It has happened...I've run out of photo space on this blog...and because we can not afford even an extra $2.50 a month for extra storage space, I've started a new family blog, <a href="http://ssmccuen.blogspot.com/">http://ssmccuen.blogspot.com/</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a hard time with change, even little changes...like changing my blog address.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I've set up this new blog I've had pangs of sadness at leaving our
old blog. I know it's just an address, but still, I started that blog
right after Stephen and I got married and there are so many fond
memories recorded there. I am super sappy, I know. I remember when I
finished my first journal, I cried. Mostly because I had come to view
that journal almost as a friend, kind of like Ginny in Harry Potter...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, with a pang of sadness, I close this chapter and open a new one.</div>Stephen and Sianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01053154898313016810noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1459625211622368697.post-47196240179890425662012-07-04T21:30:00.000-06:002012-07-05T00:25:22.306-06:00Happy 4th of July!<div style="text-align: center;">
I love 4th of July. When I was younger it usually meant a visit to Grandma Hepworth in Salt Lake City, playing with cousins, eating yummy food, and doing and watching fireworks. Or it found us in some obscure place in the middle of America, on the side of the road lighting off fireworks. You see, my dad never likes to be home on his birthday, which was <a href="http://stephenandsianmccuen.blogspot.com/2012/07/my-dad.html" target="_blank">yesterday</a>, July 3rd, he would rather be driving somewhere with his family. So the 4th of July either found us at my grandparents house or on our way across the country. It worked out well because the state of California doesn't allow you to set off your own fireworks and my brothers are pyros so setting off fireworks is pretty much their favorite things to do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So anyway, we never really had a "normal" 4th of July. You know the parade, huge family BBQ and night time fireworks display. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But since Stephen and I got married, we pretty much have stayed around home, with the exception of last year when we went to <a href="http://stephenandsianmccuen.blogspot.com/2011/07/4th-of-july-idahoan-adventures.html" target="_blank">Idaho</a>. This year was no different. This morning we went to the Provo Freedom Festival where there are tons of different fun things to do, eat and, look at. We walked around, looking at the different booths with items for sale, a free kids craft area, an entertainment area, and different foods for sale. I'm actually excited to go again next year because Will will have so much more fun with the kids craft area. It was so hot so we didn't stay too long but it was so fun and we'll definitely be going back next year.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
On the way back to the car we stopped at this cool printing museum that has a working Gutenberg printing press. Stephen and I thought it was cool, Will, however, was done with a capitol D.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We all came home after the Freedom Festival and crashed. And after a nap we had a BBQ with our friend, Liesl, whose husband was working all day, and her son, Oliver. We had burgers, hotdogs, some yummy rolls that Liesl made, and fruit. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We also played in the kiddy pool and laughed a lot. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Will had a great time playing in the water and not wearing any clothes. </div>

Because we had two tired boys we didn't stay up for any fireworks, maybe next year. </div>Stephen and Sianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01053154898313016810noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1459625211622368697.post-11877532288755043642012-07-03T10:23:00.002-06:002012-07-03T10:23:41.198-06:00My Dad<div style="text-align: center;">
Today is my dad's birthday. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not really sure how old he is but I'm pretty sure he doesn't remember either.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember when he turned 45, I tried to put 45 candles on his peach cobbler and I set the peach cobbler on fire.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My dad doesn't really like cake, he likes peach cobbler instead. I don't blame him, my grandma's peach cobbler is really yummy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My dad looks a little scary when you first meet him, but as soon as he smiles he's not scary anymore. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am the only one of his 6 children to have his blue eyes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My dad really wants to teach his daughters to be tough and self reliant. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember when I was 12, he took my sister and I backpacking in the Sierra Nevadas. I'm sure we complained a lot about backpacking and about catching our own dinner, but he didn't seem to mind. That is still one of my favorite memories of my dad.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My dad and I have very similar temperaments and as a teenager, I was surprised more then once when he knew exactly how I was feeling. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I call my dad sir. I'm not sure why but as far back as I remember, I've called him that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My dad calls me, little girl. I hope he does forever.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My mother is the social flower of the relationship. My dad doesn't talk much but when he does, you best take care to listen because he usually has something insightful or extremely interesting to say.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My dad knows a lot about a lot of things. I don't think I've ever asked him a question about something that he hasn't read about or done.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My dad loves to read. He reads all kinds of things. From gardening books to religious books, he reads them all, but his favorite are fantasy/science fiction. I got my love of reading from him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My dad loves his family way more than anything else. He works hard at a job he doesn't really like so he can take care of his family. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last month when I was really sick and couldn't be alone, he drove 12 hours here and 12 hours back just to bring my sister so Stephen could go to school and Will and I wouldn't be alone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He has also driven all through the night when my sister and I were in labor, just to get my mom here so she could be here for the delivery of our babies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He loves his grandchildren. I wish we lived closer so we could see them more, hopefully one day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Will looks almost like a carbon copy of my dad when he was young. I hope Will grows up to be as good of a man as my dad is.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am the luckiest girl in the world to have such an amazing dad. I only hope that I can be as amazing of a parent to my children.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love you, Sir!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Birthday! </div>

