Happy Birthday Kobe

Happy Birthday Kobe! Wow! We can't believe it, Kobe is 6 today. He has grown up so fast. Kobe is the sweetest kid you'll ever meet. He is such a delight to be around. Riley & I absoulutely adore our little guy. He is our whole world! You will never meet a more imaginative or go go go little boy. Everyday he is a new superhero. He just wants to be friends with everyone & please everyone. This morning when he woke up, he jumped out of bed & said "I think I'm taller!" He is always making us laugh. I am so thankful he is my little guy. He is always teaching me new things. We love him so much.

Congrats

It finally happened! Riley is now an official full time employee with South Davis Fire Department. I am so extremely proud of him. He got the phone call on his birthday to meet with the Chief Monday morning. And this morning, they offered him the job. He has worked for South Davis Metro for six years now, & has been waiting for six years to be full time. It's about time!! He couldn't be more excited. Now he'll have to just find a part time job to do on his off days. Good luck & we love you so much!

Yay! They're back.

Is anyone as excited as me? American Idol is back! It has always been one of my favorite shows. Last year was the best with David Archuleta. I was scared it was all going to be a let down after last year, but so far I'm really liking the new season. Kobe is loving watching the funny people with me. The talent seems to be really good, & they haven't even got to Salt Lake yet. Can't wait to see the locals. Make us proud!!
Every year I always say that I'm not going to get sucked into the Bachelor again. And what always happens? I'm hooked the first night. Right now I'm rooting for Melissa ( I think that's her name. The Dallas Cowboy cheerleader.) She was really cute with him. There were a lot of women that I can't wait til there gone. The drama queens ( if you watch then you know who I'm talking about!) & the one with all the plastic surgury. The plastic surgury girl is nice, but looks way too old! And I have a feeling he ends up with DeAnna. I hope not. Lets just hope for a happy ending! So those of you who watch (Jaci I'm talking about you) I can't wait til next week! Happy watching!!

Sledding

Today we went up to Mueller Park to take Kobe sledding. It was the first time this year & he had so much fun. We thought it would be packed, but we were the only people in the whole area. Usually we just take him to Southwood Park, but we wanted to try something new. When he saw the hill he thought we were kidding. He was a little nervous at first. He kept telling Riley, "Dad if you hurt me I'll be so mad". We thought that was pretty funny. Can you believe it? I even went down with him! I loved watching them go over this little jump. They would just barely come off the ground, but Kobe couldn't stop laughing. They went down so many times. He didn't want to leave! We can't wait to take him again.
