Robs airplanes and helicopters

One thing Rob loves to do is put together airplanes
and helicopters and then fly them. He has to put all
of the little pieces together. He has a few helicopters that
range in size. He can be downstairs for hours putting all
the electronics together and tweaking everything just
right. Then, I get to watch him fly. Here are some pictures
of his helicopters. There are quite a few pictures.

Getting the helicopter ready to fly, testing it out.


You have to wear your safety glasses!


And we make lift off.

Now, we move onto Robs BIG helicopter. This one
is loud when the propellers start spinning. They
spin pretty darn fast.

He also has his airplanes that he loves to fly, he just got
this little one that you can fly inside.
It is small and lightweight.

Which Disney princess are you?

You Are Aurora! (A.K.A. Sleeping Beauty.)

Thoughtful and loving. Authority figures probably have been sheltering you all of your life. Thankfully you're a very tranquil person who is content with what life has given you, but secretly you want to know how the outside world works.

Which Disney Princess Are You?

Together, we turned 96!

It is my brothers birthday today and so I
finally made a birthday cake.

We have four birthdays in June and one in July,
and 3 of us in June never got our birthday cakes,
so we had combined birthday cake
for my brother and sister and Rob and I.
We added all our ages
together and put that number on our cake.
We are 96, so old.

So I finally got to make my jello cake,
my brothers favorite to.
I made it with strawberry jello. Yummm!
Two of my sisters are sick, so they missed out.
I hope you guys get feeling better.
It is no fun being sick.

Happy Birthday to everyone!

Happy 4th of July!

Friday we had our first official barbeque of the year. We met at my
uncles house and brought our own meat and had a good time.
We then went to the park across from the church to watch
fireworks. Rob felt pretty good, other than a headache he was
trying to get rid of. He was able to fly his small airplane in the
gym at church with my brother before the fireworks started.

Yesterday, we also had barbeques, one a 1:00p.m. at my
in-laws, we had hamburgers and visited with family and
also Robs sister and brother in-law that came up. The other
barbeque was at 7:00 and it was a Neighborhood party that
was just across the street from our house. We brought our
own meat to cook and also a dish to share. After dinner,
we chatted and then went out to the front to do a lot of
fireworks. Then after the fireworks, they played
"Night at the Museum" on our neighbors shed door
in the backyard. We went home after fireworks because
we were tired and it was already late. But it would have been
fun to watch the movie also. We had a good time visiting with
our neighbors. And Rob was feeling pretty good. Yeah!

Our garden is growing.

It is amazing how fast our garden has grown, everyday everything

gets so much bigger. We were gone for 2 days and I came outside
today and could not believe how big everything was.
We are planting corn, green beans,
yellow zucchini, yellow cucumbers, and tomatoes.

I also looked out the window before I went to
work and there was all this white stuff on the ground and I looked
up at the tree in our backyard and there were a
bazillion blossoms all over it. It was so beautiful.
It made me smile.

I'm 26.

Well, it was my birthday yesterday June 30, and I really didn't get anything except for a pair of shoes I bought. Thats okay, now that I am older, birthdays don't seem so important. And we did not have cake either. I was going to make a cake today (jello cake, mmmm...), but I am just not in the mood to make one, who needs cake anyway. Rob is not feeling the greatest anyways and so I have decided I will just make one when Rob is feeling better.

We had such a great weekend, and I am grateful that Rob felt good, but sometimes I just want to scream. We make such good progress and then it seems like we go backwards. I know we have been blessed through all this and I know he will get better, it is just so hard.

We have had so much love and support from family, friends, neighbors, ward members, and an old bishop, we just can't thank you all enough. You don't know what it means to us. We would not have made it this far without each other and everyone around us. We could not have asked for a better neighborhood, with kinder people that have helped us out so much after just moving in. Thank you to everyone.

We will make it through this and we will be that much stronger from this experience.

I still can't believe I am 26, I still feel so young. With that said, I feel like I have grown up a lot since being married and taking care of Robert. I have high hopes for the future with my honey and am so grateful for all the experiences life throws my way, making me who I am today. We love you all!

Happy 3 YEAR Anniversary!!

Wow, 3 years. I still cannot believe it has been 3 years,

they went fast, and also slow.
This post is a little late, but I didn't have it ready and we were
out of town, and did not have our computers with us (shocker).
So, a few days late.
Our anniversary was on June 28.

