four years

I can't believe that it has been 4 years since I had her.

It feels like she has been with us forever.

She has got the greatest smile with the bluest eyes.

She can be stubborn but that come in handy sometimes.

She learned her alphabets at the age of 2 because she wanted to be

like her big sister Naomi.

She is so excited to have a birthday party today.

She was hopping that Scott would dress up as Cinderalla

but I don't think that will happen.

She said that if he can dress up as Burt why not a princess.

I love this girl and glad that it has been 4 years.

Happy Birthday Sadie!!

tag

Okay I am not sure why Dede tagged me because I hate being tagged.

But as Dede said this one was easy....

In your pictures go to your 4th folder &

pick your 4th picture.

(This picture on my slow Mac.)

This picture was taken when Naomi was taken off her cast.

She was barely 2 years old. Allie and I took our girls to Murray Park.

(They have some cool places to take pictures)

I haven't looked at those pictures for a long time.

What a sweet face.

(Then on my new computer)

Allie took these pictures of my girls in May.

I love this picture. Sister love.

It's a good thing I am adding one more girl.

Okay so I have to tag someone else......

Bobette, Kim, Emily(if she will ever blog)

Good luck ladies.

park

After a long day (really week) I took the girls to

Murray Park. They were so excited that they were running

and laughing together. I think that made up for Naomi, she

was mad that I pulled her out of school. She said "why can't

Kim or Emily come and get me?"walking to the slide they found some geese. My girls with no fear.

Started running for them saying "come here I just want to pet you"

Finally when I got to them they were covered in duck poop.I do have to say that this is a cute picture of them.

Sadie was so tired after playing and running hard. That she
sat down in the tree and said "I want to go home"
So we did.

temple square

Ricks Uncle Steven is in town from Missouri. Yesturday he had a meeting down town so me and the girls meet him down there and looked around. I am not much of a photographer like some of my other friends but I thought that this picture was pretty cool of the temple.

I love this picture of Sadie at the top of the Conference Center. I was thinking of the song "I love to see the Temple" and Sadie turns around and says "Mom I'm going there someday".


I sure hope that she does.

We went to dinner at the Garden and the girls was so excited.

The view and dinner was great.

halloween

Okay Allie I am posting pictures of the girls and there Halloween costumes.

The best part of the night for them was putting on make-up.

I had to make the walk around the block but as soon as I got

around they found Tyler and he took them around some more.

So that I could sit by some friends outside and pass out candy.

Trunk or Treat next year anybody?!

Fun Pumkin Carving Game

Click here: http://www.cubpack81.com/images/carve_pumpkin.swf

Here is a fun Halloween pumkin carvin game for you kids.

Scarecrow

We made our annual trip to Scarecrow Festival down at

Thanksgiving point with my sister.

Like a good girl that I am I forget to take some really cool pictures.

So I will just tell you some. We got to see Todd(brother in law)

help bring in the helicoper in. My girls thought that was top

of the world. They like there Uncle Todd. Probally

because he acts there age. Ha Ha Ha

So here is us waiting for the train to come.

Doesn't Eli look so excited to ride the train?Finally on the train.
Naomi is always asking the get her face painted
where ever we go. So now that Dad was not there
to tell me that this is the dumbest thing to spend our money on.
I went ahead and did it.


Naomi got a rainbow and Sadie got a fish.
Eli got a rocket.

So I am not a professional photographer like

some of my other friends, but I still think that my

girls are really cute.

Thanks Wendy for coming with us!!!

Larry Bird??

I know that it has been like 5 weeks since I have posted, but I really have a good excuse. Did I tell you that I am pregnant. And it is killing me! I barely can keep up with the house work and laundry (barely is the key word). I have been going to the doctors once a week to listen to the baby. I am 24 weeks and can not feel her. Maybe does it have to do that I have 2 uterus and she has a lot to swim in. Here is the good news I am finally feeling her this week!!!
Okay on to more exciting news. In September we took a fast trip to California and went to Mickeys Grove.( A really small and cheap zoo) It was great there. There was a total of 3 families there. But here is the best part of it. We got first class treatment there. They all thought that Rick was Larry Bird. At the end of our trip there one guy ended up asking us. So I played off of that and started calling him Larry. We got some looks and got to ride lots of time.
So here are some pictures of that great trip.

Really there is 2 monkeys there.

Not Rick and his Dad.

(Naomi took this picture)

Okay that is all you get posting makes me mad. It's putting the pictures

in the word order.

So good luck with that ladies. If I can do it so can you!!

the roberts curse

My Roberts family has this curse. What ever child that you start out with

that is all that you can have. So today I was hoping to change that, but the

curse still stands. Unfortuantley I will never change that, I think that this

will be my last one.

I am really excited to have a new baby to our family and that I don't have

to figure new things out but it would have been nice to have Rick take

this new baby to the bathroom during dinner than me. So

now you will know why if I am late somewhere is because I have

4 head of hair to do.

She was moving her hands all over the place and Naomi thought that

was pretty cool to see her move.

