I really need to get better at this!!!

So I really have good intentions on writing on this blog at least every week but as you can see I have had some difficulties. Everything is pretty much the same in the our neck of the woods. Dustin is working, I'm watching kids and running my Mary Kay business, and well the kids they run us! Dani just turned one on April 6th and she was walking a couple of days before that. Now she is into everything and she can say please (in sign language). It has been pretty cool. My brother and his wife have been teaching their daughter sign language like please, thank you more, milk, and sorry. It makes it a lot easier to communicate with the little kids. As for Paige and Kody they are just normal very active kids. It has been really nice when the weather is good that I'm able to send them outside that they can use up some of their energy but it has never ran out.

Other than that we have been enjoying life and are planning on going on several road trips this summer. We start on Friday when we head to Logan and off to see one of my former roommates and good friend Ellen. The on the 14 we are headed down to Provo to see Chad off as he enters the MTC he is heading for Ventura, California. While we are down there we figured that we would take the kids to Hogle Zoo. That is what I'm excited about. That is just a few things that are going on and I will do better with keeping this blog updated. For TTFN.

Well I did it!!

Happy Easter!!
I hope everyone had a good Easter. We did. The kids were really excited since this was really the first time that we had done the easter bunny deal. Saturday Paige and Kody particpated in the easter egg hunt in Firth. Paige came away with 6 eggs that she got all by her self ( she came back and said that she beat all the girls and boys to get them) Paige was very proud. Kody got 2, however he had a disadvantage, Chad (my brother) had him in the next group up so most of the kids were 3-4 years older than him. But we still had fun. The kids got to color eggs which was a mess good thing we had newspaper under everything. Then Sunday came the girls wore their new dresses (Paige had green & Dani had purple) and Kody wore is new shirt. After church we came home and dinner with everyone and played games until it got dark and it was bedtime.

Hey everyone. Well I did it. I said I wouldn't put I did. I started my Mary Kay business and I'm loving it!!! Dustin is even happy with what I have accomplished so that even makes it better. I've only been in for a week but things are going really well. I've meant my goal and striving to do more. They have come out with new products that are AWESOME!!!! The best thing is now I can make some extra cash that I can play around with and help out with bills. And doing all this around my time so I can be with the kids. If anyone would like to check out the products the my website is www.marykay.com/brobinson2461 and just a little side note if anyone orders $40 or more you get a miniature Microdermabrasion Set. Let me tell you it works great or if you have any questions email me.

Long time, of not writing

So it has been awhile since I have written anything on this blog. If I remember right it was November. Well a quick update of what has been happening. On November 16th Paige turned 4 years old which really makes me feel old. She had a great birthday and go lots of stuff. I started to work for my mom during November and December to help out with the books, which also helped out for Christmas. We had a wonderful, white Christmas. It has been awhile since we have had one and it was great!!! Around that time we decided that we were going to sell our house. So on the 3rd of January, we put our house on the market and on the 5th we moved in to with my parents. We figured that it would be easier to sell the house with out 3 kids running around crazy. Well, with less than a month on the market. We can consider our house sold!!! YEAH!!!! We sign on the 22nd of this month. The next objective is to find a place that we like that is within our price range. So we will see how long that takes.

Also some more exciting news, is that we get to go to Island Park this weekend. We haven't been all winter so we are pumped to go. Paige and Kody can't wait either all they talk about is going sledding and playing in the snow. The rest of my family will be coming also, so it will be fun to play games and just hang out for a few days.

Anyways enough of me going on and on. All I can say is that we have been blessed in the past few months and we are very grateful for those blessings. Some of those blessing is have great friends that have been there to talk to and laugh with. To them Thank You!!

Here are some pictures that we had taken right before Christmas. Lots have changed since then Dani is crawling and almost walking. Kody is pretty much the same with is grin and eyes that get everyone. Paige is getting bigger and smarter as she grows, I have decieded that she is going to be a supermodel when she gets older. She can pose and hold a straight face. I have lost about 10 pounds and trying to lose more. Dustin is still Dustin a kid at heart!!





I had to add this one of Dani, I thought it was pretty cute.

Halloween Fun!!!

Well, halloween has come and gone and all I have to say is thank goodness. The only problem with that is Christmas is right around the corner. This year for Halloween we went all out. We carved pumpkins, decorated our house, and got dressed up and end up with toooooo much candy. Other than that our life has been actually somewhat slow. (Imagine that, 3 kids and life being slow) Dustin has just been working about 70 hour weeks. It makes a nice paycheck, but he is go a lot and comes home exhausted. As for the kids and I, we have been trying to keep busy. We have been getting the yard ready for the winter by raking leaves, picking up tree branches that have fallen, and putting away summer toys until next year. The weather has actually been quite good this last week so we have gotten a lot done. As for the trick or treating that went on last night, we first went to Idaho Falls and stood in line for almost an hour at the trick or treat street before we even able to get in (which we will not be doing again, total waste of time) after that we went to my parents house to rest for awhile and then we attacked the trunk or treat that their ward was having. And that is where all the candy came from. Paige did really good with going up and saying trick or treat, Kody on the other hand was just holding his bag out with a face that was saying give me that candy. However, when it came to anyone with a scary mask on Kody wouldn't go near them. Dani, well she was just there to be cute bunny that growled at everything and one. It was really funny. After the kids got their candy we all went back to my parents house and had homemade pizza. We had a great time, but we were also excited to come home and go to bed!! The only problem is that we have all this candy in our house, the kids wanting it all right now, and me trying to keep off the sweets has been a task. Anyways we had a blast and hope that everyone else did too!!


Paige and Kody playing in the leaves as I was trying to rake them up in piles. At first they were great help with putting the leaves in bags, then of course they got bored and started to jump in them and throw the leaves everywhere. So much for raking the leaves in a pile.

Our Halloween adventure. Paige and Kody were helping Dustin clean out the pumpkins. Paige had to be miss independent and do it all by herself. Kody touched it once and really didn't do much more except to watch.

Our little trick or treaters. Paige as a witch(a bad one if you ask her and she flies on a broom), Dani as a little bunny rabbit, and Kody as a spider. And also the pumpkins that we carved.

Island Park



Well this weekend we were able to go to the cabin in Island Park. It was really nice to get away and not have to worry about anything. But I guess we missed one huge storm that rolled thru eastern Idaho. It looked like a tornado hit, but it was just a really wet snow and it made branches from all the trees break. These pictures are ones that we took of some tree branches that broke up at a house up the street from ours.



These are some pictures that we took at the cabin. Hailey (my brother's little girl) is giving Dani a kiss. They are about 4 months apart and right now Hailey is loving it because Dani isn't moving as fast as Hailey and Hailey can keep up with Dani instead of trying to keep up with Paige and Kody.

Kody finally turned 2 on Sept. 26. Now we can finally say that he is in his terrible 2s. He got lots of noise toys from grandparents, Dustin is ready to pull the batteries already. Paige wanted to be part of the action and she had a hard time just watching, but her turn is coming soon.

As an update to our car situation. We now have two working and running vehicles. Dustin changed the fuel pump in the tahoe and the car well it decided to run again. He played around with some of the wiring and we have had any trouble since. Talk about wierd, but I will take whatever we can get.
