers.

Riley! He just couldn't last, this is him @ 11:45.

Stacie and Sean.

Sean and "Nate."

The story goes like this. Every year we do matching pajamas for Christmas which is one of my favorite traditions that we've done for as long as I can remember. This year with Nathan serving his mission in the Californians equivalent of the Arctic, Minneapolis, Minnesota, my mom themed everything around PENGUINS since they live in the cold. The picture of Sean and the penguin is the character we had this year to stand in as uncle Nate. My mom...pretty creative. It was great to have "Uncle Nate" with us this holiday season.

This is a picture of Mom and Kevin with the grandkids...in the matching pajamas.

Wishing You and Yours

A Very Merry Christmas

For my Mom

2008-11-28T14:22:00.000-08:00

Mom, yesterday we had a conversation about you not knowing how to look at my blog. Hopefully you figured it out because here is your granddaughter wearing my dress, yes the pink dress that I wore as a baby. This actually isn't the first time she wore it but it very well may be the last so I figured I would get a picture for you.

I love you!

Memory Card Dump

2008-11-25T10:31:00.001-08:00

So much time has passed...here are a few things that have been happening in our neck of the woods.

The Air Show ~ 11/8/08 (I think)

Lyn and Riley in front of an F16 Falcon

Lyn and Riley in front of a WWII Bi-plane.

Riley in front of one of the 32 landing gears on a C5.

Riley and Jack in front of part of the fire suppression system on a C5.

**Thanks Papa family for letting us know about the air show, the boys had a great time!**

More Joy School

2008-11-25T10:30:00.000-08:00

11/11/08
At Joy School on the 11th Christine had the the letter I. She gave the kids nets and they caught "I"nsects. Riley had a great time, in fact he had such a great time that he came home and caught his sister so mommy caught him back.

11/19/08
We got to have Joy School at our house the next week, we had the letter "J". Part of the fun we had that day was "J"umping on our little trampoline. I didn't expect all the kids to do it at the same time. The kids also got to have snacks, they had "J"uice, "j"ell-0 "j"igglers in the shapes of J's, and peanut butter and "J"elly sandwiches...which I found out a few of the kids didn't like. Sorry kids.

Riley

2008-11-25T10:25:00.000-08:00

11/06/08
The terrifying and glorious thing about being a parent...

...they want to be just like you!

11/13/08 (I think)
Lyn and Riley on a BBM (Big Boy Mission) to see Madagascar 2. He made sure to take Marty and Alex ~ check out the cup holders. I love that when Riley attaches to a toy it goes everywhere with him. Obviously it was appropriate to take these toys to this movie but they are still going everywhere with us. :)

Sometime during October and November 2008

Riley hates to color but loves to pain so I'm always looking for new things for him to paint. He of course paints pictures, himself, blank paper and jars. This day we painted a wood truck and bus that we found at Walmart. Check out his artistic prowess! Yes, that is paint on his ear, of course when painting we get it EVERYWHERE. When he was finished he said, "Look mom two Berties." That's what I was going for, I love that he figured it out!

11/1/08

Leaving kids to their own devices and this is what they do.

This is the cauldron we use to hold our candy that we give to our trick-or-treaters on Halloween. Of course we had leftovers so he dumped the candy out on the floor and climbed in.

Growing UP...Sort Of

2008-11-25T10:23:00.000-08:00

Karlie is growing up so fast. She has started sitting up. With and without help from the boppy.

She gets to sit in a high chair...

and a walker.

But the more grown up Karlie gets the more Riley reverts.

One thing is for sure, Riley loves his sister VERY much!

Thanks Honey

2008-11-19T23:52:00.000-08:00

Lyn and Riley go from time to time on what they call "Big Boy Missions." This is obviously just outings so that the big boys can spend some quality time together. Today their BBM took them to the outlet mall. They rode all the rides and did some shopping. I always look forward to them coming home because I love to see Riley's face light up when he comes through the door. Well today his face was extra bright because he had bought a present for mommy.

(Disclaimer: Yes I am a fan of Twilight and I am looking forward to the movie tomorrow but I'm not mad fanatic about it, i.e. I am going to the movie at midnight but I'm not dressing up...)

My sweet boys had bought me the soundtrack to the movie, and a key chain ~ yup, Cullen Crest and everything. I probably never would have picked out such a fantastic gift as the Cullen Crest Key Chain for myself. However, since it was given to me from my boys I smiled, said thank you and happily put it on my key chain with the rest of my keys.

