Finally!

I'm finally getting the pictures from our weekend to Richfield for Kira's dance competition on here and a few of the house too! We had so much fun at Kira's dance competition it was at the begining of January, so it's been like a month! Brandi and I shared a room at the hotel together, so we had to get a picture of Talee and Hunter sleeping next to each other again, so this one is when they are 4 months and 6 months, the picture from my first post they were 2 weeks and 2 months.


How cute are they, earlier that day we had them laying next to each other on the bed and they ended up holding hands and both with their fingers in their mouths!! So cute!!


Here they are at dinner with Grandma and Grandpa, and Hunter showing off his cool new beanie, which is half off his head :)



While we were at dinner Brandi fed Hunter the rest of Talee's baby food, he loved it so much that he started screaming when it was all gone!


And I couldn't resist, I really wanted them to take a bath together! It was so funny, I think Talee was quite annoyed that Hunter was in there with her, and of course Hunter was just relaxing and thinking he was so cool! (But then splashed himself in the face in the last pic)


Here is a pic of the front of our house, it's actually kind of an older pic though, the roof is now done, as well as the front porch, side walk and drive way. The inside is getting really close to done as well, basically the carpet, the sinks, and few other little things are about all that's left!!

Here is my dad and Uncle Al putting our railing together, it looks really good all put together!
Here is our Kitchen, I love our cabinets and countertops!! In this pic the countertops aren't installed yet they are just set there.
That's my mom holding Hunter, and she thought the sun was too bright for him so she decided to put her sunglasses on him....

I thought it was hilarious so of course had to take pictures.... Then we both were kind of wondering why he was being so still, so we took the glasses off and here's what we found:

He had fallen asleep!! He almost always has to have his binki to fall asleep and either rocked or put on his belly. So it was SO funny that just putting the sunglasses on him made him fall asleep!

We are so Blessed!!

For those of you who haven't heard we rolled our truck last monday. :( It wasn't so fun, but we all walked away with barely a scratch, in fact I was the only one with even a scratch!!! Amazing!! There was barely any snow on the road but apparently just enough. We were on our way home from St. George, we had gone to Hunter's 4 month doctor appointment and also gotten all the lights for our house (which were in the back). We were coming around a very slight turn, changed lanes and started to slide. We slid into the ditch rolled onto my side, went onto the hood, started to go onto Ben's side, but the hill was in the way so we rocked back and ended on my side. All I could think about through the whole thing was Hunter, and he managed to sleep through the whole thing!! He was secure in his car seat which was still hooked to its base, when Ben climbed out the back window. He woke up sideways and Ben put him upright, then just seconds later people were there to help. Hunter and I sat in the ambulance while Ben and his family who also came very quickly picked up our lights (only one had anything wrong with it, one of the covering casing broke so we just put that light outside for the porch light where nobody really notices it) and stuff out of the car. The EMT's scared me to death though, they cut Hunter's pants off to check him out and they wouldn't pick him up in case something was wrong, so it made me really nervous to pick him up. They told us that we were very lucky that we didn't get hurt, they said that they guess how the people are going to look when they pull up to the vehicle and were very surprised that we were just fine. They also told us to take him and get him checked out the next day to make sure he was ok. The poor little guy had to go to the doctor 2 days in a row, but everything checked out ok and he seems just as happy as usual! They towed our truck to the mechanics where I went and took a few pics, so here they are (If you look close at the last one you can see glass all over):





***Added 12-18-14:   I have come to realize how much of a blessing this accident really was!  Shortly after this the Ben was out of work and there would have been no way we could have paid for our house and our truck!  I really believe that this wreck happened so that we would be able to survive the next year of barely being able to pay our bills.  The insurance ended up totaling our truck, it had a salvage title on it already, so they could have only paid us a portion of what they normally would, but they ended up paying us the full amount it was worth!  It really was truly amazing that we came out of this completely unharmed, and the lights all intact!  Definitely a blessing, even though it didn't seem like one at the time.***

Well on a happier note here are some pictures from Christmas!!


I knew it had snowed a lot in Kanab so I wanted some long socks for Hunter, but these were the only long ones I could find, which as you can tell are WAY to big for him!!

We got to spend Christmas with my brothers kids while him and his wife and family got to go to Hawaii!! So here are the kids in their new PJ's.

And us as a family in our PJ's.
I think Hunter liked his!

Christmas morning, my men look pretty tired!

You can see my mom on the coach, my dad on the right side with his hand on Casey's head and I think Sophie is hidden by the pile of wrapping paper.

Here's Hunter eating a present sitting in his new Bumbo chair Santa brought him and wearing his new cowby hat from my parents!!

Eating another present with his dad.

Trying so hard to get that ribbon to his mouth!

Oh, he got it!

Just a shirt...

I think he liked the wrapping paper better.

And to end the fun of the morning he crashed on my parents bed!!
We had SO much fun, Hunter liked it a lot more than I thought he was going to, he even sort of opened one of his presents. I can't wait til next year when he really can open them!

Lots of Updates!!

Oh wow! So much has been going on Hurricane's State Football game, Thanksgiving, Hunter's blessing, and now Christmas!!! It has been so fun!!




This was at the Hurricane football game, it was played at the Rices Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake so it was really cold!! So we had Hunter pretty bundled up, he managed to sleep for a little bit of the game even though it was really loud! And yes those are socks on his hands!!

This is the only picture we have from Thanksgiving, and it was taken on my cellphone...Hunter was so overwhelmed by everything and everyone that he just crashed in Ben's arms, I only wish he still did that, now he stays awake and has to look at everything!!


This blessing outfit is so cute, it has little tails and everything!



Here's the whole Robinson clan after Hunter's blessing!!


And of course the Robinson girls!



Here is our little family, you can't hardly see Hunter though.




Our cute little Christmas tree, it had to be really short to fit in our place.



We finally took some family pictures, and it was really cold for them, by the end Hunter's nose was bright red!



And here's a really cute one that we took of Hunter!


Well there is an update finally, and hopefully here soon I will get some of the pics from Christmas day on here, Hunter was really fun!

I'm Finally a Blogger!

I have had a ton of people telling me that I needed to start a blog... so here it goes. Life is pretty good right now we are working hard on building our new home. We are also loving being parents! We even finally got a picture of Hunter smiling!! Here are just a few pictures from the past 2 months since Hunter came into our lives:

This is our first family photo!



This is when we brought him home, he is in the same outfit that Ben came home in!

Brandi(my sister), Talee(her daughter 2 months old in this pic), Hunter(2 weeks old in this pic), and I went to Vegas for the Time out for Women. It was a wonderful experience, although the hotel stay was a bit rough for our little ones, neither one slept much at all!

When I took this pic I was just taking a pic of him in his Halloween outfit, and to my great surprise when I looked at the camera to see how the picture turned out he had a HUGE smile!! I ran across the room to show Ben right away! This little smile makes my day!

I had to show this one with the hat on too!
