our 11th anniversary

Jeff and I just celebrated our 11th anniversary on Wednesday. It does not seem like that long. We have 3.8 great kids. We have had a lot of fun along the way. Many memories have been made. I am so glad that I married such a great person. Thanks Jeff for all the good times and bad along the way. I would not trade it for anything. You are such a wonderful husband and father. I love you very much and look forward to many more years together.

joeys 1st day of kindergarten

Joey started kindergarten this year. He was so excited! I cant believe i have two in school already. He has Mrs Waite for a teacher which is who Nathan had as well so that made the transition easier for him with his stranger anxiety. He is loving homework and usually finishes the whole week packet in one sitting. too bad as they get older that does not last. but he is doing wonderfully in school. I am so proud of him.

Daniels 4th bday

So Daniel did actually make it to his 4th bday even though he is a pill most of the time. I do love him dearly and he still likes to hug me when he is not being a pill. I am glad that he goes to preschool two days a week. it gives him time away from mom so the transition when sister gets here wont be so hard on him. Jeff also took him to the trout farm here in Ogden and he had a blast. this is Daniels kind of fishing since sitting still is not his finer point. the other two boys got to join them to catch one fish. so all in all they really liked the trout farm. Nathan reminded us that it was just practice fishing though. :)

24th of July weekend

So we spent a fun filled 24th of july weekend this year. it started at 700am at Jeffs 10k race in salt lake then onto the parade then a funfilled day of painting and more painting. Thanks to Lynn Tawnia and Mom for all of their hard work on the project. thanks to Jeff for pitching in where he could also. It turned out really nice. The kids were entertained outside playing in the water on the slip and slide so that kept them out of our hair for awhile. so it was a busy and tiring weekend but we got a lot done.

Tball 2009

i am fianlly get caught up on posting on my blog. so this is Nathan and Joeys tball from June. they had a great time playing and cant wait to start again.

Finally....A Girl!!

W got great news today from our OB ultrasound. We are finally adding a little girl to the mix of three boys. I am so excited. I am not sure that it has fully sunk in yet, but i am thrilled. Joey seems to be ok with the thought of having a sister, nathan is still pretty neutral and daniel does not really care. So it was good to take them with us to see the pics of the baby. So thanks for all the pink vibes that you all sent our way.

Flaming Gorge 2009

We spent a fun 4th of July weekend with my family at Flaming Gorge. It was fun having everyone there. For the most part the weather cooperated. We got clouds and rain in teh afternoons but it mostly cleared up after that. My dad brought up the waverunners and their dirtbikes. Brett and my Uncle Glenn brought up their dirt bikes as well. So there was plenty of things to do. The boys were thrilled that Casey Jessie and Jake my cousins came up as well. All of my siblings were there so we actually took a family picture. It was fun having all of the Cobbley cousins together for the first time. They sure had fun playing together. Other than having a freak hail storm Sunday afternoon with dime to quarter size hail and all of us huddling under pop up canopies at the beach(what fun!) and Joey standing in fire ants and getting bite 5 times( he has not had much luck this summer with insects). It was a pretty successful and fun weekend. Thanks everybody for coming! :)

Ogden half marathon and kids K

Jeff ran in his first half marathon on saturday!(13.2 miles) He did so good. He started at Eden Park and came down Ogden canyon down the parkway to finish at Grant Ave. and 25th street. He made it in 2 hrs and 39 min. For his first half that is an awesome time. I am so proud of him and all of his hard work training for it. Way to go! Keep it up for the next races!!!! Nathan and joey got to do a kids K(.6 miles) with their cousin Marti as well. I was going to run with them but am not feeling so good still. So my dad offered to run in my place. Nathan and my dad finished in 5 min 40 secs. awesome time!!!! Joey started with Marti and Auntie Tawnia but wanted to go faster so he ran it alone, which is why I have no pic of him running. We did not see him until he passed us. He did so good. He finished between 11 and 12 min. Tawnia and Marti were just behind that. Marti ran the entire time. so for her first race she did great. I did not get very good pics since my camera died. so i will have to go onto Tawnias blog to get some other pics. Way to go all of you runners!

Butlers house 2009

more pics of our trip to Cali. We got a chance to stay with Eliisa and Jer and the girls. The boys really enjoyed seeing them. It was nice to have some time to relax and just hang out with them. Thanks for letting us crash at your place!!!
