About three weeks ago we headed up to Utah for my nephew Tyler's wedding. Randy had to work and I didn't want to miss the wedding so the boys and I loaded up and headed out. It was funny because I got A LOT of comments saying how crazy I was to drive 5 hours by myself with the boys. I have always just thought they are my kids and I try not to let them slow me down too much. They were GREAT on the ride up and back!! I just packed a cooler with drinks and snacks and you can't forget movies.( What did we ever do without portable DVD players!) We only had to stop once on the way up for gas and a potty break and the same on the way back. I stayed with my brother Wayne and his wife Dina. They were wonderful to me and the boys! This is a picture of Wayne and Trenton making breakfast Saturday morning.
We decided to go bowling after breakfast! Sounds so sweet and innocent doesn't it. When you factor in a two year old without a nap that thinks every turn is HIS, not so much fun! Trent and Brayden had a great time and Jaxon was thrilled when it was his turn but he would scream and fight with me until it was his turn again. It was a good thing that Uncle Wayne ordered some french fries with ranch that kept him busy for a minute!!
That night was the reception. I never realized how scary it is to bring three crazy boys to a nice reception. They had it decorated so pretty and some wonderful desserts lined the refreshment table. That was a disaster waiting to happen. So we steered clear of that and Grandpa helped us find the toys in the nursery!
When I had visited with all of the family for a few seconds I decided I should take these guys somewhere to burn some of their energy. We went to McDonald's of course! Luckily Felicia and Joe came with us which was a win win situation. I was able to visit with them since I don't get to see my Felich much since she got married and the boys absolutely love to be around them. It was one of the highlights of the trip. I think we stayed there for about two hours till the boys faces were red and their energy level was lowered.
Getting together with my family is always so much fun. It wouldn't have been a Robbins function if we didn't play some Aggravation!! Friday night and Saturday night we had LATE NIGHTS of Aggravation fun! Thanks so much to Wayne and Dina for opening their home to me and my CRAZY boys it was nice to be able to visit and spend time with them. We also had to make a stop to Uncle Dale and Aunt Tamara's. A Utah trip would not be complete without it. The boys love to see their cows and dogs and love the playroom there. We also stopped on the way home to see Grandpa and Grandma Robbins in Payson. I got a really cute picture with Grandpa great, Grandpa and the boys.

Boy or Girl????
Some of you know that we went in for an ultrasound today! Drum roll please............................. we are having a BOY!!! No I am not joking! My husband can't make anything but BOYS! I have to admit I was shocked and a little sad, I thought that I could at least have one girl. I still can't imagine myself with a girl but I just feel like I am missing out by not getting to experience. I know that everyone says that girls are so hard I guess I just wanted to find out for myself. I can try again is what some of you are thinking, but I can't the Drs. won't let me have anymore after this one. This will be my fourth c-section so this will be it. Okay enough whining! Now I need help coming up with a name. All of my boys names end in N so I need to come up with a name that I love that ends in an N. The only ones I kind of like are Peyton and Talan. I am not in love with either so give me your suggestions.

Free Two Year Old!
Free two year old, anyone interested? This week was one of those weeks with him. I was talking to one of my sister in laws and she said that pregnant women have a hard time with there kids.Not because they are hormonal but because then it makes us question why are we even having another one I can't even control the ones I have! This is how I felt this week. The other day he woke up at 7:00(way too early for me) and I heard him singing, " so, I a rock "-- translation- So What I am a Rock Star. That is the attitude I got from him all DAY! Today he was in time out, no lie, 10 times before we went to Trenton's game at noon. Do you think I need to change my parenting strategy with him! :) I guess I really won't give him away because he can be so dang cute but when his older brothers are afraid of him I think something is wrong! This is a picture of him on his birthday not wanting to get in his car seat.

Jaxon David Turner
Today is Jaxon's 2nd Birthday. Time goes by so fast, why can't we cherish it more? He was born at 8:02 am weighing 7 lbs 4 oz and 20 inches long. He was my smallest baby thus far and you would never know it now. There is only a 10 pound difference between him and Brayden. He can out eat both Trenton and Brayden any day. He has been such a joy for us. Each of our boys have their own distinct personalities, Jaxon is no different. He cracks us up daily and also makes me crazy daily. At the end of the day there is no possible way to stay mad at that cute little face!! He loves to play with his brothers and is heartbroken when they are not here. The other night they were all getting ready for Brayden's first baseball practice. He ran and got a hat of Brayden's put it on his head then ran to get his flip flops on. You should have seen his poor little face when all of his brothers and his dad walked out the door without him. He fell to his knees and sobbed at the door. We don't know what we would do without him he is the highlight of all of our lives!!! Happy Birthday Jaxon we love you!!!
This was a slide show I had made for him a couple of weeks after he was born and I thought I would share.
How could you not love this face!?!?!?!?!?

Twins?!?!?!?
I went to the doctor for my first appointment on Monday and as she was checking me she said, " your a little big, are you sure of your last period?" I told her I was ABSOLUTELY SURE! She then proceeded to tell Randy and I that she wanted us to come in the next day for an ultrasound to check the due date and to make sure there was only one baby in there!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME I THOUGHT RANDY WAS GOING TO HAVE A PANIC ATTACK RIGHT THEN AND THERE. Needless to say we didn't get much sleep that night and we were both in a daze. I told Randy if they tell us this is twins I am going to need somebody to come and pick us up from the doctors because I wouldn't be able to drive home and neither would he. No need to fear we are not pregnant with twins there is just one beautiful baby in there!!!!!WHAT A RELIEF!!!! The ultrasound tech said that I measured exactly right and to stick to my due date of August 25th.
Now for Valentine's Day!!!
When you think of Valentine's Day you picture romance, love, being alone with your spouse and celebrating how much you love each other. Well this was so far off of our description of Valentine's Day. Ours was spent with our four wonderful boys in a big pink dome! Yes, that would be Circus Circus.
With me being pregnant I can't go on any rides so while Randy, Cameron, Trenton, & Brayden were doing this...........
Jaxon and I did this........
IT WAS A GREAT NIGHT JUST NOT FOR VALENTINE'S!!! Oh well when Randy makes it up to me it will be good!!!

He Has Grown!
I know that when you look at Brayden you don't think that he ever grows. Well, I was browsing through these old pictures on my computer and I ran across this cute picture of him and his buddy Maddox. It was taken in March of 2006! I thought it was so cute and thought I would share it.
