The Lee Family

Superhero

2012-01-03T08:23:00.000-08:00

I was stumbling around on the internet when I was came across a pattern for a cape and mask and thought of how much the boy would like it so I made it for him for Christmas, then I thought that the other kids might like them too so I made them for all the kids who were in Vegas. I think that they turned out pretty cute.

Our worn out superhero.

I just love this picture of Isaac, he was trying so hard not to smile.

Christmas

2012-01-03T07:48:00.000-08:00

This year for Christmas we went down to Vegas. Brent's sister and her family were down from Canada and it was so nice to all be together. It has been a long time since we were all together.

Here are the gifts that Santa brought, a walker for the girl and a watch and some games for the boy.

Here are the Reil kids.

Cadence didn't really know what was going on but she was very excited to put all the wrapping paper in her mouth.

Isaac loves playing with toy soldiers and I saw this big tub of soldiers a Toys-R-Us and just had to get it for him. He absolutely loves them.

Here is my wonderful family for Christmas 2011.

Halloween and Thanksgiving

2011-12-05T14:01:00.000-08:00

I realized that I hadn't updated my blog in a really long time so this is a huge post about everything that has happened from Halloween until now. Brent is just a couple weeks away from finishing his 9th Quarter. He has had 2 interviews so far and he will definitely have a bunch more during his last quarter. Scentsy has interviewed him and is actually flying him out to Boise this Friday to show him how wonderful it would be to work for them, we will see what happens. My Christmas schedule starts today so I will work Mon.-Fri. 8-4:30am, I am in for some hard days this month. Isaac still loves school and Cadence is crawling all the time now and is already pulling herself up onto the couch. Here are a bunch of pictures of our lives from October until now.

Isaac's School had a parade to show off all of the costumes. All of the kids had so much fun. We all loved Mrs.Larson's costume.

Here are a few pictures of our kiddos at Halloween. Cadence was a fairy and Isaac was Anakin Skywalker (From the Clone Wars, before he was all evil). He got so much candy.

I was able to get Thanksgiving off this year so we went to my Mom and Dad's house for dinner. It is always so nice to be with my family and I thought that this would be a good time to put down some of the things that I am grateful for. I am so grateful for my wonderful children. Isaac has such a fun imagination and he just loves to learn. Cadence's smile is all I need to brighten my day. I am thankful for my parents who have done so much for me and are wonderful examples for my family. And I am grateful for my siblings and their beautiful families for making it fun to visit. I am also thankful for my amazing In-Laws who have done so much to make me part of the family. And I am so thankful for Brent. I can't imagine going through all that we have gone through with anyone else and I am always so amazed at all that he does for us. He is such an amazing father, the kids just adore him, and I couldn't have asked for a better husband.

Here is Cadence and Gemma the youngest grandkids.

Here is the kids table for Thanksgiving dinner.

The day after Thanksgiving, the kids that were still there got to decorate Nana's Christmas tree. Isaac was so excited to help.

These are our Christmas decorations this year. I didn't put a lot of my stuff up cause there isn't enough room in our house. I can't wait until next year when we are in a bigger place.

This is a Poinsettia that I won during the Ward Christmas Party.

These are the ornaments that Brent's sister Jennifer gave to us. She gave us Brent, me, and Isaac's in 2009 and we loved getting out new ornament addition this year. Thanks Jen, we love them.

Isaac has started to crawl into Cadence's playpen and play with her inside. He is such a good brother, Cadence just adores him and whenever Isaac holds her she gets so excited. I just love these little people so much.

I think that is everything that has been happening in our lives, I will try to do better about keeping it updated.

Growing Baby

2011-10-05T17:30:00.000-07:00

The girl is growing so big. We think that she will start crawling in about a month cause she gets up on her knees and elbows every time she rolls to her belly. She still doesn't cry much but she does really like to yell, a high pitched hell that absolutely awful, and she does it ALL the time. She is a sweetheart though with the most beautiful smile, which we can never seem to catch when we take her picture. Here are a few pics of our little bug.

8th Quarter

2011-10-05T17:17:00.000-07:00

That's right Brent's 8th quarter is done and he is 2 quarters away from graduating. He got a 4.0 this last quarter and his GPA is around 3.7. I am SO excited for him to be done with school. He is starting to apply for jobs and will start interviews in the upcoming weeks. We still aren't sure where we will end up, it could be anywhere from Salt Lake, to Texas, Maryland, or even Hawaii. We will probably stay here in Salt Lake, at least at first. These last quarters are going to be hard on me cause my work changed my schedule so I now work Tues. - Sat. until 3 am (if there isn't overtime, and there has been a lot of overtime).

March can not come soon enough.

Isaac's school

2011-10-05T17:06:00.000-07:00

Isaac loves school! If he could go all day he would happily do it. He had a hard time at the beginning of the year but he has gotten a lot better. He goes in the afternoon and every day he tries to get us to go early. He is very excited to learn how to read and is doing good in everything that they are teaching him, he especially likes the computer lab, just like his daddy. They had spirit week a while ago and one of the days was crazy hair day and I thought that his hair turned out really good.

Isaac's first day of school

2011-08-30T18:05:00.000-07:00

Isaac had his first day of school yesterday and Brent took the day off so that he could be there when we dropped him off and picked him up. I wish he could take everyday off cause I have to walk with the boy and girl to the school which is, thankfully, not to far away. He had such a good time and I am so happy that he is now able to get out of the house and meet some friends, I am also so sad that my baby boy is old enough to be in school. I hope that he will be able to learns tons.

Baby Blessing

2011-08-30T17:52:00.000-07:00

We had Cadence's baby blessing on Sunday, my grandma and two of my aunts were able to come, which is awesome since they live in Washington, Brent's parents and sister were able to come and all of my family was there except Tiffany and her family and Morgan and her family. Brent was so nervous to do the blessing but he did such a fantastic job. Brent's mom Linda bought her dress and she looked so gorgeous all in white. We went and had lunch after and it was so nice to visit with everyone. Everyone said 2 things about our baby girl - that she looks just like Isaac and that she is such a good baby. We are so blessed to have this little bug in our family and even more blessed cause she is the best baby. We love her so much.

She is so beautiful and we love her so much.

Time for rice

2011-08-30T17:43:00.000-07:00

So our baby girl is 4 months old now and so last week we started giving her rice twice a day, she didn't do as bad as I thought she would, she really seems to like it. She also had her 4 month check up yesterday and she is super healthy, 13.8 lbs and 25 inches - 75% for height and 50% for weight so it looks like she will be tall and skinny just like her brother. Our Dr. also said that we should start giving her fruits and veggies so we started with bananas which she really doesn't like. We will see how she does with other things.

We Have Another Thumb Sucker

2011-08-01T17:52:00.001-07:00

So our baby girl is a thumb sucker. She will be sucking on a pacifier and then spit it out so she can suck on her thumb.

Don't they look so much alike? I couldn't find any digital pictures of Isaac as a baby and this was is the youngest picture of him sucking his thumb that I could find.

3 months old

2011-07-26T15:05:00.000-07:00

I cannot believe that my baby girl is 3 months old today. It feels like we just brought her home. She is such a wonderful little baby, and she is absolutely gorgeous. She is smiling and starting to laugh and yell to get our attention, it is so much fun to see her growing and learning.

Isaac cannot get enough of his little sister and it is so sweet to see him giving her loves. He is always asking her how she is and whenever she wakes up he asks 'Did you have good dreams?' it is so sweet. We absolutely adore this little bug and can't imagine our family without her.

