BLAH!

Today is just one of those days where your physically present,but mentally NOT! Just another BLAH day! : /

Back in Action!

It has been too long&now it's time to get back into it... Now that thee Stotler's have moved back to Utah

Mommy&Daddy have been BUSY! BUSY! BUSY! As much as we loved Vegas&of course our family there it was time to move back HOME! :) It felt more like a vacation than a new beginning for our family... Me&my kids were SUPER DUPER EXCITED,but not so much Rio... He never wanted to come back to Utah unless it was to for a special occasion,holidays,&to visit family&friends... He has his reasons of not wanting to move back,but put all that aside for the well being of our family!

But w.being back our little family has been moving ON WARD! Rio got a job w.in the first two weeks of being back&I recently started working... He's an employee of Sephora&loves it there... I recently started working at Teleperformance for the Expedia.com(Egencia) project.... We LOVE our schedules because it gives us soooooo much more time w.our Tuli&Triton! :) Especially w.them growing so fast we want to be w.them pretty much at all times when not working! The hardest part is leaving them early mornings when they're sleeping,but it's the easiest time to slip away... But as soon as we walk in the door our babies are waiting anxiously w.smiles,hugs,&kisses!

Tuli has been bugging us about wanting to go to Dance School ever since she could talk so FINALLY mommy has put her in dance... She will be dancing for Tehemata! :) She is sooooo excited&is already telling me she doesn't need me there waiting for her... Her first day was this past Monday&she LOVED it! Although she didn't know what she was doing she still had that heart melting smile on her face&doing her best... Now on the other hand my little free spirited, don't care for anything much, beating up his older sister, Mommy's boy son is just a normal little 2 year old! Lol... That kid keeps not only mommy&daddy on our feet,but the whole house... No one can go to bed unless he's sleeping or else the worst of the worse could,might,or will happen... Hahaha! But the BEST BLESSINGS these two are in our lives...

Currently we are attending temple classes&I just received a calling to be in the nursery! Rio&I have held off 4 years to long&will finally be sealed for ALL TIME&ETERNITY! A day that not only him&I have been looking forward too, but our whole family have been waiting for... I wouldn't trade it for the world&would NEVER EVER want this w.anyone else other than my RIO! :) Well back to work I go...

We love&miss you Mom! R.I.L.

The beginning of the year is pretty much a hard time for my husband...

The woman who had&will always have his heart left this Earth,but not our HEARTS!

I never had the chance or opportunity to meet her but I know for a fact she is more than AMAZING!

This one is for you MOM! :)

Today marks the 5th year you've been gone, but NEVER forgotten... 

Not one day goes by that we don't think about you especially Rio...

Not to mention your grand daughter is your name sake&looks so much like you... 

We all know how SMOOTH things would be with you here...

I remember the first time my husband broke down in my arms because he missed her so much...

As he had his head in my lap&shedding his tears I sat trying to figure out what to say...

I lifted his head&told him,"Let's go see mom!"

That did it! We hopped in the car&went to the cemetery.... 

We sat there&talked,laughed,&sang with her for hours!

That is one day I will never forget!

I hear nothing,but SPECTACULAR&AMAZING stories about you...

Can't forget your cooking! Lol...

Every time there's a gathering&food is involved I ALWAYS hear my husband...

"That's my mom's recipe!" "I wish you could of tasted my mom's..." "I miss mom's cooking!"

I know that I will never ever cook like her, but I will do MY BEST! :)

Repeatedly I am told you put others before yourself especially Robert&Rio! 

Everything was those two,but than again they are your EVERYTHING...

I TRULY BELIEVE THAT! 

Just from the first few months of being with Rio I could tell that he was definitely a MAMA'S BOY&that mom did every little&big thing for this guy...

When we first got together Rio was attending Weber State University&lived in an apartment with all guys...

He called me one weekend asking if I can do his laundry because mom always did it for him...

Surely he came down with a hug duffel bag of laundry!

Thanks mom! Lol...

This guy was super spoiled!

I know you never sasa'd them! (Rio still denies it to this day that you did!) 

The stories I love the most are the ones that my husband&Grandma Moemoe tell me...

How you NEVER dressed up&the one time you probably only did was for Rio's graduation...

Or how you were always cooking&cleaning... 

Most of all your LOVABLE PERSONALITY,GORGEOUS SMILE,&UNFORGETTABLE LAUGH...

I can't help myself,but keep a smile on my face...

I start to get teary eyed&wish that you were here that very moment talking stories with us!

I wish you were here all the time...

Now that you have two gorgeous grand babies&many more to come...

Although your not here, all your teachings&examples you left behind I am forever grateful&thankful for...

We love&miss you soooooooo very much!

We promise that 2011 we'll be ETERNAL!

...Families are Forever...  

Ending this with one of your favorite hymns...

I STAND ALL AMAZED

1. I stand all amazed at the love Jesus offers me,

Confused at the grace that so fully He proffers me;

I tremble to know that for me He was crucified,

That for me, a sinner, He suffered, He bled and died.

Chorus: O it is wonderful that He should care for me

Enough to die for me!

O it is wonderful, wonderful to me!

2. I marvel that He would descend from His throne divine 

 To rescue a soul so rebellious and proud as mine;

That He should extend His great love unto such as I,

Sufficient to own, to redeem, and to justify.

3. I think of His side, pierced and bleeding to pay the debt,
Such mercy, such love and devotion can I forget?
No, no! I will praise and adore at the mercy seat,
And testify all my desires He doth fully meet.
