Romriell House

ParTAY On the WaTer

2010-08-19T13:05:00.000-07:00

Scott and Branson in the water getting ready to ski again...Branson tried water skiing and wakeboarding this summer and was such a good sport!! He is gonna be good at whatever he sets his mind to he is very athletic!!!
Anytime there was a free minute Branson would be jumping in the water!! This kid a a fish!!!!
We got these Kid's ski's at the begining of the season and the boys wanted to be pulled around on them through the house because they thought it was so cool and it became a frequent workout for me!

This was his favorite place to be on the boat......all the time.....Man I love this little guy!
Scott skiing:)
The one and the only..........ME!
Looking quite fine.....YUM!
Just before Eli and I got in the water for the first time before trying the ski.......he got up for one second and when he fell his face got wet and he absolutley hates getting his face wet and got really upset and would go again....until the next time we went boating:)
Eli surfing.......kinda!!!
To sum up what we have been up to this summer.......boating!!! We go at least 2 times a week and 3 if we are lucky, if I'm not working and scott gets home before 5 you can bet we are at the lake, living the good life....which later on turns into the sore life:( haha

I'm a workin' Mama!

2010-06-01T18:41:00.000-07:00

ts has been awhile since my last post.... and for multiple reasons.... moving, baby, and moving again...and last but not least I'm working again!!! So a little catch up on our lives..... Emmet is 6 months old and I can't believe how fast the time has gone...he is chubby just like his bothers and is another carbon copy of his daddy! He is rolling over like crazy and gets really upset when he cant get to what he wants. He has the cutest personality and I cant imagine life without him:) WE are also moving again...but we are still staying in Washington and are so excited...we found a cute little house and its on 5 acres and it just awesome and we cant wait to move!!! The last thing we have been up to is me getting a job! I work at a new hospital in the Emergency Room and I love it so far!!! Its been alot of work but I really enjoy what I do!!!! is gonna be out new house...on July 1st and cannot wait to move!!!!
Did I mention we bought a boat??? Let the good times roll!!! To cute for words.......
My parents visited us and they are on the ferry to seattle with the boys! Just have to say I love this pic!!!!
Does Life get any better??? I have a great family !
Emmett just makes myy heart jump everytime I see him!!

I just love this picture...It just says so much about how much Eli adores Branson:)
Last but not least, This gorgeous little baby boy...Im still in awe at how blessed I am to have 3 healthy handsome little boys!!!
I

Happy Birthday Eli!!!!

2010-02-06T15:16:00.001-08:00

Can't believe its been three years..........where has the time gone????? Everyone who meets him adores him......and his smile lights up the room!

Eli loves his brother.....so much he hates to sleep with out him and when I check on them before I go to bed it usually looks something like this:)

He loves Emmett and gives him the most tender kisses!

He loves wearing hats.....but only for about an hour......and daddy of Branson have to be wearing one too.

His motorcycle has over a 100 miles on it.....literally, this one started leaning hard to the right so we had to get him a new blue one but he made us keep this one to just for "back up" purposes!!

Just before we left Hawaii he learned how to ride a bike. He loves those little green crocks too!!!

Just plain cute!!!

I love this picture because it looks like he was running a like warp speed or something:) haha

Eli.......We love you more than words can say and our lives are better because we have you!!!!!!

We have MOVED!!!!!!!

2010-02-06T15:05:00.001-08:00

We are official residents of Washinton state!!! We live in Bremerton, Wa in Jackson Park (military housing) and our house is really close to the elementary school and we have a huge playground in our backyard! I love it because I can keep a close eye on the boys and still get some work done in the house and they have a way to get out all of there "energies" as Eli would say. They also have a beautiful walking path in our housing that is right on the pudget sound and it is gorgeous!!!! Scott is here and we are loving the fact that we can all live in the same house together again!! It has been so nice to have him around again and not worry about him leaving...at least for a while anyways! Branson is loving Kindergarten and we get to walk him to school everyday and Eli has been riding his trusty "motorcycle" to pick him up everyday! We have enjoyed our time in Washington so far and are looking forward to exploring the area as soon as we have got the boxes under control!

Emmett is 6 weeks old!

2010-01-02T21:21:00.000-08:00

6 weeks old today!!!!

*He loves to smile....and I never stop loving it!!

*He weigh's around 10 pounds and has the cutest double chin I have ever seen:)

*He sleeps 5 hours at night... I'm hoping sometime soon we can say the WHOLE night!

