Regan's Tooth

2010-03-11T13:59:00.000-08:00

Couldn't believe it when Regan tooth was loose.

It seemed so early! But it didn't take long........

......and it was out! She was very nervous to have

me pull it. But once I did it she was shocked when

it was not even a big deal. So dramatic! ;)

Ryan's Tootsie Roll Adventure

2010-03-11T13:28:00.000-08:00

Ryan received
a piece of candy
in primary, from
a member of the
bishopric. It was
a vanilla tootsie roll.
YUMMY!! Well
he decided it was
his favorite kind of tootsie roll, but that it was not
fair that the regular flavored tootsie rolls came in
a bigger size and not the Vanilla. So, when we got
home from church, he decided to write a letter
to Tootsie Roll Headquarters. In his letter he told
them that he like the vanilla tootsie rolls the best,
that they are his favorite flavor. He then told them
that he really wished they would make the vanilla
flavor tootsie roll in a big bar, like the chocolate one.
We mailed the letter, and a few weeks later he received
a letter back from Tootsie Roll. He was soooooooooo
excited!! We all could not believe he got a response.
The letter (below) said they were pleased to hear from
him. They also told him they would have the vanilla
tootsie roll flavor available in a larger size in the near
future!!! Can you believe that?! They also sent a coupon
for tootsie roll products with the letter. We were all very
excited! Of course, his grandma and mom were on the
verge of tears while he read the letter to us.....I know
we are a bunch of saps :)!! Just thought we'd share
this fun experience!

A Winter Scenic Drive!

2010-03-11T12:10:00.000-08:00

One day we decided to go for a drive because we
had recently had lots of rain that caused beautiful
waterfalls on the mountain sides not too far from
our home. We started our journey in the beautiful
desert where we live...............followed the highway......

.......to the beautiful waterfalls along the highway.
What a fun thing to see. The kids were amazed at
the raging waterfalls.

This is where they began their hike to the biggest
waterfall.

They arrived at the bottom of the falls......

.....but of course the adventure was not

over yet..........

.....they had to see how high they could get, and

how close they could get to the raging water.

It was very beautiful.

Regan lovin' the adventure!

Ryan exploring!

Our journey eventually got us to the beautiful

fresh snow up the highway. Always a pretty site.

Even though we weren't dressed or equiped for

snow, the kids just had to get out and play in it.

No matter how cold they got they always had

big smiles on their faces :)

......"cheese" :)

Our adventure was almost over.............

..................and ended with a beautiful Arizona

Sunset!!!! Gotta love it!

Christmas 2009

2010-03-11T10:34:00.000-08:00

We decided to go to the Mesa Temple lights on
Christmas Eve! It was so beautiful.....always
an amazing site!!

The kids really enjoyed all the lights!

That blurry blob is Wyatt.......

look at those happy faces..................

Our christmas tree, it was very fat this year :)

Christmas morning......Santa gifts!

So much fun!!!

Disneyland Nov. 2009

2010-02-18T09:43:00.000-08:00

We went to Disneyland on Thanksgiving day, 2009.

It was so fun!!! Here are a few pics from our day!

This is when we arrived....the sun was very bright

apparently :) The first ride we went on was "Pirates

of the Carabian".....The kids LOVED it sooooo

much!...well, Wyatt was not too sure......

We were all very excited to be there while the

Haunted Mansion was decoarted with "The

Nightmare Before Christmas" stuff.

Getting in line for the Haunted Mansion......They

like the ride, but were a litte scared.

This is in the "Tarzan's Tree House". They had

a ton of fun climbing around with their cousins!

We ran into Aladin and Jasmin........we just HAD

to get a picture :)! As we walked away, after the

picture, Ryan turned to me and said, "She was cute!!"

....refering to Jasmin, of course :) so funny!!

Here we were with all the cousins, Aunts, Uncles,

and Grandma and Grandpa Tomsik.....waiting for

Tiki Room to open. The fountain drops water every

so often, so they are all waiting to touch the water.

That was a fun show! Regan and Ryan argued the

whole time whether the birds were real or not :)

........and the water finally fell...YEA!!

On the Jungle cruise!

In line for "Big Thunder Mountain"......so fun!

They LOVED this ride!!

Santa's Reindeer!

PLUTO!!!!

Dumbo!! Gotta love it!

Ryan was excited to ride by himself!

Gotta love the Tea Cups!!

