Loot

Nathanael is back from trick-or-treating. He lasted about 45 minutes and walked the neighborhood with Grandpa. They had a blast together. Happy Halloween!

Wyoming Bound

On the way to Grandma and Grandpa's house in Laramie for some old school trick ot treating. Hard to believe I-80 has been closed for 3 days. Most of the snow has melted. For some fun, the boys and I counted 18 wheelers from Cheyenne to Laramie. There has been quite a back-up since the roads have been closed. We counted...497 trucks heading eastbound. Wow.

Dad's Helper

I guess the weather forecasters got this one right. I was a bit doubtful this morning when there was only an inch of snow on the ground. But its been snowing all day and we now have about 6 inches.

Nathanael came out and helped with the shoveling. What a great kid! Thanks Nathanael!

Oh, and AWANA was canceled tonight. Boo.

Family Pics

This past Saturday, we gathered together the "Roth Family 6" and managed to get our family photo taken for the year. Thankfully, our favorite photographer was able to work us in before the big fall/Christmas rush began. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon in Greeley, and Kim did a great job of capturing the energy and excitement of our family. I will have the group shot hopefully posted later today or tomorrow. Until then, here are a few behind the scenes shots from the big photo shoot.

Dance

Grandma Janet also signed Sarabeth up for a dance class on Saturday mornings that they can go to together. Sarabeth is an amazing dancer, and loves putting on her "special shoes" and tutu for class. Can her role in the Nutcracker be too far away??

Climb!

As a very special treat, and a wonderful way to spend time with an individual grandchild, Grandma Janet signed Nathanael up for a climbing class! The two of them headed down to the rec center climbing wall last week for a two hour intro to climbing class. Nathanael of course had no fear. None what so ever. He climbed all three sections with no problems, and no fear of falling or heights. After class, Grandma treated him to an ice cream cone at Dairy Queen. What a great, fun night. Thanks Grandma!

Week #5 Winner

The Roth family football pool is heating up! In another hotly contested week, it came down to the Monday Night Football tie breaker. I think moving forward after this week, I will divide the pool into an adults and a kids pool. That way both the groups can enjoy the weekends games and there will be 2 winners every week! Congrats to this week's winner!

Celebration!

It was a big night out on the town last night, as we celebrated both Andrew's impending 9th birthday, and Jennifer's impending new job. We are all so proud of Jennifer and her new teaching job that will start next week at Frontier Academy Middle School. She will be teaching 8th grade Lit. and one section of senior World Lit.

So to celebrate, grandma and grandpa Gonzales took everyone out to Olive Garden. We had a great time of fellowship together and celebrating Andrew and Jennifer. Little Andrew even had Happy Birthday sang to him by the entire staff. What a great night!

Happy #9!

I would like to wish Little Andrew a very happy birthday! Wow those 9 years have gone by quickly. I hope today was wonderful for you kiddo. We are so thankful that God placed you in our family.

Library

Sarabeth and I headed to the library this morning to look for books and hear story time. We also got to say hi to Big Andrew's wife Rebecca. Before story time, Sarabeth performed a very good puppet show for me. Sarabeth got to hear 3 Daisy Head Maisy stories, The Three Billy Goats Gruff, dance to a song, and make a craft. Overall a great trip to the library on day #3 of dad's vacation!

Dave

Here is the new video for the song "You & Me" from the Dave Matthews Band. This is a real special song to me for a lot of different reasons. Sorry for the two commercials at the beginning. I've also had problems with the stream today, so I hope Yahoo gets it worked out. Enjoy!

Surprise!

We were so thrilled when we got a call on Sunday from our friends Shawn and Becky Stilie. They were in town from Pennsylvania for the weekend and were on their way over!! All 11 of us haven't been together in 2 and a half years. It was so wonderful to hang out with then for a few precious hours. Seemed just like old times, all of us getting together to watch the Broncos game, let all the kids play together, and eating good food. My mother-in-law was also so happy to see her friend Shawn!

All too soon the time together came to an end and they had to leave. They are such special friends, and we miss they so terribly much. Move back home to Colorado real soon Shawn and Becky!

Week #4 Winner

It came down once again to the Monday Night Football game this week. Nathanael and I were both tied at 10 correct picks. Natedogg picked Green Bay and I pick Minnesota. I win week #4!

As a quick review, Noah won week #2 with 10, Grandpa Roth won week #3 with 14, and I won this week with 11. We missed week 1.


Our Week #4 winner!