Will has been obsessed with apples lately. We have a Dr. Seuss book called <i>Ten Apples Up On Top </i>and I think we read it at least 4 times a day. Since then Will has decided that all round fruit are apples. Every morning his first words to me are "apple, mommy, apple!" Which means "mommy I want some yummy fruit for breakfast." Since apples are out of season we've been eating a lot of peach "apples," nectarine "apples," and even some apricot "apples.'' I do have to say, however, I'm so glad he actually likes fruit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Will enjoying some peach "apples." Yes, that is peach all down his front, he gets really mad if I try to cut up the peaches and make them "un-appley". </div>

It has been an incredible 4 years, I can't wait to see what the next 4 years brings.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love you forever, Stevie!</div>Stephen and Sianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01053154898313016810noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1459625211622368697.post-8670528301921903722012-06-17T20:24:00.000-06:002012-06-17T20:24:02.632-06:00Happy Father's Day!<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so lucky to have so many amazing men in my life. I have the best father a girl could ask for. He inspires me to be a better person and a better parent. I have incredible brothers, none of who are fathers yet but they are astounding brothers and fabulous uncles. I have an amazing father-in-law and brother-in-law who taught Stephen all he needed to know to be a daddy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And then there is my most favorite guy in the world, Stephen. He really is the perfect man. He goes to school, works, cooks, cleans, and helps take care of Will. He has had to be the mom and dad more times than I care to admit but he never complains. I could not ask for a better companion or a better father for Will.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of my favorite things is listening by the door when Stephen puts Will to bed. Because he's busy with school, Stephen's rarely home when Will goes to bed, but when he is, he loves to put him to bed. I love hearing their giggling and conversation. I love listening to Stephen tell Will a bed-time story and tucking him in. I love listen to Will's little voice say, "Nigh-nigh, Daddy." And Stephen's reply of, "Good night, buddy, I love you so much."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love how Will mirrors everything that Stephen does. Even when Stephen's at school or work. I also love that Stephen is aware of that but he doesn't need to change any behaviors because he's an amazing man already. </div>

Just in the last few weeks Will has become ridiculously silly. He walks around the house with things on his head, he makes jokes, he rides trash cans... the thing is, he's actually funny. He not only makes me laugh but anyone else that's around us does too. Maybe he'll be a comedian some day, who knows?</div>

Last month my brother, Ammon, and his wife, Monica, came for a visit and Will had his very first ice cream cone. He LOVED it.</div>

He decided he didn't want to finish the cone after the ice cream was
gone so he decided to share his nasty cone with a random stranger.
That's my boy, so nice to share with others!<br />