Regan lovin' the Tea Cups.....priceless :)

Wyatt got lots of Grandma time!! :)

Waiting to ride "Small World" with Grandpa

and Megan!

"Small World" was a little more Wyatt's speed...

.....needless to say.....he really liked this ride.

Hi Regan!!!

Oh.....Hi there little guy :)

Cool lights on "Small World"

Kids in front of the frosted castle!.....

....can you tell they are having fun?!

Castle all lit up.........so pretty!

Waiting for "Star Tours" to begin!

.......still waiting..........They LOVED it!!!!

In line for "SPACE MOUNTAIN"!!!!!!

Oh my goodness......this was so fun!!

When we got off this ride, all the kids

were jumping up and down, shouting,

and saying how AWESOME the ride was!

So "Space Mountain" was named......

THE BEST RIDE EVER!!!!! Their reaction

to this ride made my whle day!!!! :)

This is the end of our very long day! What a day!!

Rides, Family, Fantasmic show, rides, fireworks,

rides, family, and more rides........We all had

soooo much fun! Even Wyatt.....he was soooo

good all day! It was so fun to see the

kids have SOOOOOO much FUN!! Definately

a day we will NEVER forget!!

Had to save this one for last......:) Ryan

could not wait to ride "Splash Mountain"!

We finally got to ride it that night....it was

so fun, and Ryan loved it, but the drop

kinda scared him....as you can see in the

picture :)...his hands slipped off the handles

and he thought he was going to fly out.....

poor guy.....but he said he had a blast!!

So glad we went!! It was such a fun time!!

The Official U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree!

2009-11-13T09:42:00.000-08:00

When Rhett found out the Christmas tree for
our country's Capitol was going to be from here
in Arizona, he was so excited. Being a truck
driver himself, gave him more interest and he
knows the guy driving the truck that is delivering
the Capitol Tree. We were all excited to know
it would be making a stop here in Apache Junction
for public viewing and festivities!

So Rhett took Ryan and Regan to see the trucks
and trees. It was quite the event!

The tree is an 85 ft. Blue Spruce from Alpine,

Arizona. There are misters and a cooler on the

trailer to keep the temp. right for the tree.

There is also a water bladder on the trunk and

the tree drinks up to 65 gal. per day.

They even got to write their names on the sign

hanging on the trailer.

This truck carried the ten thousand ornaments,

made by Arizona school children, for decorating

the tree.

There was a youth choir singing Christmas songs,

police cars and officers, treats ang goodies, and

more.......but most of all there was SANTA!!!!!

The kids were amazed by the size of the tree and the trailer! It was a once in a lifetime opportunity!

Apple Eater!

2009-11-13T09:32:00.000-08:00

I had the fridge door open and Wyatt had to be
curious and check it out. He found this apple on
the shelf and snagged it. I didn't know what he
was going to do with it...I thought he was going to
throw it like a ball, since he loves to throw balls
around the house. But to my surprise he stuck it
in his mouth and started chompin' down on it! He
really enjoyed it and ate quite a good amount for
such a little guy! :) Yummy!

DISNEYLAND news!!!!!!

2009-11-10T15:12:00.001-08:00

We got our tickets, for Disneyland, in the mail

exciting news!! Here's a picture to show a small

amount of their excitement and anticipation!!!

HALLOWEEN 2009!!

2009-11-10T10:37:00.000-08:00

TRUNK OR TREAT 10/24/09

Barbie/Regan as Thumbelina

Ryan as Venom. No masks allowed at church

so I had to paint his face to look like a Venom

mask! He loved it, and nobody recognized him

at church.

Wyatt as Buzz Lightyear

The whole crew!!! Ready to go!!

Our front porch. SPOOKY!!

Our Jack-O-Lantern

Halloween Night 10/31/09

The kids and I went to a Halloween party at

the Caza Home! It was very fun!!

Jack the Pumpkin King

Ryan wanted to be Jack sooooo bad, for soooo

long. His Grandma Carla mad him the suit and

I made the bat for his colar! He was so excited

to finally get to be this character!

"Trick or Treat"!!!!

They got live goldfish at the party! Oh YEA!!!!

Even Wyatt went trick or treating!

Where did the tires go?!?!