Harry Potter 7.2

2011-07-15T13:12:00.000-07:00

Brent and I were able to go to the midnight show of the last Harry Potter. It was so good, probably my favorite of all the movies. The place was absolutely packed, we saw numerous Voldermorts, Harrys, Rons, and even a really convincing Hagrid. It was the first midnight show that both of us had gone to and it was so much fun, plus we didn't have to pay which always makes things more fun, all we had to do was wear Neumont shirts and then have Brent post a pic of us wearing the shirts on facebook and link the picture to Neumont. Anyway, any of you who like the books needs to make sure to go to this movie in the theater, it looked so good up on the big screen.

We tried to get a picture of the theater but it was hard to get a good view of just how packed it was.

Here is the picture we got of us in our Neumont shirts

I have posted a bunch of blogs today so keep scrolling down to see the rest of them.

Las Vegas

2011-07-15T12:51:00.000-07:00

After the Family reunion we went down to Vegas for a little vacation. We were there for almost 2 weeks and it was so nice to be down with Brent's family. Isaac has a wonderful time in the pool and we got to enjoy one of the few storms that go through Vegas. It was a lot of fun.

Our little family.

What cute little kiddos.

She is so dang beautiful.

Isaac and Daddy in the pool

When we first got into the pool, Isaac was afraid to get off of the sundeck, but by the time we were done he was jumping into the deep end without his life-jacket on. He got all tan which makes me jealous, he has his daddy's skin which means he tans really good, and now he keeps asking to go back to Grandma's and Grandpa's so he can go swimming.

Robison Family Reunion

2011-07-15T04:12:00.000-07:00

We had our Robison Family Reunion at the end of June and it was so much fun. It was up in Oak City Canyon so we were able to go back to mom and dad's at night because Cadence is so small. We had such a great time, we played horseshoes and some golfball game that was awesome.

Mom and dad with all the grandkids, except Gemma Grace who was born like 3 days ago. Our family is getting so big.

Morgan had to be in all the pictures, making crazy 'Morgan' faces, so most of my pictures of the reunion had her in it.

I am so lucky to have the family that I have, they are all so great and I love them so much. I can't wait until next years reunion.

Gateway

2011-07-15T03:58:00.000-07:00

A few weeks ago we rode the Trax down to the Gateway mall to let the boy run through the fountain. Ryan and Emma brought Adele and Ben so they could all see Cadence, and Erika and her beau Jared were there as well. We had a great time, especially the boy.

It is amazing the kind of things you can come up with when you don't have any money. The boy had so much fun and all it cost us was a train ticket downtown.

The Boy and The Girl

2011-06-09T17:53:00.001-07:00

Ohh how the boy loves his sister. We are constantly having to tell him to leave her alone. It is really sweet though, when she cries, even when he is in another room, he will run out to her while yelling 'don't worry, don't worry, brother is here.' He is such a good little helper too, always giving her her pacifiers. I am so happy that he loves her so much.

Pictures

2011-05-16T12:16:00.000-07:00

Brent's parents came to visit a while ago and we were able to get some pictures taken while they were here. They turned out super cute, here are a few of them.

Cadence Olivia Lee

2011-04-29T11:21:00.000-07:00

We were originally scheduled for an induction on May 4th but when I saw my Dr. she decided to move my induction up to the 27th because of my high blood pressure, but I guess that was just too long to wait. My water broke around 7 am Tues morning and we headed out to the hospital at 9. The boy stayed with us for a while then his Auntie Erika came and picked him up and watched him for the night. Everything was going really well until I was dilated to a 6 which was when baby girl decided to breach. Our Dr. was not at all optimistic that she would be able to flip her so they got everything ready to bring me to the O.R. for a C-Section. They were able to flip her but as soon as she was positioned correctly her heart rate dropped and nurses started running in putting on their gloves, not something that an already emotionally crazy pregnant woman needs, but her heart rate finally evened out and the labor was able to go on. She was born, with the epidural worn off because of all the drama and it hurt A LOT, at 8:22 pm. She was 7 lbs 8 oz and 19 in long.

Us with my amazing Dr.

Isaac is with Nana and Papa for the week which helps so much but we are also excited for him to come home so that we can have our little family all together. This little girl has us wrapped around her little finger, and we already can't imagine our lives without her sweet face.

Easter

2011-04-29T11:02:00.000-07:00

This year for Easter we went down to Delta for 25 cent hotdogs and an Easter Egg Hunt for the kids. It was a lot of fun, and the kids all had a blast. Here are a few pics.

Hunting for the Eggs.

Found one!

Here are all the kids after all the eggs were found.

Here is what the Easter Bunny left Isaac.

Here is his Easter outfit.

5 Years Old

2011-04-17T23:05:00.001-07:00

Let me start this blog by saying happy birthday to my dad. I love you so much and am so thankful that you are my father. I hope you had a wonderful day yesterday. Also, happy birthday to my bro-in-law Cade, hope you had a good day yesterday too.

So Saturday was my little boys 5th birthday. We had a great time at Chuck-E-Cheese with some of his cousins and aunties, and Nana and Papa. Thanks again for coming.

Here is the birthday boy. He had such a great time.

Blowing out the candles.

With Chuck-E

All his cousins, besides Zaylor, who were there.

Inside the ticket blaster. It was probably his favorite part of the party, he loved it.

With Auntie Erika

Opening presents.

I am so thankful for this little boy of mine. He is such a handful but I could not imagine my life without him in it. I am also so thankful for my family who drove up to Orem to come to his party. Isaac had so much fun with his cousins, thanks again for coming.

Birthday and Vegas

2011-04-08T13:45:00.000-07:00

The 29th was my birthday and since we have basically no money, Brent got me these really good cookies. He probably would have given me flowers instead but I have told him that I would rather have treats instead since I can't smell, anyway, they were REALLY good cookies.

On to our trip to Vegas. These are the two new additions to the Lee family - the dark one is Lily and the lighter one is George.

Grandma and the boy playing guitar.

The boys of the Lee family.

Isaac and daddy in the pool, it was still pretty cold so Isaac just kinda walked around a bit.

He was really happy though.

Falling asleep with Grandma.

Here is Isaac just waking up from a nap with George.

Linda threw a little baby shower for me, it was only family, aunts and cousins, but it was really nice. We got some really good stuff.

It was a fun little trip though we did almost nothing the whole time, which is probably one of the reasons it was fun.

I am not sure if everyone has heard since I can't really call everyone but our due date is now May 4th instead of the 10th. We are getting really excited for her to get here, especially Isaac though he still will say 'I hope it will be a boy.'

A New Post!!

2011-02-21T14:01:00.001-08:00

So I know that it has been a while since I have updated my blog but that is because my laptop broke and I have been dreading trying to learn how to post pictures through our desktop, it is just so much easier when you can just slip the flash card right into the computer. Well I haven't learned yet so this post has no pictures, I know you are all so disappointed. Anyway, not much has been happening just work and school. Brent is still doing really well getting all A's and B's, we are so proud of him. Isaac is growing like a weed, he just keeps getting taller and taller. He gave his first talk in Primary a couple of weeks ago and he did awesome, though he tried to end it early twice. He is very excited to be a big brother but when you ask him he will say 'I wanted a boy but we are having a girl' I don't know if he will ever get over the fact that he did not get his way with this one. He is already so cute with her though, he will kiss my stomach and then tell me that that he was kissing Cadence not me. I am getting really big and the girl (that's right I called her the girl) is moving all the time which is fun until she gets up into my ribs and that is something that I could do without. Brent and I had our 6 year anniversary on the 12th and it was super romantic, we went to Boise to visit Brent's brother who just started school there and we didn't even sleep in the same room, aren't you all so jealous? But seriously, it was a fun weekend. I love him so much and I cannot imagine a better husband and father. I am so lucky to have him in my life.