* He loves to lay on the floor and watch his brothers do puzzles!

*He loves to eat

*He can reach out and touch brightly colored toys and Eli and Branson take every opportunity to play with him on the floor!

*He never cries unless it's time to eat! He has the best temperment and I'm so grateful! He has brought so much love and happiness into our home and is doted on by every aunt, uncle, cousin and grandparent! He is one loved little guy!

Surrounded by LOVE!!

2010-01-02T18:44:00.000-08:00

This is the first time Eli was able to see and hold Emmett and he could not wait. As soon as we got Emmett out of the car seat Eli ran (literally) to the couch so he could hold him first!

Me holding my precious bundle of joy!

Scott with his grandpa and his wife Edith so... Emmett's great grandpa Romriell.

This is the first time Branson was able to hold him because of the rules in the hospital! The boys were so excited to meet there new brother!

Uncle Jared lovin' up on his new nephew

Daddy gettin' to know his new little man!

My dad, my grandpa Cornelison, Emmett and me. 4 generations.....

Grandma Great (as we call her)

Emmett's first visit with Santa Clause:)

All of Emmetts cousins on the Cornelison side of the family.....my nieces have hardly been able to contain themselves and have yet to let Emmett out of their site.

Daddy comes home from deployment and...23 hours later our baby is born!!!!!!

2009-12-05T10:06:00.001-08:00

Well it has been a crazy 2 weeeks!!! Scott came home from deployment early friday morning and I had a scheduled c-section on Monday, Nov 23 but.....i went into labor on Friday night/early Saturday morning and he was born at 6:18am on November 21!! He weighed 6lb 14oz and was 20 and 1/2 inches long! I was so suprised because I have never gone into labor before but sooooooo grateful that Scott made it home just in time!! I Still had him via c-section and it all went really well.

I look like a train wreck in this picture but this is the first time I was able to hold my sweet little bundle of JOY!!

This is the first time Scott held him and as you can see I'm still getting stitched up on the table!!

I love this picture because he has his hand is over his face and during my pregnancy I had 8 ultrasounds beccause they were worried about his growth and we NEVER saw his face!!! Even now when we wrap him to go to bed we have to leave his hands out because he will not sleep if they are not by his face!!!

When he was first born we didn't see a very strong resemblance between him and the older 2 boys but as he gets older and has gained some weight he looks just like Branson and Eli who are carbon copies of their daddy!!!

Last but not least we named him....Emmett Andrew Romriell. It has been 2 weeks from today that he was born and it has been so amazing! He is truly an amazing baby that rarely cries unless he is hungry and he has an appetite of a Lion!! I think is going to be just a chubby as his older brothers!!! I feel overwhelmed with gratitude that I have another healthy son!!! Branson and Eli LOVE him so much and Eli will hold him any chance he gets and Branson is such a good helper and is so kind and gentle with him!!! Our house is full of love and we couldn't be Happier!!!! Life is good:)

Pickin' some Pumkins!!

2009-10-31T15:38:00.000-07:00

Eli started Pre-school and one of his field trips was to the pumpkin patch and the boys loved every minute of it!

I couldnt figure out how to crop Eli out of the pic.. I need someone that is blog savvy to show me how to be a bloggin diva!

Branson was upset because he said I was takin' too many pictures and this is him rebelling!

As I looked back over the blog the last couple of years (cant believe its been that long since I started bloggin) I realized this is as close to scrap bookin' as I'm ever gonna get so I made a new resloution to post more blogs!

Gleaning Taters'

2009-10-29T14:44:00.000-07:00

Branson and I riding in the back of the truck while going thru the fields!!!

Branson was really good at finding potatoes and would usually run ahead of everyone to find the biggest one's!

Do you see how little his potatoes are? He kept saying he was picking Eli size potatoes and if they were really small they were the "new baby's potatoes"!!

Branson and Granma Brenda!!

Eli......and NO I did not help him pick out that outfit:)

Time to update the blog!!! We are loving Idaho and have really enjoyed spending so much time with the grandparents and cousins!!!! My uncle owns a farm and let us come glean the potatoes out of the field after the harvesting trucks had gone thru and the boys loved every second of it!!!Our new little man is coming in about 31/2 weeks and I will try and post pics of my belly soon!!! Stay Tuned!

Aloha Idaho!!!

2009-08-27T10:47:00.000-07:00

My handsome husband!!! Yum...he is just so stinkin cute!!

