Happy Father's Day

A great big thanks to Kyle for being a FANTASTIC father! Another great big thanks to Jesse and Curtis for being fantastic fathers as well. We are incredibly blessed to have so many good fathers in our lives.

We had a unique Father's Day in that we got to have both of our fathers with us for most of the day. We had to speak in church, so we invited both to come. I've decided we should speak in church more often because it was so nice letting Jason's grandmas entertain him. Kyle and I got to listen to the whole sacrament meeting. After church both sets of parents stayed and had dinner with us.

Lucky Kyle got yard tools for Father's Day. Now we can work in our yard more, which is a good thing, right?



I love my rose bush.

Summertime, When the Living is Easy

For Mother's Day my mom, my sisters, and I had a girl's weekend. We started on Friday night with dinner at Pei Wei and then shopping at Nordstrom Rack. Then we stayed at a Marriott in Salt Lake. Saturday we shopped all day long. We relished being able to shop without having to tote along kids or husbands. My mom bought us these cute cardigans to help us all remember the occasion. I love my mom and my sisters! Wish Megan and Natalie could have been there, and that Karren would have stayed.



Kyle and I have enjoyed doing bar-b-ques in our backyard, now that we have both. Here are some pictures I took when Kyle's family was over. It was neat because we had the 4 generations of Robbins boys together.




Jason is a lot messier these days because he loves feeding himself. Here he is enjoying a cookie.


He LOVES playing in the sand.


Now we have to bathe him more often because he gets so dirty from food and sand.


Jason is obsessed with balls. He says "ball" all the time. He calls everything with a round shape a "ball," whether it be a balloon, a helmet, a Chinese lantern, a round sign in the distance, or sometimes even a blueberry. This boy is happiest when he is playing with a ball. My parents brought over all my childhood toys that had been boxed up. I went through the boxes and found my old ball collection. Jason was in heaven when I gave it to him. He sat and played by himself for about 10 minutes, which is a record for him.


I know this blog is forever long, but keep reading below; Kyle tells a really good story.

A Story

Jason takes after his parents because he loves books. The other day I caught him in his room "reading" his books by the bookshelf. I thought he looked so cute that I decided to take a picture:


and then he noticed me:


He decided he would rather play with the camera and headed my way:


Can I have a turn?


Please?
