Go Thunder!

Gabe coaches Redden in youth football and while I've been in Utah I've gotten to go to 2 of their games. They won big both times and it is so fun to watch! The first week they got to play at a really nice high school stadium with a turf field and Nani and Popi were also there. Gabe puts a lot of time into coaching and Redden has really improved and does a great job!

Their team is 4-1 and they only lost that game by 1 point. Way to go Gabe and Redden!

Ruby Update

There have been several requests for more pictures of Ruby and since we all know how often Melanie updates her blog the job was left up to me. So here you go:

Her first bath

With her big brothers

Lookin cute!

Even Chevy adores her

That's all folks! We are all enjoying her and she's been really good so far. Melanie is definitely having fun dressing her everyday in cute girly clothes. Hopefully she will actually update her blog and facebook soon!

Ruby's Sweet Ride

Gabe's parents, Tony and Yvonne, came to Utah to welcome their first granddaughter after 17 grandsons. They made good on a promise to bring the first girl home from the hospital in a limousine. I was lucky enough to be part of the fun! A long, white limo picked us up from the house and took us to the hospital where we picked up Melanie, Gabe and Ruby and then it took us all home in style. The boys had a ball and thought it was pretty awesome. Thanks Nani and Popi!

Can you say spoiled?!!

Melanie was induced today and delivered a healthy baby girl! #11 grandchild is here safe and sound. Ruby Yvonne Rojas was born at 2:55 p.m. Utah time, weighed 6 lb. 10 oz. and was just over 19 inches long. Mother and baby seem to be doing great. Here are a few pictures that they sent to me via cell phone.

Isn't she adorable?! I promise more pics when I get to Utah tomorrow. Can't wait to meet her!

Slow Down!

When I was raising my kids they didn't seem to grow fast enough, but now that I'm a grandma they seem to grow way too fast!

From this:

Reese (2 days old)

To this:

Reese and Kamri (3 months old)

Samantha (5 months old) and Kamri

Aren't they adorable? Can't wait for Ruby to join them!

Reese's Pieces!

3 down, 1 more to go!

The third of our four baby girls has arrived! Reese Olivia Knight joined our family on Thursday, August 20th at 6:02 a.m. She weighed in at 7 lb. 7 oz. and was 21 1/4 in. long. She has a head full of dark hair and is a cutie!

Highlight Reel

The dog days of summer are here and we're just trying to survive the heat! Here are a few highlights of the past month and what we've been up to.

Went to Wicked at Gammage

First time to see it and I really enjoyed it. Not really Ron's cup of tea but he was a good sport and went with me. (I think he thought they served food or something!)

Went to Oceanside

This year was a little different. For the first time in 14 years we didn't go to Oceanside as a family. Our family is getting too big and the budget wouldn't allow for it. But thanks to my generous older sister Debbie, I was able to go over and spend a few days at the beach with her family and my brother Terry and his family. We had a great time and the weather was fab!

Rode bikes around Coronado Island.

Boogie boarded up a storm!

What a couple of hot babes!

Went out on the pier and saw this cool pelican.

Went to Las Vegas

Last weekend Ron and I jumped in the car with our friends the Leavitts and went to Vegas. Didn't take any real pictures because: What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!
So there you have it. Don't we lead an exciting life?!!
