I got the BooT!.....July 29,2011

I got the Boot! No pun intended....

My little Brother, Mike, said it best: "Sorry you're grounded from running, Jen." I am grounded from running. I got the boot on and I got the boot out of my races. (I guess there are many puns intended.)

My ankle had been hurting. I KNEW I had a stress fracture. I put it off for a couple of weeks, not wanting to accept the truth. Then finally, after the pain I was in, I decided to go ahead and head to the doctor. After a Xray and a MRI, I have MULTIPLE stress fractures in my foot and ankle. I was grounded from running and put in a boot.

The only thing I have to say about it is this: IT STINKS! I hate it, I hate it, I hate it! Me and my running buddy were on the top of our game and in the middle of our training for three more races and I am officially out. So sad for me :( and her too :(. The irony of it all is: my running buddy, Meghan, has had these same fractures when we've trained in years past. I always tell her to take her calcium so she doesn't get another and look who didn't take her own advise? Me! I guess it's my turn to be hurt.

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.