2009-11-10T09:52:00.000-08:00

So Sunday Sept. 27, 2009, we were just waking

up when a loud knock and doorbell sounded

through the house. A little surprised, and not

expecting anyone, we looked out the upstairs

window to find a cop car out front. I went down,

opened the door and the cop said, "Is that your

truck and trailer parked out on Cortez?". I said,

"Yes". He said, "Did it have tires on it the last

time you saw it?".....I said."Uh, yes." He said,

"Well it doesn't anymore"! I replied, "Lovely!!"

Wide eyed and shocked I got Rhett to go out

and meet the cop out by the truck. Of course

the tire shop is closed on Sunday, so we had to

wait to do anything. These pics are what we saw

as we drove out to the street......and everyone

in our nieghborhood that is in our ward saw

as they headed to church that afternoon. :)

We actually got a call a few days later, while we

were waiting for our tires to come in. It was

the police dept. asking why our truck and trailer

were parked out on the street, because they

had received a complaint about an abandoned

truck and trailer! Seriously!!!! You really think

our $40,000 truck and brand new trailer would

be abandoned on the main street outside of our

nieghorhood?!!!? Come on!! Anyway, that was

the drama! :)

Regan's 5th Birthday!!

2009-11-09T14:46:00.000-08:00

PARTY!! Pretty much an entire week of Birthday fun:

We had a party at Erin and Logan's home to

celebrate Regan's and Jocelyn's Birthdays!

Aunt Leanne gave her a "littlest pet shop" set!

Sean and Loriel gave her a Barbie movie!!!

Grandma Calra made her a new "Blankie"....

YEA!!!!!................

Grandma and Grandpa even got Ryan a gift....

Erin made an ice cream cake for the party...it

was delicious!!

Blowing out her #5 candle! Birthday cake time!!

The next day she got a package in the mail

from Grandma and Grandpa Tomsik! It was

this beautiful dress.....she was so EXCITED!

We also had a party at Grandma Carla's house

on her actual birthday. Grandma made a cake

just for Regan!

The birthday girl and Grandma!! Wearing one
of the outfits she gave her.

Waiting to open her gift from Mom and Dad!
oh the anticipation..........................................

.................some baby doll outfits and

diapers for her baby dolls!! So exciting!!

The next night Aunt Sarah and Uncle Tyler

brought their gift over........a Tea Set, Tinkerbell

even!!!!

So they all had a little Tea Party to top off the

night!!!!

She also got this "doll house with people"from

her Grandma Andrea.......Wyatt enjoys it as well!

Laundry Fairy!!

2009-11-09T14:37:00.001-08:00

One day I was searching for Wyatt all over the

house......well I found him doing this, lol!! He

loves to do the laundry.....he really will help me

put clothes in the washer and dryer :). But I

have learned to check the washer before I use

it to be sure there are no foriegn objects in it!

Regan loves her doggies!

2009-08-05T19:02:00.000-07:00

This picture was taken at our McCarl camp out, 6/2009

Singin' kids!!!

2009-08-05T17:30:00.000-07:00

Regan is my little singer! She has a beautiful
little voice!

The kids were in a singing mood and wanted to make
a video of it....so I had to share!!

Manti/Fish Lake trip July 2009

2009-08-05T13:39:00.000-07:00

We stopped at the bridge over Lake Powell Damn on our
way to Manti.

The kids were amazed at the size of the bridge and Damn.

Hi Wyatt!!!

We got to Manti safe and sound and the cousins had a blast
together.

Grandpa's fishing boat became a drum for the babies.....and
the others.

This is the kids in the car on the way to the Manti Cemetery
to visit Grandma and Grandpa Harris. (Regan was very grumpy
and ready for a nap). The Cemetery was beautiful and it
was fun to do a little geneology while we walked through out
the grounds. So much family history in such a small city!

And of course we had to go to the Malt Shop before we could
complete our outing. This is the playground outside the
Malt Shop.....yum!

The kids had a blast swinging and eating ice cream.

...even Wyatt enjoyed the nice green grass to play on! Despite
finding a wasps nest at my knees, under the picnic table,
we all enjoyed revisiting familiar places full of memories! Plus
the food was still delicious!

This is the view of the beautiful Manti Temple from the
entrance of the Campground we were camped at.

Gotta have the night view!!! Soooo pretty!

Around the campfire at Fish Lake.

Ryan and Regan had so much fun fishing with Grandpa Tomsik
and Aunt Colleen!

Mr. Wyatt was our good luck charm......no joke. We had
much success that morning....when Wyatt was on the boat.....
....not so much that afternoon when he was not on board.
Sorry guys!

