Shane got his number!!!

Megan earned 50 supper you awards at her school. I thought it wasn't a big deal, thinking a couple of dozen kids earned at least the same. She was recognized at an early morning assembly. I almost blew it off because it was so early. Turns out Megan was the only one who earned 50 supper yous and the entire assembly was for her! She got a gift certificate to Mimi's and a Moffett Mustang stuffed animal. I guess it was a pretty big deal. I am so proud of her:)
The coach and team captain:)
Just a little pre game Marc The Shark.
Kristi made Shane is own football cake.
He helped himself

Sis requested chocolate cake, she should have requested Ryan to clean up too!

The day before Shane got his # Megan said he was still 0. Blake and Aubri came over and played.
Kristi brought a ball pit with two hundred little balls. Shane was in his own ball world.

Who would have thought ice would be such a great drawing tool!
Team Shane!!!


So Shane is now one! We had a great day minus some favorite aunts and uncles. We celebrated with a big sports party. We had chips and dip, pizza and fun. Shane and his fans all wore sports jerseys. They were an awesome team. What a memorable day!!!

Happy Fathers day POPS!!!

POPS!!! I have so many great memories with you. I just wanted to take a minute and say thank-you for everything you have taught me! Here are some (not all because it would take to long) but some of my favorite things about you!

-You are so friendly! I can't remember a time growing up when you stopped to get gas and didn't have a 10 minute conversation with the person at the pump next to you. I remember being so excited when we would pull up to the gas station and there was nobody there because that meant you would be fast! Ha ha I am so grateful that you did that now because it has taught me to be a good people person and to have good conversation skills. Even at our wedding reception you took the time and went around to every table to meet everyone. But it's not just meeting them, It's shaking their hand and learning their name and making them feel important. I can't tell you how many people came up after the reception and told be how nice or how friendly you are! What an AMAZING character trait to have! Thank you for teaching me all that!



-There is never a dull moment with you. Other than the times when you wanted to have a strategy or format planned.. you weren't ever very serious! This taught me to never take life too serious, and there is always time for a game (or something of the sort) for instance seeing how many peices of bread we could take in one pinch of the sacrament! ha ha. Or eating string cheese for example... Never a dull moment!



-You are always Smiling! Everyone loves to meet someone or to know someone who is always smiling, To me, you are my example of that! I can even tell you are smiling when I am on the phone with you, it comes through in your voice. Plus it's not just a fake smile, it is a real genuine smile that can brighten anyones day. Thank you so much for always smiling and teaching me to always smile... no one likes to frown!



-You put strawberry jam and Bar-B-Que sauce on everything!! This totally grossed me out when I was little but believe it or not... it got me prepared for all the other gross things that guys do and eat!

-I can't wait for my little girl to experience the Marc the Shark attack or to... Suffer the fate of the falling pillow!

-Thin pancakes... Not much more needs to be said about that!

-Pops I have a lot more I could say about you but I need to save some material for future Fathers Days... No matter what I or anyone else has said, you are a great Dad and I love you! After all you are and always will be my daddy warbucks! What would I do without you! Happy Fathers day Pops! I hope you have a Great day and I love you!

ULTRASOUND!!!

After months of Robyn getting so impatient to find out the sex of our baby, we finally found out on Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008. We made our way to the women's center in the morning as our appointment was at 10 a.m.

When we got there we went straight to the ultrasound room. The lady put the the jelly stuff on Robyn's stomach and soon we were staring right at our beautiful yet, demonic looking baby due to it's skull showing up very vibrantly on the ultrasound. We couldn't believe how much the baby had grown since the last ultrasound. It was really amazing to see, and seemed that much more real.

After a few minutes of the baby twisting and turning all over (This baby is def taking after her dad. It looked like she had just drank a Red Bull) the nurse said it looked like it was looking like a girl... We thought -- No way! We were basically in shock. I was speechless, Robyn was crying all over the place, and the baby was still jamming out inside Robyn's womb.

A few minutes later, the baby decided to show us her little butt and sure enough revealed that she didn't have the bulge we were looking for. 'IT'S DEFINITELY A GIRL' the nurse said.

I reached down and gave Robyn a hug and kiss and told her how excited I was for a girl. It was so crazy I can barely describe it in words. It become so much more real that day and we are so excited to have a precious baby girl. The best thing is, she has all her limbs, she is completely healthy and looks perfect. Check out the footage from the ultrasound below:



My dad said that it is a good thing we are having a girl first so I can learn to be a little more tender with things. Man is he right, just watch me try to open anything packaged and you will see for yourself that I am not a very gentle person. I am sure this will all change soon enough when we welcome our perfect baby girl into the world.

It's a GIRL!!!

I just wanted to show you all how we would have told you what we are having if you lived here if we lived there (instead of the lame over the phone technique that I had to do)! The camp site we were at was Awesome!! It was right next to this massive waterfall and was GORGEOUS. We just decorated the table with all pink stuff and got some pink balloons. It was so pretty to see all those colors up in the canyon. We miss you all so much and can't wait to see you all! Enjoy these picture of your new Niece/Granddaughter. We have a video that we are to upload of the ultrasound so stay tuned for that. Love you all!
