Road Trip Home :)

Just Thought I would share a few pictures from our trip home from Idaho!

So anyone who knows my little Jakey knows he LOVES Star Wars, which makes his Daddy so very happy being that he LOVES Star Wars as well!!He is always saying "I am a Star Wars fan"!! Grandma Lehne bought him this Clone Trooper Helmet for his birthday and he opened it right before we left her house. Needless to say he loved it and wore it most of the way home. It has a speaker that changes his voice and every time he spoke to us it was through the speaker... SO FUNNY!! The second one is of Aiden all smiles laughing at Jakob in the helmet!!

Here are a few from breakfast! Jake insisted that I take a picture of his pancakes before he ate them! The other is of Aiden and Bobby, and I think it is really cute!

This last one is us at Hoover Dam. The boys were restless so we stopped and let them check it out! They thought it was really neat, so next time we may take the whole tour! Aiden just kept saying WOOWWW... BIGGGG!!

Happy Birthday Bobby!!

Today is Bobby's 27th Bday! Old Man!! I thought I would share with you all how really lucky I am!

Bobby works ALOT! By alot I mean six days a week, sometimes seven! He does this so that I can be home with the boys, so that Jakob can go to pre-school, so I can go to California as often as I do, so that we can live in our home.. and for so many other selfless reasons. He does this week after week without complaint! You may think that we never see eachother, but he ALWAYS makes time for us... ALWAYS! He reads stories to the boys at bedtime, builds them awesome train tracks, makes them happy when they are sad, he is an awesome Daddy! He lets me be me, and he loves me! He encourges me in anything I do, he calms me when I am stressed, he watches the boys so I can get away, he is silly with me when I need that, and my rock when I am losing it! He does sweet little things, and listens when I talk.. I could go on and on! I have two beautiful sons, I am home with them everyday, I have a nice home, and a comfortable life, and I owe every bit of that to my AMAZING Husband!

Idaho :)

We took a trip to Idaho a couple weeks back to visit Bobby's side of the family! The drive was LONG, but worth it! The boys has SO much fun playing with all their cousins, the weather was BEAUTIFUL, and it was all around a great trip!

Here is Princess Zoee at her 1st Birthday Party!!

Sushi Supper!!

So as many of you know Bobby and I LOVE sushi! Way back when we still lived in California we bought a sushi making kit, and for the last 4 or so years since we bought it Bobby has been asking when I was going to learn to use it! While visiting Bob's family in Idaho I was fortunate to get a mini lesson from my Sister in Law Stacee. Tonight was my first go at it, and I was pleasantly surprised at how good it turned out. I need to buy a deep fryer and a REALLY sharp knife, but other then that it was really good!! Bobby was so cute.. he stood in the kitchen and watched me the whole time... he was really excited! He often does that, when I am sewing or doing some craft he will watch and ask questions, it is really nice that he is always so interested in what I am doing!! Well, he LOVED the meal... I am pretty positive it will become a regular meal at our house!

Of course no Sushi meal is complete without Edamame, Saparo Beer for Bob and Green Tea for me! (Sorry it is a little blurry!)

Here is a close up of some of the sushi... California Rolls and Spicy Tuna!!

Our Boys always love sushi... we usually only eat imitation crab, tuna and shrimp at home,so they can dig right in with us! They still have the trainer on their chop sticks, but they do very well with them:

I wanted to do something fun for Jakob and Aiden and I came across this idea for Twinkie Sushi! You cut twinkies into slices, wrap each slice in a fruit by the foot, and stick a gummy bear in the cream! They look like sushi and they were actually really good!! SO CUTE!
