Robbie looking sharp...  :)

Sid looking handsome!

We have been busy or this would have been posted last weekend.  Sorry!!!    Robbie was ordained a Deacon on Sunday Oct. 16, 2011.  He looked very handsome and this Sunday Oct. 23, 2011 he will be passing the sacrament for the very first time.  I can't believe my baby is that big.

We now have 2 priesthood holders in our home.   We have been learning about the priesthood more since Robbie is now in the youngmens.  He is excited that as a priest in the aaronic priesthood you can baptize others.

We also have 2 new suits...   2 handsome boys...   1 very handsome dad and 1 proud mom.  :)    I love my little family!!!!!

HAPPY 12TH BIRTHDAY ROBBIE!!!!

 This first picture is of Robbie and my dad and me just right after Robbie was born.  Hard to believe my baby has gotten so big..  :)  Do you see the hair?   the beautiful skin?  the round perfect head?  

 This picture was just taken of Robbie a couple of weeks ago as we were on one of our outings.  We found a horny toad and the boys loved holding him.  The horny toad was also happy cause it was freezing out and the warmth of the hands made him happy.  :)

This picture was taken this summer.  I caught him in a tree and what a perfect picture it turned out to be.  :) 

It is very hard to believe that my baby is 12.   That he is tall, handsome, and oh so kind.   He loves little kiddos and is so good with them.  He is a GREAT friend and a wonderful student.  He is amazing (usually) with his little brother.   I am so honored to be his mother.  :)   He has brought so much love and compassion into our home.  He is our quiet child...   Robbie we love you so very much and thank you for being a GREAT son and brother.     Happy Birthday!!!!   

He is so excited to become a deacon and be in the young mens with his dad.   As he says  "yippee, no more primary!!!"    Gotta love that kid.  

So at 12 he is 5 feet 6 ...    He wears a size 10 mens shoe..   He loves to play video games...   He loves spare ribs and moms homemade chicken noodle soup with the homemade noodles...    He is in the 6th grade..    He loves going to PE..  (what kid doesn't right?) 

This weekend Robbie will be ordained a Deacon..   :)

Doctors and Dentists...

this first picture is right after they put the stuff on...  

 after a couple of minutes....

 this is the ones in his arm..........    He is such a trooper...   no tears...  but did go into a shock state where he got cold and sweaty and white as a ghost.. 

 this is of my incision on my neck.............

I was reminded last night by a dear friend that I hadn't updated my blog for awhile..  So Shannon here is your update.  :)     This month has been eventful I guess is a good way to say it.   I went to the doctors for my surgery and the neck is doing fine,  just have blood clots in my arm.  I do have to say they hurt more than my neck ever did.  So for the clots, I have to hot pad my arm constantly..   which as a mom is impossible so I do it in the evenings and go to sleep with the hot pad on my arm.      We have also done a lot of dentists.  Sid has been twice this month and received 3 crowns and 2 cavities filled..  ugh!!!    Sid had to also go have allergy testing. Which was interesting..  We found out he is allergic to everything except horses...   Can't have a horse cause he wouldn't be able to eat because ummm  allergic to hay and alfalfa and everything else "farm pollen", "grass", "weed", "tree", "dust", "mold", "cat", "dog", "feathers"  and who knows what else..  they shot 62 things in his back I think  and 6 in his arm..  

As you can see from the pictures..  his poor back swelled instantly... It was so crazy...   :(      

Well at our house tomorrow  10/11/11 is a very special day...  It is Robbie's 12th birthday..  He is so excited!!!!!!!     I will post again tomorrow

We have also had some fun this month getting to know ward members.  :)   Have I said that I LOVE our new ward..