Grandpa prepared the fishing poles.......

......We played with the bait.......

......And Regan caught the first fish....we put the littel guy back
so he could get bigger.

Then she caught another......too small again.

Then Grandpa caught one.....but THEN Ryan caught a BIGGER one!!!

Next Ryan caught his second.........

......Then Regan finally caught a keeper......and.....somewhere
in there Colleen caught one......I admit...it was the BIGGEST.

Here is the catch of the day!! Beautiful and delicious....for
those that enjoy eating fish. Grandma Tomsik cooked it up
that night. It turned out very well...as usual!

Here is Rhett with the dirtiest fast EVER. He went riding with
Jeremy and Franky.......beautiful ride, I am told. Rhett followed
the others...as you can tell by his clean face! :)

Lake Powell "look out" on our drive home. HUGE!!!!

There we are!

There they are!!

Ryan at Lake Powell

Regan at Lake Powell.
Our trip was sooooo fun.......but......WAY TOO SHORT!!

Fourth of July 2009

2009-07-08T11:35:00.001-07:00

The kids had lots of fun at our Ward breakfast and parade!

The ward set up some slip-n-slides......the kids were soaked!

First tooth lost!

2009-07-08T11:34:00.001-07:00

Eating Rabbit

2009-05-15T10:41:00.001-07:00

Rhett and his a Dad went to our friend's house to help them
get their rabbits ready for eatin'! Ryan went also, he had an
interesting experience. He got a little close and got blood on
him..........then he threw up! He took it well, and now he talks
about it all the time like it was nothing. This was the meat
after all the bloodiness was over. Just a few pics of the kids
enjoying the bunny rabbits!

Baby no more!!!!

2009-04-20T15:35:00.001-07:00

pulling up on everything!

What a cutie!!

Getting so big......look at that smile!!

Already lovin' the trucks!

Camping with family!!

2009-04-20T13:49:00.001-07:00

It snowed the first night we were there, but it was light
and melted once the sun was out.

The kids had fun in the little bit that was on the ground.

This was "the climbing tree".....named by the kids.

Gathering fire wood........the kids found an old dead tree that

they decided to break apart and bringto camp one piece at a

time. It was quite a hike for their little legs, but we weren't

going to stop them from hiking a little. :)

The trailer became a playground for the kids for some reason.

Doesn't he look thrilled :)

Sitting around the camp fire.

We woke up on our last day to even more snow.....and it

was still snowing......and would not stop.

But nothing stops the kids from having fun while camping!

Ryan couldn't wait to see if Daddy was going to let him ride

his quad in the snow!

Wyatt's first snow trip.....even if it wasn't planned!!

I think he liked it!

The kids played while the adults packed up....quickly!

......and.......YES....Ryan got to go for a ride on his quad in

the snow!!! Yea!!!!

The BIG Night!! At the Race!

2009-04-20T13:09:00.001-07:00

The track and obsticles.

Rhett and Ryan havin' fun watching the races!

Regan watching...or not.....with Aunt Sarah!

Ryan was so excited to see this truck....War Wizard!!

Go Batman!!!

Ryan loves Donkey Kong........

..........But not as much as GRAVE DIGGER!!!!!

Grave Digger landed right in front of us!! Thank goodness
the first 9 rows are blocked off...we are in row 11.

Regan and Me enjoying some time together. She was really

getting bored!

Las Vegas Pit Party

2009-04-20T12:44:00.001-07:00

Ryan got to sign this box truck and they put this truck out
on the track for the monster trucks to crush!

Regan had been real sick the day before and still wasn't feeling
100% at the pit party. She tried to enjoy herself.

Wyatt's first Monster Jam Pit Party!!! He had been sick too,
we were lucky to get this smile. Poor guy.

Ryan had a blast! It's been fun seeing the change in him
each year we go! He's a true fan!!

Ryan had tons of fun talking to all the different drivers and
having them sign his shirt! This particular driver asked Ryan
who his favorite truck was and Ryan was brutally honest
and told him straight out..."Grave Digger!" Needless to say
the driver was very disappointed! LOL

This was a very unexpected head-lock! Ryan thought it was
so funny!!

This is Dennis Anderson, the driver of GRAVE DIGGER!!
Well, obviously, not really, but it was funny......and...we didn't
have to wait in line for 4 HOURS to get this picture!! :)

Couldn't leave the pit party without getting a picture with
the best truck ever!!!

