January-March 2013

 Here we go with a new year!

 Landen got baptized, he chose uncle Tyler to baptize him.

 We had a nice snow storm!

 I love kids attempts at making snow angels, I can't convince them to do it in a clear spot, it's always right in the middle of a whole bunch of foot prints.

 Look at all this hair!!

 We even got it in a braid!

Happy Valentine's day!
They love when I attempt to make shapes out of the pancakes, they have come to expect Mickey Mouse shaped ones.

 We went on our annual trip to the hunting expo, which also falls on our anniversary weekend.  We broke tradition and didn't make it to a temple.  We were going to but didn't find a babysitter :(

He loved shooting a bow!  This was also at the Hunting Expo.

 First pony tail in the back!

 I did a play-school group with 5 moms (the number changed a couple times between splitting the group into more structured like joy school and more play, then also people moving but most of the time it was this group of 5) with Hunter.  They were a cute group and always had fun!  We did it twice a week for 2 hours.  We did it through most of the school year, we stopped in April when 2 of the kids moved.

 This was in march right by St Patrick's day so we did the color green, I didn't have green Kool-aid so I had to mix, it was not a very pretty color of green but the kids still liked it.

And my kids continued to enjoy the green bread later too.

 When her hair finally started coming in it sure came fast!

 Love this cute face!!

Chelsee came home from her mission!!!  This was right after she got of the plane!

 We went to Kanab for some Easter fun, we were just there from Friday to Saturday.

 This was how Jordan and Ben spent the time while we were dyeing the eggs.  Silly boys!

 The Easter bunny came on Saturday since the whole family was together.

 Look how cold he was, his poor little nose was so red!

 He was checking out his stash, I love how he lined it all up!

 Gavin and Megan got married!  That's why we only stayed in Kanab from Friday to Saturday, their wedding was on Saturday, so right after the morning Easter hunt we came home and got ready for the wedding.  Aspen had eaten quite a bit of her candy before she had any breakfast and ended up throwing up because of it.  Can't figure why our kids kept throwing up for wedding events!  The only one that one of them didn't was Caitlin and Jarons.  Did you notice there were 3 weddings within 7 months of each other?!

 Both sides of their families.

 Love these two, they have become pretty good friends!

 Getting dressed up for the photo booth.

We had an Ewell family picture right after their reception too.

November-December 2012

 We got family pictures here are some of the favorites:

 They held hands all on their own!

 Love both of these two and their bright blue eyes!

 It took a long time to get this smile out of her!

 Checking out the pond.

 Walking to the next spot...

 while watching the boys run there!

 This is what stickers are for right?

 We LOVE pine nuts!!

 It's amazing how crazy this girls hair can get!

 I love when I go in in the morning to things like this!  So cute!

 Gotta find ways to keep the kids entertained while waiting for the doc.

 Who knew teamwork could be this cute!!

 I never seem to take many pictures of Thanksgiving, but we got grass the day after Thanksgiving!  Thanks to Mike he had extra from a job and the family all stepped up and helped us lay it.

 Between me and Brandi we made lots of these flowers for Kira's wedding.  She had a letter/mail theme going since her and Jordan wrote throughout his whole mission, it was really cute!

Aspen wanted to help me mail the bridal shower invites, haha I loved it!!

 Kira and Jordan got married Dec 1st!

 My handsome boys waiting for them to come out. (Hunter got sick at the luncheon right after this so just me and Aspen went to Kanab for the reception.) This was also the day our trail blazer started acting up and we weren't able to drive it anymore after this day, we even had to borrow Dixie's new car to get to Kanab.

 Aspen waiting to see aunt Kira.  Diana's kids were nice enough to watch all our little kids while we went in the temple for the sealing, when we came out they had them all dressed and ready (except hair which we quickly did when we came out) they were awesome helpers!  They had also watched all mine, Brandi's and Jordan's sisters kids in 1 hotel room a couple weekends before (maybe only one I can't remember for sure) while we went to the Manti temple for Kira to take out her endowments.  Ben ended up having to stay home for work so he didn't get to come to the endowments.  Right after Kira's endowments we got to have Grandma and Grandpa Robinson sealed together and then to my dad and aunt Darlene.  I even got to be a proxy for my grandma it was amazing!  After that we got back to the hotel and poor Aspen hadn't been feeling very good... After that we headed up to Diana's for Kira's up north bridal shower (we had done a Pampered Chef one for her in Kanab before then.) My dad was so sweet with my sick Aspen while I helped with the bridal shower!!  Kira's wedding events apparently didn't sit very well with either of our kiddos!

 I love how good of friends these two are!

 The Robinson side.

 Can you tell the both Kira and Jordan are the youngest of the family?!  They sure have a lot of nieces and nephews!

 I got to do Kira's nails for the wedding...

 I love how they turned out!

 We went with the Ewell side to get Christmas trees.

 All the grandkids that went with, we were just missing Brylee.

 Time to decorate!

 Done!

 Meeting Santa at our ward Christmas party.

Aspen was pretty scared, I hoped Hunter being by her would help, as you can tell it didn't.

 Christmas Eve, time to open jammies!  We also gave our kids slippers this year.  I love her excited face that you can see just below the slippers.

 Here are her jammies, I like how intent Ben and Tyler are on her opening them.

Here Hunter is opening his, how he was sitting was cracking me up, it looks so uncomfortable!

 This is what Christmas morning looked like.

 Poor Aspen was up throwing up quite a bit of the night, we had been up late getting last minute things done, luckily she didn't start throwing up til right after we were done, but we were definitely way tired for Christmas!  She went through several pairs of jammies, so she doesn't even have her new Christmas Eve jammies on for the morning.  She was a trooper though and did pretty good throughout the day!

 

And to wrap up the 2012 year we even got a snow storm!!