Anyway, I think that is all for now maybe in another month and a half I will have stopped being so lazy and will have learned to put pics on the desktop, or better yet maybe I will have a new laptop.

23 weeks and a half degree

2011-01-11T10:43:00.000-08:00

Here is my prego belly at 23 weeks. I am finally starting to look pregnant and not like I am just gaining weight which is fun.

Brent got his half degree yesterday which was actually a degree that they had torn in half. Thats right we are halfway done. Brent's last quarter was kinda hard he had taken 21 credits but still got 3 A's and 3 B's. So proud.

Christmas

2011-01-03T13:04:00.001-08:00

This year we spent Christmas with Brent's family. It was so much fun. We went to Carrabba's for Christmas Eve dinner which was really nice. Isaac got a bike from Santa and lots of toys and clothes from the rest of us. He is pretty spoiled. He got to open his P.J.'s on Christmas Eve and I don't think that I have ever seen a kid more excited to get pajamas.

Here are his pajamas

Here is his bike from Santa.

Opening one of his presents.

Isaac got a cool pen from Grandma and Grandpa that reads books when he points it to the words, he loves it and hopefully it will help him learn to read a bit faster.

It's a Girl!!

2010-12-23T11:54:00.000-08:00

Here are some pictures of our little Cadence.

Due May 10, 2011

We couldn't get a great 3D picture of her cause she kept covering her face with her hands but this is the best one that we got.

Zoolights

2010-12-23T11:39:00.000-08:00

On Saturday we went to Zoolights with some friends of ours. They didn't have lights on the animals which was disappointing but the lights were really cool. Isaac got to sit on Santa's lap and ask for his bike which he was really excited about. It was really cute cause he asked about Santa's elves and where they were. Anyway, here are a few pics.

Thanksgiving and Some Snow

2010-11-30T11:29:00.000-08:00

This year we went down to my parents house in Delta. It was a lot of fun and the food was fantastic. We were expecting everyone to be there but Ryan, Emma and their family didn't make it down. We missed you guys.

The 'kids' table.

The great food

Since we were all together we decided to give my parents their Christmas present that Morgan thought of.

It is the painting by John McNaughton called, 'One Nation Under God'. It is such a beautiful painting.

After Thanksgiving the grandkids all help decorate Nana's Christmas tree. Here they are standing in line for the ornaments.

All the kids in front of the tree.

The finished product.

Isaac absolutely LOVES the snow. He would play in it all day if we let him. We got about a foot an a half Sunday night to Monday and he was so excited to play in it for a little while after Daddy came home from school. Here are some cute pictures.

One of the good things about being the mom is that I can stand on the sidelines and take pictures while Daddy gets cold and wet.

Primary Program

2010-11-15T09:27:00.000-08:00

Yesterday was our wards Primary Program. I am the secretary in the Primary so it has been kinda stressful these last few weeks but the kids in my ward did really good. Isaac said his line "That's the Holy Ghost telling us that it's true." so perfectly.

I just can't believe that my little boy is old enough to participate in the Primary Program! He was so big up there with his little suit on, singing the songs. I love him so much and I don't know what I would do without my boy. He is such a sweetheart, when he is not being completely crazy. And I cannot get enough of him saying, "I love you and like you SOO much" which is his favorite thing to say. I am so blessed to have 2 such amazing men in my life.

Pumpkin Carving Contest and a New Nephew

2010-10-30T10:37:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday we had our annual Robison family Pumpkin Carving Contest. Brent and I did really good, I got 1st place and Brent got 3rd. I had to steal Tiffany's pictures of the pumpkins cause I forgot to take any pictures so thanks a lot Tiff. Isaac's pumpkin got the 'Most Original'.

Here is Elsa and Adele, as Glenda the witch and Dorothy.

Zoey was a Southern Bell. I didn't get a picture of her with her hat though.

Oakley and Kix, as a witch and a monkey. Kix was not happy.

Scarlett, Tyda, and Hawley. A pirate, a witch, and Alice.

And our Isaac as a knight.

I feel bad cause I didn't get a picture of Harlie by herself, she was such a cute pirate.

All of the grandkids with Nana.

This is our new nephew Zaylor. He is such a sweet baby.

Congrats to my sister Jenna and her family.

Quarter #4

2010-09-21T12:15:00.000-07:00

Brent just got done with his 4th quarter and he did really good again, 2 A's and 3 B's. He is off for 2 weeks now and it will be nice to have him around. 4 down 6 to go.

Stake Carnival

2010-08-30T12:31:00.000-07:00

Saturday we went to our stake activity, which was a carnival this year. They had a couple of horses, one of those big blow-up slide things, and a bunch of little games. It was lots of fun.

Family Pictures

3rd Quarter

2010-06-12T01:01:00.000-07:00

So the 3rd quarter is over and Brent's grades are great - 3 A's and 2 B's. We are almost a third of the way done with school and I am so happy with how fast it is going by and incredibly proud with how well Brent is doing and how hard he is working. Brent has 3 weeks off now for the summer and it will be so great to have him around during the day.

New York

2010-06-02T15:43:00.000-07:00

This is a pretty long post but here it is - Day 1 in New York

Erika and me on the flight. I don't usually smile like that but for some reason I thought it would make a good picture to be chewing gum.

Here is the hotel that we stayed in, The Affina Manhattan.

Here is the night view from the Empire State Building. It was so beautiful.

Here is the entrance into the Empire state Building.

Here is Debbie, Linda, and Connie at Juniors cheesecake. It was really good but I still think mine is better.

Lynn, Amanda, Erika, Rachel, Jennifer, and me.

Day 2 New York

Amanda, Erika, Lynn, and me when we were leaving the hotel.

On one of the bus tours, I don't remember if this one was Uptown or Downtown. It was fleet week while we were there so there were lots of sailors around so I got one to take this picture of all of us.

This is a memorial for 9/11 it was much bigger that this but I couldn't take a picture of the whole thing.

Carnegie Hall

This is Matthew Settle from Gossip Girls. I don't watch the show but I had to get my picture taken with him. He played the lead male role in Chicago.

Me, Jen, and Linda just outside our show, it was so much fun. I couldn't believe how small the theater was.

Linda and me getting ready to get on the subway.

Jennifer, me, Amanda, and Erika still waiting for the subway.

Day 3 New York

Eating lunch at Lombardi's, they had amazing pizza.

Waiting in line to go on the harbor cruise.

Waiting to leave the dock.

The Cruise line we were on.

Manhattan skyline.

Lady Liberty

We passed by the temple on one of the tours and this was the first look we had of Moroni.

The temple.

One of the buildings that we saw.

Me, Jen, and Linda outside Crifs Dogs.

Day 4 New York

Me, Jen, and Lynn. We were all pretty beat up by this point so only Linda, Jen, Lynn, and myself got up and walked Central Park for a while. It was so beautiful.

One of the buildings you could see from the park.

Debbie, Lynn, Connie, and Rachel had an earlier flight than the rest of us so we walked down to Ground Zero and took some pictures after they left.

Here is a Cemetery that we walked by. It was so so old.

I took a close up of this one cause it was the clearest one you could read. I don't know if you will be able to see the date but it is 1762.

Of course I had to get a pic of the Post Office.

