The Video...

Well, if you haven't seen it via email or facebook yet, here you go!

No 30-year-old widow here!

So, I almost became a 30-year-old widow on Saturday and my kids almost became fatherless. We are SO thankful for a wonderful Father in Heaven that was watching over Adam and brought him home safely to us.

I'll post MY experience soon: how I found out, my thoughts & feelings, and the rest of the story.

Catch Up Newsletter

So, about every 4-6 months, my mom makes me and my 7 siblings write a family newsletter. We each tell about what we've been up to since the last newsletter and submit it to her. She compiles it into one big packet and sends it to each of us. We all hate taking the time to write it, but we all LOVE reading each others letters. Yes, we have a love-hate relationship with our family newsletters. :)

Anyway, since I am so lame and far behind on my blog, I figured I would just post our newsletter to catch up! Hope you enjoy it!

Best Friends

Friends are a wonderful thing. I will forever be grateful for the friends I had during my childhood, teen years and today.

I am also grateful for the friends that my children have today. I pray that my children will continue to choose friends that will be good influences on them and encourage them to make good choices.

Here are some fun pics of my kids with their BFF's.

Dream Come True

For as long as I can remember, I had begged Adam to take me on a cruise. My dream finally came true over Valentine's Day weekend. We had a wonderful time and it was everything I imagined it would be!

We had never left our kids for that many days, but I didn't worry one bit because I knew they were safe and happy in the hands of a few of my wonderful friends. Thank you, thank you!!

Here are a few pics for you to enjoy:

I'm a traitor!

So, a few months ago, my camera got the hiccups and wouldn't let me download my pictures to my computer. I lost my habit and drive to keep my blog updated since I didn't have my pictures to share.

Then I discovered Facebook.... I became severely hooked on it and even though I got my camera downloading fixed, I have neglected my blog. I'm not even going to TRY to catch up because SO much has happened since my last post.

So, please forgive me and be my friend (on and off Facebook!). I promise to post more often.

My Little Rascal

My sister brought it to my attention that my Becca has a familiar face.
Remember "Darla" from Little Rascals?









What do you think?

4th Grade Play

Brittney's 4th Grade play was last week. She was chosen to be one of the dancers. Check her out!

My Hoola-Hoop Champ

We recently went to a school festival where they held a hoola-hoop contest for the kids. I talked Brittney into doing it and she WON! Listen closely to the announcer and watch her in action.

Becca loves to dance

If Becca hears a good beat, she starts dancin' and shakin'! We were at the zoo with some friends when some fun music came one. Thought ya'll might enjoy these videos:

Drive-In Movie!

A few weeks ago, we took the kids to a drive-in movie theater to see High School Musical 3 and Beverly Hills Chihuahua. What a blast! Before the movie started, the kids played on the playground. Here is a video of Becca & Brittney on the swings.

HOPE Fun Run

Brittney & Keldan participated in the H.O.P.E. Fun Run a few weeks ago. Brittney ran 1 mile and Keldan ran 1/4 mile. I was so very proud of them.

Thru The Years

This Heritage Makers book is a compilation of photos and memories beginning with when my parents met each other and ending when my oldest brother left home - 20 years later. Enjoy!

Halloween Pics

This year was a fun Halloween full of family traditions fulfilled.

1. Picking a pumpkin at a pumpkin patch. We always have to take lots of cute pictures with the pumpkins. Then Adam has to find the perfect one for his carving. We let each of the kids pick one this year too.
2. Dad carved a pumpkin. In fact, Brittney carved one this year too (a hippy, with PEACE glasses). Keldan drew Darth Vader with markers on his pumpkin. I helped Becca draw a butterfly on hers.
3. Trunk-or-Treat at church. Unfortunately, I was out of town last week and missed trunk-or-treat. Therefore, we have no pictures, which is probably a good thing since Adam had to do the girls hair and Keldan forgot his shoes!
3. Traditional costumes. Brittney was a beautiful witch with feather trimmings (mom let her put on some eye make-up too!). Keldan was a Storm Trooper (yes, he was Anacin last year and Darth Vader the year before). Becca wore a poodle skirt and was the cutest 50's girl ever!
4. Traditional dinner. Well, sort of. My mom always made a big pot of chili beans for dinner on Halloween. I had a craving for Taco Soup, so I figured that was close enough. Mmmmm!
5. Trick-or-Treating, of course. First we stopped by the neighborhood Halloween Ho-Down put on by a local church. Played some games, ate some food, jumped on the bounce house... Then off to Trick-or-Treating we went. Becca had so much fun. She had to run almost the whole time to keep up, but she loved it. Our house is in the middle of our neighborhood, so at the half-way point, we stopped to empty the loot and then continued with the other half of the houses. Holy Cow, we came home with A LOT of candy!!
6. An new tradition: Mini Carameled Apples. I had a blast making these! We gave some out to neighbors and ate them up so fast that I didn't get a good picture of the best looking batch.

Enjoy the pictures!!!

I'm BAAAACK.....

I left Blogger for a short while, thinking I might like WordPress better, but I was wrong.

I'll try to get the posts transferred over here, but in the meantime, you can see our September & October's blog posts here: http://txrobisons.wordpress.com/

Bluebonnets

Adam was out of town, so I grabbed some white shirts and drove up to Brenham for the Bluebonnet Festival. Check out these cute pics. Brittney and Keldan took some of them too!

Summer Vacation 2007

Our 5-week road trip was quite an adventure. It was long, but fun! We traveled from Houston to Arizona to Utah to Idaho to Kentucky and then back to Houston!!! (Adam joined us in AZ and KY)
We saw just about every member of our extended family, so it was well worth it!

Here I go!

Ok, I guess I'll join the blogging community. This is my first post and I'm not quite sure what will be said, but here I go!

This is a picture on my kids, Keldan (5), Becca (16 mo.), and Brittney (7) in Dec. 2006.
