New Family Member

Here she is Ava Christine Sanders

This is our activity with the boys while we are waiting for the phone call from the hospital.

Here she is Ava Christine - surrounded by her family. They are now a family of five.

She weighed in at 8 pounds 6 ounces. She doesn't look much like her brothers but she is a cutie with a look all her own. She was born Friday, July 17th at 2:36 pm. Alexis says this was her hardest birth but she was bigger than the brothers before her. Alexis is doing fine now as is Ava.

Graduation Barbeque

Allie's Graduation party!

Since this will be a fun day already, we wanted to add to the fun!

Come and enjoy a barbeque at Mom's house after the graduation, or during if you get really hungry. We will have burgers and hotdogs and salads galore! Everyone coming for Sara and Gary's wedding will be tired after a trip to the temple and ready to relax. (come even if you didn't go to the wedding!!) So come sit in Mom's nice back yard and enjoy dinner and family fun!

This is June 12th at about 7:30 ish

Come enjoy!!

Let us know if you are going to stop by so we can have plenty of food!

We can't wait to see everyone!

Family Recipes

Hi,

Petra and I thought "oh what fun we will do a recipe book for all the girls in the family" (sorry guys!!) We gathered receipes and took pictures or found pictures. (we have one of Grandpa picking the berries in the back yard for the berry cobbler recipe!) Then we started putting it together, about 100 hours later we decided this was WAY more work than we thought. Soooo having said that, we have decided that we could do the pages and maybe color copy them for people that want them. So Rachel your job is to find some pictures of your Dad cooking. We have several Uncle Randy recipes that need better pictures.
And to all of you out there, if there is a recipe you can think of that we might not have, let us know. We have sat with Grandma several times picking her brain for things like her vegtable soup that always seems to be cooking on the stove when someone has driven a long distance to visit and of course her macaroni salad and sweet and sour pork, cheese cake, this list goes on and on. So hopefully we can get started again and create some more books

P.S.

I am so way jealous Sara-Rae got a family recipe book!! I know my parents make a lot of grandmas recipes, but I don't have them all for sure. Is there a way I can get a copy of that book somehow?! If I need to pay you I will, those are priceless recipes that I love!

New Blogger in Town

It was Tempel Day! Friday April 17th Sara Rae recived her own Endowments at the Sacramento Tempel. Grandma, Aunt Carna, Uncle JJ, Mom & Dad as well as what's his name (ok it's Gary) It was great going thru a session with the family. Also Tha CA. clan had a Bridal Shower, CArna and her gang of party givers did a great job. On to more wedding plans stay tune.

WICKED in the Fall

Hey Ladies of the Roskelley Clan -

We thought this might be the best way to reach everyone, since we are hoping that you all check out the family blog. Also, if we tried to call or email everyone we would probably miss someone and then everyone would hate us and give us dirty looks and threats at family functions and we want to avoid those, as we get enough already.

Petra and I are throwing this idea out there for all, with the XY chromosome, that would like to join us this Fall for a little fun. Wicked is showing at the Orpheum Theatre in San Francisco.

We are looking at sometime in September so that everyone that would like to come has time to save up some money. We are looking at a Saturday show so a Matinee @ 2PM or the evening showing @ 8PM. This would give everyone time to get to San Francisco and have some time to play around on the Wharf and what not, and maybe even drop the "crazy" ones off at Alcatraz :)

Prices are as follows:

Orchestra/Loge $99
Mezzanine $99
Balcony $50
Side Balcony $40

+ 10.50 convenience charge

Loge (1st 3 rows of 1st balcony)
Mezzanine (1st Balcony level behind Loge)
Balcony (2nd balcony level)

If we have enough people that would like to go we may be able to get a group discount.

Here are some dates to consider:

9/12/09
9/19/09
9/26/09

If you are interested in coming please leave comments on this post as to what dates would work best for you. We will try to accommodate the date with the most requests, but hey in the end it's me and Petra that will decide - hee hee. We will need to know numbers so that we can plan for tickets and for hotel rooms. Petra is going to try to accommodate all that want to go at her favorite place of employment in the Bay area.

If we are close enough in numbers to get a group rate we may open it up to friends, but lets just start with family members first as we are trying to promote family bonding moments. Geez, I know you have to spend time with family, that is why we add the crazy aunts, sarcastic cousins, and those out of control siblings. Although, if others come there is a disclaimer as we are not responsible for what happens to them. They will be subjected to the same harassment as everyone else, sorry.

We hope that as many that can will join us for some fun cousin, aunt, grandma, crazy people time. It's an entertaining show for sure and you won't regret seeing it! Please join us!




Disclaimer:

Yeah, I know it is kind a scary that Petra and I are trying to plan something. So if it blows up you can't really blame us.
