He has the most amazing back yard and it was COVERED in Easter eggs and candy. There were a ton of people there and ALL the kids got a huge bucket of candy. The kids had SO much fun.

LaSt FieLd TRip....April 14, 2011

Today was Tage's LAST field trip with his pre-school. The pre-school met a Flint's Nursery and toured their facility. This school year the kids have had a lot of fun and seen some great things on their field trips. I can't believe the school year is coming to an end. Nor can I believe that T-Man is going to be in Kindergarten next year. They grow up so fast.

The BIG EiGhT!!!!.....April 10 2011

Happy Birthday, It's Your BiRtHdAy DaXtOn!

Isn't it GReAt to be EiGHt?

Dear Daxton,

It's hard to believe that you are eight years old today. This is a very exciting birthday for you. A mile stone in your life. It's the first big step you get to take in making covenants with your Heavenly Father. Dad and I are so proud that you have chosen to become a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. We can't wait see you enter into the waters of baptism. It will be a GReAt and SpECiaL DaY!

You are such a good boy. Dad and I love to watch you grow and progress everyday. You are very special. You have a strong spirit and a very strong instinct to do what is right. (I think you are a lot like your dad in that way.) You have a sensitive, tender heart. You are a thinker and creator. You love to do things at your pace just so you can get them just right. You are a wonderful big brother to Tage. You two have a great friendship. I hope you treasure it always. You are a blessing to our family and we love you so much!

Last night I was talking to Grandma Owen on the phone and we were reminiscing about the day you were born. You were my hardest delivery. My epidural didn't work and you were born posterior. Even though you were an average size baby, you were big for me to deliver. My labor and delivery with you was very painful. In fact, so much so that after you were born I felt like I wanted to die because I wasn't sure if I could handle the pain anymore. The nurse asked me what I needed. I told her, "Please just let me die." She then said, "You want to die just after you had this sweet boy?" At the time, I thought I did but looking back on it now, I am so very glad I didn't and I am ashamed I even contemplated it. It was my hardest delivery but you are one of my greatest joys in life.

I love being your mother. We have a special bond. You make me so happy. I know Heavenly Father has big plans for you here on earth. I can't wait to see the amazing things you will accomplish both spiritually and physically.

Here's to another year. Dad and I hope you have a very Happy, happy Birthday! Keep up all the good work you are doing. You are wonderful and keep SMiLiNG! :)

Love,

Mom

To The Dealth......March 28, 2011

To The Dealth!

Am I an addict?

I am Jen Robertson and I LOvE Coke Zero! Should I? No! But, I do!

There is a story to this MONSTER MUG! While in California visiting our friends, I saw this HUGE Mug on Marks counter. I told Sam, "Honey, That is What I need." Sam laughed and said, "That is the biggest mug I have every seen." "No kidding!" I added.

Monday night Sam took Hadlie, Daxton, and Tage to get doughnuts at Krispy Kreme for their good grades. (They give each kid a doughnut for every "3" they have on their report card. They give up to 6 doughnuts per child, per good grade. We take the kids every term when reports cards come out.) I stayed home and put Paizlie to bed.

I was sitting at the computer when Sam and the kids came home. Sam said, "Hey, I got you a drink and a doughnut." He then walked in with the MONSTER MUG! I started to laugh. "Really?" I said. "Ahhh Yeah!" I replied. Sam, said "Just promise me you won't drink one of these a day." :)

The next day he told his friend Chad what he had done. Chad said, "Are you crazy Sam, are you trying to kill your wife?"

SO...Here's to the Death! One Gallon of Greatness....CHEERS!

LOL!

P.S- My goal is to really drink water from this everyday. By the end of summer, I will have it accomplished. Hold me to it, everyone! Or it will be my death :)

Uncle Dave's....April 8, 2010

The kids and I spent a few days down in Spanish Fork last week. While we were there we went and saw Dave and Meagan's new apartment. We were going to feed the ducks while we were there but a storm was coming in so Dave took the kids across the street to a playground for a bit.

They were all freezing while playing but they had an enjoyable time. Paizlie stood in their window sealed and watched them from inside where it was warm.





Thanks for playing with the kids Uncle Dave. They love you a lot!

Eyyon's.....March 25-26, 2011

Sam served his mission in Riverside, California. He has some very DEAR friends that still live near there, The Eyonn's. We wanted to visit them before we headed home from Disneyland. They live about 30 Min's away.

We stayed a couple of days with Mark and Pam. We had a wonderful time visiting with them. It's fun for me to watch Sam get gitty about his mission. He has so many wonderful memories of his mission. The missionary work in their area is very strong and active. It's neat to see how the members are so very close. They treat everyone like family.

Mark and Pam have such a strong spirit about them. They are full of love, generosity, service, and compassion. You can't help but feel at home with them when you around them. They are so much fun to be around.

They took the kids to Tom's Farm on Saturday. They got to ride some tractors, go down a big blow up slide, eat some kettle corn, and even wear a silly hat. They had fun.

After, we went to lunch then headed back to their home. Their daughters friends husband had planned a Huge surprise 30th Luau Birthday Party for her at the Eyonn's home. When we arrived back to their home the kids played some basket ball, air hockey, and soccer. Sam helped set a few things for the party and I did some grocery shopping, getting ready to head back for home the next day.

It was a fun party. They had Hawaiian dancers, a roasted pig, and lots of GOOD food. It was amazing. The dancers were very entertaining.

Thank you so much Mark and Pam for letting us come and stay with you. We love and appreciate you so much. We miss you and can't wait to see you again when you get back from your mission. SUERTE! DIOS LES BENDIGA!

DisneyLand.....March 22-24, 2011

These are a few of our pictures from our Disneyland trip. We had a fun time. The weather wasn't so great. We got rained on almost everyday and it was a little chilly. We did hit the days right days though for not much rain. Monday, we decided to wait a day to go into the parks. We were glad we waited because it down poured all afternoon. After the rain we went to the beach and the kids played for a while. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday we went to Disneyland and California Adventure. We got showered on here and there but nothing major. Friday morning it rained when we got up so we were glad we chose the right days to go in. It did clear up enough that the kids could swim Friday morning.

We went with Mike, Jamie, Trae, Aizlyn, and Baxter. Jamie's mom, Carrie, and her brother and sister, Shilo and Breckten. We had a fun time. We rode a lot, played a lot, and ate a lot. The kids had a riot with their cousins. It was really fun to see ALL the kids rides the bigger, scarier rides. They were all brave. They had fun on the cute rides as well!

Waiting to go into DISNEYLAND!

Here we are at the Happiest Place on Earth, DiSnEyLaNd!

Tage got to play a tambourine for the Disneyland band. He was shy but didn't skip a beat!

We got rained on a few times. Wednesday night Jamie and I took the kids out for the evening. When we got back we were wet but we still had fun, rain and all.

At the end of the trip we voted:

WoRsT Ride!

BEsT RiDe.... The SCreAMer!

Everyone waiting in line, again, to ride the Screamer.
