Grandpa Stubbs' 80th Birthday

This Saturday my dad and aunt Dianna threw a "surprise" 80th B-day for my grandpa, at my aunt Dianna house, it was a really fun time visiting with the family and letting the kids play. The food was great also, so thanks dad and Dianna.

Iron County Livestock Show 2008

This year Jentri was old enough to show a pig in the Iron County Livestock Show, she named her pig Dot's and became quite attached to her, Dot's was a good pig for her, she was a very mello pig, some of them were kind of mean. Brecia, Tyson, Cooper and Jentri all showed and did a great job, thank you Mike Smith for all your hard work! Jentri placed 2nd in her group, I was very proud of her. Her grandpa Stubbs bought Dot's at the auction, and it has been sent to Ariziona, she was really sad to see her leave, I think that was the hardest part of it all. Way to go Jentri!!

Labor Day Parade

Labor Day Parade was fun, a little chilly, but the girls had a blast getting candy and seeing cousins. We went and did the carnival thing on Saturday night, it was kind of rainy and cold but we had a good time. It was also Shad's birthday that day, I totally forgot and ask Shad and Rashell if they would watch Jentri and Lexie while Shawn, Brynn and I went to the home show's with some of his family, so late that night I was talking to grandma Betty and she said something about Shad's birthday and I felt sick, I am such a space case! I called him late that night and told him Happy Birthday and I was so sorry. So Shad I owe you big time!

Back to School

On August 14th school started back after a nice long summer. Jentri is now in 4th grade and she is liking school for the most part, I think that recess is her most favorite subject (ha, ha) and Lexie is now in 1st grade, she is adjusting, it has been hard for her to get use to the all day thing and eating lunch at school. The first few days were the worst but she is getting alot braver! They both have great teachers and that is always a bonus. I'm hoping to get a few things done around the home in the afternoon with them in school but I think that Brynn will still keep me pretty busy, she likes to have full attention lately. She loves to head for the stairs or the bathroom if you are not keeping a close eye on her, she is a good climber so alot of the time we stay behind her and let her practice climbing the stairs. She has been such a blessing to our family, she kind of has three mom's (her big sisters) that love to help, so she is definitely not laking any attention and she knows that.

Robinson Reunion and Brynn's one year old party

This last weekend we had The Robinson Family reunion up at Strawberry Mountain (Jolley property), we stayed down and the Stubbs cabin (sort of, it is in construction right now so we stayed in my dad's trailer) the cabin is looking good, I think that we will all be glad when it is done, anyways the reunion was alot of fun, the kids had a good time, I hardly ever saw Jentri except when it was time to eat, her and the boys where off taking little adventures and making huts. Lexie is having a little anxiety attacts, I think with school starting soon she did not want to be to far from my side, she had a good time with the cousins also. Brynn learned to crawl the week before we left so she got a little dirty and tasted rocks and dirt, she loves to play in the sand box that her grandpa Stubbs made for the grandgirls (ha,ha, no boys yet).
We played alot of fun games, I took up my moms game "The Human Slingshot" it was fun watching the cousins play, we had a few people hit the ground hard, but that was the worst of it.
So thanks to grandma J and her sister for all the hard work putting the reunion together.
Well on Sunday August 3rd was Brynn's 1 year old Birthday! We had a little party at our house once we got home that night, she loved the cake, and got alot of good stuff. I can not believe that she is one now, time flys by. We are so blessed to have Brynn in our family. We love you Boo Bear!

Fun Weekend

Happy 34th Birthday Shawn! We love you! Thanks for being such a good dad and husband.
On Friday July 18th we went up north, we stayed in Provo at The Cotton Tree motel and let Jentri and Lexie swim, that was all they cared about in a vacation.

On Saturday morning Amanda, Riley, Payton, Nick, Zach, Kate, Mac and Hayden all met us and we headed over to Seven Peaks, we spent the day playing in the water, then that night we went to Chucky Cheese to eat dinner, other then Amanda losing her keys ;) we had a nice dinner and the kids loved the games. We had to stop at Target and get some Aloe Vera because the sunscreen didn't work so well. Ouch!

On Sunday morning we all went to the Zoo, I called my cousin Kimese, so her Husband Zack and their cute girls Reagan and Brooke came also, it was fun to see them, they live in Taylorsville so we don't see them alot.

Shawn somehow talked me into letting us have a family dog for his birthday, she is a Welsh Corgi and her name is Lizzy, she is three years old, so she is not way hyper and is over the puppy stage, so I guess we will keep her. I should know better when he spends alot of time on KSL Classifieds. ;)
