Walking!!!

This silly girl is walking! Avery has been walking for a couple of weeks now. She is all over the place. When she can't get where she wants to fast enough then its back to the speed crawling.






She turns 1 year old!

Our little Avs turned 1! She really didn't care about the cake until we put ice cream with it. Then she dug in and enjoyed it as you can see.
Avery loving the balloons that we got for her bday.

The "cake" I made.


I Love this picture of her in her new headband, and she lasted about .2 seconds and it was off her head!



This is her baby doll she got and absolutely loves! She loves to kiss and hug her.
Happy Birthday our little girl we love you!





Congratulations Dad!

On August 4th 2010, my Dad, First Sergeant George F. Rohbock had a retirement ceremony after 39 years in Uniform Service. I have to say it was so interesting to learn just a little bit about his military life. My dad enlisted on July 15, 1971 just after he married my mom. He has been in the Engineer Battalion and an couple different units through out his career. He actual retirement date is September 3o, 2010.This is a picture of him and his beautiful wife who has been there and supported him for 19 years. She has been a wonderful wife to him and a great mother to their daughter Michelle Brett, She has also been great to my sisters and I, and has been a wonderful grandmother with all her love and support in everything in my dads life. We love you Conna!

I love this picture of my Dad pinning a metal on Conna. I am not quit sure what you actually call these metals (sorry Dad). I know that this metal is for the wife of a soldier, to let her know that she is appreciated in the support of the soldier.


This is a picture of all of my family minus Mandi (she was up there but behind the podium). From left to right, Mandi (can't see her), Maelyn, Michelle, Melissa, Megan, Conna, and my Dad. This part of the ceremony was a suprise to everyone, Commander Chief Master Sergeant Robert A. Hill called us up to the stage and presented us with a dog tag necklace and a metal telling us how appreciative he is of our father and how he has so much respect for him. It was so cool!!!



Conna, Dad, and Commander Robert Hill.




This was a gift given to my dad from the National Guard with all of the Metals he has earned in his Career. He was presented with so many awards, and had so many other Soldiers give him gifts and tell different experiences about working with my Dad. One man said, that they need to make a Award named the "Rohbock award," and this award should be given to one Soldier per year that goes above and beyond his duties, because this is what my dad does every day. This is was just ONE of the many stories that they shared about my dad.
I just want to let my Dad know how much I love him, and how much I loved being there for his retirement ceremony. I really don't know a lot about your military life/family. It was so much fun to hear about you. I have always known that you are truly the best soldier and LOVE our Country you have always told us that. I know that you have passed it down to your daughters as well. Thank you for fighting for our freedom and putting your life out there for us to have the country we have today. I LOVE YOU!






HaPpY BiRtHdAy/ Happy Retirement! :)

Happy birthday and Happy retirement to our Dad. We planned a suprise b-day/retirement party for dad. He was really suprised and had a great turn out with family, friends, and co-workers. He has retired from working for the LDS church for 33 years. Now hopefully he will be able to enjoy some time for himself. Although we know how hard it is going to be for him not to spend it with the love of his life, because they had so many activities and places to visit. We love you Dad and thank you for everything you have taught us and have done for your family.