Linda, Jen, Erika, and Amanda waiting for our shuttle. Erika and my flight got canceled from La Guardia and so Delta switched our flight to JFK so we had to jump in a taxi and head over there and when we got there and boarded our flight, we sat for just less than 3 hours on our plane. There is a new law saying that people can only sit on a plane for 3 hours before they have to deplane. We were literally within 10 minutes of having to turn around and get off the plane, if that would have happened then we probably would have had to spend another night in New York, luckily we did get off the ground and we got home around 1 am and of course they had not sent my luggage on our plane so I ended up waiting all day at home yesterday waiting for them to deliver my luggage. Other than that it was a wonderful trip, but I am glad to be home I missed my boys.

Brents Birthday

2010-05-13T13:02:00.000-07:00

Brent's birthday was yesterday, he turned 26. We didnt do anything cause I had to work and he had school but we did go to Iron Man 2 last Saturday on a date, which we almost never get to do, and we counted that for both Mothers day and his Birthday. I am so thankful to have him in my life and working so hard in school to make our lives better. I love you so much babe.

I have the worst child ever

2010-05-06T15:17:00.000-07:00

So Isaac is officially kicked out of daycare. I don't know what it is with this child but he just has to hit. What sealed his expulsion? He punched a kid in the face, giving him a bloody nose. So I have to change my shift so Brent can have time to get home from school and now I will start working 5:30pm-2:00am and my days off will now be Sun, and Tues. I know I deserve a horrible child because of how I was, but does he have to be this horrible? I wonder what his kids will be like.

Weekend Visit

2010-05-02T19:04:00.000-07:00

Grandma and Grandpa came up to visit this last weekend. Auntie Erika came up and we walked around temple square for a while then ate some food. Isaac absolutely loves his 'frama and frampa' and adores Auntie Erika, it was a short weekend but really fun. Here are a few pics.

Easter

2010-04-05T21:10:00.000-07:00

We didn't do much this Easter but it was still really nice. Isaac was so excited for his candy and toys that he got, not so much for the clothes but that is alright cause he is a boy and if he was more excited for the clothes than he was for the bubble gun that we got I would be very nervous. The rest of the day we just hung out and watched conference, it was a really good day.

When we went to Vegas for Isaac's birthday party he got his picture taken with the Easter Bunny. I think the face he is making is really cute.

Chuck E Cheese Birthday

2010-03-30T22:33:00.000-07:00

We went down to Vegas this last weekend to have a birthday party with Grandma and Grandpa. It was a lot of fun and Isaac had a blast. Tiff, Dan, and the girls got to come and Isaac loved spending time with the girls.

The Helmet he got for his scooter.

He got a Leapster game thing and let me tell you that thing is absolutely great! He played it almost the entire way back home.

Ty with Isaac's crown.

Chuck E came out to say happy birthday to all the kids who were having parties and Isaac thought he was the coolest.

Scarlett and Hawley were so scared of Chuck E, they hid under the table the whole time he was there. It was so cute.

The birthday cake.

Cute face Ty! Your mom is really cute too!

It was a really fun party that Isaac loved. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa.

Ohh and it was my birthday on Monday. I got a lot done, I cleaned my house and worked. It was a productive day, usually I just work.

End of Term

2010-03-21T23:25:00.000-07:00

Brent just finished his 2nd term. Yay!! 20% done - We are on our way people! He got all A's! Good job babe, I am so proud of you.

Isaac Dancing

2010-03-17T10:38:00.000-07:00

We started watching The Big Bang Theory and Isaac LOVES the opening song he calls it 'Faster Song'. Here is him dancing. If you don't laugh at this, there is something wrong with you. Don't mind the big shirt, lately he has really liked to wear mommy and daddy's clothes.

A Birthday Party and 5 Year Anniversary

2010-02-14T20:29:00.000-08:00

Zoey's Birthday is today so we went to a party on Saturday for her. It was a lot of fun. I absolutely loved Zoey's outfit, she got a bunch of play clothes and put them on over her dress. Emma put it the best way, she said that she looked like Tinkerbell after she let herself go.

Jenna and Dad

Emma, Mom, and Jenna. Don't mind Jenna she tries to be in all the pictures.

Cody, and Brent. Don't they look so happy?

Shai, Kix, Morgan, Ryan, and Harlie.

On to our 5 years anniversary.

This was when we were dating, I think it is the only picture we have of us together before we were married.

Our wedding, thrown together in a week but one of the best days of my life, behind only Isaac being born.

This is the latest pic of us. It was 5 years on friday and so much has happened to us in that time, the greatest being, of course, Isaac. I can not imagine my life without this man and I thank God everyday that I have him in my life.

Update...again.

2010-02-10T12:33:00.000-08:00

Here is yet another update since I have become extremely lazy with my blog. Last week Tiffany and her girls came up and stayed with Jenna and Dustin for a few days. On Wednesday we had a girls day and went out to eat down in Provo. A very nice man took this picture for me. It was a lot of fun and I have to say, we are a good looking group of people.

Brent is at his midterms for the 2nd quarter. I cant believe how fast it is going, he is 15% done with school and still loving it. His last project in one of his classes was to make a website so I decided that you all should see one of the things he has done since he started school. Here is the Website: http://tics.neumont.edu/HtmlProjects/solarsystem-SA . His grades are really good, all A's, and I am so proud of him.

Anyway, maybe by next blog post will not be in a month, and will not be named 'Update'. Don't hold your breath though.

Update

2010-01-16T11:13:00.000-08:00

Okay so it has been a while since I posted anything so I will just have to catch you up on what has been happening. Brent went back to school this last Tuesday and he is really enjoying it.

Isaac is now in Primary which makes me realize how fast he is growing up. I have a calling with the 4-5 year olds so I get to be in there with him and it is really fun to see him in there with all of the kids. (Isn't his new church outfit so dang cute?)

That is about it. Not much going on in our lives except school, work, and 'play' (Day Care), and it is nice to have things slow down for a while. I just know that something is going to happen that will once again send our lives into a crazy rush, until then I will just have to sit back and enjoy the quiet, or as close to quiet as it can get with Isaac around.

Christmas

2009-12-28T21:25:00.001-08:00

This Christmas we went down to Las Vegas to see Brent's family. We haven't spent Christmas with them since Isaac's first Christmas when he was 8 months old. The weekend before we went to Delta to have our Christmas with my family and it was a lot of fun. Isaac got a remote control car from Nana and Papa and he absolutely loves it.

Opening the present from Nana and Papa

We had to open the Christmas Eve present before I went to work but he got the customary P.J.'s

I love this hat it goes really well with his big present he got.

Daddy

Opening Presents

More presents

Grandpa

I had to post this picture Amanda just opened her present which was a really nice camera and she did tear up.

Grandma and Auntie Erika

Here he is opening the big present. He was so excited.

Here it is put together, it only took us like 2 hours to get it together but Isaac loves it so much.

It was a really nice Christmas, very short but really nice. I have such a wonderful family and I am so thankful that we were able to go down and have such an enjoyable Christmas together.

First Quarter

2009-12-11T09:29:00.001-08:00

Brent's last final was yesterday and now he is off for Christmas break which will go through January 12. He did so good in all of his classes, his final grades for the first quarter was 3 A's and 1 B. I am so happy that he is really enjoying what he is being taught, including math which I just don't get. He is 10% done with school now and it has only been 3 months. Hopefully the rest of his school will go as well as this first quarter went. A lot of the people in his class either failed or dropped out and I am so proud of him for doing such a good job. Now he has a month to sit in front of the PlayStation and forget everything he was taught.

Thanksgiving and Decorating for Christmas

2009-11-30T22:37:00.000-08:00

So I have been slacking on my posting for a while so I will quickly catch up on the big stuff.

