Alivia's Baby Blessing

The next weekend after arriving home from Sacramento, I drove to Fresno with just the kids. My cousin Cara's baby was being blessed. The kids really have a lot of fun with their "California Cousins" so we went for a visit. Drew wasn't able to go because of work. The kids had a great time playing out in the country. They had a water balloon fight, ran through the sprinklers, and jumped on the trampoline. They also were able to ride on the 4 wheeler, at least Teagan did. Jimmy showed Teagan how to drive it by himself, and he did a great job. Unfortunately, the 4-wheeler had a problem before Quin could ride. So, Jimmy took him out on the lawn mower. We also visited the dairy where my cousins Callie and Kyle live. Kyle was nice enough to give us a tour of the dairy and let the kids pet the baby calves. We also swam and rode on the motorized trucks at my uncle Jon's and aunt Sandy's house. It was a great weekend! Thanks to all of my family for letting us invade your houses!

Drew's 30th Birthday!

Drew turned 30 this year on August 4th! I know that he wasn't too excited to turn the big 3-0, but I think he handled it quite well. The kids and I took him out to dinner for his birthday, and we made him a homemade cheesecake. We tried to make the day special for him, so that he wouldn't feel too bad about being so old! Happy birthday Drew!

Yummy cheesecake!

Sacramento

We took a trip up to Sacramento in July to visit Drew's family for about a week. We had lots of activities planned for the kids while we were up there. We went to the lake one day and rode on the Seadoos. The kids loved swimming in the water and playing with their cousins. They also each took a turn driving the seadoos. We also went to the Jelly Belly factory one day with Great-Grandma Olive. We had dinner at John's Incredible Pizza one night, where we playing games and rode on a roller coaster. We also went to Fairy Tale Town. Overall, it was a great trip. The kids love to see their grandparents and play with their cousins Dylan and Landon, who they don't get to see very often. We really wish that we could make it up there more often than we do.

Fish Lake 2010

So I know that I'm so far behind on blogging, but we did so much this summer that I haven't had time to keep up. So I'm going to try to get everything done here soon, starting with Fish Lake.

We had our Robison Reunion at Fish Lake again this year. The kids had a great time. There were lots of fun activities for them to do. Lots of games and crafts each day to keep their interest. They also had fun just running around outside. Fish Lake is such a great place. I can let the kids run around and not have to worry about what they are doing. Teagan was even helping his older cousins catch water snakes! The kids love going there every year! They still aren't that fond of fishing yet, but it's getting better. They like to catch the fish, they just don't want anything to do with them once they are caught. Taryn even had a great time this year. She just loves to be outside. The kids were definitely sad when we had to leave.