Branson brushing up on his cannon ball skills:)

Me 61/2 months preggers!!!

Eli totally not caring about all of the sand that our in his crackers!!

Well....Today is our official last day Hawaii residents.....so for everyone in Idaho.....get ready to party with the one and only!!!! I will miss everyone so much and I am so grateful to all of the people that we have met and all of the friends we have made in Hawaii....We will miss you guys so much!!!! More than anything I am going to miss my husband more than he will ever know over the next few months and am trying to keep my crying and emotional breakdowns to a minimum which is hard because you know how pregnant people get !!! These are pics of our last few days on the island!! We thought that we should party it to the max!!!

Little man 4D style :)

2009-08-19T11:09:00.000-07:00

I'm Leaving back to Idaho and Scott will be leaving on Deployment so we decided to do a 4D ultrasound of the little man before he left so he could have some fun pics of the unborn to look at while underway. The boys came with us to the ultrasound place and loved looking at the baby! Eli seems the most excited (partly because he has no idea whats coming!!!). We had the big ultrasound done (where they measure everything and make sure all the parts are there) about 2 weeks ago and he was sitting breach with his legs and hands above his head and sure enuf.......2 weeks later the little man is in the exact same position!!! During the ultrasound we tried every position to get him to move some of his extremeties but to no avail..he is one stubborn little man!!! Hopefully that's not a sign of things to come!!!

7 Amazing Years!!!!!

2009-08-07T21:45:00.000-07:00

This weekend is Scott and I's 7 year Wedding Anniversary!!!! Holy Smokes!! Time has really flown by and I'm starting to feel old!!! I have been married 7 years!! I remember when we were newlyweds and thinking that being married for 5 years would be so long and now its been 7!! I feel so blessed to be able to say that with each passing year our lives only get better and my love for Scott grows in ways I never thought possible.I'm so excited when I think about all of the good times we will have in the future! He is such an amazing man and that treats me like a Queen (most important) and I am so happy each and every morning (well the days he is not out to sea or on duty) to wake up next to him in bed. For the first time ever Scott and I are going on a little Honeymoon alone to Kauai for the weekend and I cannot wait!!!! We are leaving the boys with grandma Denise (so gratful to her for flying to Hawaii to watch them and to party with us for a couple of weeks) and we are gonna go have some crazy fun!!!!! Yeeeeeehaaaaaaa

p.s. the picture is blue because we are under the water in a submarine!!

ON THE MOVE!!!! Goodbye Hawaii!!!!!!!

2009-07-24T20:48:00.000-07:00

We have been on the Island over a year and a half sooooooo naturally its about time for us to say Goodbye to Hawaii!!! We are sad to leave our friends and the lives we have created here and will miss everyone a ton, but very excited to move to Idaho for a few months!!!! We could technically stay here until the end of the year but Scott is leaving for deployment at the end August or beggining of September and won't be home until a couple of days (literally) if we are lucky.......before baby # 3 is born and then we would be moving a couple of weeks after that. The reality of moving 6,000 miles across the ocean 2 weeks after a c-section with a newborn and 2 boys was a little daunting and being an ocean apart from any family the last 3 months of my pregnancy just didnt sound like much fun so naturally.... I decided to move home (Idaho) when Scott leaves on deployment. We are sooooo excited!!!! We haven't lived around family since we were newlyweds....I think this is going to be a great chance for the boys to get to know and love there cousins, aunts, uncles and most importantly grandparents much better!!!!! It will also be very nice to have some help wathcing the boys when I am 9 months pregnant!!!! We will be in Idaho until Februaryish..and then we will be on the move again to Washington state where we will hopefully live for a few of years! The longest we have lived anywhere in the last 3 years so we are getting excited to put down some roots of sorts...... Branson is starting Kindergarten in Idaho and is very excited!! Eli can't wait to sit in the Hot Tub with grandpa (such a sport!) and eat string cheese and Diet Coke (a tradition they started on our last trip home:::) {pictured above} Did I mention they love squirt guns too???? :)Anyone who lives in Idaho plan to PARTY with me!!!!!!!! (as much as a pregnant lady can)!!!!!!

100% Boy!!

2009-07-02T13:16:00.000-07:00

We just got our 19 weeks ultrasoud done and it is 100% boy!! We are very excited!!! We just can's think of very many names!! We are open for suggestions!!!!

I'm Pregnant!!!! Yahooooooooo!!!!!

