My baby is 6 years old!!!

Time flies so fast! I still remember the day that I had her and will never let her live down the fact that she almost killed me (literally) lol but she has been such a blessing in our lives and has such a strong personality. She is so amazingly strong. She has been through a lot in her short life but has come out on top! Happy birthday baby girl!!!

So we decided to do two different birthdays. We did the friend one from 11-2 and they had fun playing games, eating pizza, and eating cake. I think I would have gone crazy with 8 six year olds running around my house so we decided to do it at a little fast food restaurant here in Grace. They have a little banquet room where we can lock the kids in and let them run to their content. The birthday party didn't really have a theme. I guess we kind of did it more along the lines of princess. I went onto Bettycrocker.com and found an idea for a Barbie cake so this is how the cake turned out. Now remember that I am a professional cake decorator (with a huge hint of sarcasm) so of course it turned out great! Right? :) Actually it turned out pretty crappy and crooked but she didn't know the difference.

Duck, duck, goose

Expelling some energy...geez I wish I could bottle up some of that so I could use it when I don't have the energy to do something!

We ended up with one extra. One of the girls' mom asked if they could bring their son by for just a short time. He was so much fun that we invited him to stay for the whole party! He jumped right in to play the princess games. The crown he is wearing is a king crown, not a tiara. He even knew the answer to some of the trivia questions I threw out there to them. It was cute!

After her friend birthday, we had a family birthday. We enjoyed visiting with family and Rohbi loved the presents she got from her aunts and cousins. She also recieved a card from Aunt Shelly with a nice surprise in it! Thanks guys!

The boa and the sleeping bag came all the way from Arizona from her Grammy and Poppy Bates. They are so good to remember her birthday and she was so excited to see what they sent her this time. My mother-in-law is so good at sewing! She sends Rohbi a pillow case for every holiday. Thank you Sharon!

Grandma LaRee and Grandpa Kirt bought her a porcelain doll. It is a fairy and Rohbi was so excited!

Do you see anything that doesn't belong? Xoe cannot resist the urge to explore anything that is out of the ordinary! She's obsessed with boxes and enjoyed her share of boxes on Rohbi's birthday!

Of course we can't forget Grandma and Grandpa Gould! They couldn't make it for Rohbi's birthday because Bruce's mom had a massive heart attack and passed away, so they made a rush trip to Wyoming to take care of things there. Our thoughts are with them. We love you guys!

Thanks everyone for the gifts and cards! Rohbi loved her gifts and had a great birthday!

I hit my goal!!!

I've been attending Weight Watchers since October. I finally hit my 10% last week. Yesterday I hit my goal and then a few lbs! Now I have to do my 6 week maintenance before I can have my lifetime! Sorry, boring news but I was pretty excited!

CRAP!!!!

So I was reading my friend Laura's blog and she was talking about how they woke up to snow on the ground and I was laughing because I just knew we wouldn't be getting anymore snow...guess the joke is on me. We woke up this morning to stinkin' 1 1/2" of snow!!! Crappy! I'm so ready for spring and just when it warms up, it gets cold again. Oh well. Soon it will be warm again and we will finally be able to go outside and enjoy the sunshine!!!

DEAD MICE?!

There is something dead under our house!!! I walked in the bedroom a few days ago and was hit with this rancid stench! We cleaned out from under our bed and there was nothing there. We finally pinpointed where it was coming from and it was our vent! We live in a house that is two single wide trailers and an add on so all the stuff like duct work and pluming is under the house. So anyway, Eric climbed under the house and braved the nastiness under there. He said that he could smell where it was coming from and it smelled like it was up in the insulation. He pulled that down and found a mouse but it was decayed too much to be what we were smelling. Our room stinks and right now as I type, I can smell the stench wafting into the office here! Ugh...I want to go puke now...

Happy Anniversary!!

So my sister-in-law emailed me and said that I haven't updated my blog in a while so I needed to kick it in the butt!! I realized that I haven't but we were leaving for the weekend to celebrate our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY so I would get to it when we came back.

We went to Logan and stayed at the Anniversary Inn in the Jesse James Hideout! For those of you who don't know, that room seems to be the most popular one there so I was so excited when we were able to reserve it! Anyway, we were pretty boring but it was a nice weekend to just sit and be lazy and relax. We got Chinese take-out and came back to the room and gorged ourselves until we were both so sick! Then we just hung out for the rest of the night. The next day we got up and ate the complimentary breakfast they left at our door. It was yummy! Then we went to the movie "Taken". That is such a good movie! It keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole movie! Then we went to Iggy's and ate a burger (so good!). Then Share Parents were looking for volunteers who were willing to help sell concessions at the USU basketball game. It happened to fall on the weekend we were celebrating our anniversary so we volunteered to help. It was a lot of fun and it ended up being the last game of the season and the arena was PACKED! Plus USU won!!! It was a great weekend.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BABE!!!

Here are some pictures of our room. Don't mind my dorky hubby. He kinda hammed it up for the pictures. Also the pictures were taken on my phone so they aren't very good. My camera batteries were dead and we were too lazy to run to the store to get some more.

This is a cool border made out of old playing cards.

That table was so tall!!! The barrel had a place at the top that held ice and they put some IBC Root Beer in there for us.

I told him to stand in front of the bed to show how tall it was. It had steps to get up to it. Eric at the last minute got distracted by something on the TV and turned his head. Typical man...

Now he is just hamming it up!

I don't know what he is doing in this picture. That pool table had a few mysterious white stains on it...what? I was just saying there was probably some beer or something spilled on it! Get your minds out of the gutter!!!
