Gotta love rice cereal!

Crew has been eating solids for several weeks now, but I thought I would post these pics of his face after tasting rice cereal for the first time. He wasn't quite sure what to make of it...it was pretty funny! He eats it fine now. He's also had bananas, pears, applesauce, cantaloupe, and sweet potatoes. What can I say-- our little man loves to eat!

Oasis Gymnastics

Our friends introduced us to this awesome place called Oasis Gymnastics center. Every Mon. Wed. and Fri. they do a "preschool power hour" from 10-11am where they kids have free range of the the whole gym to do whatever they want. Caysja seriously had so much fun! She would love to go there every day if I could afford it. She called it "mashtics" and now all she wants to do is wear her leotard around the house and do somersaults, jump off the couch, etc..

The foam pit was the BEST!

Fourth of July~2009

We had so much fun on the 4th of July! Our friends, Adam and Joanna Smith, invited us and the Morris family to go to Prescott, AZ with them for the day. (Thanks, guys!) They had rented a little house built in the 1800's in downtown Prescott. We made it just in time for the parade (I can't begin to say how many horses we saw) and the girls loved it. It was so great to get out of the heat a little. (The temps were more like what I grew up with in ID.) We had a pic-nic later on and then headed home. Prescott is known for the "world's oldest rodeo" and I kind of wish we could have stayed for that...*sigh*...oh, for the days before kids...and naptimes...and schedules...

Mmmm...ice cream and good friends...it doesn't get any better than that!

Doing "pop-its" with Joanna--(the only firework allowed in AZ)

Isn't this the sweetest little house? Do we look like we just bought our first home or what?

I am so grateful to live in this choice land of America. I know that I am very blessed. I know that our Founding Fathers were led by Divine inspiration in writing our Constitution. May I never take my freedom for granted.

What a FABULOUS week!!

We've had such a wonderful week!! Caleb took his big Boards test on Wed. and felt pretty good about it so hopefully he did well--(we have to wait about 6 weeks to get the results back). We're so proud of him!! He's worked so hard. That night we had a BBQ with some friends of ours to celebrate that all of our husbands have taken their boards. The next day we were able to celebrate not only boards being over, but also our 5th Anniversary (even though it's not for another month) by going to see Wicked! We went with some good friends of ours since it was their anniversary too. I've wanted to see Wicked for sooooo long and I couldn't believe my good luck that it was coming to Tempe, AZ. The tickets weren't too expensive either (although we were way up there in the boonies, I must say). I LOVED it though! Seriously, it was so amazing! I have had the music stuck in my head ever since Thurs. night. We also went to dinner at Cheesecake Factory before the show and I love that place too. Unfortunately I remembered my camera, but forgot to take any pictures with it--figures! Then we had a wonderful time this weekend for the 4th of July as well. We were able to go to Prescott, AZ with friends. I DID remember to take pics of that event and they will be coming soon...

I made Caleb this little sign to surprise him when he got home from the test.

Here is my handsome Honey eating the banana split I made him to celebrate!

Here we are celebrating with our friends the Skinners, Hamblins, and Ryans that boards are OVER!! (Thanks for having us over, Britni!)

I seriously would love to see this show again!

Zion National Park

More catching up here...on the way home from Idaho, we stopped in Zion's National Park since it's right on the way. We've wanted to do that several times before but never made the time. It was so beautiful. I went there years ago as a child, but Caleb had never been before. Unfortunately we didn't bring the right equipment to do much hiking with our kids, but it was still fun to see all the gorgeous mountains.

Our Trip to Idaho

Where do I begin...

We had so much fun at home in IF. I think we crammed as much as we possibly could into those two weeks and for the most part everything was perfect. The one glitch was that Caleb's oldest brother was injured in a motorcycle accident near Palisades and had to be life-flighted to the hospital. He's okay now though, thank heavens. It was pretty scary there for a little while.

Two of my sister-in-laws--Marisa and Kynda. We all have girls the same age and now we all have boys the same age! What are the chances?!

The girls--Mariah, Nelah, and Caysja

The newest member of the Roberts family--Isaac Jacob, with his mother Marisa.

The boys in birth order--Davis, Crew, Isaac.

Auntie Chalisey got to meet Crewser for the first time.

Playin' BB with Daddy

My Girl

My dad took us all rafting--thanks, Dad!

It's always so fun to get together with my three good flute friends from college whenever I go home. We always go to the zoo with our kiddos.

I gave her this B-day present early since it was raining at the zoo.

Crew got to meet 5 great-grandparents for the first time.

Thanks for all the food, fun, games, laughs, and so much more! We love you all and can't wait to see you again!
