Hello old friend.

Hello long lost blog! I think this is the longest I have gone between blogs. It seems like ever since I got my new camera for christmas it has taken FOREVER to figure everything out. But I did it and so alas, here is a post. Things have been great. Busy and great. A couple weekends ago we got the chance to have a free weekend so we headed south and had a little weekends at the cutlers house. My mom and dad came over and brought us our christmas gifts since we weren't able to spend christmas with them this year. We had such a blast playing games and giggling. It was awesome to spend some time with the future family (jana and tate) And to reminiss about the old times. Then the next weekend we had Chad's brother Travis and his family come by for a quick visit. It is always so fun to have family come because my kids love having some other people to play with besides their parents! Then this last weekend we went to Logan for Chad's little brothers wedding. That too was awesome. Chad has such an amazing family and I'm so lucky to be a part of them. All of our kid's are about the same age so they all have so much fun together.

Also.. on a quick sidenote, for christmas my dad suprised me with the most amazing gift I have ever gotten. As some of you know, he served in the Vietnam war. I don't know much about his experience and I am always telling him to write down his memories. I had a grandfather who served in WW2 and I don't know anything about his experience. I know that my children will feel the same if they don't hear about my dad's experience. Well, I opened my gift all alone in my kitchen and I had to sit down because I was so touched from what I saw. My dad had written a book dedicated to me about his war experience. I had no idea the things he went through but in this 100 page book I was able to make sense of most of his life. There aren't many chances we get to be proud of our parents. But this was one for me that I will never forget. I know that I can say "ya, Roger Cutler is my dad" and never be more proud. I love you so much dad. Thank you.

Mike could not figure these headphones out. I was laughing so hard. his face did not change from this...

Trav, Lyndy, Chad and I got bored at the house so we headed to the church to let the kids play. And by kids, I mean Travis and Chad.

Grace decided to get my pump, put on her dance costume, and go pump on the FRONT porch. Thanks grace.

Nope. I played freshman basketball and did cheer the rest.

Oh man... Yes I could. We had to sing that thing 80 million times while we practiced cheer. Halftime was our time to shine!

26. WHAT WOULD YOU CONSIDER YOUR MOST FUN TIME?
There isn't a specific most fun time. But I would have to say my sophmore year. When Lizzy and I were BFF's I think we had so much fun that whole year.I wish that we would have been friends my whole high school because she graduated a year after we got so close ;( Going to cat graves, ping pong tourneys, watching the boys fight with Dan. It was one of the funnest years of my life. I wish I could replay it all the time.

27. WERE YOU CONSIDERED SHY OR OUTGOING?
Definetly outgoing. Most probably wished I was more shy.

28. ANY LAST MEMORIES YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE?
Oh heavens. I just wish that I would have been nicer to people and put myself out there more. I made some friends in high school that I am so close with now, and now I am close with some of them that I wasn't close with in high school. Labels don't matter. I wish I would have known that then. I had such an amazing time. KANAB HIGH FOREVER!!!!

Back in Action!!!

Hello to all of the Staheli blog followers!! I'm sorry for the much needed post, I have been meaning to update forever but I got a new camera for Christmas and I still haven't quite figured out how to transfer and post stuff. Be patient my dears, I'm working on it. Well, we had an AMAZING Christmas, we went to Island Park with Chad's family and it was sooo fun. We got there Christmas eve and the rest of the family was supposed to show up Christmas day, but the weather was SO bad they couldn't come until a few days later. There was a lot of relaxing to be done. We played tonz of games, laughed a lot, cooked a lot, and of course ate a lot. I think I gained 10 pounds while we were there and I'm not kidding! The food was so good and there was so much of it I couldn't help myself. Grace had such an amazing time playing with cousins running around and playing in the snow. Mikey has two cousins right around his same age so we just barracaded off the living room and made a huge play pen for all three. It was lots of fun. As for gifts, well, I got a new camera, a new phone (and a new network, yay verizon!) And some perfume. Chad got a calendar from me for his eyes only ;) (p.s. I highly reccomend this gift for all of you ladies to give your husbands. It was well recieved and SOO much fun to make. Thank you dear Sara. You are the best friend a gal could as for.) Gracie and Mike got a DVD player for the car. BEST GIFT EVER. Chad and I also got to take a tour through Yellowstone on snowmobiles, that was our gift to eachother. Also, a ton of fun. Overall, it was an amazing Christmas. I'm glad to be home and excited to get back into the groove of things. I need to have a shopping trip to hit up the sales. Tia Pan anyone? I hope you all had wonderful holidays. Ours sure was. We drove home new years eve and I fell asleep at 8:00. Nice way to ring in the new year!! Here's the photo's!! Beware, there are a gazillion







I wanna see the mountains in your eyes....

Welcome: This may be the coldest you will ever get in your life. For the next 8 hours.
Me, Chad, Mike

Right before take off. They also had no idea what kind of a trip lay ahead. They were all smiles at this point.

So I just took this tonight. Is she destined to be a math whizz? That is a calculator.
