What a Day

What a day for our little two year old! Tracey called and wanted to know if I wanted some free tickets to see the Wiggles. Of course I said yes even though Jaxon doesn't really watch them he loves to dance to music. Well, today was the concert. I had four tickets and couldn't find anyone to go with Jaxon and I so I decided I was going to force Trenton and Brayden into going. I asked them if they wanted to and they both said no it was for babies. I explained to them that they could just go to see how happy Jaxon is while watching it. They agreed but Brayden said he would not DANCE! Then I had a thought to ask Lindsey and Becca if they wanted to go and lucky for my boys they did. We did a little swap that made Trent and Brayden REALLY happy! I took Lindsey and Becca and they got to play with Trevor and Dallin. The concert was so cute! Jaxon loved it and danced and sang even if he didn't know the songs!!! Cute little Becca was memorized by the whole thing but got very excited when the ballerinas came out. We ate popcorn and had drinks and just had a fun time watching how much fun Jaxon was having made it all worth it.

 

After we got home from the concert we decided to go get Jaxon a big boy mattress. Jess and Liz were so kind to give us some bunk beds and we set it up for Jaxon, all we needed was the mattress. We headed out to RC Willey to pick one up. He was so excited as we put his sheets on. He kept handing me the blankets saying, " more mom, more." Once we got it all made he hopped right in it. I think it is the first time that he ever agreed with me to get his pjs on. He has been up oh about 4 times already so daddy is laying down with him as I am writing this. I just hope he comes and wakes me up in the morning and doesn't go downstairs to get into trouble while I am still sleeping!!!!!! What a busy and great day for our cute little Jaxon. He is growing up so fast I need to step back and remind myself to enjoy every moment. That is a hard thing to do but I am trying.

 

Slacker!!

I was going through my pictures on my computer and realized that I never posted my cute little mans preschool graduation! Yes, it was back in May! I love the ABC program they have at Valley View. Trenton went through the preschool there as well and I loved it then and still do. They put on a wonderful graduation for these kids. Randy asked me when we were sitting down waiting for it to start why they would put such a little guy, like Brayden, in the back. Well, Brayden is a little silly and they like to place the performers up in front. He knew all the songs and did great saying his part I was very proud of him. Then they called his name to come and get his diploma! It took him a little while to get up to the front because he had taken off his tie, probably in boredom, and his teacher was trying to get it from him so he could go up and get his diploma. Only Brayden!!! Then we definitely understood why he was in the back. Could you imagine him taking off his tie on the front row and messing around with it!:) Afterwards we took him to McDonalds and let him play for a little while. As he was eating his food he said, " this was the best day ever!!!" What a cutie! He brings so much joy and laughter in our lives we don't know what we would do without him.

 

Happy Birthday Cam!!!

On Monday we celebrated the birthday of our oldest son! Cameron turned 14 years old. It is amazing how fast time flies. Everyone tells you that but you don't really realize it until it happens to you! I came into Cameron's life when he was four years old. ( I am kicking myself right now because my scanner doesn't work and I can't show you what a cute little kid he was at 4!) He has always been a strong minded boy. When he doesn't want to do something there is no talking him into it. Nothing has changed except now he is a teenager! He is a great older brother and has a wonderful heart. Cameron loves to tease and loves to talk! He has always been this way I remember when Randy & I were dating we would play the quiet game A LOT! He has always had a brilliant mind. When he was in kindergarten I was helping in his class one day and they were doing a math lesson. He knew all the answers right away. His teacher would keep asking him harder ones just to see how much he knew. Right then I knew how smart he was. Well, his birthday probably wasn't exactly what he wanted. He went to California the week before and had such a great time there he came home with swimmers ear. After trying our homemade remedies Randy ended up taking him to the doctor the morning of his birthday. They gave him some antibiotics and ear drops then told him he couldn't swim for 10 days. There went the plans to take him to the lake that day! So we asked him what he wanted to do instead and this is how it went. He wanted to go see Transformers 2 for the third time, then go to Sweet Tomatoes for dinner. We ended up at Rob and Liz's house were some of the Robbins family was for family home evening. We had chocolate cake and the best ice cream. (from Uncle Robs's ice cream machine) He didn't want any presents for his birthday but money. So that is what he got, TEENAGERS :)! It was a great day and we can't imagine our life without Cameron in it. Happy Birthday Cam I hope it was a good one!!!!!
 
 
 
 

Happy Fathers Day Grandpa!

We can't forget about our amazing Grandpa Robbins. It doesn't matter if it is playing board games, video games, basketball, baseball, catch he is always there. He has the ability to do all things!! My boys say grandpa can fix anything. If something is broke around our house they always tell me to call grandpa. He has so much patience with the boys, he even lets them help him in the garage. Now that is all Jaxon wants to do is fix it with grandpa. We couldn't ask for a better grandpa and dad. He has been there for me my whole life, no matter what. He now is there for my family as well. He even puts up with Turners crazy ways and is still always there for whatever we need. THANKS GRANDPA WE LOVE YOU!! HAPPY FATHERS DAY!

 

Happy Fathers Day Randy!

I need to say HAPPY FATHERS DAY to my wonderful husband Randy! He is such a great father and husband! I thought I would ask the kids what they loved about their dad, here is what they had to say;
- he lets us have whatever we want
- he lets us ride our bikes
- he takes us for rides on the go cart
- he watches movies with us
- he plays and wrestles with us
- HE'S FUNNY

Randy is always there to play with the boys! When he walks through the door they are all excited that he is home. Jaxon screams,"YEAH DADDY HOME DADDY HOME!" I am so lucky to have an amazing husband that loves us and works hard for his family. He is CRAZY but that makes us love him even more!!! I can't imagine what it would be like without his fun, kind hearted spirit in our lives!!! WE LOVE YOU DADDY!!

 

Easter!

I know Easter was forever ago but I have either been busy or lazy!!!! I let you decide! Every year the Saturday before Easter we go to my parents to eat and have an egg hunt. Now in years past there has been WAY to many candy filled eggs. Well the egg hunt outside were the majority of the eggs are, is only for under 12 years old. So we are getting less and less kids that are finding these eggs, but the amount of eggs doesn't change. Needless to say my kids came home with candy galore!!!! As you can tell from the pictures the older they get the harder it is to snap pictures as they are looking. All the kids were excited but Jaxon was clapping and screaming with each piece of candy that Randy would open for him. The next morning was a little different this year. The kids got up and found their Easter baskets and the eggs that they colored on Saturday. Then we packed our bags, stopped by and picked up Cam (he was at his mom's for the weekend) and headed to California!!! Randy's mom was graduating from college and we were headed there for her graduation that was on Tuesday. Well, we were hurrying out the door and I forgot my diaper bag which had my camera in it!! I was mad but it did get me a new diaper bag. Randy's sister Tracy did take pictures but I still need to get them from her. When I do I will post again.
