Jazz Game

My dad is pretty much the coolest dad I know and got me, my sisters, and our husbands tickets to the Jazz vs. Celtics game. I'd never been to a Jazz game, but I have been to a Starz game. Ha ha. Anyways, I felt like I was really missing out, so I complained/teased a little.

My parents watch all the kids for us and it was wonderful. I was a little afraid to leave Jacoby because he had just gotten his stitches a few days before and I was super paranoid, but supposedly they did great.

We had such a fun time together; I love my sisters and their husbands. I'm so sad that Becca and I are both going to be moving away soon, so we better have lots of fun before that happens.

It was a really good game and the Jazz ended up winning by quite a bit. I feel very special to be able to say that I've been to an NBA game instead of just a WNBA game. :)

We did a little shopping at Gateway and went to one of my favorite places to eat, Crown Burger.

Thanks, mom and dad, we had the greatest time!

Toys R Us Sale: Movies & Books

Toys R Us is having a great sale today and tomorrow. I was most excited about all DVDs and books being buy one get one free. I thought these would both be perfect for Jacoby's Easter basket. My mom, Steph and I met there and paired movies and books together because I only wanted one book and one movie, and I ended up getting The Princess and the Frog and a set of books(including a ball book that Jacoby will love) for $10. I used the coupon below for the movie too, so that's why it was such a steal. I just wanted to let you guys know because I was so excited!

You're not going to believe this...more stitches


The journaling on this page tells the whole story, so just click on it. It was another very sad day and I'm debating on whether to have more children after all the tumbles Jacoby has been taking. The cut was so deep and it really scared us. Poor guy!


When he had his first stitches I did another scrapbook page and this one above will go alongside it. The other one says, "bonk on the head," so this one finishes it with "times two."

Wall Hangings and House for Sale

Awhile back Steph posted her wall hanging on her blog, and my dad just finished putting mine together, so I wanted to post some pictures of it. It's not hung up because we can't hang up anything in this house we're living in because the house is for sale. Dangit, I miss my decorations. :)
They were really fun to do and pretty inexpensive. Steph, my mom, and I all did one and they are all so different, but I really loved them all. Leave it to my mom to come up with great decorations that noone else will have; she is so talented at decorating. My parents were so nice to get a lot of the supplies and put them together for us.
The picture below is Steph's and the next one is mine. I will have to have my mom send me a picture of of the one she did which is awesome.
I will hang it up in our family room which is decorated in red and robin egg blue.

Becca and Lonnie are getting ready to move away for Lonnie's rotations and they are selling their townhouse they lived in while they were in school. It's a great place, very well kept, good location, and a perfect starter home. It's close the the I.S.U. campus and many shopping areas. If you know anyone living or moving in Pocatello, they could get a great deal on this place. Check out her house blog if you are interested right here!

Basketball State

We were able to go to state last week to watch Taylor's team play. I have always loved going to Boise for basketball, and even though it's still sometimes hard to sit on the Hillcrest side, it was a lot of fun to watch them play. :) They had a great team this year and it's been so exciting to watch them play this season.
At the first game they played Skyview and won by six, the second game they played Twin Falls and lost by four, and the third game they played Bishop Kelly and won by like fifteen. They ended up taking third!
Of couse they all were all very intense games, and man I love a close basketball game.
The whole Roe fam after the last game.
Jacoby loved swimming at the pool and playing with Jaime's beach ball.
Taylor and Jacoby after a game.
Debie and I took Jacoby to Pojos. He had lots of fun!
Jacoby loves his new shirt with the basketball on it and is constantly pointing to it.

Very blurry pictures, but I had to show off my cute brother-in-law warming up!

The weather was great over there; going to Boise for basketball state always makes me realize that spring really is coming soon.
It was really nice to spend time with Tyler's family, too.
We loved watching Taylor's team play, and will really miss watching him next year during his senior year. Hopefully we will be able to catch a game during the holidays because we will definitely be missing it. :)

Jacoby's Flip Book

After I did that scrapbooking layout of Jacoby's outfits my mother-in-law told me about a flip book that a lady in their ward had done for one of her kids, so I decided that sounded like a fun idea. I've been working on it for quite awhile, and it's not one of those projects you can hurry and do in a day because I had to take pictures of Jacoby's different outfits. I guess we could've played dress-up, but that didn't sound fun for either of us. :)
I'm pretty excited about how it turned out, except when I had it laminated it turned out a little bumpy and the pages were a little uneven after having it bound, but Jacoby doesn't care. I gave it to him on the way home and he seemed pretty excited.
These are just a few of the pages, but I had nine pages total. The picture below is the front cover and the last one is the back cover. My mom gave me the cute idea for the front and back covers. I love finding little crafts to do, and this was really fun. I cut each picture between the pants and shirt and that way it can be like a puzzle to match the right pants and shirt.
Also, it's fun to flip the shirts and pants so they don't match. This is a basketball outfit with his swimming suit. I included two pages in the book with basketballs because he loves them so much.

My Favorite Breakfast

My mom first started making a copycat recipe to the McDonald's fruit parfaits and I've been hooked ever since. It's a healthy, filling, and yummy breakfast. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
