SEPTEMBER 2011

A Month of Learning, Laughter, and Love.

Hailee started her first day of Pre-School.

She goes to the Purple Panda Pre-School and LOVES IT!



I love to watch bradyn and hailee cuddle on the couch while watching a great movie

Kyle's first big boy bath. Bradyn's face is that of such a proud big brother.

We had an unfortunate incident this month. Mark was carrying Kyle down a hill in a rainstorm when he slipped and fell. While trying to protect Kyle, Mark fell backwards and landed on Kyles leg. Kyle ended up with a broken leg. He was in a lot of pain for a few days but is such a tough little cookie.

We were so excited to have Grandpa and Grandma Robinson come out for a visit.  They spoiled the kids with lots of activites.  Below are the kids experiancing some fall fun on a working farm.  Thanks Mom and Dad for a generously wonderful week!

Some of our greatest moments living here in Illinois are the opportunities we've had to create such a good relationship with the missionaries.  We have grown to love them and they will forever be a part of our family. 

Elder Dahl & Elder Harrison used to be zone leaders in the Peoria area and are now serving as A.P.'s the the Mission President. They stopped in for a pleasant suprise while visiting Peoria.

I LOVE TO SEE THE TEMPLE, I'M GOING

THERE SOME DAY....

Our family had the opportunity to attend the temple with the sister missionaries.  The Nauvoo temple is the closest temple to us (2 hour drive).  Mark was so sweet to watch the kids while I went to the temple with the sisters.

Bradyn this picture of the temple all by himself. I LOVE it!

AUGUST 2011

Bradyn got invited to his little friends (the triplets) birthday party.

Kaylee, Mya, Boe

Bradyn's First day of Kindergarton, waiting for the bus.  I thought I did a great job of not crying until the bus started driving off.  Then I started to panic a little.  Thinking to myself "Why on earth did I just put my baby on a bus all by himself.  He doesn't know anyone.  He is ALL BY HIMSELF.  I can't believe I was trusting enough to do that.  I have never left my son to be so independent for himself."  Needless to say, he LOVED the bus ride and had a great first day of school.

JULY 2011

CRAZY MONTH...thats all I have to say.

Mark was able to do a month of military work in Utah.  Since I had nothing better to do, the kids and I tagged along.  Below are some of the fun times this month.
