Christmas Festivities

This weekend was a very fun filled weekend getting us ready for the holiday season.

our awesome Elders gave us a Christmas present, and we had a take a picture of the duct tape wrapping....classic!

This weekend was also our Breakfast with Santa....yumm. it's my favorite every year! the primary kids put on a little program....Blaine was a Shepherd right in the middleThen Jake and a couple of his buddies sang some Christmas songs barber shop style

And then of course the main attraction.... SANTA!

Blainey lost his first tooth!

Congrats to our little blainey who FINALLY lost his first tooth. his bottom tooth has been super wiggly for quite a while now....so daddy finally just popped it off! of course Blaine when straight home and put it under his pillow for the tooth fairy. the tooth fairy left him a very cool dollar coin. he now has another wiggly tooth on top and he is excited for it to fall out!

his cute new jack-o-lantern smile!

"Tis the Season....

Mint Joe Joe's....LIFE IS GOOD!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We hope everyone had a HAPPY THANKSGIVING! ours was great! it started with Blaine and me making "Turkey Sugar Cookies!"....i guess it's sort of becoming a tradition. But Blaine's hand are getting bigger, which might create a problem in the future....seeing that this year his hands were so big the cookies kept falling apart!but, they all came out cute, and more importantly...DELICIOUS!! then off to Grandma and Grandpa California's for some family fun and feasting! rachel settling down for a thanksgiving nap, while Rich plays Legos! we had to get home at a decent hour so that Jaime and I could catch some ZZZZZ's before waking up at..... yep... that clock says 2 AM!! out the door to hit the sales. we didn't do crazy Toys R Us (who opened at midnight) but we were in line for doors to open at 3AM! what a great weekend! how does Jaime manage to look adorable at 2am....i look like a total zombie! haha

Just Another Day at the Robinsons

Blaine and i hit up some of the "After Halloween Sales" and found these awesome sumo costumes....we have WAY too much fun!

THE STAND!

Jake had a very fun project a couple months ago...he wanted to make Blaine a stand that he could sell stuff at ie."lemonade stand". Jake also had another reason why he wanted to make the stand....he wanted BLAINE to have something as a memory that his DAD made (meaning something Jake made)...and not only memories of things GRANDPA CALIFORNIA makes. My dad has helped build lots of things around here...shelves, mirrors...A PIRATE SHIP!!! anyway, Jake made a pretty cool stand..."OUT OF SCRAP WOOD" (he wanted me to add) And now it has kind of become a saturday tradition to go out and sell stuff. since it has been so H-O-T here, Blaine has been selling otter pops and snow cones and business it doing pretty well. We think as it gets colder, we will have to think of something else to sell. well, here are some cute pictures of my little sales man out at work today:

Blaine will yell across the street to people walking by "Hey...wanna buy an snow cone"....i have to admit it's pretty cute, that probably why people end up buying something. Blaine just has a way with people. and it's always nice when the neighbors come out to support him...I mean, his prices are MUCH better then the ice cream man!

of course when business is slow, Blaine keeps himself occupied by playing Legos outside with Dad. he wouldn't want to miss a customer....SO COME ON DOWN AND GET YOUR SNOW CONES HERE

Happy Halloween

it was the year of STAR WARS on our street! Blaine had a blast treat or treating with the neighbor kids...

Happy Halloween...love the Robinsons