2009-05-24T21:53:00.000-07:00

First of all, its been forever since my last post for a couple of reasons....... ONE Im pregnant and feel like junk most of the time and have absolutley NO energy!! Second our computer (all voo-doo by the way) got some virus that would not let us connect to the internet!!! Freakin nerds!! Why can they not find something better to do than create viruses that destroy computers??? RIDICLOUS!!!!! anyways, Now down to the nitty gritty details about baby Romriell number 3!

I am now almost 14 weeks along and I am due November 30! Scott comes home from his deployment mid to end of November so perfect timing (if this little baby doesen't get anxious to met his brothers!) We just had our first ultrasound because I have NO patience and I wanted to see our little baby and make sure everything is ok and not expecting to see the gender but what to do we see???????

All the makings of another mini-me of SCOTT!!! A Third little BOY!!!!!! Although there is a chance that the "swelling" between the legs could go down it has a very good chance of being a litte man!!!! Holy Smokes!!!! I was convinced it was a little girl!!! Although I thought it was gonna be a girl I love being a mom to my 2 boys and they are soooooo stinkin handsome, how could I possibly be upset about having another Smart, Handsome, little boy!!???? We are so excited for this new little edition to our home! When Eli saw the pic of the baby on the TV during the ultrasound he started freakin out and was soooooo excited! All he wants to do is look at my bellyand say baby in mommy belly!!!!!! Branson has been telling us the entire time it's a boy(I kept telling him its a girl but he would adamently so i'm wrong) and when we saw it was a boys he started yelling I'm Right and your Wrong...You Loose!!!! Im so grateful for all of my boys and one Hot Daddy!! I love them more than words can describe and cannot wait to meet my third little boy!!!!!

DaY of FuN in the SUN!!!!!!!!!

2009-03-31T16:23:00.000-07:00

On the rare, (never happened before afternoon) Scott came home from work at around 2ish so we packed up and went to the pool! The pic to the right if Branson's first time off the high dive!!!! He was a little hesistant at first so i bribed him with a piece of gum...(just like his mom at heart) and then he jumped!!! and then jumped again and again, he is such a fish!!!!!! I love the pic of Eli so proud on the diving board...he is just plain cute...(im sorry, HANDSOME!!)

Scott bought a new camera that is waterfproof and so we were playing with and these are some of the pics we took!! I think the one of Branson's face is pretty cool lookin (and i took it!)

Branson is a STAR KEIKI!!!!!!

2009-03-10T22:33:00.001-07:00

Well.....It has been sooooo long since i last posted!!! Our camera acutally broke right after Christmas and so we finally got a new one (well about 6 weeks ago) and now I'm back to my picture takin ways!!! Branson attends a Military Private School called Navy Hale Keiki, which is funny because translated into english means Navy White Kid!!!!! (Ya gotta love the Hawaiin Lingo!!!) Each month they give out awards to good students and this month Branson got one and we are sooooooooooo proud of him!! He is such an amazing boy and I know he will grow to an amazing man!! The pictures just above the paragraph are in the common area of the school and each morning all the grades gather and and say the pledge to the flag and then sing " The star spangled banner". While watching them perform their morning routine I was very emotinal because I realized these kids at such a young age have already sacraficed so much for this beautiful counry. Many family's including ours have sacrificed having a Father or Mother around for the better part of there lives. Scott works very long hours (about 100-110 hours a week) when his submarine is in port and he was gone over 8 months last year and has been gone for over 6 weeks since January. I have a lot of respect for military kids as they really do bear alot of burden to help support their parents to fight for our country!! WOW, well back on track. We are soooooo proud Branson and i feel sooooo blessed that he sets such a good example for Eli and is so kind, tender and patient with him because Eli is generaly hot on his tracks following him around the house trying to be just like him!!!

P.S. I have to confess that i have only had 2 hours of sleep today because i worked last night and so if my post is a bit discombobulated (how's that for a word???!!! I'm not sure if it even is one but ya get my point!) I'm using sleep deprivation as a excuse!!!

Fun Family Pics!!

2009-01-26T00:15:00.000-08:00

I love these pics but don't really fall into a "catagory" if that makes sense? I decided to make a post of some of my favorite pics!
So.... Branson has a very unique sense of style as you can tell from this picture!! The cowboy boots are classic, he doesn't wear them everyday but sometimes just gets the wild hair and has to wear them!! On more than one occasion they have been worn to the beach...practical??? not so much but..... I cannot reason with a very stubborn 4 year old a mission !!!!

