Robbie's Teeth

Robbie has almost all of his teeth now. He loves to show them off for us.

Robbie's First Camping Trip

Robbie went camping for the first time last week. I was a little nervous. But, he did awesome! We went with our friends Mike and Sandy. It was so much fun. We made s'mores and tin foil dinners. By the end of the night Robbie looked like Pig Pen. Let's just say he left a ring in the bath tub when we came home the next day.

Final Thoughts on My Trip Back Home

It was so wonderful to be home. I'm glad I was able to see family again. Most of all it was nice to be able to spend time with my mother and my brother. I miss them so much. Robbie loves his Uncle Adam and Uncle Adam loves his Robbie. Family is such a great thing!

Bath time at Grandma's

Every night while we were visiting my mom, Robbie got to take a bath in Grandma's tub. He loves bath time!

Family Picnic

My Auntie Kathy had a big picnic while Robbie and I were visiting. It was so nice to see my family again. I loved being able to watch Robbie play with his cousins and spend time with Grandma Carbone. Robbie had so much fun playing with my cousin's kids, Taylor and Landon.

Baby in a Basket

Isn't it so cute how little kids love to sit inside of the laundry basket and boxes? My brother tied a rope to my mother's laundrybasket and then pulled him around the house in it. It's amazing what will keep a little kid happy.

Robbie and Taylor

Robbie and my cousin's daughter, Taylor had a good time chowing down on the Doritos at Marc and Sara's Fourth of July Picnic. Needless to say, they didn't eat anything else that day that was even remotely good for them.

Robbie and His Green Thumb

Robbie loves to do whatever anyone bigger than him is doing. He, of course had to help Grandma water the flowers. He is such a good helper.

Beach Baby

My mom and I took Robbie to Rocky Neck Beach while we were in Connecticut. Robbie loved the water but, was scared of the waves. When a wave would get near him he would scream and run away from it. It was so funny! We had such a good time.

So Good to See Family Again!

During our visit to Connecticut Robbie and I had the opportunity to go to Maine and visit Grandma and Winka. Also, while we were there we got to see my cousin Kelly and my Uncle Gene. It has been a long time since I've seen them. Kelly is so grown up now. It seems like only yesterday I was painting her nails and playing with her hair.

Robbie and The Rocking Chair

While visiting my family in Connecticut, Robbie discovered my old rocking chair from when I was little. He loved it. This was the first time he ever sat in a chair that was his side.

We Miss Grandma and Grandpa

Grandma and Grandpa Hansen are serving as Mission Presidents in Houston, Texas. They left the end June. It was nice to be able to spend some time with them before they left. Robbie sure misses his Grandpa. He walks around the apartment calling out his name at random times during the day. It is so precious!

Fun At The Park

The first day that the snow melted, we took Robbie to the park. Kerri's brother, Adam, was with us and we all had a blast! At first, Robbie wasn’t too sure what to do besides run in the wood chips, but he quickly learned that playing on the equipment was much more fun.




All of us really enjoyed the time at the park and the warm weather. Even Adam got excited!

Easter

We took some pictures of Robbie and Kerri on Easter Sunday wearing their matching outfits. Later in the day, we went to my grandma's house for Easter dinner and an Easter egg hunt. Robbie was really excited about the hunt and found all the eggs really quickly.

Spring Break

My parents in Phoenix wanted to see Robbie really bad during our spring break. They said that if Robbie could come and see them, that they'd let Kerri and I come too. Robbie was spoiled rotten by his grandparents while Kerri and I enjoyed some much needed R&R. Robbie found a pair of grandma's reading glasses. We took out the lenses out and Robbie wore the glasses for the rest of the week. We had a great time in the warm weather and an even greater time with my parents during our spring break.

A Child-Free Weekend

In an effort to regain our sanity, we took a weekend trip with our friends to Salt Lake. With Heather and Jessi watching Robbie, we made our trip with Rex and Julie King. While in Salt Lake, we went to the zoo. It was Kerri's first time in Kerri's life that she'd ever been to a zoo! We had a great time over the weekend and made a lot of fun memories.

Happy New Year!

This how we celebrated the new year.

Robbie's Visit Back East

In October of 2007 Robbie got to travel back East and visit his Grammie and his Great Grandparents. While in Maine Robbie got to see the Ocean for the first time. It was so cold! Robbie didn't care. He liked having his feet in the water. We also got to visit my Dad's grave while we were there. We planted some mums and Robbie helped. He also got to play with his cousin Taylor he had a lot of fun!
