Stoner's

On August 29th, 2012. I welcomed my second niece into this world. On that day, I was working in Cedar City and was coming past Duck Creek when I got a call from a number I did not recognize. I didn't answer, not only because I did not have hardly any service, but because I was not sure who it was. I got about half way between Tod's Junction and Duck Creek and I got the voicemail. It was from my mom, she said. Tessla is at the hospital. Her water broke and we are waiting to see the doctor. I panicked!!! I was over 4 hours away at that exact moment and was afraid I wouldn't make it there in time. I stopped at Tod's Junction and tried to call the number back. I got my mom on the phone and she said that Tessla had just seen the doctor and that she was at a 6 and fully effaced. I knew at that exact moment I was not going to make it in time.

Cason's First Week of School - Kindergarten So many mixed emotions for me. I took Cason to his first day of school and I  felt so sad to leave him there. He did great and is already learning so much. His teacher is Mrs. Christensen (Shelley is how I know her, she used to be my young women's teacher). I hope she is able to keep Cason in line. He has to have his mind constantly doing something challenging or he gets bored and gets into trouble. So far, so good. Lets hope he doesn't cause her too much grief this year! He wants to be a fire fighter Cason next to Vincent
