North Park re- opening

While I was away with my family, AJ and Nana aka (Jami) took the kids to the re- opening of North Park in Spanish Fork. The park had all sorts of activities that day. They have a splash pad, swings, ball fields. Anyway as you can see they had fun.
Our two girls.

Oh how we love Nana!

Looks to me like Jayden was getting ready to freak out.

Camping at Payson Lakes

We took the kids camping at Payson Lakes. Our plan was to go fishing, but that was before someone stole AJ's tackle box out the back of his truck. We didn't find out it was missing until we were getting ready to go fishing. Whoever that person is got away with $3oo plus of fishing equipment. Anyway we still had a good time and let the kids play in the water and mud. They didn't seem to mind at all.
Taya waiting to eat some dinner.

Jayden took his Dads shovel and was digging holes all over...

Avery in her huge shoes that I bought her. I had to go buy shoes for her, so we stopped at Walmart and instead of buying size 4 infant, I bought size 4 toddler. I didn't know I did that until we got up there. So needless to say she didn't do much walking around.

This was the first time we took Avery camping, and it was a long night for me. Avery and I ended up in the truck ALL NIGHT with no sleep.

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.

Little Avery!

Just had to put some of our most recent pictures of Avery. This little girl is coming up on her 1st birthday. I cannot believe that it has been almost a year sense she entered our lives. She is sooo much fun and is growing so fast. She is about to walk, she takes about 7 to 8 steps and falls, pretty soon she is going to take off and not even look behind her.
So I have mentioned in the past that she is a thumb sucker. She has her favorite blanket, and I am not even kidding the minute she sees it she inserts her thumb into her mouth.The picture above, I was trying to get her to smile, well I got a smile, but she would not take her thumb out. She is so funny.


Our little beautiful baby girl!

Fiesta Days

We took our kids to Spanish Fork Fiesta Days. Taya was not with us because she had some babysitting jobs at her moms house to earn some money. Jayden and Avery had a lot of fun. Jayden had the most fun out of the two! Its fun to finally see him get so excited to go on little rides.Jayden in the "Get" Jayden still has a hard time pronouncing the letter J, so instead of saying "Jet" he says,"Get".
Just give little Avery a cup of ice, and she will stay happy. She will get all wet, but will stay happy.

Mommy, Avery, and Jayden. (and an onery looking carnival worker in the background, ha ha).

The classic tongue hanging out of his mouth. Only when he is in deep concentration.

Our handsome boy!

Provo Parade!

Jayden said that this balloon was "Starscream". You know you have a boy, when all he does is name the floats after Transformers.
Funny Story about Taya.
Mandi Y her aunt works for Aveda hair school which took part in the parade, and taya was asked to be in it. She thought that they were going to be on a float getting their hair done by students ( so she was told by her cousin). Well it didn't turn out that way, she ended up walking the entire parade handing out fliers to the crowd. I was told that she was not happy about it and was complaining the entire time. It ended up being a long, hot walk for Taya. So needless to say, she was pooped. All I have to say is, good thing she wore comfy shoes.

Kids

I took this picture right before she made a huge mess of Jaydens room. I love her face expression.

Our little ones playing together. Jayden is so good to his little sister.

Peace!
