California, Here We Come!



Well, we are home from an ADVENTUROUS journey to the great state of California!! It was sad to not wake up at Grams and Gramps' house on Saturday...but we had so much fun while we were there! For those of you who don't know, ALL of my extended family (on my mom's side) lives in Northern California near and in Yuba City. My grandparents just recently celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary, and we got to be at their party!!! It was an amazing time with friends and family.
This is ALMOST the entire clan of GREAT grandparents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. (We barely missed Aunt Chris, Kira, and Jade...we will photo-shop them in!)
FIVE generations!!! What?! Awesome, huh? (Kyle, Parker, Jessie, Gramps/JD, Grams/Susie, Mammy/Mom/Tammy, Grandma Dyer/Dot, and Grandpa/Doc)
My mom's parents, and my grandmother's parents (They celebrated their 72nd anniversary in January!!!!)
Luke (cousin) and Grams; Luke's wearing his "I'm the best" smile.

Oh, yeah. Somewhere between these two pictures, we ALL got sick. All except the Parker and Jude. We passed it to a few aunts, uncles, and cousins...and Grams and Gramps. Talk about HORRIBLE timing.

After we recovered, we took a trip to the redwoods! Kyle had never seen them before, and it had been awhile for the rest of us. These pictures can't even capture the size and beauty these trees truly contain!
INSIDE a redwood! We also have pictures somewhere of a redwood tree that was cut down and made into a DANCE floor...that's how big around they are!
Aly, Misha (cousin), and Jude; Misha is due with her first baby, Kara, in about 3 weeks!!
My beautiful Grams and my chunky guy (Nicknamed "Munchkin" by Gramps!)
Aly and my awesome Gramps!
And just because he was being fun, bath time when we got home!
My cutie pie loved his bubble bath in the sink!

I HOPE Rox and Aly have some more good pictures I didn't even get to capture all the fun times we had with all of our family!

Until next time...BYE!

The Routh's Lately...

I said I would keep up with this...I guess posting every month is keeping up! Parker is now 6 months (today!) now so life is getting a little bit easier! The past couple of months have been so busy that we have barely been able to breathe! I'm excited to show you a small portion of our crazy life...
Parker's 5 month picture...so happy!
Aly (sis), Ashley (best friend/basically sis), and me
Whitney (friend/basically big sis) and Roxanne (sis)
Stone Girls and Rieves Girls...used to be at least! Amy Katherine (in the gorgeous blue dress) was on homecoming court at SBEC, and we all came to SCREAM for her! She is/was/always will be beautiful!!
Parker lets us know when he is ready for another bite by opening his mouth as wide as possible!
We also like to eat our toes...
Parker and his cousin, Jude! (Roxanne's youngest)
We spent a few days in Jackson and caught the snow! (Parker was not too fond of being bundled...)
Our CRAZY dog, Copper...LOVED the snow!
Me and my little guy!
My little family!
Parker with his Doc and Nanna (Kyle's parents)!
Pablo (my dad) and Parker - singing a kid's book to the tune of the Beverly Hillbillies theme song...hilarious.
Sleepy boy...fell asleep watching the Olympics.
Valentine's Day!
Being a dork in the snow...it actually stuck!
Continuing our tradition of caramel apples on Valentine's Day! Yum...
Long post? yes. I apologize...but I enjoyed sharing with you! Have a loverly, yes loverly, day!

Our Christmas Journey!

This Christmas, the Routh clan packed up the 'Terra to the roof and headed to see our immediate families for TWO WEEKS! We have never experienced Christmas like that before...SOOOOO much fun, and SOOOO crazy! We first spent time with my family in Southaven and then headed to Jackson to hang out with Kyle's famiy. Here are a few pictures of our experience...

SO much more happened than what I've shared, but I will spare you for now...and forgive me for not knowing how to post these pictures in chronological order. I'm apparently an idiot and don't know what I'm doing when it comes to blogging...I'll learn! So, basically, these pictures are just backwards. Merry (late) Christmas!
