Sunday Dinner and a Hike

Once a week (usually Sunday) we go to Chet's parents for dinner. We have done this since Olivia was born. We always have such a great time there. Tonight was no exception. After dinner we decided to go on a hike. It was so beautiful! It was warm and the birds were singing and you could smell the grass. Harris had a great time throwing rocks in the muddy puddles along the path and Liv had a good time until she slipped and fell. She only scraped her hand and elbow but since we were hiking they were filled with dirt and gravel! Thank goodness Grandma Wendy has accident prone boys because she had all the stuff we needed to get her cleaned up at home. All-in-all it was a great afternoon!

The Robinson Men

On Monday we went to the Robinson's new house for family dinner and Family Home Evening. We had a really good time. The kids were in heaven! The new house has a full size basketball court and full size pool. Too bad that it is winter and not summer! They did brave the cold, however, and play basketball for about 45 minutes before they were frozen. The picture is of the guys playing Harris's new favorite game Hungry Hippos. I bought it for him after his dentist appointment. He was so good getting his cleaning and (unfortunately) first filling. He did it all without sedation or gas! So he deserved a "prize". What handsome guys!

Chet's Nana and Snow

Ever since Olivia was born, we have gone to the Robinson's once a week for family dinner. Having a weekly dinner has given our kids the opportunity to form close relationships with their grandparents and uncles. Even their "emo" Uncle Chrys enjoys playing with them. :) Seriously though, my kids looove the time we spend at Papa's and Grandma Wendy's.

This week's dinner included a special guest, Chet's Nana, who was visiting from California. Nana used to live with the Robinson's but moved back to California about a year ago. We had a great time visiting and catching up. We miss her and it was good to see her. Love you, Nana!

Also, we had our first official snow storm on Saturday night. The kids were so excited. Harris wanted to build a snowman. I had to explain that there wasn't enough snow. He was mad, but it was all melted by the time church was over, so he got over it. I don't think I am ready for the cold. I am, however, excited for all of the fun holidays coming up! We even got our Christmas lights up on the house! We didn't do it. We have Lights Up do it for us. It was either now or not until after Thanksgiving. Since we will be out of town after Thanksgiving it had to be now.

Happy Holiday's! ;)

OUCH!!!

So tonight was Sunday dinner as usual at the Robinson's, until Harris decided that his bar stool was a "swing". Needless to say he fell off and the stool hit him right in the center of the forehead. After the initial shock and the crying that followed he felt fine. He didn't look fine, but he felt fine. Except when he went to bed he said "Mommy my bump hurts so much." :( The pictures are a progression of "The Bump" as the night wore on. I think that if it doesn't look better in the morning I will take him to the doctor though.
