School Days - First day!

Always a fun time of year...a new school year! Jace was super excited because he was starting Kindergarten!

Just before heading to the bus stop!






Waiting in line at the bus stop with cousins Tanner and Nathan! So fun to go to the same school as their cousins!

The bus! Jace just absolutely loves riding the bus!

Jace's classroom!

Halle all ready to learn!

Fail Family Reunion

This year the Fail Reunion was up in Payson Canyon.

This is Ella and her cousin Aubrey playing.

Craft time with grandma.

What Halle ended up making during craft time.
Bundled up near the fire pit.
Heading home, we stopped in the canyon and took a short hike to a little waterfall. Here is Ella posing.

Halle posing!
Walking across the little creek on our way to the waterfall!

I told you it was a little waterfall!! The kids loved the hike though...Ella now not in the mood to take a pic!

Me and the kids!

Jace posing!

Ella on our way back to the car. She decided to slide down a little hill rather than walking down it!

Playing Ball! Summer 2009

Jace playing t-ball and Halle playing machine pitch is one of our highlights throughout summer.

Random pics of Jace catching and throwing the ball from the outfield.

Jace getting bored and playing in the dirt.

More catching the ball. I kind of got picture crazy!

Time for a break!

Running to home base!


The fans! Cute pic of Halle, Ella, and their favorite cousin McKayla!

Halle's turn! Look at that stance!

Her turn to be catcher...getting all geared up!

Play ball!

Pineview Reservior July 24th

July 24th is a holiday here in Utah as well as Grandma's birthday. We celebrated by going boating at a nearby reservior! We come here often every summer! Too much fun!

My niece McKayla and I braving the tube being pulled by the boat! We lasted for a bit but then got a little nervous and tired!

Halle and I on the tube. That girl of mine has noooo fear!


Halle and Uncle Dave! Again...no fear! Dave said she was laughing the entire time!

Mike and Ella relaxing on the boat!

Jace getting tired of being in the sun!

My cute little Miss Ella!

Halle Magoo as we call her!

I love this pic of Jace. This was a tube that you can pull behind the boat but it is pretty crazy to do so...the kids just played with it in the water instead.

Ella having a blast in the water by herself!


Halle again on the tube with her cousin McKayla! Boy do we enjoy grandpa's boat! Thanks for taking us grandpa!

Celebrating July 4th!

We usually just sit in front of our house to see the local fireworks every July 4th. We have a great view!


Soooo memorizing!


Sparklers!! Ella was a bit nervous but then got used to the idea!



Robinson Family Reunion

This year, grandma and grandpa Robinson opted to rent out this absolutely fabulous cabin that happens to be Mike's cousin's. It was soooo much fun!! The cabin had 11 rooms and so it was perfect for the entire Robinson family. We loaded up the van and headed out. There was a pond in the back for canoeing plus Mirror Lake close by to go fishing. Lots of fun stuff to do. We stayed for a week and just had a blast! Here are some pics!

Mike and the kids canoeing!

Fishing at Mirror Lake! This was a beautiful spot!

Mike looking like a somewhat fisherman!

Halle and Mike!


Love this shot! Look at the tongue action Halle has as she casts her fishing pole!

Like father like daughter!

Red light green light on the balcony!

Halle and I 4-wheeling! This was fun! I want a 4-wheeler now!

Going for a walk!

Halle...I swear everytime she gets in front of the camera, she looks sooo dang cute! The camera loves her! This was at a small old cabin we found just behind the cabin we stayed at!

Family pic!

I thought this was a cute pic the way Mike decides he is going to hold Miss Ella on our way back from our walk!

Ella found some flowers to give to mom...along with a funny facial expression!

More fishing at a little fishing spot near the cabin!

Halle found a funny little stick and of course struck a pose!

Just a cute pic I thought walking back from fishing!

Mike and I decided we would take a romantic get away on the 4-wheeler! Pretty fun!!

Jace and his cousin Talmage playing dress up at the cabin!

This was on our way back home where we stopped at a waterfall along the Provo River. Another fun week of summer!