Thank you Lyn and Riley for thinking of me, you made my day!

Come one Come All

2008-11-07T07:36:00.000-08:00

As you know the much anticipated release of Twilight is upon us. This post is a formal invitation to anyone who wants to join us to see the movie. We are headed to Redrock on the 20th at 12:01 AM. Yes, we are doing it Harry Potter Style.

If you'd like to come with us grab your ticket on http://www.fandango.com/. Hopefully we will see you there.

~Stacie

Where has the time gone?

2008-11-05T11:51:00.000-08:00

Karlie Jo is 5 months old today!

In the hospital on June 5, 2008; and at home November 5, 2008.

I can't believe how quickly time is flying. She is in the 60-75th percent for head, height, and weight; She is 15 LBS. She has officially started "solids," if you can call rice cereal that, and LOVES it.

Happy 5 month birthday baby girl. We love you!

The Mermaid

2008-11-01T17:25:00.000-07:00

My girlfriend called the other day and asked if we wanted to go see the mermaid. Who doesn't want to see a mermaid; so we headed over to Bass Pro shop, a win-win for the entire family because it's fun for adults AND kids. Here's what we saw...

We love friends. Ethan, Kate and Riley next to the enormous fish tank.

Kate and Riley watching the show.

Even Karlie enjoyed herself.

Happy Halloween

2008-10-27T16:36:00.001-07:00

Here are the most recent photos of the family; Too bad we aren't all in the same one. They are from our wards trunk or treat. Riley is Spiderman and Karlie is a ladybug.

Karlie with mommy and daddy. I just wore a witches hat and Lyn went as "Edward."

It looks like "Spiderman" caught a ladybug in his web.

Ok. Tagged by Kim a while ago, love you girl, thanks for thinking for me. Sadly, I don't really get what I'm supposed to do. That being said, Kim posted the 4th picture in her 4th folder so I'm going to do that then tag someone. Sound good? Great. Here goes.

Wait for it......

........

Good old Riley! Maybe it's not the best photo, certainly on searching for my 4th picture in my 4th folder I had hoped that it would be earth shattering. Shoot, after finally seeing what the actual photo is I'd be happy if the pajamas (yes he's outside in his PJs ~ don't judge me) he'd slept in the night before matched.

My turn to tag... I challenge, LOL, as though my photography skill could be touched, my photography inclined girls, THE BRIT's, and my sister Kaley. Hit it ladies.

Eight Years and Counting

2008-10-20T14:29:00.000-07:00

Eight years ago today Lyn and I were sealed in the Oakland Temple.

I married my best friend. Yes, my best friend and I have had a few fights but through it all we've come out on top.

So to Lyn, I'm grateful to you for loving me even though the house isn't clean. I'm grateful to you for loving me even though you know ALL my thoughts no matter how insecure they may be. I'm grateful to you for the unconditional love and support you offer to me and our babies. I'm grateful to you for loving me each and every day!

We've built a beautiful life.

We've picked up and moved to a new state, graduated school, had a baby, bought a house, and had another baby.

I can't imagine life with anyone else. Thank you for eight excellent years.

I LOVE YOU!

Ladies Man

Riley is in Joy School with five little girls. Talk about fantastic odds.

They have "school" once a week and the moms take turns hosting at their house. We had our very first turn on the 6th of October. My job was to introduce the letter E and the color purple. We learned about elephants, eggs, elmo and envelopes. We made elephant ears, colored, found purple E's that I had hid around the house and mailed letters home in envelopes.

Truthfully, I don't think I taught them a single thing but I LOVED having the kids at my house and seeing Riley interact with his friends. Here is a picture of snack time with their ears on.

"Everyone's Hero"

2008-10-03T09:32:00.000-07:00

This is a little movie about a boy, Yankee Irving, who has to recover "Darlin' " Babe Ruth's baseball bat and return it to Babe. It's a cute movie that has a talking baseball and bat. Obviously there's no deep plot but little boys seem to enjoy it.

Anyone who know Riley knows that he takes his movies to heart and usually recreates them in our day to day life.

