Valentines Day

For Valentines this year, I decided to do a candlelight dinner with all of us. It was so much fun. The kids had a fun time. I made mashed potatoes gravy, steaks, popcorn and coconut shrimp, salad, and cheese bisquits like Red Lobsters. It was YUMMY! Maycie and Tanner really didn't like eating dinner in the dark and kepted turning the lights back on, but it was still a lot of fun. Joe surprised me with a NEW STOVE...Stainless Steel. I was really shocked and felt guilty about him spending that much on me, since we have been planning a family vacation. He convinced me that it's ok and not to worry about it. I LOVE IT! Thanks honey! For Joe, he got some Sushi, and some new basketball shorts to workout in. It was a great Valentines Day

Christmas 2010

Christmas time is a fun, stressful, memorable time of year. It seems like you work so hard getting ready...putting up lights, tree, shopping, family get togethers, etc. that it's hard to just sit and relax. The kids are so excited for Santa to come and make "several" lists to him checking it over, that they don't remember what Christmas is all about. Christmas is about "giving" not "getting"! Christmas is to reflect upon the birth of our Savior. I had to remind the kids about that and not to be dissapointed if they didn't get everything on their list and from Santa. It stinks Christmas time comes and goes so quickly, but the memories you make...will last a lifetime

Hunter in Flag Football

Hunter started flag football and loves it. His team is the LIONS! Even though they came up short with a "W"...he still enjoys playing the game. Over the season, Hunter scored around 6 touchtowns and a couple of two point conversions. Yeah...he's learning all the football termanology with mom and dad "sports lovers"! The Lions won 2 games and tied 1 and lost 5. It was great to cheer from the sideline and see Hunter play offense and defense. Coach Bagnall did a great job with the boys and allowed every boy to play different positions. Great season Hunter!

I'm a slacker!!!

K...I am just looking at my blog...it's been almost 2 months since my last post. That is terrible. Here I wanted to get into blogging, not working, and still can't keep up with things. Maybe that's because I am a mom of 6 kids. I love the dearly...they just wear me out! I told myself...I need to do better. So here it goes with Stubbs events! :)

Halloween

Halloween is finally here. Kyler decided to be a LEGO guy, Connor a soccer player, Hunter a football player, Carter Buzz, Maycie Jessie (Toy Story), and Tanner a bee. I always dread October coming just because...it's the month of Halloween. My kids don't eat a lot of sweets so I just want to get rid of the candy as fast as I can. Our ward had the annual Halloween carnival and trunk or treat at the church. We went to a few other houses and over to grandma and grandpas. The kids were all exhausted after that.

Kyler's LEGO party!

Yep...Ky is officially 11! I can't believe my oldest is eleven. He wanted to have a LEGO party. He invited Ben, Brett, Ethan, and Drake(who couldn't make it). It was a lot of fun. We had a quiz to see how much the boys know about LEGOS. Ben won that quiz. We had a building contest...Brett won! They then blew up a yellow balloon and with marker drew their own "mini fig" The cake wasn't really what I wanted, but it was ok. Kyler got some new lego sets & lego game from mom and dad, art set from Ben, Lego set from Ethan and Brett. We ate pizza and took the boys home. It was a lot of fun! HAPPY BIRTHDAY KY

100 years of scouting celebration

Today is the 100 year celebration of scouting. It started at 3:00 and over around 9:00. It's for all scouts not just Cubs. Over 3,000 Cub Scouts registered for this event. They held it over at the fairgrounds. It was fun especially for the cubs, just way HOT! Some of the events they had for the rotations were orienteering, tribruchet, shields, fencing, swords, and they had sack lunches for dinner. I lefted early with my 3 boys after the BATTLE! Connor wanted to go to the final night of the rodeo, so all we missed was the closing ceremony.

100 years of scouting celebration

Today is the 100 year celebration of scouting. They are having a HUGE day camp for all scouts out at the fairgrounds. It started at 3:00. There was over 3,000 cub scouts registered for this big event. The rotations included...orienteering, fencing, swords, shields, tribuchet, and having dinner. The boys had a lot of fun but it was HOT! I lefted with my three and two other scouts so Connor could see the final night of the rodeo. All we missed was the closing ceremony with fireworks.

Rodeo Night #2

Well it's Friday night...out at the Rodeo! Connor and I are at the rodeo for the second night. The rodeo was great. Connor was hoping to see more PBR Bull Riders, but none he knew. Guess we had our luck last night. It was still fun to see him enjoy every minute of it. Besides bull riding, Connor loves to watch the team roping. Connor would be a very good "header" but needs a horse to even start that dream. I love to say the word "rodeo" to Connor...he gets so excited and heart just races.

It's Rodeo Time

Today is the first day of the 76th Dixie Roundup Rodeo! Kids night FREE with adult Connor is estastic. Connor, Maycie, Ky and I went early to save seats. Joe and the 3 others came later. The rodeo was awesome. Connor found out from the program, two TOP bull riders were riding tonite....Steve Woolsey and Wesley Silcox. They are like #2 and #4 in the world standing right now. We were so EXCITED. Right before the bull riding started we went over behind the shoots to get some pics. After the rodeo was over, we went down on the side and I asked Steve and Wesley if they would sign Connor's hat and have a pic with him. Connor was blown away with excitement. I asked Steve if they have a website to get memorbila and he said no...he reached down in his bag and gave Connor one of his gloves with his signature. Connor was grinning from ear to ear. Dad was so proud of him and made the rodeo worth every penny.