Monster Truck Custom Clothing!

2009-04-20T12:25:00.000-07:00

Grandma Andrea made the kids matching clothes to

wear to the "pit party". So cute!!

Fun with family!

2009-04-20T12:01:00.000-07:00

The kids had a blast with their Aunt Sarah and Aunt Keigthy Bug!

Out and about in Vegas

2009-04-20T11:40:00.000-07:00

Our hotel was right on the strip, so it was great to be able to
walk to the places we wanted to go. These pics are from our
walk back to our hotel after a DELICIOUS Vegas Buffet!!

He's Crawling!!!!!!!

2009-03-20T12:45:00.001-07:00

Wyatt has been slowly gaining strength and confidence on
his hands and knees. Well, today he really crawled!!! We are
so proud of him!

Touch a Truck Event

2009-03-20T12:15:00.000-07:00

We went to an event put on by Rhett's work called
the Touch a Truck event. The kids loved seeing all
the really big trucks and equipment.

They even had big dirt piles for the kids to play

in and these real cool shovel things.

The Air Force had a police car there and Regan

was so excited to say something on the loud speaker.

They demenstrated the police K9. It was

pretty cool.

We even got to see the 2009 Wiener Mobile!!!!

Gotta love the air horn!!

The Empire CAT Hummer.

Aside from Sarah getting fried......it was a great time!!

2009-02-13T09:25:00.000-08:00

Make a Smilebox greeting

Kids say the funniest things!

2009-02-05T09:08:00.000-08:00

This morning Regan was singing, as always, with
her beautiful little voice. She was singing "I Love
To See The Temple" and these are the words she
sang: "I love to see the temple..............for the temple
is a house of god, a place of "Sleeping Beauty".......!!
So cute!! I just had to blog such a funny moment!!

Santa Gift!!!

2009-01-13T16:17:00.000-08:00

When we got home from California, our Santa Christmas was
waiting for us!(Thank you "Santa's Helpers") Even though it was
late when we finally got home, the kids were so excited to see
what Santa had left them!! Of course, I only video taped that
night, so these pics are taken the next day or so.......still just
as exciting!!

Regan just had to have a "purple princess bike"!

And Ryan had to have "a blue bike"!!

We are so blessed to have been able to have this great

Christmas with our kids. Wyatt got a few little toys.....just

not as exciting when they have no idea what is going on!

Gingerbread Houses! 2008

2009-01-13T15:48:00.000-08:00

We made gingerbread houses with Aunt Leanne this year!
We didn't get to last year, so the kids were really excited
to get to do it again.

Ryan was so careful and patient with his. He even
figured out how to do the icicles by himself.

He really enjoyed making the gingerbread houses
again.

......another view............................

..............another view.

Regan had to have everything in just the right spot!

There was no changing her mind on anything!!

Although she wasn't thrilled about having her

picture taken at this moment, she did really enjoy

making the gingerbread house.

It really did turn out pretty cute in the end.

.....another view.......

........and........another view.

6 Months Old!!!

2009-01-05T15:47:00.000-08:00

Can't believe this little guy has been around

for six months!

More Adventures in good old California!

2009-01-05T15:20:00.000-08:00

We went to the L.A. Zoo with my parents, my
younger sister, one of my older sisters and her family,
and one of my older brothers, his fiance and his son.

Ryan really loved all the animals, but was real
upset when we found the petting zoo to be closed :(

Regan loves Giraffes, so she was very exctied
to see them there!

Fun Times!!!

Christmas Eve in California!

2009-01-05T14:55:00.000-08:00

Wyatt's first Christmas! My mom got him these
socks for Christmas...had to get a picture!

We read and acted out the Nativity. A long

running family tradition.

It was so great to be able to see all my siblings,

their spouses, and children! The cousins all had

so much fun seeing each other after so long.

Ryan was Joseph......and proud of it!

Regan was a shy angel.

Our little man is growing so fast!

2009-01-02T14:06:00.000-08:00

Well, here he is! Our happy little man!

He is Quite the Character!

You know you always have to capture the

sleeping pictures.

Poor little guy, he's been battling Thrush for

forever. We just can't get it to go away for good!

One more of his blue mouth. :)

He's getting so big. I am so grateful for everyday

I have to spend with our beautiful children!!
We are so blessed!

Wyatt's Tube Adventure!

2008-11-17T12:48:00.000-08:00

Doesn't he look thrilled?!? We love being up at 4:30am!