Thanksgiving - Brent has a couple of friends from school who don't have any family in the state so we invited them to Thanksgiving at our place. I was kinda nervous cause this was only our 2nd thanksgiving that we were doing by ourselves and for Yaz it was his first traditional Thanksgiving ever (He is from Cuba and has only been here for a couple years). Anyway, it all went really well. We watched movies and ate dinner, nothing to exciting but it was really nice.

As it was Thanksgiving and all I would like to say what I am thankful for. I am so incredibly thankful for Brent and Isaac. They are the greatest joys in my life and I can't imagine my life without either of them. I am also so thankful for both my and Brent's families. I have been so blessed to have such amazing people in my life. I love you all.

Now to the decorating. We have this small tree that Brent's mom gave us when we were first married. When I started to pull everything out to start decorating Isaac saw this tree and got so excited. I put it in his room because I take after my mom and like to have as many Christmas trees as are possible in my house. Anyway, we were going to wait for a little while before we got our main tree because we buy a live one, but Isaac was just so excited that we decided to get a tree then. So we told Isaac that we were going to go get a bigger tree and he just ran around the house saying "Bigger tree. Bigger tree." It was so cute.

Isaac helping. He actually did really good and for the most part spread the decorations out.

Brent helping. He did really good too.

Here is the finished product. I like it.

Here is my village. It is embarrassingly small but what can ya do. I still think it turned out alright. The boy just loves the village and does really good at not touching it, especially since I know he really really wants to play with it. His favorite is the little church. He calls it the holiday church. He is so cute.

Hair Cuts

2009-11-14T16:33:00.001-08:00

Brent and Isaac got hair cuts. Isaac got his done on Wed. and Brent got his done today. Usually I cut Isaac's hair but the last few times he has hated it so I brought him to great clips to get it done and he did so good that they gave him 2 suckers, he is so cute he will say "I got hair cut, I got 2 suckers."

I have the 2 cutest boys ever.

Ohh Son of Mine

2009-11-12T10:03:00.000-08:00

Isaac's new thing - Saltine crackers dipped in hot sauce. I have nothing else to say.

Pumpkin Carving Weekend

2009-11-06T11:49:00.000-08:00

This last weekend we went down to Delta for the annual pumpkin carving contest, and I am pleased to say that Brent took 3rd place. After the pumpkin carving we went trunk or treating. it was a good weekend.

All the kids dressed up.

Ward Halloween Party

2009-10-24T18:09:00.001-07:00

Today was our ward's halloween party. Isaac was dressed like a pirate, we searched everywhere for an eye patch but we couldnt find one, luckily I had a sword, gun, and a spyglass that went really good with his outfit. Isaac loved dressing up and had such a fun time going Trunk-or-Treating.

Throwing beanbags, I must say Isaac is an amazing shot.

This is one of the kids in my Primary class. I thought his costume was so cute I had to take a picture.

On a totally seperate note - Everywhere we go, and I literally mean everywhere, Isaac is constantly getting things from strangers. Twice at hospitals people have bought him things, some candy and a little stuffed camel, alot of the time when we go to any store someone will give him something, a little toy or some candy. Anyway, we went out to eat at Bajio, we have been going to this same one for a while and the workers all kinda know us, but today one of the workers came around and gave Isaac this 5-pack of hotwheels. Sometimes I wish that they wouldnt cause I dont want him to think that he can just get anything he wants but I love that people think he is so cute.

Hospital

2009-10-02T20:28:00.000-07:00

It has been an interesting couple of days. Thursday Isaac wakes up at around 1 am and has really bad diarrhea and throws up. We cleaned him up and put him to sleep on the couch in our room, 45 mins. later the same thing happened again. Throughout the night we did not go a full hour without some kind of episode with him. We tried to give him some water and even the smallest sip would make him throw up. Brent had to go to school so I called and made an appointment around 3:00. We get to the Dr. and he gives Isaac an Otter Pop to see if he can keep it down, Isaac threw it up so around 4:30 we headed over to Primarys Children Hospital to get an IV into Isaac so he could get some fluids. By the time me and Isaac got to Primarys his face was so pale and he had really dark circles around his eyes and he had absolutly no energy. They stuck him with an IV and took some blood and started him going with the fluids. They figured he had food poisoning and it turned into severe dehydration. He stayed that way for a couple of hours and then they gave him some nausia medicine and a popsicle, he perked up alot after he got the popsicle which you can see in the pictures. When his blood work came back it was so messed up that they decided to keep him overnight while continuing the fluids because if they didnt then he would just be back in the morning with the same thing. It was better after that because I didnt have to keep telling him that he couldnt have a drink of water, which is so hard to do while the kid is just begging for a drink, and we could give him a drink whenever he asked. He got discharged at around noon today and has been sleeping and drinking all day. He still hasnt eaten much only a couple of crackers in 2 days but hopefully he will feel good enough tomorrow to eat some more.

This is when we first got to Primarys and had the IV put in. The stuffed animal was from the nurses in the ER, they thought he was just the cutest, which he is.

This was after he got his popsicle. You can tell that he has a lot more color.

After we had been moved from the ER to an actual room.

This morning right before we were discharged.

It was really hard to see Isaac hurting that much and I am so glad that we can go to a Dr. anytime and be treated immediatly.

First day of school

2009-09-28T22:11:00.000-07:00

Okay so it was actually orientation not his first day of actual school but it is still pretty exciting, he got his laptop and it is SO nice, but it better be for $1800.

We went to a picnic for the students and their families on Saturday (it was a complete nerd-fest which isn't surprising since it is a computer school), and almost all of the students are right out of high school so I know it will be more uncomfortable for him and I am so proud of him for doing this. It is going to be a hard couple of years, as of Friday I am the only one working, and it will take a while to get used to not being with each other all of the time (like literally 24/7), but I am so happy that we have done something to further our lives.

Brent thought I was crazy cause I had to get a picture of him on his first day, I cant help it, it was how I was raised. Plus he looks really good.

So get ready, in 2 1/2 years Brent will be a computer genius.

The Fair

2009-09-22T22:22:00.000-07:00

This last Saturday we were thinking of things that we could do with the boy and we remembered that the Utah State fair was going on. So we got in the car and drove downtown and went to the Fair. The first thing that we did was go and see the animals. Isaac LOVED it. We were pretty surprised because he wasn't scared at all to pet any of the animals, he immediatly tried to pet any animal that he saw.

Here are a few pictures of our day at the fair.The Sheep nibbled on Isaac's arm just as Brent took the picture.

This was the first animal that we saw and Isaac could not stop smiling.

I was trying to get a picture of just the boy but other kids kept rushing in and sitting down, so here is a picture of Isaac and a couple of kids we dont know petting a calf.

We went on a few of the rides, but there werent alot that he could go on alone so I got to go with him on most of them. We didn't take alot of pictures, mostly just videos.

It was such a nice Saturday spending time together as a family. It will be sad when Brent starts school and we wont be able to just go and do things like this anymore.

Side note-Today was Isaac's first day in Day Care with big-boy underwear and he didn't even have an accident, he is such a little man.

Baby Blessings

2009-09-07T10:00:00.000-07:00

Sunday the whole family went down to Delta for the baby blessings . It was so nice to have the whole family together. It was my first time seeing Harlie and she is such a doll. Here are some pictures of the family and the new babies (I didnt get pictures of the babies in the blessing clothes which were really cute), and one baby that is not so new but I have very few pictures of.

Here is our little family.

Papa and Nana with all the grandkids, minus Elsa who was with her dad.

