Lila's two year old pictures

My Daddy's 75th birthday

Last night was my Daddy's 75th birthday! Gee, when did we all get so old?! We had dinner together at the house and the kids had a great time jumping on the trampoline and playing together. After dinner we had cake and ice cream and then sat down to watch Dad open his presents. We each got a special gift from Dad, too. It's a book he titled " 75 years and Counting. Life Experiences of Robert John Woodford". It's 171 pages long and it's got everything about his life! He wrote several short essays about different subjects. To give you an idea, I'll put all the chapter headings. Narda, Family, The Church, Early Recollections, Church Service, Mission, College Education, Teaching, Wilderness, Awful Happenings, Wierd Happenings, Miracles, Interesting People, Civil Air Patrol, Joseph Smith Papers Project, Wild Wicked and Sinful Things, Lessons Learned, Sermons Preached, Wonderful Sayings, Chronology, Patriarchal Blessing, Priesthood Line of Authority, Certificates, Publications, Partial Genealogy (WITH PICTURES in many cases) , My Testimony. At the very end in a portion that is taped shut and he's asked us that we not open that part until after his death. I know that it's taken him about 30 years to fully put this book together. He's included many pictures throughout the book and lots of really interesting stories about his life. I love you Daddy! Thank you for being such a wonderful Father and being my personal hero.

I've got to tell a little story about this picture. This silly plastic Rat has been a long standing inside joke in our family. While I was a teenager, I would find this Rat in the funniest places..... next to the cups when I opened the cupbord, in my backpack at school, on my pillow when I went to bed. It originated from my Dad and when you found the Rat, it was your job to hide it in a new spot for someone else to find! Well, the poor Rat was lost about 10 yrs ago and so Angela sent my Dad a new one, just for his birthday!

Lila's 2nd Birthday!

I can not believe my baby is two! Lila is such a sweet little girl. She talks REALLY well for a two yr old and her voice is so cute. She is always telling us that she loves us and I just LOVE her little voice! For her birthday we had a little get together with some kids in our neighborhood. We had Montana, Arianna, Jaiden, and Conner. We ate pizza, opened presents, and had some cake! Happy Birthday, sweet girl!

For presents she got a new baby bed, a play kitchen, some new clothes, a hair set for her dolls, and a coloring book!

Make a wish, Honey!

Isaak's first day of preschool!

Here's Isaak on his first day in his new Kinder Cottage T shirt! He has been talking about this for months now, I can't believe it's already here!

Here's Isaak and Miss Cameon!

Getting ready to go inside!

Didn't even look back. I stood around for a minute, not quite sure what to do with myself. I miss my boy already!

Labor Day weekend cabin

We went up to the cabin this weekend! It was a great, relaxing weekend. On Saturday Grandpa Ric and Grandma Jo came up to visit and we had some dinner together. We went for a walk on some roads by the cabin and had a little fire. On Sunday we went to Silver Lake. Other than that we relaxed, ate, watched movies and played video games! It definitely ended too soon. Here's some my my favorite pictures from our mini vacation!

One funny story about this weekend, as I was opening the gate I saw a badger walking toward me! Totally shocked me and I about closed the gate and jumped back in the car, but he was more scared of me and ran off. I didn't know those were up there!
