The Zoo in March

And here the girls are bundled up.

Jenna and Evan were the Lion Tamers

Riding the Rhino

Look at these monkeys!!

Aunt Amy and her boys came down to enjoy the spring weather in Utah for their Spring Break. Unfortunately Utah did not decide to cooperate. We decided not to let that get us down and we headed for the Zoo anyway. 38 degrees isn't so bad. HAHAHAHAHAHA

Sunday Strolls.

Jenna takes the cake as the Princess of grumpy
Tyler walking ahead. He was taking his turn at being grumpy.

Go Hannah go--Keep up girl!

Tyler--looking good

Kara-with the sporty girly look

Good catch Ty

As the weather improves, one of our favorite things to do is take Sunday Walks after church. We take a football to toss as we walk up and down the neighborhood streets, talking with friends and spending quality time together. For some reason, these walks always end in tears and pouting. Here's a few shots of our "family time."

Hannah has just recently started "jumping". She tries so hard to get off of the ground. What a sweetheart!!

Jenna's first talk in primary

A couple of weeks ago, Jenna was very excited to inform me that she was giving a talk on March 1st. She was giving a talk on families. So she talked about Adam and Eve, Jesus, Nephi, and her family and that Heavenly Father's plan was so that we could all be born to families.

I didn't think she would be nervous at all, seeing as how she bore her testimony in SACRAMENT MEETING the first Sunday of January. She begged me to take her up. I asked her what a testimony was and she said, "its when you say you love Jesus and your mom and dad." I told her she could do it when she was older. She decided to go to Kara instead and before I knew it, Kara was leading her up to the pulpit. I could barely see the top of her head when she bore her testimony of her love of Jesus and her family.

Talk time was different. We had a hitch. Brent had rehearsed the talk with her because I had to teach primary that day. Hannah decided to have a "freak-out" and Brent had to take her home, so I had to help Jenna. My primary class sat in the back and I had to do my best to help her with her talk. She got a little nervous, but did a great job.

Hannah and Max

Go Figure. Hannah will rarely fall asleep when I hold her and here she is with Uncle Max, her little pillow.

Teeth obsession

I took Jenna to the dentist in January and they cleaned and checked her teeth. Since then, she is constantly asking me when she can go back. She loves the dentist!!! Of course so far she has no cavities. That may change. She also learned about teeth in Pre-school. Miss Shaneen gave all of the kids a tooth-timer and they learned about how to properly take care of your teeth.

Tired out

These are the various sleeping positions we found Jenna in during the weekend that cousins were here. She and Derrick played so hard she was tuckered out.

Day with Dad

Hugs and kisses and everything is good.

Wrestle mania. Notice who is winning. That is generally what happens in this house.

and toenails too. He does a better job than mom.

Jenna's fingernails


Sometimes on Fridays, due to my work schedule, Brent has the opportunity to stay home and be with the girls. On this Friday, I came home and Jenna said she had the "best" day with dad. He painted her fingernails, played hide-and-seek, and all kinds of fun activities. What a great DAD!!!! I have to thank my lucky stars for marrying Brent. One of the most attractive qualities I saw in him when we were dating was that he was a fabulous father. He is a hands on Dad who plays with the kids and teaches them so many things: like jumping off of my mantel (ok maybe thats not so great, but my kids are not afraid of falling :-) ); or wrestling each other; or riding bikes.

the Robertson Rockers Return

Kara was absent during this video and that is why Jenna stepped up. Kara was not feeling well this trip out, so she spent some time recuperating. Get well Kara.

And then there was breakfast: Oh how cute.We made heart-shaped pancakes for all of the kids and then Brent and I did not want to waste the time with hearts and just gobbled down plain round ones. Jenna thought that was wrong. And YES they were Buttermilk pancakes. YUM!!!!

Hannah's bear is named "Princess"

Jenna named her bear "Valentina".

Kara's bag contained a beanie bear and a heart pillow; Ty's was a new ping-pong paddle; Jenna and Hannah both received cute little beanie bears. If you are wondering why there are no pictures of Kara and Tyler, it is because they slept in until 10:00am and Jenna decided to hand deliver their Valentine's instead of waiting for them.

Valentines Day: A day of love and affection. This year on Valentines Day we had a great time showing each other our love. (Yeah Right) Kara and I began the festivities on Friday 13th making homemade Valentines with Jenna. It is a good thing girls take care of the holidays.

What to do when there is so much SNOW

Reading with Dad. Books are a definite must and both my girls love to read.

Jenna's the hot rodder. I have to watch her careful because she still does not realize that she is NOT invincible.


On Sunny days, we get our vitamin C by going outside for walks or bike rides--bundled up of course. Hannah loves the Lightning McQueen car.

We eat popcorn and watch movies

SNOW!!!!!

This year we have had a lot of snow. This is just one incedent where Brent and Jenna went outside at night and went sledding during the softly falling snow.

The Robertson Rockstars!!!

And Kara as lead singer.. Watch out Von Trapps!!! The Robertsons on our their way to the top.

Tyler on the drums

Brent is the true Rocker, reverting back to his glory days of the 80s. He loves to "rock-out" with the kids.

We got RockbandII this year for Christmas and it has proved to be a huge hit.

New Years Eve

Jenna and Hannah were wrestling and it is amazing how Hannah really can get the upper hand on Jenna.

Pretty as a princess!!!
Sparklers!!!



No it is not alcohol.

Hannah and Jenna loved the Sparklers!!!

Hannah opened her cracker and there was a whistle. It was the favorite of the group.

Finished Product: Crown for a PrincessJenna was very careful to work on her gluing and glittering.

Libby working on her masterpeice.

Libby and Jenna

For New Years this year we invited the Tanners up for a grand old time. Kara was at a Youth New Year's Eve Party, Tyler was playing games, and the rest of us had a long way to go til the midnight hour. Thanks to Aunt Leigh-Leigh, we had a box of creative crafts we could pull from so that we could keep the little ones entertained.

I can't believe a New Year is upon us. 2009 and my little ones continue to grow. Kara will be 15 this year learning to drive;Ty will be 12 passing the sacrament; Jenna will be 4 learning to ride a bike; and little Hannah will be 2, growing way to fast for all of us. It saddens me how quickly they grow. Jenna is already talking of going to the big school down the hill from our house. It seems like just yesterday she was born. A new year with new promises and beginnings and hope that our Nation will heal and grow and prosper and more importantly that our families will follow in faith and prepare for what lies ahead.
