Welcome Elsie Amy Robinson

Our sweet baby arrived March 16th.  This was not my most enjoyable labor & delivery but in the end she made it and we are both doing great!  Here are some pictures of her so you can enjoy her "cuteness" along with us.

 This is Elsie with her Great Grandma Kjar.  Elsi was just over a week old here.

Elsie is such an answer to prayers and our little angel.  We LOVE having a newborn in our home again.  There is nothing like the sweet spirit they bring when they come straight from our Father's arms.

School & Stitches

Tracey and my mom were up and we had gone shopping.  The kids were tuckered out and I had to get a picture of them relaxing and getting "tickled".

Erick's first day of pre-school. He is doing great and has friends in his class.

The girls' first day of school.  Aren't they just beautiful.  It's crazy how fast they are growing up.  Aubree is in 2nd grade and Alexa is in 1st grade.

This is Jason's leg with his stitches from cutting himself with a chainsaw.  It looks awesome now.  This picture was taken a couple days before he got his stitches out.  We are so blessed he even has a leg.  It could have been so much worse.

glasses, ears, and cars

The top picture is before . . .  the bottom is after tubes in the ears and adneiods removed.  This little guy is such a trooper.  He wanted to jump on the trampoline when we got home and the only thing he wanted to eat was Pizza.  He wanted to eat pizza because he had to fast before we went in for surgery and on the way to the hospital we passed Little Ceasars and he must have put it in his mind that he wanted pizza and nothing else was going to do.  When we got home I had to talk him into eating a couple of crakers and a little bit of Chicken Noodle soup first before downing 2 pieces of pizza.  Don't starve this kid or he'll take two days to catch up!!!

Aubree's cute new glasses!!!!  She went to school very nervous but all the kids loved them and wanted some.  Now she's good with them.

Alexa had to make a mode of transportation from a box and take it to school for the "Kindy 500".  They drove all over the school to different locations and learned about places in the United States.  She had a blast.  We made a cute airplane!!!

I thought I'd throw one picture of Easter in there.  We had a great Easter and took a ton of pictures rolling eggs and hunting eggs, but I won't post them because then I would have to post a ton.

LOVE Red Cliffs!!!!

We went to Red Cliffs a couple of weekends ago with Amber and Andy, Becky, Tony and Kayleen's kids, and Grandma!  Don't mind the closed eyes in the picture.  Everyone looked great in this one so I thought I'd take one for the team.

Grandma with the Grandkids!

Jason and I

I love this man!

The clan minus the picture taker, me.

This was as far as we went.  There were a ton of people and we decided that it might be fun trying to help that many kids over the pass with the rope.

Erick and his stick.  No matter where we go he finds a stick and holds onto it for the whole time

Erick grabbed two sticks and was hunched over walking like an old person with two canes.  That kid has so much personality.

Me posing on a tree over the water.

Handsome little man

Beautiful, mischevious girl

This was such a cool picture.  Amber trying to jump over the water.  I love her shadow in the water.  We had a great time.  Family is so important.  Family is EVERYTHING!

Mini Vacation

Jason had some training in St. George all of last week.  At the last minute I decided to pull the girls' out of school and go down with him for a couple days.  We had such a good time!!!  We were able to spend time with Grandma and Grandpa Robinson on the way down and the way back home.  While we were in St. George I ran into Janielle Anderson Ohlson who lives in St. George.  We went hiking the next day with her and her familiy.  It was so fun!  Thanks Janielle!!!!  Later that day I let the kids swim in the outside/heated pool.  I didn't get in but they sure had a good time.  After Jason got out of training we went bowling with Aunt Susan.  We love to spend time with her, the kids adore her!  We needed that mini vacation.  It's good for me to remember to have fun with the kids and not be "mommy" all the time!!!!!

Above: us hiking  Below: the kids charging into the crack (which Janielle and I barley made it through!)

Erick and LuLu holding hands, it was so cute!

Aubree at the entrance of some indian (?) cave that was way cool!

The kids loved this bridge.  Aubree was a little scared to cross it because it was over a ravine, but Alexa just ran across.  Erick was ok but had to hold on.

After Aubree would throw the ball she would back up with her hands like this watching to see how many pins she knocked over.

This was Alexa throwing the ball and then her reaction to her STRIKE!!~!!

Erick was hilarious.  He would lay down and watch the ball take FOREVER to get to the pins.  One time it hit the pins and started rolling back up the lane to us!!!  We were laughing so hard!

We love you Susan!!!!!!