This morning we found "daddy's darlin' " as appropriately named by Riley. The only thing left for Riley to do was to put his talking ball, which we found at the 99 cent store yesterday and drew faces on, i.e. angry, sad, happy, and "daddy's darlin' " in his "pack pack" (backpack) and walk around outside travelling to Chicago to give "Darlin' " back to Babe Ruth. He cracks me up with the stories he comes up with and plays out. Here's my little, Yankee Irving.

Grandparents/Great Grandparents

2008-10-01T23:19:00.000-07:00

I was lucky enough as I was growing up to know quite a few of my great grandparents. Sure, as a kid I didn't understand how important the relationships were that I had with them, nor did I realize how rare it was to have such close relationships. Obviously as an adult I look back and treasure all the time I spent with them and the fond memories I have.

This year has been special for us first because we added Karlie to our family. Secondly because were able to introduce her to both my grandma, Grandma Hagen, who lives in Salt Lake and also Lyn's grandparents, Grandma and Grandad Gibson, who live in White Mountain Lake, Arizona.

This post is simply to say how much we love both my parents and Lyn's parents and thank them for being such incredible grandparents to our kids. Also to share the same sentiment with our grandparents and to thank them for being such incredible great grandparents. Our goal is to give our kids the same opportunities with them that we had.

How do you pick just one...

2008-09-13T15:23:00.000-07:00

Oh to have the photography talent.

Brit Dye took a few (209) photos of Karlie the other day. The pictures were so great that I wanted to post at least one. Of course I couldn't pick just one so here are a few from Karlie's very first photo shoot.

Thanks Brit for taking the time to take these great pictures!

You Go Girl!

2008-08-14T22:48:00.000-07:00

Just a note to Brit Dye.

I am so proud of you for following through with the wager when losing the toothpick game at Coronado's game night. I know you HATE to lose but it shows real sportsmanship to jump into the pool with all your clothes on. Way to be a trooper.

I just wish I would have been there to see it!

Future Friendship in the Making

2008-07-29T12:33:00.000-07:00

14 Years ago I attended Dixie (now State, then Junior) College. I was blessed to make some wonderful friends most of which I'm still close to. Shauna, one of my college girlfriends, and her family, husband Garrett and daughter Averi, came to town for a mini vacation. They stayed at our house for one night then headed to the South Point. Saturday was so enjoyable. We chatted for most of the day, we took naps, had dinner at Olive Garden, which anyone who knows Riley knows that he LOVES the mac-n-cheese there, then the boys went and saw a movie while the girls bathed kids and put them to bed. As I was disciplining Riley for bouncing his sister off the Aerobed I looked at Shauna and we started to laugh. Who would have thought that this would be our life 14 years later. You never know when you meet someone if you will maintain that friendship. She and I are grateful we did and we are happy that we are able to experience things together, even if it is just a normal night of baths and naughty steps.

I had Averi come hang out with Riley and I so her mom and dad could go out to dinner. We (the kids and I) decided to make some pizzas. They did a great job and had a lot of fun cooking and playing the night away. Hopefully they can build a friendship that will last 14+ years.

Here are the pix of our pizza making extravaganza!

Saucing their pizzas.

Cheese and Pepperoni.

Time to cook the pizzas.

Cheers! Two pizzas well made.

YUM! Time to eat.

Averi.

Riley.

Time to play.

The Clarks. (This picture was taken of them by their 3 year old daughter, Averi. She did a great job.)

I love my friends, ALL OF THEM, and am so grateful to every single one for touching my life and making it brighter.

Naps

2008-07-19T16:42:00.001-07:00

Just a quick note to celebrate the first ever nap taken by both of my kids AT THE EXACT SAME TIME!!!! Hopefully this is the first of many to come.

ALL THINGS SPIDERMAN

2008-07-18T15:58:00.000-07:00

My little boy is all grown up, or so he says.

Riley turned 3 on July 16th, we didn't have his party that day but we went to the movie with friends Jack, Ty, Tori and Trace. It was Riley's first experience with Veggie Tales. On July 17th we had a litttle party for him, thank you to Daniel and Brit Dye's parents ~ they let us use their incredible back yard. We swam and BBQ'd and had a great time. I didn't take many swim pictures but luckily one of our reisdent photographers was on point and did. So, to see more of the swimming check out Brit Dye's Blog http://danielandbrittneydye.blogspot.com/! Riley has been saying that he was going to have a spiderman birthday for week so what else could we do but Spiderman.