It has been 3 wonderful years with this wonderful man.
We have had our ups and downs. The downs mainly
being health issues.
We are working through it and getting better.


We decided we would take a weekend
vacation for our anniversary, and so we planned
to leave June 27 and stay at the Plaza Hotel
in Salt Lake and then Saturday June 28, to go to
RC Willey and find some furniture for our upstairs
and downstairs family rooms. We succeeded in getting
furniture for the upstairs and I am really
excited to see how it all looks.
We had some ideas for downstairs, but have not made
a decision yet. We are planning to go back again before
summer is over to check RC Willey out again.
We also went to IKEA, since we had never been and
we had fun walking around, we hit the toys section
and found a wooden train set that we just had to get.
We bought a bunch of sets for future
use and for when nieces and nephews stop by to visit.
We set it up for Robs brother and sister n' laws kids on Sunday
when we visited and they had fun driving the trains around.
We had fun watching them. They also had fun
pushing the cooler around.


We also made a stop to visit Robs sister and brother in law
and it was fun to talk with them
(although the visit with them was way to short).
We had a good time and we will come again.
We had a great time and it was just nice to get away,
even if it was for 2 short days. With the last 6 months of Rob
not feeling so good, and having his good and bad days.
We felt we needed to get out of Cache
Valley and have a little fun.

Here are some pictures from our Wedding Day. It was so
much fun, even with the downpour of rain. It made it
that much more memorable. There was even a rainbow,
who can complain about that. I am so grateful for the
man I married. He is so patient with me.
I want him to know I love him and I will always
be here for you, kid.

Some pictures as promised:

I can't wait for what lies ahead of us, together
we can make it through anything.

Robs Birthday - The BIG 3-0!

My wonderful husband turns 30 today and I just want to wish him a wonderful Birthday. He got to open his present this morning, since he already knew what it was. We got it about a month ago. I just would not let him open it until his birthday. He loves flying and putting together helicopters and airplanes. I just watch him.

We decided we would celebrate his birthday and my birthday together on June 30, he was not feeling the greatest today and by the 30th, he should be feeling a lot better. We celebrated at his parents house yesterday and he had his angel food cake. I didn't want to make another cake until he felt good enough to eat it.

I will also write more about my wonderful husband on June 28 (our anniversary), and also post some more pictures then also.

These are some of the pictures I have of Rob over the last 5 years.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROBERT!!
I LOVE YOU!!

Update on US!

I don't post many pictures of Rob and I on here, so I thought I would post some.
Nothing new, pretty much the same.

I love seeing a huge smile on Robs face, he is always so excited.
He hums and makes words up
to some random song he has in his head at the moment.
It just makes me happy to see him happy.
I can usually always tell when he is not feeling the greatest.

I have been trying this new diet, to see if we can get
Rob feeling closer to 100%.
NO Dairy, seeds, nuts, popcorn, whole grains.
YES to smooth peanut butter, white bread, cantaloupe, bananas,
cooked carrots, soy milk, soy powder for added protein,
calcium supplements,
and the list goes on.

I love my MAN!
I want nothing more than to have Rob feeling great all the time.
And if eating certain foods, and eliminating others will help,
then here we go.

As for me, I am doing great. Just trying to enjoy my weeks
off from work, which is sometimes hard.
I will be glad when my summer run starts in two weeks.
I will work Monday thru Thursday, with Friday off.
And they are shorter days.

What a Boring Life!

I am two days into my summer break and I am so bored, you have no idea. I really could go crazy. You would think I would have things to do around the house. I do have some organizing to do, but that is about it. Oh, and an occasional load of laundry.

I get up at 6:15 and pull my hair up and put my contacts in. At 6:30 I walk to my moms, which is just around the block, (usually takes 10 min. to walk to my moms and then 15 min. to walk to my house) and then my mom drops me off and walks back to her house. Then, I eat breakfast with Robert and get his lunch ready. After he leaves for work, I exercise for about a half hour and then take a shower and get ready. Then at 10:00, I watch "Good Things Utah" and after this show is when I get bored and I have to think of things to do. It gets to be a pretty long day. I did get a little bit or organizing done today and put some things in the D.I. pile.

Hopefully tomorrow I will be more productive!!
