Enough for a Basketball Team

Yes, we are expecting our fifth child. Josh says we are hoping for our center.....for the basketball team, get it? I'm about 11 weeks along and am due in the middle of June. Of course we are hoping for a boy but we'll be okay with another girl, even Matthew agrees with that. Once I'm not feeling so sick I'm sure I'll be more excited about this but right now part of me is wondering why we made this decision, especially since this means we will most likely miss John's wedding.
We do get to go shopping to buy a new crib and other baby things. We'll keep you posted!

2 Princesses, a Queen, a Senator, and a Super-Hero

This was the trick-or-treating party we had for this Halloween. They were all very happy and excited to be getting candy. Katie lasted for about a half dozen houses, with Dad carrying her part of the time. Matthew lasted for about another dozen houses but then he was ready to go home too. The three older girls lasted a little longer, until we got a few rain drops then they were ready to go home and check out their haul. Everybody had fun, and surprisingly the candy is almost all gone already.

Snow Day!

Almost two weeks ago on Sunday we woke up to several inches of snow. Usually it kind of creeps up on you. First you see it on the tops of the mountains and the next storm it will be little lower down until eventually it will be in your yard. But not this year! We had some rain the day before but it had stopped so I was thinking we weren't going to get anything else. Josh got up Sunday morning and told me we had several inches out there. For a second I thought he was joking. It snowed all during church and most of the afternoon as well. We decided to let the kids go out and play (is that bad?) Well I'm glad we did because the next day enough had melted that it just wouldn't have been any fun. The snow was completely gone after several days and we had some pretty warm weather but are now back to cooler but it's supposed to get warmer again. I guess that is Utah fall weather for you.

The kids sure had fun while it lasted though.

Cougar Craze!

So this is what we've been eating every BYU game day for several weeks now.

(you can't tell from the picture but the ice cream is called Cougar Craze)

We actually forgot to have any before the game against TCU so I guess we can't blame it all on Charles. We did have blue Koolaid though.

Belated Birthday Pictures.

These weren't pictures from her birthday but I thought they were too cute.

Roth Reunion

I never did get around to putting up these pictures of my family at our reunion in August. We went camping up Logan Canyon and then spent the day at Bear Lake. It was a lot of fun for those that were able to make it.

My brother trying to set up a brand new tent with help from my Dad and niece.








My brother asked us if we wanted to play a Cheetos game and I was wary but decided I should join in since he was trying to actually have us do something fun together. After we said we'd play and got lined up he brought out the shaving cream. On the count of three we were supposed to put the shaving cream on our faces and our partner would throw Cheetos at our face trying to get them to stick. Emma, Matthew and Katie did not like this game at all. Emma was Josh's partner and she just stood there aghast at what was going on. Matthew was mad because he wanted to eat the Cheetos! I'm not sure exactly what upset Katie (people throwing things at her scary? parents.) But even though I usually hate stuff like that, embarrassing myself, looking like an idiot etc. It was pretty funny!