Just a cute pic of Eli!

This pretty much sums up the family!!! When we were trying to take this picture Branson just kept on playing and it turned out to be sooo amazing!! I love it!!!

Branson Chritmas Program in Hawaii!!!

2009-01-09T17:51:00.000-08:00

I love the headbands!!

He is just so stinkin adorable!!!

As you can see 1 week before Chritmas it is sunny and in the 80's!!!! This sounds crazy and ridiclous but I am soooooo sick of the sun!!!!!! I love it when it rains because well.........there's no sun!!! Its a double edged sord because power in Hawaii is very fickle (to say the least) and a good down pour is likely to cause a power outage for about 8 hours and if a lighting storm happens....well, power is just out of the question!!! We had a horrible lightning storm (according to the locals, i had to work the night of the "horrible storm) which included all of about 5-10 lightning strikes (no kidding!) and the power was off at the hospital ( which made my night shift much much harder!!)for 10 hours and at our house for about 16 hours!!!!!! I can't believer it!!!! Anyways I just had to vent (i think its healthy!) sooooooo back to the Play, Branson was so excited and it was sooooo much fun to be there! It was sad that Daddy wasn;t able to be there( he was under the ocean in a submarine, but luckily made it home just before christmas!!) Branson is such a great boy and I know will turn into an amazing man!! He is soooo kind and generous and I am so blessed to call him my son!!! He will bring a smile to anyone's face!! Sorry the video is kinda...ok alot blurry but....I'm also posting pics so you can see he awesome outfit!!!

P.S. I am totally aware that the video is not 100% captivating and it may not be Oscar worthy but being sooooo far away from family this is the best way for everyone.....(pretty much Grandparents) to keep up with us so just keep that in mind while watching the star-studded clip!!

OcEaN EXpediTion!!!!!

2008-12-17T20:40:00.001-08:00

Another adventure we did while my mom was visiting was going out on a boat and went around a little island and then came back. The best part about this little "expedition" was the boat ride it got pretty rough and on the front of the boat it was kinda like a roller coaster ride! (as close as your gonna get in Hawaii anyways!!)

My mom, Branson and Me!!! It was really beautiful to see Hawaii from a different perspective!

FaMilY Pic's at BeaCh

2008-11-30T16:03:00.000-08:00

Scott and I got toegether with some good friends and decided that we wanted to take some family pics at the beach for our chirstmas cards so we took each other's family pics and they turned out really good!!! I was so excited!

Branson, i think, was trying to impersonate one his many favorite superheroes!!!

I took this picture and it turned out AMAZING!!!

I am going to send out Christmas cards for the first time EVER! SO, if ya want one give me your address in the comment section!!!!

SceNic HaWaii

2008-11-16T12:59:00.001-08:00

When My mom came out to visit we went to Kualoa Farms and we went on a Jungle Expedition and an ocean voyage and theses are the pics from our Jungle Expedition!! It was beautiful!!!!

My mom thinks this should be our christmas card pic alothough I think Scott and I are leaning towards one on the beach!!!!!! If we are gonna be stuck on this rock might as well be proud of it!! hahahah

For any LOST fans out there the pond in the pics is where the "LOST Submarine" scenes were filmed!

This is just.........AMAZING.

AtLanTis UndeR the SeA

2008-11-10T10:42:00.000-08:00

One of the best things about living in Hawaii is the fact the visitors can kill 2 birds with one stone! Not only do they get to visit the coolest family ( myself and the boys :) !) but its also a good vacation destination!! My mom came out and took advantage of such a situation! While she was here we went on the Atlantis, which is a submarine with windows ! Genius!! (Why didn't the Navy think of it?!) anyways, they drive? (im not sure what the right term is) around some old reefs/wreckage around Hawaii including a plane wreck, sunken ship and a couple other reefs and it was beautiful!!! The fish were amazing! The Pics are kinda fuzzy because they are being taken through a little window about 100 ft under the ocean!

My Mom and I getting ready to load the ship that will take us to the submarine, Man I love this Lady!!!!!!

The pic above is the bow of the sunken ship!!!

This is the plane wreck and i tried to get the whole plane in it but it wasn't happening! Dang!

This is Scott and I in the Sub about 130 ft deep and we look blue because When you so deep it makes everything look blue ( There is a more scientific reason but.....I forgot.....sorry:)!)

