Roan's Birthday Parties and Baptism

On July 6th 2003 Roan was born. Michael was in Iraq and the girls and I were staying with his mom, Ginger. Michael had been awoken and handed a little slip of paper that said he had a healthy baby boy. It was a few days until he was able to get to a phone and call us. Luckily he didn't have to wait too long to meet Roan. We flew to Fort Campbell to meet Michael as he returned from deployment when Roan was almost 2 months old.
Roan's family Party, lucky for us Grandma Ginger had come to visit!




Better-Than-Almost-Anything Cake was his choice. German Chocolate cake soaked in sweetened condensed milk, then topped with caramel, whipped cream, and heath bits.

For his Friend Party Roan decide to invite a couple friends to play some Kinect then go see a movie. We went to Mr. Popper's Penguins. They liked it, I slept through it. ;)

For dessert he picked Brownies and Icecream.

On July 9th Michael baptized and confirmed Roan a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It was a really great day and we were happy to share it with good friends and Grandma.

I love this picture of my two men.

4th of July!!!

Fort Rucker had a big celebration for 4th of July. We went with friends and ate fried foods, oreos (Avie said the frying made them soggy. yuck) and funnell cakes. We looked at all the different helicopters and took pictures. We watched a big fireworks show then returned to our house for Sundaes and sparklers.
