Robb and I woke up to a scare this morning. Bobby was not in bed or even in the house anywhere. He likes to sometimes sleep behind the couches, so we checked behind every couch, under every bed and in every nook and cranny. We checked in the cars and the bathtubs with no luck. This is where I started getting very very worried. It was my turn to carpool so I picked up the neighbor kids and dropped them and Jazz off at school. I searched for him on the way and back from school, but still nothing. When I got home, and started looking closer, I realized that the clothes he sat out for school were gone as well as his rip stick and backpack. His school is 5 miles away and I wondered if he might have decided to ride his rip stick to school and wanted an early start. As I was getting ready to head off to his school, he walks in the door with a very scared look on his face.
What I was feeling at that moment were a barrage of feelings; angry, relieved, confused, joyous. He walked up to me and hugged me with tears in his eyes. I asked him where he was and he said when he woke up, his clock said it was 8:10 and his bus leaves at 8:15 so he hurried and got dressed and ran to the bus. What he didn't realize was that his clock was an hour ahead and the bus he got on was the bus to the high school. He rode the bus quietly with the big kids to the high school and when the bus driver realized she had an extra small child on board, she brought him back to his bus stop.
What a scary morning for all involved. I cant imagine in my worst nightmares ever losing a child. Bobby adds so much sunshine and happiness to my life. I don't know what I would do without his fifty hugs and kisses a day, his silly jokes and his kind, sweet heart. I am so blessed to have him in my life.

LONGEST SUMMER EVER. .
Goodbye late nights, sleeping in and long days of doing nil,
Welcomed are bed times, a schedule and expectations to fulfill.
So long boredom, loneliness and a general sense of despair,
Hello sports, friends, homework and excitement in the air.
We have never been so happy to see this nightmare end,
So we bid a grand farewell to summer 2010!!

"2-fer"
4th of July, Robb and Bobby were able to go to Wyoming for a much needed vacation. Robb was able to go to his "favorite place on earth" - Devils Canyon. These pics are backwards, sorry.
He was able to do some golfing.
He went to Colstrip, MT and saw some old friends. That is where he grew up.

Moss Ranch
Can you see that truck going up the mountain. My baby was in there. I try not to think about it too much.
The gang - Robb and Bobby, Brook and Larissa and Macey and James and Evan.
Look at all that green and the hoodie. Obsolete images living in the desert.
Evan and Bobby with supper.
Are they not the sweetest things you've ever seen??? I was alone while they were gone and I went crazy. Ill admit, it was great for the first three days but then I just wanted them home. Im so glad that they were able to go, though. They fit a lot into the week they were gone. They were able to go through Yellowstone Park on their way home. Great bonding experience for father and son and like I said, a much needed vacation for Robb.
Now, if you havent heard yet, Robb and I are grandparents!! I was very apprehensive when I first found out I was going to be one. First of all, Hope is so young and second, I am just not old enough to be a grandma, right? For a while, I thought of many alternative names; Nammy, Gangy, Mama Jem but when it came right down to it,
On the way home, they stopped at the Logan Temple. This is where my parents were married.

Proud papa and mama. Jhofer did excellent. We each held a leg and I didnt once see him get faint or gray or have to step away.
What an amazing experience. Hope did awesome, with a little help from her best friend, epideral. Robb was also able to give her a blessing. I am so thankful that he is able to do that now. I laughed and cried and cried some more. I am so glad that they live close. There will be many many miles traveled on the road from Mesquite to St George. I am so very blessed.
