Dodgers Game

Robert and his cousin Karla organized a massive party to go to the Dodgers game. In fact, more than 40 family members attending the game with a few family friends. Can you imagine how crazy it was to get everyone in the cars and ready to go to the game? We had a great time though.
Robert and I with his aunt Loriel and her boyfriend Mario along with a family friend. While we were in LA for this trip, Loriel and Mario were nice enough to give us a place to sleep. We are very thankful for that.

Trip to Yuma

After moving to Junction City, we decided to take a trip back to my parent's house - here are some of those pictures. Above you will notice Robert shooting a rifle. This was one of the highlights for him and also one of the things he was most excited about. Now he wants to buy his own gun and take it hunting with dad for deer this October.

Dad took us both out to the desert in his new jeep (see it in the background?) and we also took the dogs out to run. It was fun.

My sister, Kate, and I. We look very similar. No confusing us as sisters. She has been doing so well in school she has taken pride, in fact, in being able to say that she is getting better grades that I ever did. Keep it up Kate.

Our Trip to Utah

In March Robert and I decided to take a road trip to see Cheryl, Robert's sister who lives in Utah with her husband. While we were there, we had fun exploring, shopping, and going four-wheeling at Josh's dad's house. Here are some of those pictures.

Rock Band Party

Robert invited some friends over for a Rock Band Party, and if you've never played this game you don't know how addicting it can be. These guys played until way past midnight, singing and playing.

Jesse James

This is the house where Jesse James got shot. He lived here for several years - in St. Joseph. Robert and I went to visit this landmark and had a fun time learning about the history. Can you see the bullet hole in the wall where the bullet passed through on the bottom picture?

Winter at Shawnee Mission Park in KC,KS

Robert knows he's hot - just look at him show it off.


When Robert's parents were here visiting, we went to the Shawnee Mission Park not too far from our house, and these are the wonderful views we saw. Christmas in Kansas City is very pretty and the funny thing is that even though there was snow on the ground, it really wasn't that cold.

Winter Wonderland

When we woke up the morning after the ice storm, this is what we found outside our door. Isn't the tree beautiful? Even though the storm was horrible, nature left behind something beautiful!

Decorating the Tree

We got our tree December 1st, and we set it up the next day. I love the smell of the tree. Andy came over and helped us out!

Us!

Around Thanksgiving time, with the leaves changes, we went outside on our balcony to enjoy the view.

Hair Cut

Time to cut Andy's hair.... bye bye curls!

Pumpkins

As is customary in our house, we carve pumpkins for Halloween. This ones is my pumpkin.... And this is Robert's... and he's even acting it out for you!

Hottie

All that has to be said is "HOTTIE", and he's all mine!!!

Raider's Game

It's a funny thing, after Robert had surprised me with Garth tickets, he couldn't have imagined that I already had tickets to go to the Oakland Raiders vs. KC Chiefs game. He was so excited.And, to make it that much sweeter, the RAIDERS WON!!!

Garth Brooks Concert

After a VERY long and HARD day in the ICU, my wonderful husband surprised me with a ticket to go see Garth Brooks in concert! It was totally awesome!1 man, 9 shows, and I went to one of them! It was amazing and I sure sang the entire time!

Vaydas

After not seeing each other for almost 10 years, we were able to see the Vayda family. It's great knowing that they are so close. How did everyone grow up so fast?

Robert Being a Great Uncle

These are pictures of our nephew - Jared. Robert had a great time playing around with him and especially giving him a bath in the sink. Look at the smile on Robert's face.

Pebble Beach

What trip could be final without a trip to Pebble Beach? It was so wonderful. Plus, Robert got to use this new gift from my parent's - BINOCULARS!

Pacific Coast Hwy

We drove up the Pacific Coast Hwy to reach Robert's brother's house (Jeff). Here are some pictures of our trip on the way.

Herst Castle

Any long time fan of the movie "NEWSIES" knows who William Randolf Herst was. It was so fun to go see his castle. It was amazing. This is a picture from the indoor swimming pool.Outside in the garden.
The outdoor swimming pool. I would love something like this. I guess all you can do is dream.
The castle.

Disneyland

One of the days, Robert and I went to Disneyland. We had a great time. We loved returning to a place that held so many memories of our honeymoon.And we truly are living "happily ever after".
All Robert wanted was a sucker!
Smile crazy hair girl.

Dodgers Game

While in California, we of course had to visit Dodger Stadium. So, Robert and I treated the group to tickets. See that wall behind us? Thats the very top of the stadium, we couldn't get any further up. But, the good thing is that no matter where you are in Dodger Stadium, it's a great view - plus a good game!
