a hiking we will go

last weekend we went for a fun little hike with my sisters and a friend.  there was a kid friendly trail that we took...the kids loved it and loved "exploring" in the rocks.  even ty was running around trying to keep up!
 all the kids...minus the little ones who couldn't climb up the rocks!
  My sister Diana and her sweet little Carlee!
 ty absolutely LOVED throwing rocks into the little river!
 Jake, Blaine and Joey
i think that was the first of many times going there...lots of fun trails and new adventures.

What we've been up to...

we've made our way to AZ...and here is what we've been up to lately.....
 the boys were the best travelers EVER...it was just me and the boys, so i was totally blessed to have a good drive
we have already found a good walking path around the beautiful lake.  and of course it's always more fun with cousins!
 on our drive home one night, baby Carlee was crying and the next thing we notice Ty was holding her had....trying to comfort her.  so sweet!
 Blaine received a super special package in the mail...his California classmates made him a little book of letters...he loved it!
 we were able to celebrate my sister Diana's birthday.
 and celebrate Anna's birthday with ice cream cones at the park
and lastly i have been able to spend lots of time with this cutie little face!  we love playing with baby Carlee!  what a sweetie!  :)m m

Robinson's Favorite Things week....kind of!!

The week before we were planning on taking off to AZ, we wanted to do ALL of our favorite things in California!
MONDAY: this was a double whammy....we were able to go to Disneyland WITH the Priors. 2 of our favorite things.

TUESDAY:  my mom and i had started a wonderful tradition of Taco Tuesday...so we hit up Cafe Rio one more time (since our other favorite place shut down grrrrr).
i also got my hair done one more time...now THAT is purple! thanks Courtney!


WEDNESDAY: i was able to sneak in one last class at Jimmie Defores....thanks Danny, Joy and Kelvin for always dancing with me! 

THURSDAY we went to the park and met up with my good friend Julie...i got to see he cutie new baby!!

FRIDAY: Blaine was able to go to his buddy Andin's birthday party! they switched the day just so we could go...so sweet!  it was great for Blaine to hang out with his buds one more time!
but poor Ty baby was getting really sick! so we snuggled most the the day.

Friday was also the day our car broke down (nice) on our way to one last going away party thrown by my good friends Paige and Marissa.  i will post more pics of that later.  
we were suppose to be on our way to AZ on saturday, but with no car and a sick baby, that has been postponed.  after 5 days of sickies and fever we took ty to urgent care on sunday and found out he has an ear infection and bronchitis.  poor guy!  once ty gets better and we get the car working, then we will take off to AZ.  we are trying to count this as a blessing....we rather the car break down here than in the middle of the desert, and we would rather ty get sick here than in AZ where we don't know Drs and where my sister's kids are since we will be staying with them.  (we would hate to get them sick)
i have come to realize....it doesn't always matter what YOU have planned, sometimes the LORD has another plan for you.  this is our little hurdle we have to endure before we take off for our next adventure.  at least we got a few fun things in..now we are just laying low!

saying good bye part3

Seriously, we LOVE our street and we are sooo sad to be leaving! after our super yummy night out at Laguna Thai, we decided to also have an inpromptu block party/BBQ/fire pit.  EVERYONE could come and say good bye one more time...kids too.  we love all you guys. keep all the street traditions going strong.



 yummy cake made by our sweet neighbor girl Jamie...and her friend

Saying Good bye part2

we have such amazing neighbor...as i'm sure you have seen from previous posts.  a few months back i mentioned that it would be so fun if all the adults went out to dinner at Laguna Thai (which is owned by neighbors).  well Greg (another sweet neighbor) actually remembered that i had said that and set up for us all (minus a couple) to go out together before we moved!!

 the restaurant isn't super big, so we took up most of it!!

 my most favorite appitizer,,,avacado and cream cheese filled!!
 Nan and A...the owners!  love them!


 afterwards we went back for dessert, which was AMAZING!!! the best choc cake i have EVER tasted!!...of course there was a little dancing and parting too!  :)
we are sure gunna miss our neighbors!!
