Random Pictures

Here are a few random pictures that I just wanted to post. They are little old but I had to post them cause I just think they are dang cute.


This is the first day of 2nd grade. It's hard to believe that my boy is that old. It sure makes you feel old when you have to go to parent teacher conference. Luckily so far it has been all good reports. He is such a good kid.

This is our sweet and sassy little B-na. It makes me so sad that she is growing up so fast. Even though she is technically a toddler I think I will be calling her my baby forever. Brendan is I think 99% sure that she is our last and I am more like 89%. I just love the stage that she is in right now, and I don't want her to grow up. I just love, love, love this little one. She brings so much fun and joy in our home.

These two are of Kyra's princess pictures. In Scipio on the 24th of July they have a Miss Scipio. This year it was Brendan's sister, Tara. Kyra and her cousin Gracie were her attendants. She loved dressing up, getting her hair done, wearing her tiara, and getting all the attention. She is such a typical little girl. It scares us for when she gets older. We are thinking of locking her up until she is 21. I know I am her mom and maybe a little biased, but I just think she is beautiful.

These next ones are of Halloween this year. I know I am way late, but I wanted to show them anyways. We had a lot of fun this year, and I just think they were so cute!

Brenna was a little Kitty this year. She was so dang cute! She does the best Meow sound ever.

Braxton was a Storm Trooper this year. He is so into Star Wars right now. When did he get so big that he now does the "rock on" sign? Or when did I get so old that I am not even sure that's what it means?

Kyra was a little Monkey this year. We always have a Halloween Party at our ward were we have sloppy joes and play games. One of the highlights of the party is when the Primary kids go up on stage and they say their name and what they are dressed up as. Well Kyra gets up there and says "My name is Kyra and I am a...." She then turns to me and asks "What am I again". I thought that was pretty funny. I guess maybe she had a little stage fright.

This one is of Brenna all pooped out. She was so tired she couldn't take it anymore. Of course her dad was watching her. I don't think it's fair that it should be that easy for him.

Date Night?

Brendan's friend Cody Hare started to do MMA fights which is like Ultimate Fighting at a lower level. Anyways he had a fight this Saturday at the Blackhawk arena. I am not a big fan of the sport, but we don't get to go out by ourselves that much so we got the Grandparents to babysit and I went along. Cody didn't win but the match up wasn't very fair. Anyways He didn't know that since I went with him to the fight he has to go with me to go see "Twilight". He doesn't think he is going, but we'll see. I remembered to bring my camera along because I was planning on blogging about our little date night, if you can call it that, but my lovely husband would not take a picture. He keeps telling me not to post any pictures of him. He reminded me that it is illegal and I told him to sue me. He is being so weird about it. So anyways since he was being so difficult I told him I was going to dedicate a post just to him with lots of pictures. So stayed tuned.


I do want to tell a funny story that happened right after the deer hunt. If you know me you know that I hate the deer hunt it's because I do not have a husband from July till the end of the hunt. You can tell when the hunting season is coming cause all the men stop shaving and they start to grow their hunting scruff. I personally don't like facial hair so luckily Brendan is not allowed to have too much facial hair at work so he hasn't been able to grow his hunting scruff in the years past. This year was a different story. He had a whole month off of work and yep he didn't shave that whole time. He of course waited till the last day to get his deer and the next day he had to work. So that night he shaved after all the kids were in bed and he was already gone to work when they got up. When Brendan got home the next day it was a little different than usual. The girls are alway so excited to see Daddy they always run to him and give him a big hug. Well this morning when he walked through the door Kyra looks at him and instead of running to him she asks "Are you my daddy" He either looked totally different to her with his beard gone or he had been gone way too much hunting. But its all good now in the Robins home we have our dad and husband back at least until next year.



He is going to kill me for posting another picture of him, but I thought you should see a visual of this lovely hunting scruff. (Love ya babe please don't kill me)

What a Party

Braxton's birthday was at the beginning of the month but he wanted to wait until his cousins from Nevada could be there before he had his party. I am probably the worst mom, but this is the first friends party that we have given him. We were able to talk him out of it every other year. I didn't even try this year I think he was due for one. When we were writing out the invitations we invited quite a few kids not thinking that they would all come because I didn't want him to leave anyone out, didn't want any kids getting their feelings hurt. Well all of them but two came, there were 21 kids there. Good thing we had it at the pool.

After they swam we went outside and opened presents and had cake and ice cream. You can't tell by the picture but they were all freezing. Not very nice of me to have them go outside when they were all wet and it wasn't that warm, but there were too many kids to do it inside. Once they got running around I don't think any of them cared, except maybe their moms.

The next day Braxton and his cousin Braydon, who is just one month older, got baptized. These two boys have been such good buddys since they were born. I am so proud of them, and their dads did such a good job too. It was such an awesome day!

We Now Have A Blog

OK, So I think I finally figured this thing out (and all by myself). I have had so much fun checking out everyone elses blog so I thought I would give it a try. Just thought I would give a quick update on whats been going on in our lives. Brendan is working in West Valley City as a Fire Fighter/Paramedic. He loves his job and I love seeing him in his uniform. I work with my dad at his butcher shop. A lot of people are surprised that I work with hanging meat and blood, but it really isn't bad and it has a lot of perks. Braxton is now 8 years old and he just got baptized. He is in the second grade and is doing awesome in school. We really hope that schoolwork continues to come easy for him. Kyra is now 3 and she is our little princess. She is such a girly girl, but she is not afraid to get dirty. Brenna is 19 months and she is our baby. She is now figuring out a whole bunch of words and her personality is so funny. She is our little spit fire. Our life is full of chaos and my house is almost always a mess, but we are enjoying it because before we know it it will be quiet and empty. I hope you enjoy following our blog.
