Mother's Day!.....May 8,2011

This year I got spoiled for Mother's Day! I had a wonderful day. Sam and I went on a bike ride at 7 in the morning. Then he came home and cooked a breakfast for a queen. He cleaned and slaved all day long. I got to do just what I wanted. SLEEP! It was AWESOME. I took several naps. I snuggled down in my bed and slept most of the day away. I caught up on the sleep I was lacking. It felt good.

This year we stayed home for a change. Sam made dinner, we played games with the kids, and hung out. I didn't have to do a thing but go to church. Sam spoiled me. It was a perfect day.

The kids were so excited to give me their gifts. Hadlie made me the CUTEST pillow at Activity Days. It said MOM on it. Daxton painted a cover for a planter they made at school with a flower in it. Hadlie helped Tage make me a candy card. Their presents were so cute. I love my kids!

Sam always does a good job with the gift giving, too good sometimes. He got me a really cute outfit and jewelry, he and the kids picked out. Then he got me a Lifetime table I have been wanting. I was very spoiled.

Thank you Sam Dawg and kids. You made my Mother's Day wonderful. I love you all so very much! I am thankful I am your mom. You are the greatest treasures in my life and I wouldn't trade you for anything! I am very blest to have you all.

There is a cute story behind Daxton's gift. He snuck his gift home from school so I wouldn't see it ;) Later on that day he came to me in TEARS. I said, "What's wrong Dax?" He said, "Hadlie accidentally spilled water on my gift to you and it's ruined". I said, "It's OK bud, I'll love it anyways." Then, Hadlie took Dax down stairs and they locked themselves in her room for two hours while they made a new cover for his flower pot. I thought that was SO SWEET of Hadlie to help him and SO SWEET of Dax to be so upset.

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.
