as of late

Alright, are you ready for an update?

Because it's comin' at ya, right, now.

For Valentine's Day I got John tickets to Monster Jam (we've been ever Valentine's Day since we've been together, romantic right?)

This  year it didn't fall ON Valentine's day, but two weeks after.

John loved it, as always.

I feel like I've seen it before. (Weird)

John, and everyone's, favorite; Grave Digger.

It was the 30th anniversary of this car/driver.

Kind of crazy! 

I thought this part was cool, because he rolled his car.

Oh, and he is from Utah.

My Uncle whom I haven't seen in TEN years was in town last week!

Unfortunately, it is because my grandmother is in the hospital, but don't worry, she's doing much better and should be home after a couple week of rehab.

It was so good to see him, he looks the exact same.

Me, Kate, Steve, Stacey 

He called me his "Little Child of Light", seeing as that was the last time I was here, when I was in the Olympic Ceremonies.

Everyone and anyone who could was invited to dinner to celebrate him being here. 

This is everyone at the Grub, of course.

This last Monday, John and I went to a Jazz game with Daniel and Mandy.

Groupon was having a deal on tickets for this game only, so we figured why not!

The Jazz won, which is always nice, and even though we sat in the upper bowl, I still got some cool pictures.

My man Millsap. 

Big Al with the dunk! 

Had to get one of John's man crush Gordon Hayward. 

And this is the "shot of the night".

I just liked how it turned out!

And finally! Last night we met little Kennedy, Eric and Tanya's brand new baby girl.

She is the cutest! I think she looks like a little Eskimo and I love it.

Holding her made me baby hungry.

Eek.

North Cackalack

John, Patty, and I went to North Carolina the first weekend in November to visit Jim, Jess, Alice, and new baby brother Jacob. 

We flew through Atlanta, and then into South Carolina. 

In one weekend, I visited three new states.

That's like double the amount of states I have been to! (But, not really).

While we were there, we went shopping at the largest mall I have ever been to in my life.

No joke.

This mall had a Coach Factory Store so of course I had to buy a new purse.

My husband loves me a lot.

I spent as much time as I could holding this little guy.

We also went to the Renaissance Festival. 

It was quite the adventure, it's like an all-out party.

They had a show there where they were displaying different kinds of birds, and I got some pretty cool pictures!

Check out this guy's eyes. Amaaazing. 

This one didn't want to come down from the roof... 

I honestly don't know what kind of bird this is, but I like this picture. 

So, yeah. 

Alice and I rode a ride, and we bought her some fairy wings and a wand.

Favorite auntie..right here. 

All I have ever heard about this Festival is about the Turkey legs, so of course I had to try one. That thing was freaking massive. 

John tried on some Pirate coats. 

And proved his strength. 

And we saw the infamous fairy.

Twig, I believe is her name.

The whole reason we went out there, really, was to go to Jacob's blessing.

This is everyone that was there.  Jess' family, us, and some family friends from the ward. 

Jess, Jim, Alice and Jacob.

And of course, I had to get some pictures of the little guy by himself. 

And the clown fish.

Of course. 

It was a fun trip! Hard to come home, but what can ya do!

Thank you to Jim and Jess for inviting us, and letting us stay with them for the weekend!

Introducing the newest addition to the Roos family.

I am already in love with her...

...she was born yesterday.

There was no picture of her on facebook of little Avery yet, so when I wanted a picture, this was the facebook approved picture.

Okay, and this is my normal one. :)

Like I said. I love her.

I had to. It's hilarious.

Auntie Kate.

Grandma and Grandpa with grand baby number nine.
I am so excited to have a new baby around! Except, just holding her has already made me baby hungry. Hopefully I get to see her often, because I just love her.
