U of U Gymnastics......January 15, 2010

My friend Carrie invited Hadlie and I for a little mommy daughter date with her and her daughter, Cambrie. She had a ticket to a U of U Gymnastics meet. We decided to ride the front runner down to Salt Lake then take Trax up to the University. Hadlie and Cambrie were very wound up and drove us crazy but it was really fun. The girls chose to sit in the nose bleeds seats. They were screaming very loud for the gymnist and about made Carrie and I deaf.

We watched the gymnist all perform then tried to get back on Trax to make the 9:27 pm train home. However, as we were running to the Trax we missed it. It pulled away right as we were crossing the street... So to make a long story short we had to wait on the front runner for a hour or until the next departure, which was 10:30 pm, to get home. However, We met a really nice family and made new friends while we waited. Hadlie and Cambrie entertained their cute boys.

We then arrive home around 11:15 pm. Cambrie stayed the night and I let them do gymnastic in our family room unitl midnight. They both want to be gymnist now.

We had a fun time. Thanks Carrie for inviting us.

Freezing our behinds off waiting for the train..

Carrie and I got a kick out of this sign: Thank you for stating the obvious...we almost got lost!

At the meet...

We Are The Robertson's....

Sam and I are products of the Spanish Fork Singles Ward. When we met, Sam was the ward mission leader and I was a stake missionary. We dated for 3 months then I served a mission. After I returned home we married in November 1999. We have four beautiful children: Hadlie, Daxton, Tage, and Paizlie. Our family is growing bigger and better everyday. Since we don't live close to our immediate families we hope this blog will capture our memories we are making and allow our families and friends to watch us grow and progress everyday.

Daxton

Daxton is 7 years old. He is our perfectionist. He works on something until it looks just so. He runs on his own time schedule. He is very anaylitical. We think he'll follow in his Grandpa Owen's and Uncle Dave's footsteps one day and become an Engineer. Daxton loves to play with his friends, play baseball, and play piano. He loves playing the Wii. He's very good at it. Daxton knows how to do things right: he starts out slow until he figures all the in's and out's then he cruises through the task. Daxton loves his mom. He and Jen have a strong bond. He loves school. He's a good listener and a great big brother to Tage.

Paizlie

Paizlie is 2 years old. She is our peacemaker. She has brought alot of happiness and joy into our lives. She is always happy. She loves to play with her stuff dogs, her babies, and her brothers and sister. She mimic's her siblings all the time. She wants to be a big kid too.Paizllie is a 100% grandpa girl. She LOVES, and I mean, LOVES her two grandpa's. She makes me open up our blog almost everyday so she can see pictures of her two grandpa's. She has a very sweet spirit and nature about her. We are so glad she came to our family.

My Dad's A Hero

I, Jen, illustrated this book for two friends of mine, Jewel Armstrong and Rebecca Christensen, whom wrote the book. Together, we self published it in 2007. We have been sending it to military families and military schools around the nation to help children with deployed parents. Our book perviously won the 2007 Golden Quill Award from the American Authors Association and the 2007 Don Hanson Award for Creativity from the Military Writers Society of America. We now have learned that Scholastic Books is now going to carry it for the next 7 years in their book order magazines. We are very excited about it. It's so awesome! So watch for it when your kids bring home their book orders from school. You can also get it on Amazon.com.
