Savannah & Austin's Wedding

Another big reason we were able to go home last month is for Savannah and Austin's wedding. Savannah looked so pretty and the reception was so awesome. I love this picture!

Her shoes were pretty rad.

Jacoby looked so handsome in the vest and tie Debie made for him.

Savannah wasn't very thrilled about having her reception at a church, but man it looked great. They did such a great job decorating it that it was easy to forget we were at a church.

The cake was so pretty!

We were so happy to be able to be there for the wedding. Tyler was only in Idaho for about 30 hours, but I'm just glad he could be there. We are really happy to have Austin in the family and are so excited for them!

I love my little boy

Some days scrapbooking really helps me to feel better. Today I'm feeling extra grateful for my little Jacoby. He is such a good boy, handsome, and so fun to be around. I'm so grateful to be his mom or his Missy, as he likes to call me. I love these pictures of Jacoby and Tyler's dad taken during Thanksgiving. Terry is so sweet with Jacoby and I love how he calls him "little man."

Visitors

I have been slacking on the blog posts, but here's a little update.
Just a cute picture of Jacoby yesterday after we cleaned the church. He was a good boy while we were cleaning and just followed Tyler around while he emptied all the garbages and me while I vacuumed. He brought his big train toy and pushed it all over the place. He was thirsty and so we got a drink for us to share. He wasn't very interested in sharing though. Tyler's family came to visit this past weekend and we had a great time. They are so good to us and do so many nice, thoughtful things for us and we really appreciate it. When they first got here, Savannah surprised me with a little box containing TWO Cocoa Bean cupcakes. I pretty much love her. We shopped a lot and found a really great mall, went swimming, ate a lot, and went to a Diamondbacks baseball game. We know it's a long drive from Idaho, but we're so glad they came to see us. It's so fun having visitors.
Savannah and Taylor stayed with us and took turns sleeping in the trundle next to Jacoby's bed. I thought they were pretty sweet and had to get a picture.

At the baseball game, Jacoby liked to climb up on this baseball and jump off. Sometimes he is too brave.

These next few pictures have some really scary red eyes I can't get rid of, but other than that, it's a great shot of the family.

On the way to the game we were driving on a road called Thomas, so I wanted a picture. I would've liked to get out and get in the picture, but we were at a stop light. By the way, Thomas is doing really well and working harder than ever. It makes the time go by so much faster knowing that he is so happy where he is. He is a great example to me and I love and miss him so much.

Thank you everyone for the kind birthday wishes on my birthday last week. It's nice to know that I haven't been forgotten about even if we moved so far away. My family made it a wonderful day even from afar. I was able to Skype with my mom and sisters, talk to my friends, grandmas, aunts, dad, sisters, and so many others. It really means a lot and I love ya all! Jacoby and I went shopping for a little while and got some ice cream. Later I went to Famous Dave's with Tyler while my wonderful friend Brooke watched Jacoby. (It's been great to have a friend down here in Arizona that I already know.) The food there was great!

I received so many nice gifts on my birthday: orange plates, clothes, jewelry, cake plate, sprinkles holder, frosting tips, money, gift cards, movie, decorations, and chairs for our table. Thank you everyone. :)

I love this holder that Steph gave me. She also gave me an awesome set of frosting tips I've had on my wish list for a long time. Now I can make pretty cupcakes, but definitely won't be as awesome as her cupcakes.

I'm in love with this cake plate. Becca knows me so well because this has my name written all over it. Can't wait to use it. It'll be fun to switch out the ribbon for different holidays or parties.

Spending my birthday with one of my favorite people. Love ya, bud!

reunion fun

We had a jam-packed week and it was great. These pictures are out of order, so they're starting with the most recent...oh well.

My handsome little boy. I love this outfit! Steph and I took Eden and Jacoby to the park and they were nice enough to let me take a few pictures of their darling faces.
Jacoby is going to miss all his cousins when he moves away.

I planned a little reunion with my family last weekend and it was so fun to spend time with them. Becca's family is getting ready to move and my family will be moving in a month. I love my family. We are so close. it's going to be terribly hard to be away from them. Anyway, the weather wasn't very nice on Saturday so we just went swimming at the Aquatic Center and came back to my parent's for dinner and a sleepover. After church the next day we had lunch and spent the afternoon playing croquet(my favorite sport. Ha ha.), volleyball, and crying as we said good bye to Becca's family. I hate when people leave, first Thomas, Becca's family, and now my family soon. I don't know how people do this, we have been so spoiled thus far, but we will make the best out of it; that's what my mom keeps saying, but she's also the most optimistic person around.

I love you girlies+Annie+Mom.

We also had a family reunion with Tyler's extended family at Lagoon. It's always fun to see everyone there. It was super, super cold this year, but we still had fun. I'm glad I packed Jacoby's coat though. Jacoby didn't like the rides one little bit, even the ones we could ride with him. He was crying pretty hard, so we only made him go on a few. :) Maybe in another year.

He was content until the ride started. :)

Mint Oreos, they will make your whole day better. Recipe 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.

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. :)
