Front 2: Christy, Kelsey
Robertson Men
Brothers
Back 4: Michael, Joel, Josh, Ryan
Bottom 3: Brady, Kevin, Sean
These boys can never be serious! Also have to be doing something crazy! I guess they never really fully grow up. I can speak for Josh cause I married him. He totally reverts back to being a kid when he is with his brothers. They mess around all the time, talk trash to each other, and just really keep us wives and sisters a little embaressed for them. They have a great time so we just allow it!
 The boys with their mother! As you can see by their smiles, they just love their mom and think the world of her! As it should be of course!
 Trying to get these 12 to all work together for a picture was very entertaining to watch. They all had to talk at the same time and struggled to listen to anyone. 
The siblings from oldest to youngest

Definitely a one of a kind group of siblings!

Cabin Fun Continues!

The kids were able to take turns and shooting BB guns and the bow-n-arrow at the target.
Josh helping Payton with the BB gun
Payton has started enjoying shooting more and more. Some day Josh wants to get an airsoft gun so he and Payton can shoot.
The cousins taking turns!
(Benji and Carter)
The kids knew the rule of staying back behind the roped off area until it was their turn.
Sean helping Carter and Kylee
Sean helping Carter, Kevin helping Olivia
Jaydn showing that he doesn't need help. Sean helping Brinlee!
Cute Brinlee, Uncle Joel
Payton and Scarlett crashed for bed time every night. They are just so cute and peaceful when they sleep.
We headed to Bear Lake for part of the day. Their was a pile of sand that the kids loved playing in. The water was FREEZING! Most kids barely got their feet wet!
Josh took Scarlett down to the water.
Payton loved playing in the sand pile!
Father daughter cuteness!
Mother daughter! 
The kids threw rocks, played in the sand, and some people went on a hike.
We enjoyed the sunshine and enjoyed talking! Its so nice that the kids play so great together. Both Payton and Scarlett are pretty easy that they just play and don't really need us to watch them like a hawk anymore. It was quite nice to be able to relax and not stress about my kids. They loved all the freedom that they had.
Scarlett walking back up from the water!
The brothers played with the frisbee. It only went in the water a few times! I think only 1 injuring occurred while playing, but nothing terrible!
Payton and Olivia got very brave and both ended up getting quite far into the water. I was a little shocked that Payton got in the freezing water!
Braden just chilling on the dock!
This picture shows how wet Payton got! He didn't even complain. He actually kept going back in! 
You can never have the Robertson brothers all together without some kind of challenge that will occur.
Brady and Sean decided it was a good idea to dive into the freezing water. They of course walked down the deck to take on the challenge. Ryan and Michael couldn't resist the urge to go and just push them in. I believe they did push Brady in. They attempted to try and throw a few others in, but it was unsuccessful because they actually listened to their conscious.
Brady thought it would be a bright idea if he stood on the top of this little brown building and do a back flip off into the water. He of course did this and freaked everyone out. We all thought he wasn't going to clear the deck, luckily he did. Mom did have a little chat with him after about how unsafe that was!
He and sean also did a front flip into the water at the same time. Thats what the picture above of the 2 splashes you see are!
The family watching as Brady and Sean were doing their tricks into the water!
The last night we had a little family evening where we celebrated grandpa's 60th birthday and we celebrated grandma and grandpa's 40th wedding anniversary.
Christy put together this amazing book from the whole family. It was everyone's testimonies in it! The book looked amazing! I know grandma and grandpa loved it! The evening was amazing and the 12 kids each shared a memory of their dad. What a great night it was to be a part of. 40 years ago it started with just mom and dad, now there is over 40 people total in the family. The family will just keep growing rapidly as the years continue to pass on.
The weekend was an amazing time! We each love being all together. Its fun playing games, trash talking, having real adult conversations (not a common occurence), seeing all the cousins play, and just being all together as a family. Its so fun because their is no drama when we are together! It's a blessing being a part of the Robertson family!