RIP Oscar

Waking up this morning to find Oscar wasn't the funnest thing. Oscar, is Ky's Beta fish. We have loved having him as our pet. He doesn't bark, meow...just quiet. His head was stuck underneath a plant in his aquarium. I felt so bad. Ky was already at school when I found him. Flushing him down the toilet was really hard, but I knew I had to before Ky got home from school. Ky's birthday is coming up...and I guarantee he will ask for another Beta. They are a really pretty fish. RIP Oscar!!! :(

Brave Boy Connor!

Connor's day has come to go to the dentist and have his teeth work done! We have tried and tried several times to get Connor to settle down long enough for the dentist to do the work. Dr. Starr told Joe that he didn't think he could work on Connor due to anxiety. So, Dr. Starr called Dr. Christensen, Connor's pediatric dentist, to see what to do. Dr. Christensen has given Connor the drink to help his fear, but he didn't think Dr. Starr needed to go that far. One thing was...Dr Starr's office just took Connor back by himself and that caused problems. Joe needs to be right there with Connor. So, that helped a ton! Connor cried for a minute, but was able sit in the seat and have Dr. Starr work on the biggest tooth. It took him nearly 2 hours just to do the one tooth. It was amazing for Joe to see everything the Dr. was doing and be so precise about it. We were very pleased. Next week he will do hopefully the other two. After waiting over an hour in the waiting room...Connor did a wonderful job and earned a reward. His dad took him to Sportman's and bought him a new arrow! Connor was estastic. Thanks for being such a brave boy Connor! We love you!

Trip to the dentist

Today is Carter, Maycie and Tanner's trip to the dentist. They did really well. Carter went back and layed still while cleaning his teeth. Maycie on the other hand...didn't do well. She allowed them to take pics but refused to have her teeth cleaned. So to held her hands while the Dr. checked her out and did all the cleaning. She fought and cried through the whole thing. Tanner layed on my lap to get checked. The best part of the morning at the dentist...cavity free! Tanner's front tooth has a cavity for about 6 months now, but the Dr. is just going to keep an eye on it. It's not getting any bigger...so that's a good sign. Now to the bribery...going to Jumpin Jacks! Should be fun.

Hunter turns 8

Hunter is now 8! I officially have two 8 year olds for exactly one month. He is so excited. Hunter wanted to go fishing for his birthday. He invited his cousins Daniel and Easton to come. Before leaving to go fishing, I saw this thing on facebook for the Rec Center. If you texted a word to the Rec Center, you could swim for $1. Joe and I decided to take the kids over to swim first. They all had a blast. After about two hours, Joe went to get pizza. They were all starving. We ran Hunter, Easton, and Connor up to the Razor Ridge to fish for a while. Daniel ended up not coming to the party. Hunter was pretty bummed. They came back and slepted in the two man tent outside. What a fun birthday. Hunter got 2 air soft guns, ammo, and $$$$. He loved it.

Cub Scouts

We had Cub Scout Pack Meeting last night. Ky has worked really hard on earning belt loops. With me as the Wolf Den Leader, I have tried to do at least one belt loop a month so my Wolves receive an award at pack meeting. Kyler does the belt loops with us so he can earn them too. For about 3 months now, he has been working hard and last night he received 8 beltloops and some pins. I am so proud of him that he enjoys scouts and working hard. He received Science belt loop and pin, Communications belt loop, Physical Fitness belt loop and pin, Heritage belt loop, Collecting belt loop,Pet Care belt loop and pin, Weather belt loop, and Mathmatics belt loop. Connor also received the Heritage belt loop. Way to go boys!

Romberger Family Reunion

It's now time for the annual Romberger family reunion for the 24th of July weekend. All my dad's brothers and sisters and family were there. It was great to see everyone after two years. We had had great time with horseshoe tournaments, playing cards, taking naps, fishing, riding 4 wheelers, and EATING. I don't think you could ever starve being at our reunion. So many memories to remember after this reunion and hope there will be several more to come. Can't wait for two more years to roll around for the next one.

Carter's birthday celebration @ Red Robin

It's time for our annual trip to Red Robin for FREE kids meal on the kids birthday. Carter got his chance with his mom and dad! The kids look forward for their birthday to come around...to eat at Red Robin. They have smiling faces and get so shy when the waitresses to and sing with balloons and a sundae. What fun memories!

My camera is FIXED

Well, after about 3 1/2 months of fearing my camera was pot, it is FINALLY fixed. Thanks to my sweet nephew, Josh, he found out the problem. He went on the Canon website and was able to download an update that stated the exact things happening to my camera. What a MIRACLE! I wanted to cry. I have been using my dad's camera which is an upper model of mine, but I am now stress free to have mine back. Thanks so much Josh...you are my LIFESAVER!!!!!!

Making Homeade Pizzas

For part of Carter's birthday...we made homeade pizza. The kids got to make their very own personal pan pizza with toppings. It was a lot of fun and very delicious. They want to do it again. Brings back lots of memories making pizzas at Papa Murphy's.
