13 Weeks

Baxter is large and in charge at his 13 week check up. He is at 21
pounds. Also got a shot today. We discovered that he DOES NOT like his
leash. He just sat down and refused to move. So we carried him. Pretty
good deal for Baxter.

Jazz!

Thanks again to Big Andrew for the invite last night to the UNC Jazz
Festival after hours jam band. It was neat to see and hear the amazing
musicians that UNC has. Even though we only stayed until 12:15, it was
fun.

WBN 2012

My books arrived! Back in February I applied to be a book giver for
the first ever World Book Night. My application was accepted and
anticipation has been building. Finally last week I was notified my
case of books were ready to be picked up. Please check out
www.worldbooknight.org for more information. Should be fun on Monday
night!

Wings!

Long week for the Frontier family as a very special 10th grader passed
away on Tuesday night. So after the viewing tonight that Jen attended,
it was time to bring a little happiness to the family: wings! We
polished off 75 of those little suckers in addition to a huge bucket
of fries and soda. Everyone, including Andrew's friend Andrew, left
full.

Wheels!

Last night at AWANA was Wheelie-Dealie night. Everyone was encouraged to bring wheels to use during game time. Sarabeth brought her scooter, boys brought bikes. Thanks to Big Andrew for bringing all the bikes and kids in his car!

Winning

Been a good start to 2012 on Route 96830.  Instead of shirts or pants this year, Top Cat award comes with a SIZEABLE cash prize. But its awarded in an AMEX gift card. That won't arrive for 2-3 weeks. And not many places take AMEX. But Starbucks does.

Teeth

Dental health is something that is so important to ALL members of the family. Our dentist Dr. McGuffey and our vet would be pleased. 

BOTB

Missed posting this several weeks ago. Both Andrew and Nathanael had been working hard on their Battle of the Books team since December. They read the 10 books on the list, practiced with their teams, and studied possible questions. Sadly, neither team qualified for district competition this year. Here is Nathanael's team "Book Dogs" getting ready. They are on the right. Nathanael is in the light blue shirt looking at the camera.

Club

Reading is quite a popular activity at the Roth household. With the amount of time we have spent reading to the children since they were born coupled with the Reading Counts program at Frontier, its no wonder the kids devour books by the arm full. So this past Sunday I decided to try out a Roth family Book Club. On Sunday nights, everyone is going to bring to the dinner table whatever book they are reading that week. Then they will get to share with the family what they are learning from their book. We had a great discussion and will try it again this week!

Family

Hard to believe the vacation is already over in a matter of hours. It's been a good week, and most of the items on the to-do list have been completed. Here is the Roth Family 11 picture from Easter Sunday.

Little D

Andrew is in the mountains for a few days with his friend Levi. He called me last night to say goodnight and called again this morning to say hello and that they have to poop in a hole. And that its windy. I suggested he not let the wind blow him into the poop hole. More timeless wisdom from a father to a son.

Cards!

Even though we couldn't spend Easter with Grandma Janet and Grandpa Jim, they sent each of the kids a very nice Easter card with something special inside. Thanks! And yes, Noah got his too, but was at a friends house at the time the picture was taken.

Wow!

Rockies score 7 in the bottom of the fifth over the course of almost an hour and strengthen the lead, 16-7. Rockies have 19 hits. Amazing.

Blackhawk

While the Rockies are busy giving up 7 runs in the fourth, the EOV is going great. Girls got all dressed up after their spa day and are enjoying dinner. While I'm typing this, the Rockies just scored 3 more runs and retook the lead 9-7. Crazy.

Fun!!

The Rockies are running around the bases like its Tball season. Linscome just got yanked after 2 1/3 innings. In the picture are Cargo on third with Tulo batting. Rockies up 6-0 with the bases loaded!
