Roper's Blog: You'll Never Believe That...

You'll Never Believe That...

we are having a GIRL!!!! AAAAHHHHHHH!! I am soooooo excited and can barely believe it myself. I was bouncing off the walls of my OB's office when he told me it was a girl. I am probably up there with his "top 5 crazy moms-to-be." I couldn't contain myself or my excitement.

Since hearing the fantastically exciting news I have been floating on Cloud 9. It feels too good to be true--A GIRL! Matt is thrilled as well. He could not believe it either. We have gotten so used to boys that we couldn't even imagine anything else.

I have already been shopping (I can't help myself!) and have big plans for pink, princess, ballerina, makeup and dress-ups to fill my days ahead! Yeah, I can't wait :)!

Our Story

Welcome to our blog, it is fun to have you here to read about our little life here in AZ. Matt and I have been married for 13 happy years. We moved to sunny, AZ after both graduating from Southern Utah University (which is where we met.) We moved here so Matt could attend dental school. During school, we were blessed with two, darling little boys and our third little guy came shortly after Matt graduated. Wade is 11, Seth is 9 and Trent is 6. They are BUSY little boys who keep us on our toes, but we love it! We are still over the moon for our fourth child, A GIRL, Rylee who is 5! Our newest addition, Casen Judd, is 2 and is the sweetest thing on this Earth :)! Rylee will get to be our little princess forever. The boys will have lots of fun too! I was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor in August 2012. We have been fighting the fight of our lives since then and do not plan to give up anytime soon. Very thankful for our family, friends, neighborhood, but most of all our knowledge of the Gospel that carries us through each day. We know our family is forever!

Words Too Cute To Forget

12/15/2011

Wade: "When I grow up and get married, I'm not going to see my wife very much."

Me: "Why not?"

Wade: "Well if you play in the NFL you have to travel a lot so I won't see her."

Me: "What about during the off season?"

Wade: "Well, I guess I'll see her then."

12/10/2011

Trent: "Mommy, you have to be very soft with me because I have a baby in my belly."

8/15/2011

Seth: "Why are you and dad going to the Temple? Is one of your friends getting married?"

Me: "No, we are going because Heavenly Father has asked us to. We are going through the Temple for people who have died so they will have the opportunity to accept the Gospel."

Seth: "Like Michael Jackson?"

Me: "Yes, like Michael Jackson."

Seth: "The doctor gave Michael Jackson too much medicine so his heart stopped and he died. He is in Heaven. You can go to the Temple for him."

Me: "Yes, that sounds like a good idea."

3/20/2011

Seth: "Stop acting like a baby, Trent."

Trent: "I'm not a baby, you're a baby Sep!"

10/12/2010

Me: "Say: Love you Mommy."

Trent: "Love you Mommy."

Me: "Love you Daddy."

Trent: "Love you Daddy."

Me: "Love you Wade."

Trent: "Love you Wii."

Me: "Love you Seth."

Trent: "Love you Sep."

Me: "Love you Rylee."

Trent: "Love you Ry-ee."

10/6/2010

Seth: "Mom, are we going out to dinner tonight?"

Me: "No."

Wade: "Seth, why do you always ask if we are going out to dinner?"

Seth: "Because I like to go out to dinner, I like to get pop."

Wade: "Seth, you can't drink too much pop or you will get fat and have to go on Biggest Loser and exercise all day until you get in shape again."

8/30/2010

Wade [to Rylee]: "Hi, Rylee sweet baby."

Wade [to me] : "Mom, we couldn't have asked for a better girl...or a prettier one!"

8/19/2010

Me: "Look Seth, they are starting to build the Temple right over there."

Seth: "Are they building it for you and dad to go in?"

Me: "Yes, they are."

Seth: "Are you going to get married in there?"

Me: "No, we already got married in the Temple by Ampa's house."

Seth: "Can we go inside?"

Me: "Yes, before they dedicate the Temple, you can come inside and look around with mom and dad. When you are 12 you can go inside and do baptisms for the dead too."

Seth: "Do we have to wear fancy clothes?"

Me: "Fancy clothes?"

Seth: "Yeah, like marrying clothes?"

Me: "No, church clothes are fine."

7/16/2010

Seth: "Mom where is Ju?"

Me: "She is staying at Ampa's and visiting Marshall."

Seth: "So, she is staying with Ampa and can see Marsha whenever she wants?"

Wade: "His name is Marshall, if his name were Marsha he would be a girl."

later on that day:

Seth: [while skipping down the hall] "Ju is staying with Ampy and seeing Marsha whenever she wants!"

Me: (Sigh) :) "Sethie, his name is Marshall."

5/12/2010

[Matt turned the TV to "American Idol"]

Wade: "Dad!, I don't want to watch this show. I do not like it. I do not like Stake Conference.

Matt: Stake Conference?

Wade: I mean General Conference, I do not like to watch it.

Matt: Wade, this is "American Idol" not General Conference

Wade: Well, I don't like that show. It's so boring.

12/29/2009
Wade: "Mom, Seth and I decided we don't want to travel anymore. We just want people to come and see us here."
Me: "How come?"
Wade: "Because when we drive for a long time it makes me hot and sweaty and it hurts my boose to sit there."

11/28/2009
Wade: "Can I have the green Christmas shoe?"

7/21/2009
Me: "Now I hope you guys (Wade and Seth) act a lot better in the next store than you did in the store we were just in."

7/1/2009
Wade: "Mom, are you going to find out, today, if your baby is a girl or a boy?"

While watching the lightening outside...
Wade to Uncle John: "Be careful not to go outside because if the lightening hits you, your heart will stop and your friends will bury your skin."