We spend our days outside with our friends and watching, reading and talking about trains, Will's new obsession :)</div>Stephen and Sianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01053154898313016810noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1459625211622368697.post-67947639971493236322012-05-24T18:09:00.000-06:002012-05-24T18:09:21.418-06:00Growing, Growing, Growing...Hopefully<div style="text-align: center;">
For Mother's Day, Stephen and Will gave me some Topsy Turvys, you know those things you grow tomatoes upside-down in? I've wanted some for ages and they finally got me some. This past Saturday we went to a nursery to hunt down some plant sprouts and hopefully we came home with some super hearty plants.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I am a horrible gardener, I have killed everything I previously tried to grow. I'm not sure where this black thumb tendency came from, my dad is an exceptional gardener. He can grow anything, I think that gene may have skipped me :). It is something I want to change, however. We've had our plants for almost a week and none of them are dead!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The boys got me two Topsy Turvys that also grow herbs, each planter has two tomato plants growing out the bottom and a few on the lowest "portals." </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We are also growing thyme, basil, peppermint, and rosemary in the Topsy Turvy planters. I'm hoping to get some strawberry plants for some of the empty "ports".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

In two other hanging planters, we decided to grow dill and cilantro.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I hear cilantro grows like crazy and I'm excited to see how far it has already grown since we planted them on Saturday. You see that little gnome friend? His name is Jack, he keeps water in his head in case I forget to water my cilantro plant. </div>

I have only used dried dill thus far but I hear fresh dill is SO much better so I thought I try to grow some. They seem to be growing quickly too. This little gnome friend is named Jill, she also protects my plants against neglect.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to take pictures every week so that I can see the differences</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here it is, week one of my plants' lives. Here's to hoping that they are all alive next week!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Today was the funeral of a friend of mine in our ward in
Wymount.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Alice was a wife, a mother, and
an amazing woman. She passed away last week due to complications from
childbirth. She gave birth to her third child, her first girl, on two
Wednesdays ago and by the next Tuesday, she had passed away. It hit our little
community hard, especially us mothers. You see one of the perks of living with
the cinder-block is an amazing quad in the middle of all our apartments with a
grassy area and a playground. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everyday
of good weather brings all the mothers out of their too small apartments, into
the quad to watch their children play. Our little community of mothers sits
outside watching our kids play and we chat, complain, swap cooking and cleaning
tips and laugh. Many of these days saw Alice out with her two boys, Charlie and
Edward. She often brought a book with her but would end up not reading much
because the rest of us would bug her too much. I loved to watch her play with
her boys and the joy I would see on her face as they brought things to show her
and to ask her questions. She was also an amazing pianist. I loved to listen to
her play. She studied in Europe and was revered as one of the best pianist in
the world, and she was only 33.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Her death has hit me rather hard, partially because she was
friend, so full of life, and so young, but also because of those she left
behind. I cannot fathom being a single parent and the grief her husband and
children are feeling. I was so amazed at her husband’s composure when he spoke
about his sweet wife at her funeral. I knew he was so sad but I think he wanted
to be strong for their boys. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Her death has also reminded me how grateful I am for the
Savior and eternal families. You see, in our church, we believe that when
husbands and wives are sealed together, they are together forever, not just for
this earthly life. I know that Alice and Kirt, her husband, will be together
again and their family will be reunited in the spirit world. I also know that
the Savior not only suffered for our sins in Gethsemane but also all our pain
and suffering as well. I may not truly understand what sadness Kirt is feeling
but I know that the Savior does. I also know that no matter how frustrated or
sad or depressed or sick I am, the Savior knows how I feel and I truly take
comfort in that. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I hope I can make the impact in peoples’ lives the way Alice
did. I know that Alice’s spirit will continue to make an impact on people as
well. I know that she has made an impact in my life.</div>Stephen and Sianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01053154898313016810noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1459625211622368697.post-27530206226245728202012-05-13T07:51:00.000-06:002012-05-14T07:55:15.096-06:00Happy Mother's Day!<div style="text-align: center;">

Then came the best part, I got to take a nap! Stephen took Will outside and I slept and slept and then slept some more! It was GLORIOUS!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We ended that day by going to my uncle Glen's for dinner with my older brother, Ammon, who is in town on work for the weekend. It was great to spend time with family and I didn't have to cook or do any dishes :). Tomorrow night, Stephen is going to make steak and potatoes for my Mother's Day dinner, that way Mother's Day will last longer.</div>