Here's the birthday boy with his presents.

Riley's Spiderman Cake

Riley and Ty opening presents

Riley and Ty wearing their spiderman masks.

Too much partying did him in.

Riley's presents revisited. Riley tore through his gifts so quickly that I set them back up so he could actually see what he got. This is what he came down to the next morning.

I love my little (grown up) boy more than words can describe. Thank you Riley for making my life richer. Happy 3rd Birthday!!!!!

Thank you also to great friends! We treasure the frienships we have made here in Las Vegas and in our Ward and look forward to many more BBQs, birthday parties, and gatherings in genereal!

My Kids

2008-07-15T11:45:00.000-07:00

Riley doesn't eat...well not traditionally anyway. I'm always looking for ways to get him to try new things. Someone told me (It may be Kate from John & Kate plus Eight) that you should get your children involved in making what they will be eating. With that thought in mind I asked Riley what he wanted to eat for lunch. He said, "sandwich." This is his usual response. I've made many a sandwich never to be eaten. Today I decided to let him make his own sandwich thinking he might actually eat it.

That didn't work!!! He ended up toasting some bread. Ahhh, the good old stand by.

Who knew 5 AM could be so enjoyable. Karlie and I were up nursing at 5 this morning and she was so awake and happy that I couldn't help but take her picture, which of course stimulated her quite a bit and kept us up longer than intended but worth every minute!!!!!

Filling Our Days

2008-07-12T12:36:00.000-07:00

Being a stay at home mom compared to a working mom has its own set of obstacles. When I was working I was so busy that my days basically filled themselves. Now, staying at home, which is by far the option I prefer, I find that I am busy but with different things. Diapers, naps, baths, little pools outside, feeding Karlie (which takes a good part of my day), laundry, dishes etc... Certainly we could spend money but that isn't always the most effective time filler. My biggest obstacle is entertaining Riley. I want him to enjoy his days but at times I find that I'm not as compassionate to his needs as I should be. I am going to make a better effort for him so his days aren't so long and boring. It's not earth shattering but here's a glimpse of what we did today...

Played Bob the Builder

Took a shower after a yogurt fiasco.

Yes, that is a whale in the shower

Played Trains!

I don't think a day goes by that we don't play trains.

Karlie's Blessing

2008-07-09T15:13:00.001-07:00

Karlie was blessed by her dad on the 29th of June, 2008. She was the very first baby to be blessed in our brand new ward, the Southern Hills Ward. Karlie was able to have her Grandma Jo, Grandpa, and Uncle Sean here from California; her Aunt Hilarye and Uncle Reid from Salt Lake and Grandma, Grandad, and Aunt Melodye, who live in Henderson, here to participate in her blessing.

Karlie's blessing was beautiful! We are so grateful to our family and friends for supporting us and being with us on her special day.

The Gibson Family

We were very fortunate to have many good friends and family participate in Karlie's blessing. From left: Kevin Kyner, Sean Hadlock, Riley, Grandpa, Lyn, Karlie, Grandad, Reid Fuller. Missing from the photo but not forgotten were Daniel Dye and Joe Utley. Uncle Dave and Uncle Nate (who is busy laboring in the Minneapolis Minnesota Mission) were unable to attend and were missed.

Riley loves his sister so much!

Riley is a Big Brother

2008-07-09T00:09:00.000-07:00

She's here!!! Well actually she, Karlie Jo, arrived a month ago. Riley is thrilled, he is the best big brother. He loves his sister dearly and takes such good care of her.

Karlie was delivered at St. Rose San Martin on the 5th of June @ 4:40 PM. She weighed 7 LBS 11 OZ. Her delivery was flawless. Those present at her birth ~ Stacie...CHECK, Lyn...CHECK, Grandma Jo...CHECK, Marie (Nurse 1)...CHECK, Jodie (Nurse 2)...CHECK, Doctor Miller...CHECK, FOUR NURSING STUDENTS...CHECK. As you can see it was a packed house. When we got to the hospital we were greeted by a room full of nursing students who were more than eager to take care of us. San Martin isn't utilized very much yet so there really hadn't been a lot of action for these poor students. Needless to say they were extremely excited to have an actual patient. At first I was nervous and slightly hesitant but in the end having so many people there solidified the fact that Karlie and I were VERY WELL taken care of!!!!

Here are a few photos from Karlie's big day.
