Getting Ready for Baby #3.....

My two sisters that live here, ( Hanna and katie) surprised me with a baby shower. I was so excited because I haven't had a baby for five years and have nothing that has to do with a baby left from my other boys! THANKS TO EVERY ONE FOR MAKING IT A SPECIAL DAY! I am even more excited for our new little boy to get here.

Invitations to my baby shower!
Little baby onesies..

Opening all of my fabulous gifts! Thanks everyone!

The ULTIMATE GIFT!!!!! A tower of every size of
diapers and wipes to top it off.

Baby Boy punch! One package of Cool Aid made as directed, One can of Lemon Lime frozen juice, two liters of 7up. Don't forget ice cubes with babies frozen inside! My aunt Sharla gave my sister this recipe and it is heavenly.

When the ice cubes melted it looked like drowning babies...
slightly MORBID!

The food theme was all things tiny. It consisted of tiny sandwiches, bite size fruit and veggies, and tiny blue frosted and sprinkled cookies.

This diaper wreath was hanging on the front door to
welcome everyone to the Shower! You can get the instructions here! My sister Hanna used card board instead of foam. It was cheaper and just as cute. Just use a bowl to trace the outline of a wreath and cut, then use the same instructions on the link.

Wooohh!!

Can we say Huge!!! Here I am in all my pregnant glory,Truly not the most flattering picture! They say cameras add ten pds. to ya so I'm stickin with that! I am schedualed to have the baby Wednesday July 30th @ 7:30 am via c-section. So mark your calendars. We have decided to call our baby boy ,
Dylan Kay Robertson, We are so excited and a little nervous, Hopefully it will all come back to me.

Camping in Kelly Canyon

We had a blast!! We went memorial weekend 4 days of bliss, It was right by the river so we fished until we ran out of tackle.Jamen caught a 16 inch brown and 3 other fish. Emmit caught a 14 inch rainbow trout and 4 others ! Justin taught the kids how to cast and bait their hooks so it was awsome to see them do it all by themselves!!

Justin,Jamen,Emmit and their cousin Layne!!

He was trying to pose with his fish, and it kissed him right as I
took the picture!! I laughed so hard I bout' wet myself.

Justin giving the kids their first, very important lesson on gutting their own fish!
I think the kids really enjoyed themselves, I learned how to fillet fish and made everyone fish for breakfast.

My best friends

Emmit and his friends

My son has entered into a new make believe land. these are his best friends he talks for them, they eat with him. They spill his milk and they made him rip up his books. It is so cute to watch him talk his animals, and when he has the chance to play with real kids, he asks them"Do you want to play animals." hilarious

Jamen's lost a tooth

JAMEN'S LOST HIS FIRST TOOTH!

He was so excited and I was so very sad. I feel like my children are growing up too fast. He has lost 3 teeth since this picture and two of his adult teeth have come in. O' the beginning of the not so cute, huge teeth stage.

A Day At The Zoo!

A Day @ the zoo
We had a nice saturday, enjoying all the wild
life at the zoo. It never gets boring we really
enjoy going there as a family and have
even got season passes!!


Justin,Jamen and Emmit in the petting zoo

This little wallaby got out and was standing very close to us. The kids got a kick out of it!

Family Ice Fishin'

"You and me go fishing in the ice

sittin' on the lake just waiting for a bite
Where the river's froze"

My first time Ice fishing! Quite interesting, but we had SOOOOOOOO much fun!
(The pictures speak for themselves.)

The count:
Justin: 9 perch
Jamen: 4 perch
Emmit: 1 perch
Sharla: NOTHING!!! (unfortunate I know!)

Justin's Mishap

Enjoy the pictures (don't throw up)!

Justin was working and he decided to use his pocket knife as wire cutters (smart Justin!) The pocket knife slipped, went through the top of his finger, and out the bottom.

Christmas

I know it is a little late to be blogging about Christmas, but hey, we had a good time and I wanted to share. The boys were so excited (but I think Justin was the most excited being able to share Christmas with the boys!) The boys woke us up at 6:00 to start opening presents.

Our traditions are: 1-stocking get opened first, 2-Santa brings one big gift to open, 3-open all the rest of the presents, and 4- enjoy a delectable breakfast casserole.

Our favorite gifts:
Justin: A worlds gym workout center
Sharla: Record player (good one Justin- you are so sweet!)
Jamen: Air Hockey Table
Emmit: Marble Run

We made a good haul! We enjoy having this time of year to reflect on the Savior.
We hope you all had a good one!

Robertson Family Update...

Just a little update on how the family is doing. I know I haven't blogged in quite a while so I thought I would update everyone on how the Robertson family is doing.
Jamen, is doing well in school and growing up way too fast. He is in Kindergarten and is learning so much. One of his favorite things is Show and Tell. The last time he had it I tried to talk him out of bringing the biggest remote control hummer that you have ever seen. However, he was very convincing and talked me into it. He said that the kids went crazy over it and was so excited to tell me what a hit it was.
Emmit, is not my baby anymore. He is also growing up way to fast. He can write his name and knows the letters of the alphabet. He is still as clumsy as ever and gets into mischief when I am not paying attention. His latest stunt included a pair of scissors and a few bald spots on his head. I tried to even it out but you can still see where he took chunks out. He claims Jamen gave him the scissors and I don't doubt it for a second.
Justin, is working hard to support the family and adjusting to married life with two wild little boys. I am so lucky to have him in my life and so thankful he has been such a good father to the boys. He is scared and excited about the new baby on the way and works even harder knowing there is going to be an addition.
I am growing bigger every day and feel so blessed to have a little life growing inside of me. I'm trying to keep up with the boys and get in a little rest when I can. I have been busy with doctor appointments, babysitting and keeping the family happy. I have also been nesting and trying to get the house together for our new arrival this year.
That is The Robertson Family update. I hope to keep on top of blogging when I get a chance and love and miss you all.
