Happily Ever After.......January 18 2010

I am in the Young Women's Presidency in our ward. On Tuesday we had New Beginnings. This year our theme was "Happily Ever After". We went ALL OUT PRINCESS. It turned out to be a really fun night.

The beehives were in charge of the food and decorations. Their leader Abbey did an amazing job. She and the beehives made soup, princess shoe shaped bread sticks, salad, and cute princess crown cookies along with princess decorated brownie balls. It was darling.

Our YW President, Cindy, decorated each table in a princess theme. There was: Princess and the Frog, Little Mermaid, Snow White, Beauty and the Beast, ect. We strung lights and huge colored paper balls across the gym as well. It was so beautiful.

The YW leaders made the girls a temple block to take home with them. It said on the picture: I'll Go Inside Someday. (The temple blocks represented their castle). We also had a princess crown for each girl as well.

To finish the princess theme off, we have an amazing lady in our ward who owns a bridal shop and she was so kind to let the girls and leaders borrow formal dresses. Everyone looked so beautiful.

The night went really well. The girls all showed up looking like true princesses. We ate a royal dinner fit for a princess. The new beehives who are coming into YW's this year were introduced, then we had a wonderful speaker, Kristina Green's mom, speak to us. She spoke on her "Happily Ever After"and encouraged the girls to look to the temple to find their "Happily Ever After". She was an incredible speaker. The spirit was very strong. I hope each girl was touched by her message.

After, the girls did a craft I brought; they made a paper jeweled purse. Then, Abbey took each girls picture and also another picture with their mothers.

It was an amazing night. The girls looked beautiful and I am sure they had a royal ball.

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.