We always welcome visitors so anyways who wants to see Hawaii just let us know!!!!!

CrAsh and BurN!

2008-10-24T00:09:00.000-07:00

Well.......Having 2 little boys.........maybe daredevils.... has its challenges. The biggest one being....safety, they frequently jump of couches, chairs and have moved up to the second step, well for branson like the fourth or fifth....and I wonder if at some point if I should intervene..but boys will be boys right?????

New York CiTy

2008-10-23T17:17:00.000-07:00

Once upon a time......we lived in New York........then..... moved as far away as we could and still live in America which is.....Hawaii. Along the way we made a few pit stops! The picture with all of the heavy machinery is ground zero in New York City. The picture with just Branson is on top of a really tall building (i can't remeber) I didn't go on that excursion........Scott, Momma Romma (scotts mom) and the boys went to the top of this building and I journyed out on my own to shop!!! (after all i was in New York City!) I did get lost and my cell phone died, so I stopped at a less then reputable store and bought a cell phone charger I made friends with a man from Egypt while it was charging! It was an adventure all in its own! The picture with Scott and I..... I have no idea what we are stading in front of!! hahaha I think the thing I love most about the city is haggling for my knock off sunglasses and purses!!!

HiKiNg in HaWaii

2008-10-12T22:03:00.000-07:00

We live in one of the most beautiful states in the country so why not explore it???? We are going on weekly hikes now and are seeing some of the hidden beauty that Hawaii has to offer! AmaZing! This is known as the water-fall hike but as you can see from the pic the water fall is scarce. It is the dry season but soon the rain will pick up and the water fall will be much larger!

Eli in his Easter best!!!

2008-10-07T01:28:00.000-07:00

I think this pic is just so stinkin cute!!!! I feel so blessed to have the most handsome little boys !!!

Happy Late Easter!!!!!

2008-10-07T01:23:00.001-07:00

I know easter was a little while ago but there Pics are just to cute to pass up!!! I have to catch ya'll up on the last 6 months!!!

2008-10-07T01:18:00.000-07:00

This is at Bellows beach and Eli was trying to eat a cookie with sand on it and was getting frustrated that is was so crunchy!!!

Beautiful Bellows beach!!!!!

2008-10-07T00:54:00.000-07:00

Holy smokes!!!! Well after months of going off the blogging radar I have decided its time to start again!!!!!!! I promise i won't wait nearly as long to post the next one!! Life in Hawaii has been great in many ways but has also been the hardest as well. Scott is gone alot and so the boys and i are left exploring by ourselves but we have made some great friends that have helped us through some of the longer deployments!!!

This is a video at bellows beach in Hawaii and I personally think this is the most beautiful beach on the island! This was taken almost 5 months ago but Branson still loves to boogie board and play in the ocean!!! The other kids in the video live on the same street as us and I have become friends with all the moms!!!

Scott and Branson build a fort!!!

2007-12-30T11:37:00.000-08:00

I don't know who enjoyed building the fort more, Scott or Branson???? We have been enjoying the snow and we are really going to miss it!!! We are getting closer to our move date and the reality of moving is starting to kick in. We will really miss New York and all of the people who have opened up there homes and welcomed us into their families. It is with tear filled eyes and heavy hearts that we leave our amazing ward and all of the memebers that make it so special.

Eli's WALKING!!!! (well kinda!)

2007-12-26T11:20:00.000-08:00

Eli took his first steps on Christmas Day!!!! I think he was trying to give us a present!!! He can walk farther than it shows on this video but....... of course when the camera comes out he can't quite do it as well!! but at least ya get the jist!

Crash and Burn, Eli's first ride on a sled!!! YIKES

2007-12-25T19:09:00.000-08:00

As you can see, Eli didn't care much for his first sled ride but ya gotta to try everything at least once!!!

Enjoy the snow while we can!!!!!!

2007-12-25T15:04:00.000-08:00

We are moving to HAWAII!!!!!!! Snow will be a thing of the past and we are trying to make the most of it while we are here. In a couple of weeks we will be slathering our selves in sunscreen and putting on our flip flops to go play on the beautiful beaches of HAWAII!!!

Branson's own Happy Dance!!!

2007-12-04T16:16:00.000-08:00

Time to Eat at the Romriell house. Eli is covered (literally) in spagetti and branson peforms the "Happy Dance!!"

Let it Snow!!!!!!

2007-12-04T15:34:00.000-08:00
