HaPPy BiRTHDaY TY!

Well i can't believe this cutie little stinker is already 3!  he has definately been my spice of life.  he is so spunkie and fun...he can drive me crazy one minute then be such a sweetie the next.  even after a long day i am so grateful for this little boy and the blessing he is to our family!  we love you ty face!

 he got a bat and baseball from aunt Di, and he knew just what to do with it....chase Blaine!  haha

 the hit seemed to be his new remote control car.  they were having a blast driving, making tunnels and running into walls!

and Blaine made this adorable card for ty.  it is a 3 made out of minions!  so cleaver. 

 Happy Birthday Ty Guy!

Summer Time

...and the livin is easy!!  love these cute cousins at the pool!

it's so fun being able to play with them all so much!

Happy 4th of July

We hope everyone had a very happy 4th of July!  we spent it in IDAHO!!! it's kind of become a tradition!!  the boys love visiting Grandma and Grandpa and all their Robinson cousins/aunts and uncles!!  we always go to the local parade and enjoy some family fun time!!

 watching the parade down main street...ty was loving it!

 but it got a little loud! (bagpipes, sirens, etc...)

 then i introduced the Robinsons to the "whip cream game"...lets just say we were AWESOME!!

 playing with sparklers

 but again, things got a little loud for ty!!  haha

and of course, the annual picture of grandpa and grand kids in the truck! (minus Kamryn)

YellowStone

we decided to make a fun, quick family trip to yellowstone for a day!  it was so BEAUTIFUL!  the kids loved looking everywhere at everything, but especially loved looking for BEARS! (we didn't see any though)

 such pretty water falls!

 ty loved the "aknockers"!  he was always looking through them!

 a little cousin pow-wow!

 and we got to go see old faithful.  we waited about 45 minutes, but it was totally worth the wait.  so cool!

GiRLS CaMP

oh man...how on earth do you condense girls camp down into one post!  so so much fun!  i was so blessed to go to camp...for the 4th time as a leader!! but this time on the stake level.  the chickas i got to work with were amazing and of course the girls at camp are always so incredible and fun!  so here are just some highlights from such an amazingly wonderful week!

1. i got to work with these hotties!  thanks to becca aka HOT STUFF for these super rad pink shirts.

 sister barbie, hot stuff and sister awesome!

 2. a blast from last years camp past...Jen (and daughter Kambree) came all the way out from Georgia to party with us at camp!  love her!

 3. Becca being time out for 30 minutes everyday!  she was 7+ months prego, but that didn't seem to stop her!

 4. learning the super secret "whipping cream game?" which turns out om pretty good at it surprise surprise!!

 5. SPOOOOOOOOOONS!  it is NOT girls camp if you don't play spoons!!

 6. going to camp with my sister for the FIRST TIME!  we never went together as youth, so here we are now!  so much fun having her and my 2 nieces at camp!!

 7. These girls!  the young women in our ward are by far the BEST!  all of them are so awesome and have such amazing spirits and testimonies...not to mention they are all ADORABLE!!!

 8. miss Kelly!!  every year the YCLs do a spoof on the stake leaders...Kelly was my double...she totally pulled it off!  haha so cute!

 9. and of course MEETING THIS LADY!  my new partner in all things awesome-ness!  Kali is my dancing soul mate!  i am so glad i met this crazy lady...she is not only a super bundle of fun, she is super spiritual and sweet and an amazing friend.  although we did have to duke it out in some dance battles, i think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship!

 10. coming home to my boys and crashing on the couch!!!  i was utterly exhausted, but they were still loving on me.  i sure missed these guys!

of course there were so many other things like crafts, service projects, spiritual lessons, that i have written about in my journal, but i didn't mange to take pictures of all those things.  working with the stake was just as much for me as it was for all the girls.  i met so many great people and learned so many things.  my testimony is always strengthened after girls camp...and after i catch up on some lost sleep i will be ready to go again next year! (hopefully) xoxox
