Robin's 29th Birthday

Tuesday the 12th was actually my birthday and it started out well. (Except that I had a doctor's appointment that morning.) I woke up to a card that Derrick had left for me and it was one of my favorites. He is the best card giver and he spoils me with them. This card made me feel really special. Then friends had lunch for me at Debs house and the kids ran wild. The girls are so cute with the Target cards. When I got home to lay Megan down for a nap, the doorbell rang and it was the most beautiful bouquet of red, pink, and white roses. And another card. (so cute) My dad stopped over to pay his visit, then my friend Jen because she was babysitting so that Derrick and I could go to dinner. The Cheesecake Factory was so yummy, but I got another card. This card wasn't like the other cards. This card had a poem in it. The poem was about packing my bags because he's taking me to Cozumel. What an amazing husband I have. He is always trying to make sure I am the HAPPIEST! He does a great job at it. I'm so lucky to have him. I LOVE YOU!! XOxXoXxOXooXx

Flaming Gorge

My brother, Ryan, invited us to to boating with him at Flaming Gorge. I Thought that I didn't want to go, as we've been away from home for the past couple of weekends. I thought a nice quiet weekend at home would be nice. But on Friday, I was regreting not going. I called Derrick and pouted to him. He called me later and said that we are going. I was so excited. The only problem was Ryan didn't know we were coming. I called a friend, Clint, that was going up there. I told him to get a hold of Ryan and tell him we are coming. He said he would. Ryan was supposed to pick us up at the marina between 7:30 and 8. We got up there late because we had to go to the store (and we ran out of gas in the parking lot). When we got to the marina, Ryan wasn't there. I called Clint and he said he couldn't get a hold of Ryan to let him know we were coming. Clint decided that he would get Wendell to come get us in his boat. Wendell was nice enough to come get us and let us sleep on his boat. We finally met up with Ryan on Saturday morning(it's another long story, so I'll spare you all the details). We spent most of the day on the lake on Ryan's boat. It was a little windy, but really nice. I got to knee board for the first time in years. Derrick also tried it for the first time. You can see the carnage in the pictures. Cage and Megan had fun. Cage has a new girlfriend, Ashlynn. She's adorable. Thanks Ryan and Jen for all of your hospitality. Sorry about the Cuervo.

Diamond Creek, Idaho

We went to Diamond Creek, ID for a little camping and 4 wheeling.
It was nice because we haven't been able to camp with my
dad in two years. Or maybe it's because he hasn't invited us
(just kidding, Dad).
We went to Diamond Creek two years ago and got lost on
the way. Well, we got lost this time, too. We're certainly no
Rand McNally. We're so appreciative of my dad letting us use his
4 wheelers and motor home. He's so generous. We love you, Dad.
Everything went well on the trip, until the drive home; we got
a flat tire about 10 miles from camp. Poor Derrick had to bear the
heat and put the spare on. I felt so bad for him. If it wasn't for him,
I'd still be stuck there. He's my rock.
