"They Say It's Your Birthday..."

This guy....I love him.

He still makes me laugh after all these years.

Happy Birthday DPR.

It's a miracle....

Here's a picture of Rob tying quilts at girl's camp....

...and here is another picture.

It's a Miracle

What we won't do....

The Youth in our ward had a "Where's Waldo" activity in Walmart...

Ya...we pretty much had more fun than the kids...

 Rob was hanging out in the tools at the back of the store, and someone 

called security on him...true story.

I'm thinking about keeping the red.

Heart Attack

The Achievement Day Girls in our ward have been busy!  They like him and don't even know he's the dread pirate!  I guess it's because he's one of the good guys.  Happy Valentines Day "Bishop-DPR"!

 

The Relatives Came

So Everyone came...

at the same time...

It was crowded.  

AND AWESOME.

I made this coat for Kit.  She modeled it for me...right before we put it in a DI bag. 
She is friggin' hilarious.

Forever Plaid

This is what happens when Rob dresses himself.

Hey Hey Vacay!

The DPR and I were invited by Claire and Jeff to do a little Vacationing with them to...(ah-hem) Florida!  I mean...who's gonna turn that down?  Claire has really been doing her homework, and planned a great trip starting with, of course, Disney World.  "A very good place to start..." (sing with me people..) 

We had a great time even though it was VERY crowded...but you pretty much have to expect that, right? Great Day....how can it be topped? Well, by going to HARRY POTTER World the next day!! 

 Be still my heart!  OH-MY-GOODNESS!  K...if you were to ask which one was better...I would shout out before you even ask...HARRY POTTER WORLD HANDS DOWN!  It was truly Awesome.

 The food was fantastic, and let's say "more" reasonably priced than say, the freaking uber expensive yucky food we had at Disney..and the whole place just seemed cleaner and more exciting. Can you tell I really had a good time there?  Eleven "Butter-beers" later...I still can't get enough.  Would go again tomorrow if someone asked....please ask....anybody?....anybody?

After we'd had our fill of amusement park fun, we headed up the Florida coast line toward Amelia Island.  We stopped along the way to see some really cool places, took some pics of the cuties, and swam in the ocean.

Our final stop was at the Snyder Resort.  Talk about amusement park....this is TRULY the happiest place on earth!

This is the life....  Love my family!

SPECIAL DAY

 

The last few weeks have been a whirlwind..as in "we're not in Kansas anymore, toto"  kind of whirlwind.  Rob was called to be the Bishop of our ward.  The word "Humbling" does not begin to cover it.  "Overwhelming" needs to be added and a few other words like; "joyful, shocked, and Scared to death".  I am beyond thankful for this man-o-mine.  

A Zion People

A little visit from the Garcia Fam...and trip to Zions National Park.  This place is magical.

And the kiddos?  They are magically delicious!

 

Merry Christmas!

This is what happens when Granma-n-Granpa babysit right before Christmas...

Gingerbread house competition...Levi won!  I mean...right?

The little shoes from Amsterdam, and the star from Versaille...

We have had quite a year...so many blessings.

I Am Thankful

Ya...but do we have enough pie...?
