HERE IS ROKA BEING SO STINKIN' CUTE!

She has just started laughing.  Guy caught this one on tape!  Thank goodness.

Last night she was HILARIOUS at Mimi and Papa's:
Mimi was holding her during dinner and she just BURST into laughter.  We have no idea why.
We started to TRY to make her laugh; we had no success.
A few minutes later, she burst into laughter again.

Apparently she was thinking something completely hilarious.  We weren't funny at all though.
She is so cute.  Here's some little laughs:



The Parent Tripe

Can I just say how much I love my in-laws?  They are amazing.  I can't believe how blessed I was to marry into such a wonderful family.
With that preface, let me just say how much we adore Beebs.
We love her.
She is our best friend.
We kind of are obsessed with her.
(e.g. we basically have no lives when she goes on vacation)

SO - anyways, we had a wonderfully fun night with Aubrea and we gave little Roka a bath.  She was so sweet and aunt Beebs helped and washed her hair.  Roka was being so funny staring at herself in the mirror!!  She loved it!

(this is what Roka looked like staring at herself in the mirror)
We made a terrible decision to watch The Parent Trap.  Basically it was so amazing, that we had to watch THE PARENT TRAP 2  (yes, it exists) and it is the most terrible thing in the entire world.

I can't even believe the message of this film we watched!  Terrible, terrible, terrible!  Seriously, don't ever watch it, EVER.

 We were laughing so so hard.  

Also, we want Megan and Luke to re-do the film, since the man has brown hair and the lady is a blondie.  LOVE THAT IDEA!

anyschmoo, don't watch PT2 :)

I've Had A Birthday Shout Hurray!

Happy Birthday, Me!  I am 23 years old.  I think.  I am getting so old that I can't even remember what age I am - this is my formula for figuring out my age :  take the year it is (2013) and the last number of the year is the last number of my age.  I KNOW i'm in my 20's, therefore, I am 23.
Easy Schmeezy!
Too bad I even have to do that to know how old I am.
SO - I HAVE THE COOLEST HUSBAND.  Take a look at these decorations he did BY HIMSELF!
He is cute.
I love Him.
Did I mention green is my favorite color!
This is what I woke up to.  Lots of presents!  He is a little sneak, because we weren't supposed to buy presents.  


I had the best day ever, and I even ran into Tammy (used to watch her CUTE CUTE girls) at the movie theatre.  We were going to go see the Hobbit, but we were a little late and the line was SO SO SO SO SO long I couldn't even believe it, so we just rented some movies and went home!  It was so fun.  The older I get, the more I just don't need things for myself.  All I really want is time with my family.
I'm SO gald we finally have the internet.  We got to FaceTime with my parents and it is always so good to see them.
It is so hard to have your family in another state!  We miss them so much!  I'm so glad that I had a wonderful day though, thanks to my sweet husband.  I love him so much!

 Happy Valentine's Day!  Guy and I decided not to get any presents for each other since we got a really expensive gift for Christmas :)  Our sweet Roka!  It was seriously the best though.  I just love spending time with my husband, that's all I ever want!


Miss Roka was VERY talkative today, she was cracking me up.  She seriously was talking all day long.  Here she is:






10 pounder!

So, Roka and I went to the Pediatrician to find out that Roka now weighs 10.2 lbs.  She is chunkin up!  She is growing so fast.  She got some shots today, which was the saddest thing of my life.  I've never seen her so sad!  I even asked the nurse lady if all babies scream this much.  Thankfully (but sadly), she said yes.  Roka slept for much of the day after that!  

The day before was her 2 month birthday.  Here's what she looks like at 2 MONTHS!







NAMM - a - RAMA!

Sooo - Guy, his dad, and Michael went to the N.A.M.M show this year!  Pretty awesome stuff, but they left some lonely girlies at home.  It's ok though since we just had cupcakes from The Sweet Tooth Fairy all night long while watching Romantic Comedy's (don't worry, Roka already loves them.  She even "cooed" at the kissing scene)!

 Here are some awesome piano's Guy saw!  They are amazing!  Take a look :

January 6, 2012 - Roka's Blessing Day

So grateful for my wonderful husband being able to bless sweet Roka!  All who were in the circle:

Grumps (Grandpa Raymond)
Papa (Grandpa Gibbons)
Dave Callister
Michael Gibbons
Eric Larsen
Luke Flinders
Ben Raymond
Justin Chidester
Dave ZoBell
Bishop Matthew Chidester

It was so fun to have family there!  My dad bore his testimony about Great-Grandpa Tingey (I'm pretty sure it was him... i'll have to double check) who served a mission in New Zealand and met a sweet Maori girl named Roka - named his daughter Roka, and now my baby is Roka!  Guy also bore a sweet testimony.  I love my family!  





We had crepes at the studio afterwards (thanks to my family members!  Namely Lucie, Momma Ray, Megan, Aymee, and Cha - and their spouses :).  Here are some of the decorations -


and here is the sweet pea herself.  Mimi (Lucie Gibbons) made her BEAUTIFUL flower she is wearing.  A great day to be thankful!


Roka Lee has so many nicknames like such as :

Sniglet
Snig
Tika (the twins - Lucie and Lily - can't say Roka, so they say Tika)
Roka Boca

can't think of the other ones.  i'll put them down when i remember.

and ... she's 1 MONTH OLD!

Roka is 1 month old!  Can't believe it.  Time sure is flying by.  She is getting so big!  I swear she was posing for these pictures.  She was being SO good, just looking at the camera and staying still.  Or, as you can see -  her princess pose (the pink picture).  She stayed in that position for a little while, and giving us some gems.  What a cutie!

Today it snowed like 15 inches.  It is freezing outside.  Since we could not drive anywhere with the awful weather, we had to think of how to take the pictures at home.  So, these pictures are brought to you by the help of cheap equipment at our own apartment.  Guy used his camera, and we used a light bought from walmart  covered with a white shirt.  She is laying on a cheap green sheet - you'd never know with my husbands magic!

Sweet Roka Lee**

 Our sweet Roka Lee came to us on December 11, 2012.  Her due date was 12/8/12, so she was waiting to come on her daddy's birthday (her ultrasound on the first doctor's visit said she'd come 12/12/12, so we don't really know if she came "early" or "late").


right after she was born - when they put her on me.  They originally put her a lot lower than that, but she used her strong leg muscles to crawl up me!  She finally stopped when she had her cute head nestled into my neck.  She is a snuggler already!  She was 6 lbs, 14 oz, and 20.5 inches.  Long, skinny, and super cute!

taking her home 12/12/12 in her cute outfit that is too big for her! :)  I love her to death.  She is the cutest thing in the world.  We are so blessed to have such a beautiful princess!
