The Roth Family: 2009

Kinsley's 1!

I wanted to put stuff up about my sweet baby's birthday, but first we were all sick and then it took me awhile to get my camera downloaded. So here we are! August 15th was Kinsey's first birthday. I can't believe she's already 1! The last year has gone by so fast! She has been such a sweet and fun addition to our family! She is always smiling and laughing. She is very lovable and cuddly. Kinsley loves all her siblings and is so patient with all the "love" she recieves in return! She finally learned to crawl at just over 11 months and I've seen her pull up to standing just a few times. She knows that her 3 big sibs will bring her whatever she needs and that mommy will pick her up when she cries, so why does she need to move? One of these days she'll walk, but I'm pretty content with her staying a baby a little while longer :)! Kinsley wasn't feeling great on her birthday, but she still had a good time. She loved the presents and even got the hang of opening them! By cake time though, she wasn't feeling great and didn't know what to think. She didn't really know what to do with the whole cake in front of her. She was better with a small piece and she LOVED the ice cream (definitely takes after her mom and dad!) It was a fun day, although a little sad for me as my baby isn't as much a baby anymore! It's so fun to see her personality progress as she grows! Happy Birthday sweet baby girl!

Summer Fun!

It's been a fun summer! We've camped, gone to the zoo, the beach, gone swimming, played in the sprinkler, played with friends, and just hung around the house. It'll be a nice change for the girls to go back to school, although it really makes me sad. I'll miss having them around! Nicholas will especially miss them! I don't think he'll know what to do without them home! Here are some pictures of our summer activities!

Fun on the playset!

For Christmas some of the wonderful grandparents chipped in and got a play structure for the backyard. Then came all the work of tilling and leveling an area to set it up. Luckily the kids have a great daddy that worked for weeks preparing the play structure! After all the work its finally done and the kids are loving it! It's so nice to be able to have them go outside and play and run off some energy! Here are some pictures of the kids enjoying their new toy right after it was all set up.

Just some new pictures!

I know its been awhile (again!), so here's some pictures of this last couple months of the kiddos. Everyone is doing great- really looking forward to summer and warm weather (hopefully!) and spending time with the kids! School is great for Emma and Sydney, Nicholas is growing up even more and Kinsley is getting bigger every day! I know there's a long list of pics, but like I said, it's been awhile! :)

My mom took a couple of days off during spring break so that we could do something with the kids. We went to the Kids Club in Vancouver one day and then to the Children's Museum the next. This is a picture from the Kids Club. It was fun to get out and do stuff with them.

Sydney had a special thing at school for Mother's Day and I got the pleasure of receiving a make-over from her! She did a fantastic job! (I was sure to wash my face before venturing to the store that day! :))

Happy Birthday, Emma!

Today is my oldest baby's 7th birthday! I can't believe she's 7 years old already! How time flies! We had a great day. My mom and I took her cupcakes and had lunch with her at school. She knew that I was coming, but to have grandma there was a surprise. It was fun to see her at school with her friends. It was cute that she was so proud to have us there and to get to introduce grandma to her class. One day she'll be begging me not to enter her school, so I'd better enjoy this while I can! It was so beautiful today and we got to play outside. Then, as is our tradition, we went out to dinner and dessert as a family. Emma got to open her present from us- an American Girl doll. She's been asking for months for one, so she was sooo excited! She said that today was the best day of her life (and that was before she got the doll!)! We are so blessed to have such a sweet and wonderful little girl in our family. Happy Birthday Emma! We love you so much!

I know its been awhile!

I know I've been a horrible blogger. I won't bore you with my millions of reasons except to say that I have four children, including a 5 month old! Anyway, we had a great Christmas. The kids had an extra week off of school due to the massive snow storm that hit. We had lots of fun playing in the snow, but I was really glad when school resumed! Everything's about the same in the Roth house- girls are still loving school, Nicholas points out everyday when we drop sisters off at school that he will go to school when he turns "tibe" (which is 5 in 3 year old language), and Kinsley is just as cute as can be and growing like crazy! So here are some pictures, including one from Halloween- they were so cute in their costumes!