Morgan and Harlie Ray Yates

Shai and Kix Cade Riding

Ryan and Adele Elizabeth Robison

Tiffany and Tyda Rosalie Brooks

All of the fam.

I love my family so much and have been so blessed to have them in my life. Although I am not the best at staying in touch it has been so nice to have everyone so close, and it is so sad that Tiffany and her family are moving to Vegas, we will miss you guys so much.

I love you all and hope that you know how much you mean to me.

The Habbit Is Over

2009-08-27T23:34:00.000-07:00

Since day one Isaac has been an avid thumb sucker. I sucked my thumb as a child and actually had to have a retainer to make me stop, I didnt want him to go that long because it gave me an overbite and, of course, I did not want that for him. We never really tried to stop Isaac from sucking his thumb because he was still really young, but a couple of weeks ago we decided that it was time to try and get him to stop. We thought it would be really difficult to stop him because it has been going on every time that he has gone to sleep since the beginning. We bought some stuff to get him to stop biting his nails a while ago and we used that to put on his thumb. It was really funny, he loved when I put the stuff on his finger, but when he put his thumb in his mouth he took it out and spit onto the carpet. It was much easier than we thought it would be and it only took about 3 days, and now I am proud to say that we no longer have a thumb sucking son. It actually makes me a little sad, it is just one of those small things that remindes me of how big he is getting, but I am also so proud that he was able to break his habbit so easily.

Pictures

2009-08-19T23:29:00.000-07:00

So I have had nothing to blog about lately and I was going through all of our pictures and I thought that I would post a few of the boy.

He Asked!

The crazy ways this boy sleeps.

Playing hide-and-seek.

A leaf bug that was outside our house. He thought it was the coolest thing ever.

Isn't that the cutest buttcrack you have ever seen?

He is such a good helper.

Things get pretty crazy, especially when Brent and him get going (one time Brent downloaded fart noises onto our IPhone and they laughed for days), but I love this little man so much and I cant believe that it has already been 3 and a half years.

Cool Fort

2009-08-03T11:40:00.000-07:00

On Saturday the boy was being pretty crazy, when Isaac is crazy he is really crazy (those who know him can tell you). So I decided to calm him down by making a little fort that he could hang out in. I just hung some blankets over chairs then put my laptop inside and played a movie. It was kinda crudely done but it worked great which was the point. He had so much fun with it. Here are some pictures of Isaac's hang-out.

Bad Day?

2009-07-25T21:34:00.000-07:00

Right off the bat it was a really bad sign for the day ahead -

I woke up at 6:30 shivering, I thought nothing other than it must be cold in our house, the shivering progressed to violent shaking where I could not even hold anything in my hands. Brent took my tempurature and it was at a good 102 degrees. Great, I thought as I tried to calm down my flinging body.

Now let me give you a bit more info on what was happening with me. Friday Brent tried to get me to go to the doctor because my back and side were aching horribly. He looked on WebMD and matched that and some other symptoms that I was having to a kidney infection. I did not think that that was the case so I told him that if I was still sick on Monday I would go to the doctor, I would have gone then but we had a problem with my insurance and our choice with them was either get a refund of $600 for when I was not covered but they withheld from my check anyway or they could keep the money and I would still have insurance, I chose to get the money back. The reason I wanted this money back was that I was not covered for the time that they took it out so it was my money, and open enrollment is in August and I thought I wont be sick in just a months time. Anyway we dont have insurance at this time.

Back to the story. Around 7:00 my shaking finally stops, Brent checks my temp. again and it is 105. We decide that it is probably good if we go to the doctor now, so we drag Isaac out of bed, get dressed and head out to the ER. We walk in and talk to the lady at the front desk and she takes my vitals and brings me right back, my pulse rate is 160 and my temp is 103 she says that I am actually really sick. So I give one of those samples that are always fun to give and then get dressed in one of those fancy hospital gowns and lay on the bed, waiting for the doctor. He comes in and says that they want to get my fever under control and lower my pulse so they are going to take some blood then hook me to an IV and give me fluids and an Antibiotic. And there I sat for a couple of hours getting colder and colder as the fluid starts running through my body. When the nurse comes back in she checks my temp and it is 98 but my pulse is still 110 and they want to get it under 100 so they give me another bag of fluid. Finally the doctor comes back and says that I do have a kidney infection and that I will need to be on antibiotics for the next 2 weeks, of course it is a gradual drug so it will take a few days for my fevers to get under control but they shouldn't be as bad. We get to leave then and we go home so the boy and I can take a nap then we head out to the nearest walmart to get the prescription filled. Now since it is Saturday you would think that Brent has the day off and you would normally be right but today he had picked up a shift because his five day break starts tomorrow and he needed more hours for the week, so as soon as we get home he heads off to work. I am feeling alright for the most part at this point just extremely week. This all would be bad enough but I have to do laundry tonight so I have to walk downstairs and around to the back to get to the machines which I hate to do even when I feel great.

Anyway that was my day, I hope all of yours went better than mine.

Las Vegas

2009-07-23T09:04:00.000-07:00

This last weekend we went down to Las Vegas for Jennifer and Leonard's new baby blessing. It was a lot of fun seeing everyone.

Everyone that was down for the weekend. left to right: Leonard, Gavin, Jennifer, Teague, Coleman, Amanda, Erika, Kaleb, Kris, Jack (heaven forbid I forget the dog), Steve, Noe', Linda, Me, Isaac, Brent

Isaac trying to teach a bear how to play the piano.

We went swimming but I didnt have my camera so I dont have any pictures of that but here is Isaac taking a drink from the hose.

The kids all had so much fun together. Here they are watching videos on the computer.

When Brent and I were packing to leave we turned something on the laptop for the boy to watch and we came back later to see he had fallen asleep. It was just so cute I had to take some pictures.

Now on a totally seperate note. Yesterday was Isaac's first day back to day care and we go and pick him up after work and he has this enormous bruise on his face. Apparently him and another boy got into a fight about a toy and decided to bite each other. Ohh the joys of children.

Neumont University

2009-07-07T10:17:00.000-07:00

Neumont University is a Computer Science university which allows students to get 4-year Bachelor of Science degrees in 2 1/2 years and a Master of Computer Science in 1 more. Brent was accepted to Neumont University and will start school Sept. 29. I am so proud that he was accepted and we are both really excited for him to start school and more excited that he will be completely done with a Masters degree in 3 1/2 years.

Fourth of July

2009-07-07T09:45:00.000-07:00

Saturday we went down to Delta for the Fourth of July. We saw the parade went to a BBQ and then saw fireworks. I forgot my camera for both the BBQ and the fireworks but here are some pics of the parade.

Smokey the Bear. As you can see the twins were not excited to see him.

Veterans.

He was not happy when he thought that the candy was gone.

With Mommy.

After the parade there is a bunch of things going on at the park. All of the kids got tattoos on their faces. We had do leave before we could do anyting else though because Isaac was throwing a fit, maybe next year.

Later in the afternoon Nanna turned the sprinklers on and all the kids got to run through. They had so much fun.

Robison family reunion...again.

2009-07-01T21:09:00.000-07:00

This time it was my immediate family reunion. We went camping in Oak City which is about 20 mins. outside of Delta. The reunion was Friday - Monday, but we came home on Sunday. It was so much fun, we played games and roasted marshmellows, went on four-wheeling rides and played horseshoes. Here are just a few pictures, I took more than 80, of all the fun that we had. Tiff and Dan you guys did a great job.

Sitting around the fire.

Roasting mallows with dad.

The kids all had so much fun. I had to snap this picture, they had all been faceing the creek but as soon as I had my camera out Isaac turned around.