3 weeks ago I had hernia surgery. The doctor told me that I couldn't lift anything more then 20 pounds for two weeks to a month after the surgery and since Will is currently 30 lbs we thought it would be a good time to change him from a crib to a toddler bed. We also took down the changing table and moved all my craft supplies to our storage closet so Will would have a closet of his own.</div>

I made these curtains out of a shower curtain. All I did was cut the shower curtain down the middle and sew the seams. Funnily enough, it's hanging on a shower curtain rod with shower curtain hooks. Because of our cinder-block walls, I have to get creative.</div>

Spring has sprung here in Provo and it's getting hot, well maybe not hot but definitely pretty warm. Today one of the dads in the quad got out a sprinkler and a baby swimming pool. The quad kids had a BLAST splashing around the pool and running through the sprinkler.<br />
Will was first in the sprinkler and first in the pool. He really loves the water! <br />

It was such a fun time! I can't wait for summer and more fun days like this!</div>Stephen and Sianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01053154898313016810noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1459625211622368697.post-52684942171088678212012-04-18T22:25:00.010-06:002012-04-18T22:25:00.100-06:00Contemplation on Trials<div style="text-align: center;">I'm not sure why I feel the need to blog about hard things. Perhaps it's that I feel freer putting things out there where anyone can read them. It is almost like releasing a huge held breath. I also feel it is important to document my trials for my children because this is the only journal I have. </div><div style="text-align: center;">It has not been an easy year for our little family, mostly in regards to my health and how it affects my boys. You can read about some of them <a href="http://stephenandsianmccuen.blogspot.com/2012/02/ticking-time-bomb.html" target="_blank">here</a>. I try not to feel guilty about how much slack Stephen has taken up with Will and the housework but often times when I see how tired he is, I can't help but feel guilty. He tells me not to but most times I can't help it.I feel bad that sometimes dinner isn't made, the house isn't clean and Will is most definitely not powder fresh when Stephen gets home from school. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But things are looking up. Not because my trials are going away but because I'm changing my attitude towards them. Often times when I have bad things going on in my life I feel like I'm the only one going through trials, that everyone else's life is great and they have no problems. I get SO selfish when bad things happen to me. A few weeks ago we had an amazing lesson at church about trials, why we have them, and how we can deal with them and still be happy. All of the things the teacher said, I already knew to some degree but I needed to hear them again and recommit myself to be a happier person. Since then I have been a happier person and I know that both Stephen and Will have noticed a difference.<br />
<br />
I found out last weekend that I have 2 hernias in my abdomen and that I'm going to have surgery tomorrow to fix them. That means no lifting at all for a month, including Will, which will be really hard but we put him in a toddler bed last night for the first time, I'll blog about that later though :)</div>Stephen and Sianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01053154898313016810noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1459625211622368697.post-3023171091319307092012-04-08T21:17:00.109-06:002012-04-12T21:34:41.494-06:00Happy Easter!<div style="text-align: center;">We have been having a great Easter week!

We had ham, scalloped potatoes, carrot cake, green beans, and rolls. It was so yummy! It was also so fun to hang out and chat with the family.

