Catching up

We have another addition to our family... We welcomed Miss Audrey Christine May 18th 2012..Yeah!

We went on a family camp trip to Sedona.  It was fabulous but the nights were freezing cold, not prepared enough for that!  A few of us fell in the river... unexpectedly.  LOL

Cliff and I went to see Van Halen, it was soooo much fun!

We love spending time with all our beautiful grandchildren and are so lucky to get to see them all the time!  

   

Welcome baby Madison Riley!!!!

So our daughter Brittany and boyfriend Robert welcomed a daughter, Madison Riley Perez on January 24th, much to our delight and into my arms!  We are beyond blessed to have such a healthy sweet spirit in our home.  I am in full on grandma mode, so here are her very first pro shots taken.  yeeeee!

Merry Christmas 2011

So, I totally forgot this year, better late than never.  Here is our family picture.  I love how it just keeps getting bigger and bigger!  So much so, two grand daughters will arrive in 2012!

Birthday boys

We did a combined birthday for the boys.  Aiden is now 4 and Adam is now 3.  It was a Spongebob Fest!
It was a fun time, they were so funny.  In the end mom got them Scooters, they were in heaven.  I sucked at taking pics this time, so this is what ya get!

 

Merry Christmas, The Roberts Family Photo 2010

I can't believe another year over.  Doesn't seem real.  Well, all our kids and grandkids are healthy and doing good.  It's been a fun year.  Looking forward to the next.  I am so going to boast right now, our family is gorgeous!  I love that we can always take such great pictures, with hardly any work, okay the last two years have been work with the addition of these find your grandsons... but even then, this year was spectacular!  Phew.  So, here's to next year!  All the bells and whistles.  May you all enjoy Christmas and stay safe!

Amanda, Aiden and Adam

Had some pictures taken of the grandsons and momma!
So hillarious, laughing and playing until we got into the room,
then irritation and annoyances and not wanting to sit or smile or blah, blah.
Love boys!

Amanda, Aiden and Adam.
Yep, where they always are, on mom!

Our Aiden man, so grown up!

Adam, so cute!

One happy family. They are so gorgeous!

Hoover Dam

Went to the Hoover Dam, it was pretty cool. It truly is one of the worlds wonders. We had our friends daughter, Taylor with us. We also visited Cliff's mom.

The upper part of the Colorado River, above the dam. The water is really low.

Cliff and I on the state line. He's in Nevada, I'm in Arizona.

Here we are, it was a fun picture to take.

The grandsons

We have had some great and fun visits with Aiden and Adam. Rough and rowdy boys.

Our Amanda is looking fabulous! and being quite the spectacular mom.

I love this picture of Amanda and Adam...taking a quiet break

Our little Adam, so cute and devious all at the same time!

Aiden, totally thrilled with Grandpa blowing balloons.

Newest Member of the family

Erica has a new edition. Its a teeny tiny little guy, so of course his name is Tank.

Here he is with Molly...he could be a snack for her.

Doing OK

Well, into the hospital I went. This time on purpose..LOL. I had that fabulous "woman" thingy taken care of. I was really excited because this will take care of so many problems! So, here i am looking all fabulous! Thanks for all the help i received. Love to you all!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!
I do think this is the one holiday that no matter how
old you are, everyone gets excited. We had a great morning
opening all the fun gifts we had. It was even more special because
my mom and brother are here.

Keith, mom, Jimmy, Erica, me and Cliff

Here are a few picks from Christmas Eve.
All our family was together.
We had a fun dinner and even funner time opening gifts.
Aiden and Adam are a hoot.
Aiden kept opening his clothes, oohing over them,
then taking them to Brittany. It was so funny.
Of course, as good grandparents, we totally
sugared the boys off and sent them packing,
Amanda was less than enthused.
It was a fantastic evening.

Grandpa with Aiden, he can always get him to laugh.

Adam playing catch with his great grandma.
the bow usually didn't make it, but he has good aim.

The group all together. Such a great time.

Merry Christmas 2009
Hope you have a fabulous Christmas.
I am so lucky to be able to have all my kids
and grandkids with us this year!
I was so excited that we were able to get two out of
the twelve we took with the rugrats not sticking their
tongues out or crying. It is always an experience!

Decorating the Tree 2009

Tis the season! We decorated our tree, a gathering of sorts, and had a good time as always.
Its always so fun because you remember the meanings behind them, who gave them, how old you were, etc..etc. Its fun to think that our girls are "prepared" for their own trees but sad for me as so many will leave my tree... i have a sad face..LOL
Anyways, its a little update on our going ons.

Our first pose of the year with our tree, mid decorating.
Dad had control of the camera this year, I must be wearing off.

Jimmy and Erica(Miss Scrunchy Face) hanging the ornaments.

Cliff carrying on his tradition of self portraits!

Miss Erica arguing her point that even though she dropped the candy cane she did not kill it. Dad wasn't convinced.

Jimmy, Erica, me and Cliff, the 2009 tree decorating crew!
Merry Christmas!

New Moon

Okay, so i got to experience the whole Twilight tweaker, freaker experience...LOL. I had a fun time. I will do this all over again when Eclipse hits theatres. The movie was great, fun....better than I expected, and even if it had sucked, it would of been worth it...so much fun hanging with the girls!

It's Italian, means My Singer..because Bella's blood sings to Edward

And so..I tried to be creative...LOL

Most of the "ladies" that went are here...waiting in line to get in.

Happy Halloween/Our 10th Anniversary

Happy Halloween!
We had a great time at the ward party. We brought our very good friends, the Sadlers with us.
Respectfully dressed as: jon "chef duff", april the sassy witch, taylor the fairy, jess the pirate, jon jr the white ninja and lucian the black/red ninja.
The hubby and I were the hippie and the man in black...a few called him jonny cash!

This was our 10th anniversary, instead of dressing up and hitting the halloween parties, we opted for a quite little retreat, playing in the pool instead. It did get a bit loud while watching the OREGON DUCKS KILL USC. oh, that was a bit loud...anyway, it was fun!

Gangs all here

Okay, so no fun pictures to go along....wouldn't want to see them anyway...It has been a dirty, sweaty stinking couple of weeks. Our family made preparations for my mom and brother to move here. a little over a week ago, I flew to oregon, packed up the truck and left with my brother...AZ or bust! My mom went with my best friend to Eugene where she flew from to Mesa, AZ. My brother Keith and I beat my mom here! So all of last week I painted and moved stuff and threw stuff away. I helped my mom but she is a pack rat and having difficulty throwing things away..LOL. I am done, getting back to normal..got my halloween decorations up..yeah!

Trip to Oregon, Moms and sams

In Oregon

Cliff and I had the opportunity to drive his grandmothers things from Arizona to Eugene Oregon. It was a good trip. We visited with my mother and brother in Brookings. We played on the beach and in the ocean. So fun! Back in Eugene, we had a big gathering with our friends. I love it that it's not over 100 here!

My mother, Ravonne, brother, Keith, me, cliff, Sam and Harley
