1st Birthday

Today is Kennidee Paige's 1st birthday!! I can't believe she is 1. She is a ball of energy all the time. She is going all the time and she will wake up early (yes that is before the sun rises) and will go all day if there is something going on. When we were in Disneyland she only slept when we were on Pirates of the Carribean. Her favorite thing to do right now is to go on a bike ride with McKell. My pictures are backwards the top picture is from today and then she gets younger and younger. We are not celebrating today because BJ has parent - teacher conference until late tonight. I will post pictures of her party after sunday.

One day is enough!

McKell had her 1st day of preschool on Tuesday. I can't believe she is old enough to go to school. She had lots of fun. When I asked her if she was ready to go to school on Thursday she told me "No, I already did". I guess for McKell one day of school is enough for her whole life.

Book Review!

Saving Madeline

As a public defender, Caitlin McLoughlin dreams of someday locking the bad guys in prison instead of defending them. But prosecuting jobs are scarce, and Caitlin’s future seems bleak. When her current client is about to walk away from a brutal crime, she risks her career to make sure he doesn’t hurt anyone else. Yet what if her choice means sacrificing her career and the means care for her mentally disabled sister? Then Caitlin meets Parker Hathaway, charged with kidnapping four-year-old Madeline. Just another criminal, another job, Caitlin thinks. But Parker tells a far different story. Can Caitlin believe him, as her heart urges? Is she willing to put everything on the line to defend her client—a man who claims to be protecting the child he loves? Or is her trust better placed in the handsome deputy district attorney with his undefeated record in court? Caitlin’s pursuit of the truth swiftly thrusts her into a maze of unanswered questions and unexpected heartache.Meanwhile, time is running out for Madeline. If Caitlin doesn't find the proof she is looking for soon, there may not be a future for any of them.


I had the opprutunity to read Rachel Anne Nunes new book Saving Madeline. Anyone who knows me knows I looove to read. It drives my husband crazy because if I have a good book to read like this one. I am useless around the house until I have it read.

If you like a book that makes you think, then this is the book for you. She wrote a book that demonstrates that life's choices are not black and white. Is it ok for you to steal your child? Does it depend on the circumstances or is it just wrong? I loved the book. This book has you look into yourself and ask the question what would you do?

I have always loved Rachel Ann Nunes' books and this one was amazing I read it late into the night because it kept me turning the page. If you would like to read more about her book or her other books visit http://www.rachelannnunes.com/

Roberts Reunion

We went to the Roberts' family reunion last week. It was fun for the adults and the kids. We played something where you put ice in a swimming pool and you have to use your feet and put it in a bucket.

McKell got 5 ice cubes and I got 8 in my bucket. It was alot harder than I thought it would be. The winner for the adult women had a 131 ice cubes. Yes, I know I did pitiful. I think having big feet is a disadvantage.

The next activity for the little kids was they had a plate that had M&M's hidden inside of cool whip and you could only use your mouth to get them out. McKell had tons of fun with this.

I think the little kids had more fun on this little roller coaster than almost all the games put together. They even started riding it backwards.

Now the best for last. BJ got a hair transplant doesn't it look great. He has been feeling the burn from the lack of hair on top of his head and decided to wear this hot hat of his Uncle Mike's. Wow that is all there is left to say about that!