You might find it boring. <br />
Will turned 18 months old this past Saturday and today he had his 18 month check up.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here are his stats:</div><div style="text-align: center;">Weight: 29 lbs~ 94th %tile</div><div style="text-align: center;">Head: 19.75 in.~ 98th %tile</div><div style="text-align: center;">Height: 36 in.~ 100th %tile</div><div style="text-align: center;">That's right, my baby boy is 3 FEET TALL! Holy cow! The nurse remeasured Will 3 times because she couldn't believe that he was that tall.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Will also got his last shot until Kindergarten, YAY!! He was a champ and only cried for a second. The doctor was also super impressed by Will's verbal and fine motor skills.</div><div style="text-align: center;">It was a little hard to go to a new pediatrician today. Will's pediatrician, <a href="http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=19665569" target="_blank">Dr. Gregory Nielson</a> passed away a few weeks ago and we went to see new one in the same group. Will was a little nervous around Dr. Lauret at first but he warmed up to him after a few minutes. I am so grateful for a great pediatricians' office that has amazing doctors. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Here are a few things that are awesome things that Will is doing right now:</div><div style="text-align: center;">He's in size 3T. </div><div style="text-align: center;">He wears size 5 diapers.</div><div style="text-align: center;">He LOVES being outside, the first thing he asks me to do in the morning is open his blinds so he can see the tree outside.</div><div style="text-align: center;">He can say 100+ words.</div><div style="text-align: center;">He loves to push things. He could push his little car around our quad all day and be perfectly happy.</div><div style="text-align: center;">He is great at sharing.<br />
He has the best smile.<br />
He still loves music and loves to dance. His favorite dance move right now is the turn and squat, it's pretty awesome to watch.<br />
His favorite foods are; salsa, yogurt, bananas, oatmeal, cuties, spaghetti, salmon, and peas.<br />
He loves to dip things. He dips EVERYTHING, sometimes it doesn't go so well.<br />
He knows when he needs a diaper change and tells me.<br />
He went to nursery, a children's class at our church, for the first time last Sunday and he LOVED it. He didn't even care that mom and dad were leaving, he was so excited to play with his friends and with fun toys :)<br />
He loves going down the slide.<br />
He loves his blanket and gets excited when it's bedtime because he can go cuddle with it.<br />
He loves books. His favorites include; <i>Good Night Moon, Skippyjon Jones, </i>and<i> Dr. Suess ABC </i>book.<br />
He sleeps from about 6:30 pm to 7:00 am.<br />
He only has one 2 to 3 hour nap a day.<br />
He loves tools! He has his own mini tool belt and some days it's hard to get him to take it off.<br />
He loves bathtime.<br />
He can't wait until Daddy comes home. Sometimes he'll knock on the front door and say, "Daddy, bye!"<br />
He loves to mooch snacks off his friends, especially on the playground. It doesn't matter if I have the same snack, he wants it from someone else.<br />
He's a pretty happy little dude.<br />
His favorite animal is a monkey. Specifically his sock monkey, he sleeps with it every night.<br />
Some of his favorite phrases are; "Look at that!", "I so silly!", "Dude!", "Hi, Buddy.", "I did it!", and "That so funny!"<br />
He loves cars and trucks. He still makes those really guttural sounds for cars instead of just, "broom, broom."<br />
He folds his arms for almost an entire prayer.<br />
He is just starting to play with the other kids in our quad and gets excited when his friends are on the playground.<br />
He tries to wink at me but just blinks, it's still pretty cute though.<br />
He doesn't like to watch TV. He would rather read a book or play with his cars.<br />
He does, however, like to watch Stephen play Zelda. He will bring Stephen the Wii controller and say, "see, watch" and sit and watch for a good 15-20 minutes.<br />
He loves balloons! He gets super excited when we see them and exclaims, "boons, boons!"<br />
He doesn't quite understand about jumping, he just squats and and then pops back up when you ask him to jump.<br />
He tells me he "oves" me.<br />
When he sees something he wants, he drops everything he has to focus on the new thing. <br />
He still loves to talk on the phone. Anything can be a phone to him, seat belt straps, cars, and remote controls, to name a few.<br />
I am so grateful for my little Will!<br />

He repeats everything I say so I've learned to be careful. Things like "oh crap" are super cute coming from a 18 month-old but not something he should be saying.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Lately Will has decided he doesn't want to get out bed. We'll go get him in the morning and ask if he's ready to get out and he replies, "no," and rolls around. So we leave him in there until he's ready to get out.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Probably my most favorite ridiculousness is Will saying, "I so silly!" It makes me so happy, I can't help but smile. Also, when Will yelled "POOP" at the top of his lungs, in the doctor's office, that was pretty funny too :).</div>Stephen and Sianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01053154898313016810noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1459625211622368697.post-28950255701665817492012-03-17T14:31:00.021-06:002012-03-18T15:11:23.286-06:00Happy St. Patrick's Day!<div style="text-align: center;">St. Patrick's Day was never a big deal at my house growing up.