We had to create a commercial with a product that we picked from a bunch of paper bags. Ours was Palmolive dish soap. Brent and I were not excited to do it but it turned out alright.

Our cute little family.

I am so happy that I have the family that I have and I could never tell them how much they all mean to me. Thank you for being the wonderful family that you are and I cant wait till next year.

Robison Family Reunion

2009-06-22T09:31:00.001-07:00

Saturday was the Robison family reunion and it turned out really fun. Here are a few pictures.

Isaac with Grammy, 90 years difference, and Grammy your still beautiful.

4 generations.

Gary had a cannon that shot candy out and all of the kids just loved it. Now that I think about it, many of the adults did as well.

Isaac - to excited to grab the candy.

All of the cousins that made it. There are tons more of us and maybe next time more will be able to make it.

Books and Flowers

2009-05-30T21:15:00.001-07:00

Brent has been a fan of the author David Liss for a long time (I have just recently become a fan as well and tell everyone that likes historical fiction to go and read his books) and Brent had wrote to Mr. Liss about the time that we got married, so 4 years, to tell him that he really liked his work. Mr. Liss wrote Brent back and then requested Brent on his myspace. We had thought that was the end of it but about a month ago Mr. Liss writes to Brent on his myspace asking if he would like to recieve an advanced copy of his next book and review it on the web. Of course Brent was pretty excited about it and then he recieved the book about a week later. It is called the Devils Company and is the third of a series, the first of the series is: Conspiracy of Paper, and the second is: A Spectical of Corruption. The Devils Company comes out mid July.

We have a few rose bushes downstairs from our apartment and today I decided that I really wanted to have some flowers, so I went down and cut a few of them. I wasn't sure how they would look in a bouquet because they were very open but they turned out really beautiful.

Finally....potty training.

2009-05-16T18:44:00.000-07:00

So we think that Isaac is ready for potty training. He has been wanting to pee like daddy and has gone in the toilet a few times but it was to big for him so today we went and got him his own toitet and pullups he is so excited, probably not as excited as we are but it is really cute.

Birthday

2009-05-13T10:39:00.000-07:00

So Brent's birthday was yesterday, he turned 25 years old. We didnt really do anything but we did have to go home early from work so we enjoyed a couple hours at home while Isaac was still at day care. I made him some strawberry shortcake but that was all that we did. It was really good though. Hopefully next year we can do more but it was still really nice to just have a night off together.

I love you babe and can't imaine my life without you. Happy birthday.

My Mothers

2009-05-10T12:29:00.000-07:00

Mom, I am so thankful for you. Thank you for being so patient and understanding, I can only hope that I will be the kind of mother that you are. I am sorry for all of the things that I have put you through throughout the years, I know I wasnt the easiest child. Thank you for all of the love and support that you have shown me and still do. I could not have asked for a better mother.

Linda, you are such a blessing in my life. I know many women that cannot stand there mother-in-laws and I feel so sorry for them. You are a fantastic mother. You have raised an amazing son. Brent is such a good husband, and an absolutly wonderful father and he could only have been those things because of his parents. Thank you for raising such a good man.

I love you both and thank you again for being such great examples to our family. Happy Mothers Day.

Mothers Day

2009-05-08T23:22:00.001-07:00

I have the best husband ever. Brent got me the coolest machine. It is called the Cricut (said like the bug) and I just want to tell anyone that likes to scrapbook or be crafty in any way to go and get this machine. It is so cool it will cut anything and it even etches glass! I didnt have much time, but here are 2 scrapbook pages that I did in like 15 min-everything is cut by the machine. The pages are pretty plain but like I said I didnt have much time, I just really wanted to use it. And I think they still look pretty good.

Also, thank you to Jen for blogging about the makeup because, in the spirit of it being mothers day and all, Brent got me some make up. For those of you who dont know, there is this website http://www.eyeslipsface.com/shop.asp that sells cheap makeup. It sells its products for 1 dollar, and if you use the coupon code CAROLINA on purchases of 15 dollars or more you will save $7.50, you do have to pay shipping though. It has been featured in Allure, Lucky, and Elle magazines, so I am assuming it is pretty good. Mothers, use this excuse to splurge just a little bit more and get some makeup for really cheap.

Hair Cut

2009-05-02T09:35:00.001-07:00

We decided to give Isaac a haircut, which I really hate to do cause I love his hair, but it was getting pretty out of control. So here are the before, during, and after shots of his beautiful hair. I do it myself, I'm not the best but good enough.

He looks so different, he kept wanting to look at himself in the mirror and would just laugh and laugh. I was scared that he would be really upset cause he still sucks his thumb and twirls his hair but he did really good about it.

Birthday Boy

2009-04-16T10:14:00.000-07:00

Here are just a few picture of our little Isaac

I am just so happy that we have this little boy in our lives. He brings so much fun and laughter to us everyday. I just cant believe that he is already 3. Time goes to fast, I feel like we dont even have time to stop and enjoy these moments. I am so blessed to have Isaac here. I am taking him on a date this saturday and I never thought that I would be so excited to go on a date with someone that can barely talk. I love him so much, he is by far the biggest joy in my life. Happy Birthday big man.

Amanda's Wedding

2009-03-28T22:13:00.000-07:00

So Today Brent's sister was married to Coleman Parker. They got sealed in the Las Vegas Temple. It was such a nice wedding. Here are a few pictures.

Congratulations to Amanda and Coleman I hope that you have a wonderful life together.

Chester

2009-03-08T17:29:00.000-07:00

We recently decide to get a pet, but we couldn't choose what to get. We didnt want a cat cause they stink, and we didnt want a dog cause we would have to take it out every time that it needed to go to the bathroom. So we got a Ferret. He is a year old, really playful, and super cute.

February

2009-02-28T23:48:00.000-08:00

So February was just a really good month. Brent and I finally switched our shifts at work so we work at the same time. We got Isaac into Daycare, finally. We now have Saturday and Sunday as our days off, and we got a new car. Overall I would say that it has been a very good month. And so today, as our first offical Saturday off, we went to the zoo.

Then we went to pick up a few things at Walmart and the Wienermobile was parked out front so we had to get few pictures of that. I mean how often do you go to the store and see a car in the shape of a giant wiener?

And finally, here is our new car it is a 2000 Buick Century with just over 14,000 miles on it. Thanks to Dad, Mom, and Grammy, we just love it.

4 years

2009-02-14T08:26:00.000-08:00

So Thursday was Brent and my 4 year wedding anniversary. We decided that this year we are going to celebrate our Sealing anniversary which is March 25th but it is so crazy that it has already been 4 years. I just cant believe how lucky I am to have such an amazing man as my husband. Brent is such a good father, and he does so much for Isaac and me. Not only did I get lucky with such a good guy but Brents family is so great, they are all such good people and I love them all.

We have come so far in these past 4 years. For the first few months we were married we slept on a twin sized foam mat on the floor in the living room. We now have great jobs, insurance, a good car, and the cutest child ever. I couldnt be happier with how things have gone in my life (unless, of course, I won the lottery but I cant have everything). I am very blessed and thank God everyday for how amazing my life is right now.

Shout out to my niece Zoey, Happy Birthday sweetie.

Cars

2009-02-01T22:33:00.001-08:00

So Isaac's thing now is to line up his cars. He has like a million hot wheels that he got for Christmas, and he will go all around the house looking for more to put in his line. He has been doing it for a few weeks but just in the last few days he has started to kinda color code them. He is so proud of his cars and just wants them to look nice for everyone to see. It is the cutest thing that you will ever see. The only thing that will stop him playing with other kids is when a car shows up. It is just so amazing how much of a little boy he is, cause we have never tried to push cars on him or any other toy, but he is continually drawn to all of those little boy toys. I am so proud.

