Merry Christmas

I am sorry to say, but we are not sending Christmas cards out this year! I just haven't had the desire or the time to worry about it. So here you go!!!

2011 has been a fun year!

January: Mal celebrated her 27th birthday. Payton became a sunbeam at church.

February: Josh rear-ended a car and the honda civic had to be in the shop for a week or so

March: Scarlett celebrated her 1st birthday

April: We got our tax return which is always nice to get! Celebrated Easter with the Robertson Family.

May: Josh totalled our honda civic, this time completely unrepairable. We bought a 2011 Mazda 3.

June: Josh celebrated his 30th birthday. Went camping with two family friends!

July: Uncle Josh came home from his mission! Danny and Jacie got married! Mal and the kids spent most the month in Utah! Uncle Sean came home from his mission

August: We spent a week in Utah with the whole Robertson family

September: Scarlett started nursery at church.

October: Payton celebrated his 4th birthday

November: We found out the we are expecting #3. Celebrated Thanksgiving with both families!

December: We get to spend Christmas with the Robertson's and get to skype with the Cambra's. 

 In case you didn't catch our big news that we found out in November. Here it is...

We are expecting Baby #3 in the beginning of July!

Because of this great news our life for the last 8 weeks has been rough. Mal hasn't been feeling very good. She is very tired, gets sick every day or so, and has really no desire to do anything. Things ARE getting better! We are just about 12 weeks so she still doesn't feel amazing, but definitely better than she has in the past.

We love you all & wish you a Merry Christmas & a 

Happy New Year!!!

Overload!

Life here in the Robertson home as been nothing amazing. We have had a ton of lazy days!!!

 We did enjoy our Thanksgiving. We got to have Thanksgiving a week early with Josh's family and got to spend the week of Thanksgiving with Mal's family. I didn't take any pictures because seriously I have the junkiest/cheapest camera that is awful! I did borrow my friends really nice camera and snapped a few shots of my kids before all the Thanksgiving fun.

Just informing anyone that looks at this post. It is picture overloaded of both Payton and Scarlett!!!

These two little kids bring so much joy to my life!!! I love them both so much and am thankful everyday that the Lord has entrusted me and Josh with them!

Brother and Sister video gaming together!

 Enjoying some popsicles in about 50 degree weather!

 I made the attempt at trying to get some pictures of Scarlett and Payton together. I don't have very many and I want some. You will shortly see the attempt was far from a success, but it shows real life and how unhelpful they are at taking pictures!

 A few of my total favorites!

 They will both hate this picture in about 10 years!

 Another favorite

 Payton loves to make silly faces!

 Scarlett makes so pretty cute faces!

 More silliness!

 After taking a few pictures they just began to wrestle with each other.

 My handsome 4 year old boy!

 These two love their matching sleeper jammies! 

 The cutest thing is that Scarlett has to do everything that Payton does. Its both good and bad!

Payton dressed up as a stud for the Primary Program at our church a few weeks ago. He wouldn't cooperate with me and taking a picture of him. He look very cute though!

As you can see I am obsessed with these two kids and love taking pictures of them! They really bring a tone of love, joy, happiness, and entertainment to our home!

Crafts

Ok so back in October I made a few crafts!

These two were made for Halloween obviously and I love them. They were so easy!

I am sure most people think nothing of these blocks, but they bring back a childhood memory that I love and cherish. We had a set (it was a lot better than this one) that my Aunt Shanna had made for my mom many years ago. We used to love playing with them and getting them set up each Christmas. I had some felt nativity pieces so I decided I would make my own. 

A cute, fun picture idea I had gotten from pinterest!

My good friend Candace and I had a Saturday of making our own fall wreaths. We found the idea on pinterest of course. She and her family came for a Saturday. The kids played, the men watched football, and we crafted. We had a great time!
