Robby's 7th Birthday

Robby celebrated his 7th birthday in November. He got to have his Lape cousins so he was supper excited about that!! He got some spy gear (what every seven year old needs), an old Daniel Boone show (loves it), and a gift certificate to a toy store which he end up getting a rubber band sniper rifle!! He wanted chocolate cake of course it is his absolute favorite.

We are so blessed to have Robby in this family. He loves to laugh and loves to try and make you laugh! He has always been a little comic relief in our family. He is a very sweet boy that can hardly wait until he is old enough to go hunting! He is kind and would like to wrestle any one if he had the opportunity.

Aeryka's 9th Birthday

Aeryka had her 9th birthday in January(still catching up). She was lucky enough to get a surprise visit from Grammy and her cousin Rylee. She got some clothes and some jewlery and she got tickets to go see the University of Utah (go Utes) gymnastics!! Ron and I were going to take her but Jessy got sick so she went with Ron and her cousin Abby!! She loved it and of course she had a blast!!

I am so lucky to have this wonderful girl in our family!! She always wants to help and is willing to help if I ask!! She is a great sister and a wonderful daughter! She is so kind and loving she is going to make a great mom one day!! She still loves to carry her 5 year old sister like a baby!!

Baseball 2011

This was a busy year for baseball. All the kids were in either softball, baseball, or t-ball. The kids all loved it and it was fun for me because I got to be the assistant coach on Aeryka's team and Ron and I and Aunt Alice were the coaches for Nick's team. We had a lot of rain outs in May so June was very busy with all the make up games plus the regular games. We are looking forward to next season!

Four wheeling adventure

We went four wheeling on Monday for Nicholas' birthday. Alice, Sarah (sister), Sarah (niece), and I went on a long ride and we found what we thought was a dead snake because it didn't move when we stopped right by it to take a couple of pictures. So after the pictures were taken My niece and I tossed a rock at it to see if it would move. It moved and started rattling so loud we heard it over the three four wheelers. We then decided it was time to leave and let him be by himself again.

Working in the Yard

The kids don't love it, but the yard work needs to be done. And, we had a lot of huge bushes, now they're in control. Nicky and Robby help to mow the lawn, which really doesn't upset Mom and Dad at all!
