Sending Good Thoughts To This Kid

So he is not really a kid but the big brother to a whole gaggle of sisters. But we are sending good thoughts and prayers to him tomorrow and Wednesday.

He is the man. Or as we say Brandon 'the shiz' Roper. Not, Brand 'em Russell them and Rope them Roper!

McCall

In June I got to spend a weekend in McCall with my two "kids" with the help of the little sister.

One night I got out of the shower and Jack said "Melia, your hair is crazy like my hair!"
So we decided to take some pictures of our crazy hair with crazy faces.

We had a party the whole weekend for Jack.

Including dinner at Chapalas with a sombrero and singing.

The night before we sang happy birthday and ate cake at the end of the dock. Jack is dressed in how he always is for McCall. Shorts and nothin else. Ready for the water!

We cut Jack's cake just right so it said his name! Love that kid.
We have had some great times together.
From when he was a newborn baby.
He is like me, he loves his sleep, he could sleep until noon some days!
He loves to snuggle and watch cartoons.
He loves sleepovers.
He use to not be able to say my name, so he would just make a bunch of noises when he would call for me. Then it transformed into Meli. Well, that has stuck.
Jack always gets super excited when I show up at his door. He loves to run and jump into my arms and wrap himself around my legs. Always puts a huge smile on my face.

We spent a lot of time on the beach hanging out. As you can see I am teaching Lilly well. It has only taken me 8 years but i have succeeded!

We had to perform a little surgery on her foot. But, who got the sliver out? Gabby. She is so good!

What We Saw At A Party...

We covertly took a picture of something we saw at a party. Notice man in blue shorts. Fashion no no. Even if you are super confident. That was a scary sight.

Rodeo's

We have been to a lot of Rodeo's lately!

We were lucky enough to go to the Oakley Rodeo with the Van Den Akker Family.

We went to the Ogden Rodeo.

The next night we went to the Days of 47 Rodeo

What can we say. We hold true to our last night, ROPER!

We live and love rodeos!

A Few Duck Pictures

I will post more duck pictures once I can get my pictures from my camera and not my phone... but for those who are waiting... Ok Susan this is for you!

Father's Day

The Twin and I are alive, my computer died so my iPhone has been mode of working.

For fathers day Cody and Brandon were headed to Boise. So we loaded up the volvo and headed home.

I had a little friend sleep over one night. He got to go up on the lake with us and sleep over with 'Meli'. Lucky Kid.

Oh and did I mention I have the world's best father. If you anyone knew everything he has done for myself and the siblings you would say wow. Anything I ask my dad he some how gets er done. Who do I call at 2 in the morning from the side of the freeway? Dad. Or after the car breaks down when Flying J fills my tank with water? Dad. When Amanda doesn't want to fly? Dad. Worlds Best Dad.
