Preschool Graduation......May 21, 2011

After my race, we all raced home to get ready for Tage's Preschool Graduation Program. He had his graduation at Roy Elementary. My Dad, Mom, Brother Dave, and his wife, Meagan, all came to his graduation as well. It was fun driving with my dad to the program because he shared his childhood growing up in Roy with us. He showed us where he grew up and where my great grandma lived. He even went to Roy Elementary. However, his school no longer exists. They rebuilt the Roy Elementary, where Tage had his graduation.

Tage's program was darling. We were so proud of him. He got up with another kid and sang the ABC's frontwards and backwards. Then he exited the stage in a little bus. He waved proudly out the window. He did great. He sang all the songs and had a wonderful time. It was fun to watch him perform with the other children.

Tage,

We are so very proud of you. You are getting so big and growing so fast. Dad and I can hardly believe that you will start Kindergarten next year. We hope you continue to love to learn and you enjoy your educational experience. We love you so much. You always make us laugh and smile. You're so very sweet and we hope you continue to be a good boy! Keep learning and enjoying life.

Ironically enough, my best friend, from when I was Tage's age, daughter is in Tage's class. We had a fun reunion after their program because my parents or Cory's parents haven't seen each other in years. It was fun to reminisce with the Haviland's for a bit. Cory and I were in the same class together all through elementary. I think the only grade we didn't have the same teacher was fourth grade. We were two peas in a pod, her and I . We both got the "Hope of America" award in sixth grade. We laugh about that all the time.

This is us: Me, Elaine, Lorianne, and Cory

Curt, Dennis, and Paizlie.

Who knew two best friends from elementary would be standing together with their preschoolers 30 years later?

(That just made me sound old! ahhhh!)

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.
