Pinata Party

Grandma Barth gave the kids a pinata party. All the grandkids took a swing-or several. Inside were individual presents for each grandchild. It was a blast!

Snow Bunnies at the Barths

There was snow-a-plenty in Cedar City. The kids all had different attitudes about the snow. Addie couldn't get enough. Maycie was okay with it until she got wet. Alex wanted nothing to do with it. For him it was cold, wet, hard to walk in and just plain miserable.

Caitlin Gets THE CALL

One of the highlights of our trip was witnessing Caitlin opening her mission call with the whole Barth-Robbins clan. I can't believe my little Caiter-bug is so grown up. No longer is she hiding bugs in her crib or playing in the dirt. She's ready to serve the Lord.

Everyone got their chance to guess the destination for Sister Robbins. Caitlin's on the phone getting a few last minute predictions from friends.

"You have been called to serve....."



"AHHH- in the Brussels, Belgium/Netherlands mission."

Tooth Fairy Pays a Visit

The first week in December, Addie lost her first tooth. A couple of days later, another came out. It would be safe to say "All I want for Christmas is my two bottom teeth."

Thanksgiving in Pennsylvania

For Thanksgiving this year, we had a great time visiting Rob's cousin and his family on their 85 acre "farm" in Mansfield, PA. Mike and Shawna and their 4 fantastic children were so hospitable. The kids loved playing with their dog, Taffy and petting the goats and chickens. I loved purchasing some of the wonderful products the Reed kids make with their honey bee business and doing a little antiquing. As an extra bonus, my brother, Patrick came out for a visit. The kids had a great time getting reacquainted with Uncle "Pat".