Thanks to my Mom who came with me because Rick was out

of town. This was a new thing for my Mom to see.

what I love to spend my money on

Sadie and Naomi were helping me out(because I don't feel good)

to take the Winder milk cans over to the neighbors house.

As I was attempting to put the food away, Sadie came in screaming with

blood running down her face.

After cleaning it up and trying to see where the wound is.

This is what we found out. 1 inch battle wound on her forehead.

So off I go to the InstaCare (with a sticker shock that my insurance went

up to $25 instead of my confortable $15)

We ended up just glue it instead of stickes because Sadie would not

hold still for that long, and I would have to return to the InstaCarefor another $25.

Why is that my 2 GIRLS have had more stickes and more cast than

someone with lots of boys. My sisters have never had such a thing happen.

Sadie has done this twice. Naomi had stickes 1 and lots of cast.

So just beware if you take them to the doctors with wounds

make sure that your kids have there story straight so they don't

suspect you of anything.

10 reasons why I don't blog

I know I hear it from everyone why that I don't post anything any more.

So here is 10 reasons why my life is crazy.

1.I am to tired

2. I have a 1st grader(who comes home so tired)

3. I have a dirty house

4. I joined PTA (don't ask me why I did that one)

5. I don't feel good

6. I don't feel good

7. I don't feel good

8. I don't feel good

9. I am always hungry

10. I am 15 week pregnant

I tired to hide it but I am sure that most of you can tell since I have gained 7 pounds.

I come home from walking Naomi to school and my stomach hurts from sucking it in.

So I figure I might as well spill the beans out.

So that is why I don't do anything. I love to lay on the couch and wish that I had a slurpy.

I am so excited my nervous at the same time. 3 kids!!!

chloe roberts

Here is amazing Jyll. After more than like 14 hours of labor. She finally had to have a c-section. I don't understand how she can look so great after that long of labor.

But Amy and I still like you even if you do look that great.

Naomi chance to hold baby Chloe.

Her weight was 7lb 12oz and 19 inches long(although Reed want a recount)
She looks really long.

Here is Sadie holding baby Chloe.

Sadie thought that was the coolest thing.

Now Amy quite giving me a hard time about posting something.

I did it!!!

my guy!!

I know that I have not bloged for awhile, but I went on vacation

for a week and as soon as I got home down with the flu and strep throat

for the week. That was not fun.

So I thought I should at least tell Rick

"Happy Fathers Day"

He is such a great Dad to his girls and I am on top of that list.

(most of the time)

He works so hard to make sure that I can stay home with our girls.

I am so grateful for him even if he will not be here with us today.

I love you and see you later.

O'Henry

How can you love that face.

Henry can light up a room.

Those cheeks you just want to grab them and kiss them.

Amy will you take care of that for me?

I love you Hen Hen!!

navel of Utah

For memorial weekend the Roberts went outside of West Jordan.
I know that you are all surprised because our vacation are going to
Grandma house and camp in the back yard. Even though that is
really fun we had a great time in the Levan (navel spelled backwords)
We went 4-wheeling and even Annette went with me.
She had a great time and held on to so tight.
When there was the a little bump her hand would mirgrate
to the top of handle bars on my chest. (if you get what I mean)
She had a smile on her face.

At night they had a campfire in the back yard with a pond there.

So we had smores and it was great talking with my family.


Here is a great picture of Sadie so tired around the campfire.

Right after this she fell asleep on Grandma Arlene's lap.

Thanks to Carolyn and Mike for there home.

herbie goes banana

After my nephew watched
"Herbie Goes Bananas"
Wendy could not find Curious George aka Eli
after the show and this is were she found him.
I am posting this because Wendy blogging is just e-mailing.
So I am helping her out and letting everyone see how cute he is.

Belief-O-Matic

After seeing the"Belief-O-Matic" on someone blog. I thought I would see if I was 8 percentage points away from being a Jehovah's Witness, and sure enough I was. Atleast I can fall back on Jehovahs Witness maybe I would be a little richer without all of those holidays that I spend money on. Ha!!

Here is my results of that test.

1. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (100%) Thank goodness I was a little confused about that!!!

2. Jehovah's Witness (92%)

3. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (72%)

4. Orthodox Judaism (67%)

5. Islam (59%)

lunch buddy

"Lunch Buddy"

Abby Gottfredson is Naomi's Buddy for the year.

She has really loved her.

They could not be more alike. They are both really quite, but they talk with each other. Naomi was so excited to go to lunch with her. Naomi could not stop talking about how she only ate a cookie and chocolate milk, and she ate more than Abby.

Maybe that is her secret of staying so skinny. I think that I will try that diet next.(Oh! I already do that)

Thanks Abby for being a great buddy to Naomi all year.

my rock stars

Introducing my rock stars

Naomi and Sadie love this song, so they grab there microphones (Pens)
and started singing in the kitchen as loud as they could.
I thought it is so cute.

cabin get away

I was able to go to a beautiful cabin this weekend with 18 funny women.
It took awhile to get there because my little truck couldn't make
it up the hill. I had a great time getting to know different ladies
and learning new crafts.



