This is Linda (Carrie’s Mom). There are a couple of things I wanted to let you all know about. First, as many of you may already know, on July 29, 2009 Aunt Katie is hosting a get-together for all of the family at Silver Falls, Oregon. it’s a tradition of her family to invite anyone in the family who can to come to breakfast at Silver Falls on the last Saturday in July. This year we’d especially like to have as many as possible come. If at all possible Grandpa Roberts will be there too, which brings up the second item.

We’d like to buy a recliner for Grandpa for Christmas. Mike Lyman has set up this post so that you can contribute if you would like. Click on the “Chip In” button and follow the instructions.

What is Chipin?

Chipin is simpy an easy way for us to collect all the money from everyone. You click the link it takes you to Mike’s paypal account and you use a credit or debit card to deposit the money. Then, we take the money everyone submitted and go buy Grandpa Roberts a nice recliner. If you don’t feel comfortable donating using PayPal and Chipin but would still like to contribute to help pay for the recliner then please contact Carrie Lyman or send a check to our address:

So today before conference we busted out our Halloween stuff and the girls started dressing up.
Here’s a little preview of things to come!
Unicorns bat girl and vampires + Madie as herself

We signed up Mya, Olivia and Madalynn for swim lessons at the South Davis Rec Center in Bountiful.

They had a great time and here is the results and an idea of how their lessons went!

This is a little late getting posted but better late then never. Over the 4th of July weekend many of the Roberts family converged at Blue Mountain Lodge in Souther Utah (just outside of Milford and Beaver, UT)

We had a wonderful time and it was great to get reaquainted with family that we hadn’t seen in years.

Many of the Jones family clan arrived on Thursday evening at the Lodge and we spent Friday 4-wheel’n and exploring the vast wilderness. Some of the kids and girls went to Milford to enjoy some of the 4th of July festivities.

On Friday and Saturday everyone else started arriving and it was great to see cousins, aunts and uncles, that we hadn’t seen in years.

Check out the movies and pictures from the reunion. Hope you all enjoy.

August 7 2001 – Mya was born in Manteca CA. It’s amazing how time flies and she is turning 7 already. Mya has been a wonderful daughter and great sister. She is so witty and smart and I believe the world’s best negotiator! I remember spending the night in the hospital with Carrie while she was in labor with Mya. We were so excited for Mya to come. We originally decided to name her Mariah (we even told a few people that was her name) but after holding her and being with her Mya seemed to fit much better. I remember how we would warm her bath towels in the oven so after her little bath in the kitchen sink she would have a warm towel to be swaddled in.

Today I was watching the girls while Carrie was shopping with the girls. I thought how fun and cute they are

Livy was fitting herself into the lego bucket… Is she really that small!

Mya tried to fit into hte bucket as well… At almost 7 she doesn’t fit anymore.

Kennedy was walking around all evening with her skort in an inverted style. She’s trying to make a fashion statement.

I didn’t capture a picture of Madie but she was signing and watching a Veggie Tales movie!

Check out these great pictures. We had fun. Luv you girls

Happy Birthday Madie!

Today marks year number 4. Madalynn was born in Logan Regional Hospital 4 years ago! Man how time sure flies. This year for Madie has been full of changes for Madie.
A move to Woods Cross meant a new school and new doctors. She has progressed wonderfully this last year and is such a wonderful joy and spirit in our family! Kennedy and Madie are such good friends, as are all our girls. It is such a wonderful thing to have girls so close together in age. They play and help each other and each adds a wonderful spirit and personality to the mix.
