Had To Share

Alan and Dallas are planning to go up to Lakeside to do some work on the cabin this weekend along with some varmint calling. So when Coco heard this she kept saying I really need to come up too. Yesterday afternoon I receive this picture with a text message saying “I will be sad if you don’t come up”. Talk about melting my heart. He is even sweeter in person. I love the little guy.
It was so good to spend time with them. Just wish they lived down here. I guess I will keep praying. Hugs, Bobbi Jo

My Front Toof

Gabby 7 has had a tooth that has been loose but, not enough to pull it out. She didn't want anyone else to pull it out she wanted to do it all by herself. This afternoon she got it out all by herself. She was so proud. I think it is just for the money.Hugs, Bobbi Jo

The Weekend & FHE

This is a picture of my Mom and Talmage
On Friday Coco, Kyle and Talmage came down to stay with us.
Saturday Coco, Faith, Gabby and I went to Michaels to get some fun craft items to work on then to The Scrapbook Studio in Queen Creek. We had fun! After we got home Coco, Kyle and I went to MiAmigos for lunch. Alan and Dallas went hunting with some friends.
On Sunday after church we went to visit with Grandparents. None of them have seen Talmage so this was fun to watch them with their new great grandson. We had good visits at both houses and it was good to see our parents.
On Monday night we had a great dinner for Alan’s Grilled chicken and ate in the living room while we watched “Spice World”. I think that Alan and Kyle thought we were nuts. Gabby and I were standing up dancing and singing with some of the songs. For desert we had ice cream sundaes. They were yummy!
Today the little Lucas family are leaving to go to Flagstaff to see Kyle‘s father then back to Pinetop. If you could keep in your prayers Kyle’s father his name is Dave. He is having some problems with an infection in his leg that they were suppose to operate on but couldn’t due to this. I would appreciate it as I am sure he would too.
Talk to you soon. Hugs, Bobbi Jo

New Beginnings

Since E'lyse will be a going into YW this year last night was New Beginnings. It was a wonderful night. Our Bishop gave a wonderful talk and the YW President is soggier than I am. There are 15 girls going into YW this year. E'lyse is the first one of the year. In the picture she is the 5 on the top row. I am very excited for her; she is going to have a blast. Hugs, Bobbi Jo

1st Game

Dallas had his first baseball game for Queen Creek High school. He didn’t get to start due to skipping practice Monday but after 2 innings was brought in. He played 3rd base. He had a pop fly past third and a strike. Not great hitting but played great at the base. This picture was taken before school. The players have to dress up on game day.
Queen Creek won the game agains Paradise Valley 10-5. Way to go Bulldogs!

Cute Little Guy & Weekend Happenings

Over the weekend our family, all but Dallas, went up to Pinetop to visit with Coco and Kyle. We celebrated Faiths Birthday on Saturday and on Sunday Kyle received the Melchizedek Priesthood. We are very happy for him.
We took over the living room floor of their home. Forcing the guys to watch “Hairspray”, love that movie. We had a good time visiting with them and getting to see Talmage and all the changes in just a week of not being around him. I got to watch him roll over several times. Little stinker! I love the picture of Alan holding Talmage. Alan is just a big soggy teddy bear. Thank you Coco for letting us stay with you. We love you! Hugs, Bobbi Jo

Faith is 9

On Saturday Faith turned 9. I can’t believe it has been a year since her Baptism. It has been a fun year with Faith. She is here holding her Miley doll that she got for her Birthday.

7. She sings beautifully.
8. Faith has a great eye for decorating.
9. Faith often puts others before herself.

Love you Miss Faith.

Valentines Day!

Good morning! Hope everyone got to spend some time with there sweet hearts yesterday. Alan and I went out to dinner. Me trying to be frugal heard that Coco's (not our daughter) he he was having Prime Rib for a great price as their Valentines Day special. So we went there otherwise it would have been Mexican food (my favorite Mi Amigos). We get sat down and they are out of Prime Rib. BUMMER! So we got steak and lobster. I haven't had lobster since I was in Alaska. It was really good. Then after dinner I had coupons for Cold Stone Creamery. OKAY pay attention here if you have a Cold Stone near you grab your money and go there. I had the very best ice-cream in my life. It is chocolate made with Ghirardelli chocolate! OH MY GOSH!!! It was Heaven in a cup. YUMMO!!!!
One more thing I want to become a spice girl so I have to have a catchy name right? I have picked out two names and I want your opinion on which one I should be. The first is Scrappy Spice (due to I love scrap booking) but, this reminds me of Scooby Doos nephew. Not sure about that. The second one is Crafty Spice. I like it but not sure about that one either. Let me know what you think. Hugs, Bobbi Jo
