Great Grandma Gubler

Lately....

 

Rod came home from work the other day to find the girls making a makeshift bike jump in our court.  That warmed their biking-daddy's heart!

 

 

The neighborhood kids got in on the action...

 

When Parker & Em came to visit, we had a lot of fun! I love this picture of Haley & Parker drawing.  Haley: "Oh crap, that's a WAY better scribble than mine!"  (Note Parker's hair berret...I'm pretty sure he wore high heels when he was here, too...sorry Brett!)

 

My Mother's Day Loot: all homemade gifts from my sweet girls.  Caitlin made a trail out of yarn that I had to follow and find my presents.  I don't know exactly what some of these things were supposed to be....but I love them!

By the way, Brooke- you have to get your "posting" to work! I want to see your table, your kids....so much to catch up on!

Yosemite

           I went with my book group.  We hiked through the giant sequoias.  Amazing.

  This is the telescope tree.  I was inside looking up.  Some trees are 3000 yrs. old!

 

         We hiked up Sentinel Dome and Taft point, and Mariposa Grove - 12 miles in 2 days.
                                              Elevation was about 8,000 ft.

           That's Half Dome in the distance.  Very fun.

The Hobbit

So, Rod and I just watched The Hobbit the other night and it was REALLY long and made this sketch from SNL a lot funnier:
(WARNING: there is one cuss word)

HaPpY biRtHdaY!

I don't mean to take over doing the bday posts...so if anyone else has pics to post of Em, please do! Just wanted to say happy birthday little sis! You are lots of fun and we love you! Thanks for being such a loving, thoughtful, and funny sister!!

Happy Birthday Sister!

Happy Birthday Brooke!! You are the BEST oldest sister! We love you and love your humor, kindness, and wonderful example!! Okay, so I found a few old pictures. When I saw this first one, I kinda snickered at the look on Mom's face, then I saw Travis, lurking in the background. So I had to post that one!