I didn't know it at the time but March 9, 2008 was the day I met my eternal companion.<br />
I had been at BYU-Hawaii for 2 months and I was having the time of my life. I had never been happier or felt more confident. I was loving school, my job, living so close to my mom's extended family, and best of all living so close to the beach. I was taking a boy break and not taking life too seriously.<br />
It was a Sunday. I gave a talk in <a href="http://www.lds.org/?lang=eng" target="_blank">church</a> and didn't do a particularly good job. After church a handsome guy came up to me and said, " Hey, I enjoyed your talk." I smiled and replied, " Thanks." And he moved away. I needed to make an appointment with our bishop so I signed up for a time and left. I later had my appointment. When I was done, I was going to go out a certain door but I got an impression that I needed to go out another door and when I turned the corner, guess who was sitting in the hallway? That handsome guy who had complemented me earlier. I smiled and walked over to him. We started talking and talking, and talking. We talked all evening long and made plans to see each other the next day. The next day we made plans to see each other the next day, and then the next day, and so on. A month later we were engaged and three months after that, we were married. And it turns out, Stephen signed up to meet with the bishop after me so he could see me again and if I had gone the other way we wouldn't have seen each other and things would have gone differently. <br />
I know what you're thinking, that's pretty speedy, but when you know, you know and we didn't want to delay spending forever with each other.<br />
<br />
Fast forward 4 years...<br />
We have lived in San Diego, CA and Provo, UT.<br />
We are not much closer to graduating from school than we were then. <br />
We have been through more injuries and illnesses than most couples deal with in their first 10 years of marriage.<br />
We have an amazing little boy.<br />
We love each other more than the day we got married.<br />
We definitely know each other much better than the day we met.<br />
We are still as silly as we were 4 years ago.<br />
We still love to be together as much as possible.<br />
We couldn't be happier. Well, I can not speak for Stephen but I couldn't be happier.<br />
I am convinced I made the right decision in marrying Stephen and I have not regretted it once.<br />
<br />
Our first picture together, I went to see Stephen in the play he was in. He was playing a doctor in <i>All My Sons. </i>Yes, he's wearing makeup and he looks a lot older than he is.<br />

I would roll my eyes and laugh at her but it would always head me in a happier direction. The last little while has been a study in counting my blessings and remembering what the Lord hath done.</div><div style="text-align: center;">If you'll remember from a previous <a href="http://stephenandsianmccuen.blogspot.com/2012/02/ticking-time-bomb.html" target="_blank">post</a> that Stephen and I have been trying for over a year to get pregnant, two miscarriages, dealing with irregular periods, and not ovulating regularly. I have also recently found out I have <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endometriosis" target="_blank">Endometriosis</a> which can eventually cause infertility. My amazing doctor decided that this past month we needed to step up our game and put me on a medicine to help me ovulate.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Fast forward a month to now, this morning I found out, even with the medicine, I didn't ovulate this month. I know it's not too big of a deal but it's still devastating. </div><div style="text-align: center;">While this has been going on we have also had some sad news in our lives that have really taught me to count my blessings. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Yesterday morning I received an email letting me know that Will's pediatrician had passed away. I was devastated. We have gotten to know Dr. Gregory Nielson well over the last 17 months. Will has been going to see him since he was 2 days old. Will was also hospitalized at 2 weeks old due to an E-coli infection on the back of his head. Dr. Nielson came every day to see how Will was doing and spent many hours reassuring this first time mom that her tiny son would be OK. He was an amazing doctor who took the time to listen to my concerns, make thorough assessments, and noticing any little changes. He was caring, understanding, and competent. To make things worse, he left a wife and very young children. The pain and sorrow his poor wife and children must be going through, I couldn't even imagine loosing Stephen right now. I can only pray for Dr. Nielson's family. </div><div style="text-align: center;">A friend of mine also recently lost her 15 month-old nephew. Again, I can not even imagine the pain of the little boy's parents and family. My heart aches for them. </div><div style="text-align: center;">This week I have shed so many tears for other families and through it all, it reminds me that I really do have so much to be grateful for. My family is healthy, sure we have our problems but when all is said and done, we are sealed together forever as a family and we can get through anything.</div>Stephen and Sianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01053154898313016810noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1459625211622368697.post-11946076539559731832012-03-06T14:14:00.001-07:002012-03-06T14:20:20.617-07:00The Magic of Music Class<div style="text-align: center;">We have an amazing mom in our ward that holds a music and movement class every Tuesday morning.

