FHE at the Robbins

For family home evening we decided to make a big fort in the tv room, eat delicious dessert, and have a party! :) Yes, I know...we are still children. But it was so fun and we have decided we should just leave it up all week! :) Besides Pres loves it...anything for the kids right? ;) We watch movies in it at night and snuggle up. It is the best! Sure do love my little family and love every second I get I spend with them. I am a very lucky girl!

Some of Our FaVoRiTe Treats as of Late

One word....divine :)

Big Girl on Campus

Miss Presley is all about being a big girl. She loves to stand (with a little of my help of course) and she is sitting all by herself! She is really good at it too! She is a strong little cookie :)
The other day I kindly asked her to not grow up and she literally laughed at me! Who does that?! I guess it is inevitable...she is going to anyways. But I am sure having fun watching her grow and develop into her beautiful little self. Oh how I love her!
(sorry for the picture overload:)! )

Walk Walk Fashion Baby

Today I got to watch the Johnson girlies! And boy did we have a PaRtAy! It was a day filled of Wii, movies, games, lots of fruit snacks :), dress up, lipstick, perfume, hide and seek, and we went out to support the officer that was shot and watched the precession.

Tanielle and Chris went to the funeral and ceremony to honor officer Francom. He was a buddy of Chris's and we are all saddened by his loss. It was so amazing to go out and see the amazing support from the community and everyone out to honor a great man.

I was happy to take the girls and play with them for a day so they could go and participate in today's services.

Here is a little documentation of our day and our "photo shoot". Man don't they make great models??! :) They are a riot. I had a blast with them and Presley adores them as well. Tayia was a champ at making her giggle! I don't know if I've ever heard either of them laugh so hard! Sure do love you girls!

6 Months!! What??

When did my little baby get so big?!?!? Tomorrow Presley hits her 6 month mark and it seems surreal. I know, I'm sure all the mothers say that!! But it really does fly by! Here are some pic's that I took so I would remember her at 6 months. :) I sure do love this smiley little baby! She melts my heart, the little rascal. Thankful to be her mommy!

Happy Birthday Tanny!

We got to visit Tanielle, Chris, and the girls on the 22nd to celebrate Tanielle's birthday! We had yummy food, delicious desert, played games, watched the Help, and visited late into the night! It was a blast! Then all the boys went shooting in the morning. They had a blast as well! They are always looking for an excuse to go shoot some guns and be manly :) haha they are the best. We sure do love them and love when they get a chance to spend some quality time doing the thing they love!

Thanks for a fabulous weekend Tanielle! We love you and your family so much and hope that you had an amazing birthday!! You are so wonderful and I am blessed to have you as a sister!

Babys First Christmas!

Christmas was great this year! It is so fun having Pres here and getting to experience all of her "firsts" with her. We had a great Christmas Eve and got to spend it with my familia! We did our annual family traditions and this year Joel got to be Joseph, I was Mary, and Presley was baby Jesus. We sang Christmas songs around the piano, my mom and I stayed up late and prepped Christmas dinner (with Joel as a sidekick/helper), then us three stayed up late watching the Nativity and getting things ready for Christmas morning!

Christmas morning was great as always! Presley loved all her presents but her favorite was the wrapping paper OF COURES! :) It was so fun! She got lots of new clothes, shoes, toys, care bear, and a walker! It was fun watching her play with her new toys, she was a riot! :)

And one of my FAVORITE Christmas presents was getting to talk to my sister on a mission! We got to Skype with her!! It was so good to see her face! Ahhhhh! Oh how I miss her! Love technology and am so grateful I could see her and talk to her when she is all the way in Belgium!
We also go to talk to Kel! Joel's brother that is in Japan on mission! It was so fun and he is doing great! We miss and love our two missionaries and are so proud of them for serving the Lord and building His kingdom. They are amazing!

Christmas day we also got to go and visit my grandma and grandpa Benson. Presley got to go in and see grandpa Benson (the grandpa she is named after-his middle name is Clair and her middle name is Claire). He is not doing very well and we don't know how much longer he has left. I'm so glad that we got to go see him on Christmas day! I got the sweetest picture of him and Grandma Benson with Presley that I will always cherish and I know she will one day as well! It was a very sweet moment. We also got to visit with my aunt Monta Faye and her kids! It was so great to see them.

To top off a wonderful Christmas, we had a delicious dinner at the Robbins! We played, opened more presents, and sat around and visited. I love being with family! They are all so amazing and so important to me.
All in all it has been a fabulous holiday and so much fun! I love being a parent! It opens up a whole new world of joy and happiness! I love every second and this little one is teaching me new things every day. :)
