Our brand new TWELVE year old!

Robby celebrated his 12th birthday playing Laser Tag with three good friends. Two are brothers that were our neighbors back in Oklahoma, so nice to be "local" with them now! He requested a Dippin' Dots cake. YUMMY!!! We surprised him with a nice stereo and he loves it.


The cake...

That's a few candles, make a wish!!

BLOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

Sad but true, best or better yet ONLY picture of the boys I have.

Dang cute picture of all the kiddos at his party! Was a fun night!

Happy Birthday my sweet boy!!

here goes....trying to back track and get up to date....

So what a day this was. I can't recall much before 2:40pm when my cell phone rang. I was just pulling out of our church parking lot from picking Tommy up from "school," 20 minutes from home. It was our neighbor that hasn't exchanged any communication with us since last May. He told me my horse was running in the street. I asked questions to verify it was my "horse." He got short and said "it's you big horse." I so badly wish I could be rude, disrespectful and such to clarify to him that we don't own a "big" anything... in fact we own a medium pony and a miniature horse, both animals being quite "small" for equines. I asked if he'd go out and either try to catch or calm my pony. He flat out said his "back was out" and he couldn't. World's Best Neighbors....NOT!

I called everyone I could think of to help...either they weren't home or they were unable to help. I simply prayed. And prayed a few more times...

Turns out Romeo JUMPED the fence. He realized the grass was not greener...when I arrived home I found Romeo wandering around near our walk out basement. Considering he has come in the doors down there before, maybe he was hoping Kaitlyn would come out and help him :) He came right up to me and I just stood there so relieved. The whole way home my mind couldn't help but fear for the worst. And wonder how in the world I'd tell his 10 yr old princess the bad news.


The fence....all bowed out. Looking close up I could see a few strands of hair. This could have been a mess.

Minor scrape on his one leg...lucky dog and thankful owner!

Here is Kaitlyn posing with Romeo to show the fence height is just below his withers.




Kaitlyn's 4th Grade Science Fair THAT NIGHT!!!
This was her second science fair. They were "walked" through the process. Kaitlyn had done one and scored well in 2nd grade. So this was a piece if cake and fun for her. Does the color of jars affect how much heat the water inside absorbs?
