Up and Comings- Be there!

We love our family and friends. Rob and I are blessed to be able to do so many fun things. We have had family picnics, ice cream date night, parties at the park, baseball with Grammy, and loving temple days.

WHAT IS STILL TO COME? We have our Year One Anniversary. We are completing the adoption process for Fatima. We will be sealed this month in the temple and finally be FAMILY FOREVER!!!
Fatima has her yearly district science fair this month. Her experiment is on, you guessed it: fire.
My brother's and nephew's baptism is in December and we hope to be able to attend!
Rob starts the structure fire academy in January.

Phew! What exciting adventures! 2008 will soon be nothing but a twinkle.

Timi's Shakespearean Allusion

Our house is a very very very fine House...

Our "soon to be" garage...

A funny thing happened on the way to our blog. We decided it was time to post some pics of our new nest we call home. However, all of the pictures we have are pictures of the actual work in progress. So, for now, until we update our folder with pictures of things other than dust and lumber... we present, "Our New House"...

YAHOOOOO!!!! The baby is a.....

We are thrilled. Fatima is so excited to be a big sister. Rob is very happy that we are having a little girl. (However, we all know they are not "little" for long.) I hope she has his amazing eyes and he hopes she has my curly hair. The ultrasound brought us great news. All ten fingers and toes are there. Due date is still 2/25/2009. Time is flying!

COME AND GONE...

Where does the time go? Rob has been here and has already gone, like a flash of lightning. Only He is much cuter than lightning. But probably as hot. He is in MOAB, wherever that is. We want to wish you all a happy Labor Day! Stars and Stripes!

WHERE IS ROB? Inquiring minds want to know...

August 9, 2008. Rob was transported to Chelan, WA. Not for another mission. But for a fire. He anticipates being home from WA on August 25. Fingers are crossed.

The "BLOG" Thing

It sort of sounds like.. The "Blob" Thing. Thank you all for posting comments... they make us laugh! So, everyone is asking for an UPDATE on the new house. WE LOVE IT! We got all moved in with a MAJOR thanks to Tim and Joe and the Stonewood ward... I am so grateful that everyone helped me...

As soon as Rob gets home, he has to fix the dryer, take out the empty boxes, clean the garage, hang the mirror, fix the towel rack, set up the TV, change the HUTCH to the other room for BABY, set up the bed frame, lift the dresser, remove the paint from the sink, AND then he can rest. For a minute. Poor guy. But after all that, I hope to have a PARTY... and who does not love a PARTY!?!

If I had the camera, I could post some pictures. Rob takes the CAMERA on the fires with him. He takes pictures of CHARRED squirrels. (No, really, he does). And he records things like other crew members eating banana SLUGS... maybe we will POST THAT!!! ha ha ha

Breaking Dawn...

What is all the HYPE about Breaking Dawn? Only that it is the best book ever, (besides its predessessors)... I love each and every character. Edward is my favorite. So far. It is amazing that just a book can arouse so many senses and make you feel awkward emotions you are not used to feeling. I am having a great time reading it, even though I have a love hate relationship with Jacob. Can you hear me? Kudos to those that have already finished it. Please dont ruin the ending for me, or I will have to sick my werewolf on you...

This is Feb. 2007 when Tim came home from his mission. It was the first time all three of them had been together since Dec. 2001.

This is me kissing Rob. MWAAAA. He felt like a sasquatch.

Charcoal Face

This is Rob on fire crew. He barely looks better at home.

Purple? I thought I could get everyone's attention. Just an FYI, if you want to put something on our page, just hit "comments" under the post you would like to comment on. I think that is how it works anyway.

The First Entry

So, I am a little "new" to the blog thing. But I figure, everyone I know is doing it, so I probably should too. Fatima, if you are reading this, you may ask, "If all of your friends jumped off a bridge, would you?" The answer is no. No, I would not jump off the bridge. But I would find a safer way down and help them out. So, I sit and type this new posting. Thanks to Joe. Thats Joseph Patrice Reedy to you...

Rob is sitting behind me on the floor working away at a 3D puzzle. It is kinda cool. Why am I not helping him, you ask? The better questions is.... Why is he NOT helping me with this new little thing you call "blogging"???

He says that if a page for our family ever was to be done, it would only be because I did it, not him...

So, I dedicate this first page to him. Here Honey, your family blog has been created.... in hopes of more to come!
