Without going into much detail because it is a long story after Rob's first Kemo treatment he became so sick and his body was so full of infection he passed away July 25 2010 . As hard as it was to let him go we know he's not suffering any more. I believe he is still with us today and every day. Rob will truly be so missed by all of us and all who was lucky to know him.
Rob and Opal were inseparable they did everything together. They worked in the same building in Provo so they road to work together and went to lunch every day together then of course road home together. Even when they weren't working they still went everywhere together. Going to Disneyland is a all the time thing in our family any time some one in the family was going Rob and Opal would be there ready to go along. And even when no one was going Rob and Opal would go just the 2 of them . There favorite thing to do was to buy a treat and find a bench and people watch LOL... We were lucky to have gone with Rob and Opal for our first time to Disney World January 2009. Rob and Opal were the prefect example of how I want to be with my spouse.Rob was a really good cook.. he was the cook in the national guard, my dad remembers his cooking when he was in the guard. Robs specialties were his spaghetti and my most favorite was his gravy :)

Rob gave himself the name "GRUMPY" all on his own by buying a "GRUMPY" fanny pack. Rob by far was no "GRUMPY" that's what makes it so funny . Rob used that fanny pack on Disneyland trips to carry around the camera, he loved to take pictures especially of the grand kids having a good time. This picture is of Rob on Christmas last year (2009) with his "GRUMPY" sweater that Opal gave him and the stuffed animal Devan and Nicole gave him. Rob by far was no "GRUMPY" he tryed to be but deep down he was a softy. Rob was really good at holding a strait face when he teased but I could always tell when he wasn't serious:)
Chace ~Jen & Ryker on this sad July day...I was 30 weeks along with Jenacee when Rob passed and Ryker was 4 years old and Chace had just turned 29 the month before and I was 28 years old.
Chace and I with his sweet mom Opal
Awesome grumpy floral arrangement

Rob and Opal came camping with us on memorial weekend 2010. We went to Oak City were our friends Tom and Sarah live. Scott ,Susan , Tyson and Kaycee also went camping with us ,we all had a really good time. chace was surprised when Rob wanted to take his motorcycle for a spin sense it had been a long time sense Rob had been on one . Rob was a pro he was like a little kid :)
What cute BUGS!!!! Rob & Ryker at Disneyland at the Bugs life theater.
I LOVE this picture of Rob & Ryker just chilling as we were standing in line for a ride at Disney World.At 37 weeks I had a amniocentesis done to see if her lungs were ready if they are they were going to start me a few days later. Well our baby girl was not quite done cooking her lungs were not mature the number had to be 50 or higher and her number was 35!!! so they put me off a week. On the morning of September 23 I got up and jumped in the shower and while I was in the shower the hospital called and Chace answered they told him that we needed to be at the hospital at 9:15 am . I had a little over a hour to get ready . I was glad the nurse said I could have something small for breakfast before I came so I had a small bowl of cereal and we were off

The waiting game ......Fun ,Fun I'm glad my mom brought Ryker by the hospital to see me :)
From start to finish was a little over 8 hours and I only had to push for 2 minutes:)
After she was born they layed her on my belly so I could get a good look at my sweet girl .. It was so emotional seeing and hearing her cry for the first time ..

I had a awesome doctor who took really good care of me my hole pregnancy and did a great job delivering her

Ryker was so cute when her saw his little sister for the first time he had the biggest grin on his face when he came walking in with his dad. Then we sat him up on the bed and let him meet his new baby sister that he had waited a long time for ...his first words were "aww she's so cute" It was truly a moment I'll never forget ...I love my 2 babies
Then we let everyone in after our little family had a moment... everyone couldn't believe all her full head of dark hair !!!!


I love my little family ... Jenacee already has her dad wrapped around her little finger :)

After spending 2 nights in the hospital were ready to go home ....
