Tan or Tough?.....June 16, 2011

This morning I was telling Daxton that we were going to the track so he and Tage could run this morning. After, I had a cute conversation with Daxton. It's one I want to remember. I laughed inside after it was over. It went like this:

Dax: "Mom, are we white or brown?'

Jen: "What color do you think we are, Dax?"

Dax: "I think we're brown."

Jen: "Brown? No, we're white."

Dax: "Well, you're brown Mom."

Jen: "I am just tan."

Dax: " Will Dad get tan when he get's tough?"

Jen: "I don't know. Are you saying I am tough Dax?"

Dax: "No mom, you're just skinny."

I think he was saying this: Mom, tan and NOT tough. Dad, white and almost tough. LOL! Isn't he so cute?

Daxton always is in deep thought. We always wonder what's going through his mind. He is very analytical. We love him tons and love to listen to the talk inside his head. WE LOVE YOU DAX! You're such a joy to have in our family.

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.