We had a great time making bead earings and necklaces.
Thanks to Amber for letting us use the cabin.

Naomi is 6

Naomi just turned 6 years old on Friday the 18th. She had a great day. The first thing she shares her birthday with 2 other great people Samuel Horne and Emily Horne. Emily and I took over 36 balloons to school for them. Emily and I thought that we were the best Moms ever. After coming home she got to take 2 friends to FatCats and go bowling.



Then she wanted to get her ear pierced. So we went to Claires in the mall. Megan Cerva would say "Naomi it only hurts a little". I tried to get her to zip her mouth.
Got to the store and fear struck her. She did not want to do it any more, but Sadie did. So I let her, she didn't even cry so Naomi thought that she could do it and she did. So just take a look at the picture and it explains that they were in a great mood.

We had a great day and I can't believe that my little girl is now 6.

blurb

After surfing on the web I found this fun website that will take all the guilt away for not writing in your journal. They will make a book for you. So now all that time that we all spend blogging can really put to some good use (right?)
http://www.blurb.com/

stupid computer

I bought this computer less than a year ago and my hard drive has crashed. How lucky am I?
After I was on the phone for 1 hour with Tech Support ( most of that trying to figure out what
she were saying, I think she was from India) they are going to send me a new hard drive. So
now I have lost some pictures and most important church stuff. I have to start all over in 3-5 days.
Wish me luck!!

happy birthday Kim

Happy Birthday Kim
I wondered why I have such good friends in my life.
Kim is such a great example to me, she strong in the
gospel. She can make me laugh and not take life so
serious. But yet I can cry on her shoulder when I
need to, and she doesn't care.
That is why I love Kim
Happy Birthday!!

lil' nail tech

Introducting

my lil' nail tech

Sadie loves to paint her nails

so I got some great pictures of her doing it.

What a cute girl.

she going to kill me

I do have to say that I have the cutest nephew around,
even if he is sporting pink pajamas.
Ethan is spending the night at my house tonight, but had no
pajamas with him. I said that I had plenty. I sent him and
Sadie in there to find some and this is what he came out with.
Now to top it all off he just came and asked if I could
paint his fingers and toes.
Hopefully Amy will let him come stay again.

cheese

Sadie

3 years old

makes people laugh

talks great

loves to cut and color

looks just like her mother(poor girl has my hair)

Naomi

She is caring 5 years old.

A great helper to me

beautiful

loves to read

color

If you know me that my guilty pleasure is reality tv shows.

Well one will begin here soon. So tonight you can watch what

happened to all of the other bachelors and why they are not

married and why they broke up right after the show.

But here is the kicker, next Monday you can watch the new

bachelor shatter girls' dreams.

I know that you will all be watching, so that we can talk

about this in 1 week.

Talk to you then!!

Never Smile at a Crocodile

Sadie loves to sing
When I was taking care of Annette. Sadie made Amy
play this song over and over on the piano.
When I got home I bought this song on i-Tunes.
Listen when she sings she says
"you may very will be a Brat"
I think that she is singing about herself. She does not
believe me that is says “You may very well be well-bred.

29 degrees to 23 degrees

How ungrateful would I be if I did not thank my Heavenly Father for giving me such a brave girl. She has gone through so much in her life that I would not be able to do. Today we had her year check up. It was the longest wait time that I can remember. Naomi's left hip cup has to grow around her leg. Every year they take a x-ray and see if the cup has moved any. Last year we got a bad x-ray saying that it has not moved any. So this year if it did not grow anything then she would have another surgery to put a bone in there to cup around the leg bone, and be in a spica cast(full body cast) for 4 months. That does not sound fun to me. So I happy to say that it moved from 29 degrees to 23 degrees. (That is really good if you didn't know that)

We could not be happier today.
So I very grateful to my family and friends for prayer and fasting for her this month. My life would not complete with all of you in it to support us. So tonight I say my prayers in gratitude for a good hip and good friends and family.

Theres no place like Home

As much as I love Annette and want to help my Mom out. There is no place like home. This week has been crazy going back and forth from my Mom's to home. Today is my last day of being here to take care of Annette so I can sleep in my own bed!! But I am always glad to help out my Mom to get a break. Out of 365 days she gets 1 week of a break from her 40 year old daughter. If you think that you have it bad just think that my Mom has had 5 sets of twins and has changed over 50,000 diapers. What a great woman she is to never complain.
Thanks to Amy for being here with me and to hang out. It is always fun to take care of Annette when your sister can come with you, and her 2 sweet boys.

100 days

100 days of

a great teacher

fun

learning

friends

Naomi was so excited about her 100 days in Kindergarten that we had to take a picture of it. She has enjoyed Kingergarten with Mrs. Drake and can't wait until she goes to 1st grade.

too much snow

I think that we have too much snow theses day. It snowed and the wind blew that there was so much snow up against our house that the girls could that a sneak peak over the snow. It took us a few hours and a 1 broken shovel to get threw the snow. After we have a little path Rick went on a hunt for a new shovel.