Cousins

2009-01-26T22:35:00.000-08:00

Isaac just loves his cousins, he is pretty crazy and the girls dont really like it, (not including Noe' who is around boys so she is used to such craziness) but I am hoping that when we get Isaac in daycare he will be able to show his enthusiasm for hanging out with his cousins in a more quiet and gentile way, since he will be around kids alot more. Until then I hope that all the kids can deal with his being a little boy and being so completly different then them.

This is the Robison family reunion 2008

This is Morgan, and Cody's wedding

Oakley, Zoey, Hawley, Scarlett, (I might have mixed them up, if I did I am sorry) and Isaac

This is Zoey and Isaac when we were down in Delta for Shai and Cade' s temple trip.

This is Noe' and Isaac at Erika and Tom's wedding.

With Noe', Kaleb,and Gavin in Las Vegas, one of the few times in the last few years because of them being in Taiwan.

Noe', Isaac and Kaleb

This is one of the great things about having kids, seeing them interact with other kids. Isaac LOVES any kid that he sees, he will walk up to complete strangers in the mall or at Walmart and become instant friends with them. It would be so much easier if this was something that every person had brought with them when they entered adulthood. I guess we should just do the best we can and try to be more childlike in becoming friends, forgiving others, and so many more ways that if it was indeed the case the world would be such a better place.

Temple

2009-01-05T09:36:00.000-08:00

Saturday, my sister Shai went through the temple with her husband Cade and their daughter Oakley. It was one of the coolest things that I have ever seen. It was so neat to see Oakley in there with them. I am so happy for them.

I love you both so much and I am so excited to see you take that step in making your family an eternal family.

Christmas

2009-01-05T09:09:00.000-08:00

This is a little late but we have been busy so better late than never.

This christmas we spent at home cause our car is pretty beat up and we didnt want to push our luck. Isaac had a blast, he got ALOT of cars, which are his favorite things ever. We didnt take alot of pictures cause we got a video camera for each other, but here are a few pictures that we did manage to take.

This is Isaacs present from Santa, it lights up and the blades rotate, he loves it.

All of the presents that he got.

His Christmas sweater.

This is all of the snow that we got Christmas night, we did go play in it but didnt take any pictures, of course.

Not the best week

2008-12-11T08:34:00.000-08:00

This has just not been my week, First I had to get an emergency root canal on my tooth which was hurting so bad that I had to abuse nyquil so that I could sleep through an entire day just so I wouldnt feel anything, which caused me to miss a day of work, which also means that our Christmas is going to be even more sparce than it was going to be before cause, no dental insurance means $700 dental bills, twice. Second we got the estimate on our car from the accident that Brent was in and the damage is more than the car is worth which means that we are going to have to go into more debt to get a new car, and we will have to make monthly payments which sucks, and it wasn't even his fault. And finally this week begins the Post Offices Christmas, which sounds alot better than it is, it just means that I will be working 6 days a week possibly 10 hour days, with little things like a hot chocolate machine at work to make me feel better about only seeing Brent for 20 min everyday.

There are always good things to balance things out so that I dont get to depressed when things go like this, for instance, Kris has been staying with us for a few days which is always fun, of course there is Isaac, I just don't know what I would do without this kid he makes everything so much better, and Brent, the most supportive and loving husband anyone could ask for.

So this was my week, I have had alot better, but also alot worse. And I have great people in my life to make things that much better.

YEAH Insurance!!

2008-12-06T10:32:00.001-08:00

So our work has finally decided to give us insurance that is affordable, they used to charge like 900 dollars for a family per month, (please tell me who can afford that making like 14 dollars an hour?) now it is 150 bi-weekly per family. I did not even realise how much not having insurance has weighed on my mind, I feel strangly light now that we have the insurance set up, even though it doesn't kick in till Jan. 9th. We have been without insurance since Isaacs 1st birthday, and he turns 3 in April, so we have alot to be thankful for.

I just wanted to say congratulations again to Shai and Cade, and Morgan and Cody, I cant wait for the new additions to the family.

Talk About Scary

2008-11-09T23:37:00.000-08:00

So Saturday night around 7 o'clock Isaac somehow got a hold of his bottle of vitamins, got the lid open and ate like half of the bottle. We called poison control so much that I am sure that they all knew about what had happened. We had to keep him up till like 2 am just to make sure that he was alright, and so far all is looking good. So let this be a lesson to all of you out there that dont think that, even if your kid can get the bottle of pills that is on the middle of the counter, he wont be able to open the childproof lid because, believe me, it is possible and, believe me, it will be one of the scariest moments in your life.

Twilight

2008-10-13T00:57:00.000-07:00

I have recently started listening to the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer, listening because my job is very dull and I listen to books for 8 hours 5 days a week, lately it has been 10 hours, I had run out of things to listen to having listened to Harry Potter at least 5 times (it gets very boring listening to the same things over and over). I had nothing else to listen to but a few series that I was not at all intrested in listening to. You have to understand that if I do not have a book that grabs my attention or intrests me in any way than time drags on and an 8 hour day can feel like 12 hours. I had downloaded the Twilight series because I knew that I would come to a point that I would need something new to listen to. I went in kicking and screaming not wanting to listen to it at all. I had only really heard from, excuse me, 'girly' people that these books were good, actually they said "GREAT!!!" which made me want to read them all the less. Now I must apoligize to all the people that I had doubts about their ability to pick out a good book, because they have been great. I am also very happy of the fact that my happiness at work relies very much on the fact that I have something to listen to, because without this fact I would never read this series, Brent actually has been annoyed with me because when I am home I am still wanting to listen to them (I would read them but we dont have the actual books). So I would not only like to apoligize to those people that I had doubts about, but I would also like to recommend this series to anyone, including men, that wants to experience a really good book.

Les Mis

2008-09-30T10:23:00.000-07:00

So I have the best husband, Brent has known that I have wanted to go see Les Mis for a long time and so he took me down to Tuachaun and brought me to see it, when he thought that he probabaly wouldnt enjoy it, (and he ended up liking it more than he thought that he would). It was so good, anyone that has not had the opportunity to see this play needs to go and see it. It was the first time that brent and I have had a chance to go away for ourselves since we have been married, mom was really good and took Isaac for the night, so we were by ourselves. We stopped by and saw my Grammy, who I havent seen in a while, and talked to her for a couple of hours before we picked Isaac back up. It was a great couple of days.

Growing up

2008-09-05T10:54:00.000-07:00

Sometimes I just cannot believe that my little boy is 2. It seems like only yesterday that we were getting ready to go to the hospital to have him. It is just amazing to me how much he has learned and grown in those short 2 years. I sometimes think back to when he was first born and how I thought that he was such a big boy, how I wished that he would learn to crawl then to walk, now I wish that I had more of that time to fully realize how much of a miracle he is. Isaac is my entire world and it is sad that I will never again have that time to be able to cherish every moment that I have with him. I can now only try to do my best to love every moment that I see his eyes light up when he learns something new, or even when he is just running around kicking his ball (his favorite thing to do). I hope that when he finally has kids he will be able to realize how much we love him.

Ice Cream

2008-08-30T09:04:00.000-07:00

Brent decided to give Isaac a whole Ice Cream bar one day then go and talk on the phone while he ate. Needless to say it was very messy. But as crazy as this little 2 year old is, and anyone that has met him can agree with that, I cannot imagine my life without him.