Every morning Will brings me his snow boots and sticks out his leg for me to put on him with whatever he's wearing, usually it's still jammies. He has a hard time walking in his boots and he stands super cute, such a goofer!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF3zJSW8Be2zCo5T-CdRRy4SRZJgJmh5wGMyMlZm5xYwHSJT4q-knUfIC2mz8e3-sc_D_eH5ohmfl4VugMIbOI4Tor65eq7p5fopUBtySXsj-3l3sLrUNeo-gGWhDB6KZtjEV42lJLFn0/s1600/IMG_1784.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF3zJSW8Be2zCo5T-CdRRy4SRZJgJmh5wGMyMlZm5xYwHSJT4q-knUfIC2mz8e3-sc_D_eH5ohmfl4VugMIbOI4Tor65eq7p5fopUBtySXsj-3l3sLrUNeo-gGWhDB6KZtjEV42lJLFn0/s320/IMG_1784.JPG" width="213" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">He also has figured out that he can reach his blanket from outside his crib. When he's tired he goes and gets his blanket and nose dives on the floor and sucks his thumb. The first time he nose dove on our industrial, no padding carpet he cried because he was expecting the same result as his crib mattress, soft bounciness but, alas, it was hard a rock. He has since softened his nose diving to gentle bonking. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWUcQ3YN0yQjFZF0IzU5M5nqf1TH5jC-7Il_S9jVDnnc_OEvlcZM_I8-ClcjvcOAMniqXyHk8QCUfFiGp7WSNbQpK6c46OLh3rFsrCrR4LrpuZ7oca0h8HYYK40QKCFKehDkLkwpRjiQU/s1600/IMG_1791.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWUcQ3YN0yQjFZF0IzU5M5nqf1TH5jC-7Il_S9jVDnnc_OEvlcZM_I8-ClcjvcOAMniqXyHk8QCUfFiGp7WSNbQpK6c46OLh3rFsrCrR4LrpuZ7oca0h8HYYK40QKCFKehDkLkwpRjiQU/s320/IMG_1791.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">He is also enjoying playing with trucks and making their guttural truck sounds, no "brooom, brooom" at our house. Something new he has discovered is moving things from one container to another, he can do that for 30 minutes at least. He also loves to help me cook. I no longer cook dinner alone, I always have my little helper. He will also help me clean up. </div><div style="text-align: center;">He has recently started saying diaper when he needs a change, I'm glad that he knows he doesn't feel comfortable when he's wet and he can tell me about it. </div><div style="text-align: center;">He loves oatmeal, salmon, turkey meatloaf, and peas. He only eats things with flavor, he loves all things covered in hot salsa.</div><div style="text-align: center;">He loves to figure out how things work, how they move, how they fit into each other. He's got the mind of an engineer.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I love him so much!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVJkSfvvMFSOHCFuCm2Y_t39zFRAqKbOOYHMINk17c1ODEFfwMx2jFJBNmsXT4VzQeN6Es9uBp1Rn0JaVkvZKjgSgvhWrLwTeVF9eVgSZUZ2SrzA-bWJOehp5SXDb-DNwOQx02qg1OTvk/s1600/IMG_1693.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVJkSfvvMFSOHCFuCm2Y_t39zFRAqKbOOYHMINk17c1ODEFfwMx2jFJBNmsXT4VzQeN6Es9uBp1Rn0JaVkvZKjgSgvhWrLwTeVF9eVgSZUZ2SrzA-bWJOehp5SXDb-DNwOQx02qg1OTvk/s320/IMG_1693.JPG" width="213" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> He loves to play in our drawers.