Even Wyatt is not a morning person.

He was soooooooo hungry, but he was really

good for being so hungry. Everything went great

and now we wait to see if they help him.

Guess I should post Halloween

2008-11-12T14:44:00.001-08:00

Cinderella is ready for the ball!.....okay maybe she's ready for trick-or-treat.:)

Darth Vader....always ready for a fight....and trick-or-treat!

Crazy Ryan...always trying to steal the spotlight from Regan.
Okay..........soooo..........................................

I'm so bad with taking pictures....I took no pictures of Wyatt on his first Halloween. How bad of a mom am I?....Don't answer that! Hey, we're lucky I took any pics at all!

..........a day later..............................
Okay, so I found a picture taken at Rhett's Aunt Darla's house, at our pumpkin carving night. Here he is.....it's not a great one, but at least it is some kind of record of his first Halloween. You can kinda see he's wearing a skeleton romper. Maybe I should just dress him up again and take some pics now! LOL

Ryan's First Day of School!

2008-11-12T10:59:00.000-08:00

This was way back in August, but I
had to add this milestone to our blog.

Walkin' to the bus stop! Can't believe it!

Gettin' on the BUS!! AHHHH!

Gettin' off the bus at SCHOOL...AHHH! I Followed the bus to school.

Lining up with his class! Being a tough guy at school. Can't believe my little guy is in school now...crazy stuff!! I may have cried a little.....just maybe!

Something to smile about!

2008-10-29T12:11:00.000-07:00

Thought we could all use a good laugh right about now! Wyatt is usually a pretty happy little guy as long as we keep antibiotics going for his awful ears....yea for us!! He has had the same double ear infection for about a month and a half. We'll probably be doing tubes next month.

Growing up too fast

2008-10-24T11:07:00.000-07:00

Wyatt is now four months old! Wow, I can't believe it!

Camping in Arizona's White Mountains

2008-10-22T09:43:00.000-07:00

It seemed the world was against us going camping this time. Everything was going wrong...we finally reached a good spot to set up camp and eventually we had an awesome time. Of course the kids found the first mud puddle they could and Ryan decided to play golf with a stick in the mud puddle...flinging mud accross Regan's face. They were quite rowdy after riding in the truck for most the day.

Wyatt's first camping trip! So cute all bundled up.

Oh I love pictures! Here we are chilin' on Sunday, playing cards.

The fall colors were beautiful. It was peak time for the fall colors. The aspins looked like brilliant yellow lights as the sun shone on the leaves. Here's Rhett enjoying the great view and weather.

Regan loves goin' for quad rides with me or Rhett.

It poured rain all the way up to our campsite. So there were plenty of puddles for Ryan to do his favorite thing......MUDBOGGIN'!!! We couldn't keep him out of the puddles. If it wasn't for his helmet he would have been covered from head to toe in mud & water.

This is CJ. Our dog of many years. Rhett has had her for about 14 years. This picture was taken on her last day of life. She was a very good dog and we miss her.
We love you CJ!

This is Pepper, our new dog. She is actually the grandbaby of our dog CJ (long story).

One of the kids' Grandmas gave us this costume for Pepper.....She hates it so I had to take some pics so I wouldn't have to torture her again.

Happy Halloween!!!

Wyatt's Blessing

We blessed him on August 31st.

He was about 2 1/2 months old.

I don't know what I was thinking...I didn't take many pictures of the big event. We did it at our house and had a house full.

Funny times...and sad

Our tree has taken almost 6 years to get this big, big enough and strong enough for Ryan to climb it. He was so excited to get to do this.

He got really high up in the tree, actually the neighbor had to climb up and help him down because he couldn't figure out how to get down.

He's up in there somewhere! He really, really loved this adventure......and then a few days later................................a monsoon storm came........

.....And there went the tree. The winds were amazingly strong and we lost our tree.

Ryan was pretty devastated....but that didn't stop him from climbing it some more, Regan even enjoyed the tree a little before we hauled it off to the dump! R.I.P. little Mesquite.

Here we go!

I guess I'll start with our newest addition. Wyatt Gary Robinson was born June 19th and he is a great addition to our growing family.

Now what?!

So I decided I needed to start a blog to keep up with everyone else. I have no idea what I am doing, but I really got excited when I saw all the family I could keep in contact with through these blogs. I'm not sure how well I will keep it updated and all, but we shall see. I'll add some pics soon.
