I tag everyone who reads our blog!

I can't believe How Scatter Brained I can be!

Okay, so I am really happy that I figured out how to blog and put on pictures and we happen to just have a camera that works and the stuff to put the pics on the computer. Yah for me! But something had to go and ruin it all.

Rick and I and kids went to Nauvoo to help and see Grandpa Robinson get sealed to his parents in the temple. We were headed to see the sites on Sunday. I asked Rick to take out the diaper bag to the van (15 passenger hunk of a vehicle). For some reason he set it on the ground by the van. Our van was almost blocked in by another 15 pass van so Rick did some mighty fine maneuvering to get out of this drive way. He maneuvered right over the diaper bag and over the camera. So sad.

Then Rick surprised me with a new one for part of a late birthday/anniversary gift. It is better, prettier and just does more cool things. Even has a Charger so I don't have to keep buying batteries.

Make a long story not as long, I lost the charger somewhere. It is going to drive me crazy! I know I put it somewhere with Rick's phone charger so they " wouldn't get lost". AHHHHHH!!! So I decided to just start writing instead of only pictures. Turn it into a journal type thing along with a scrap book. I guess that is one way to start writing in a journal. So now with this blog we are going to get up close and personal at times!!! Hope to hear from all of you soon.

Park Day with Grandma Robinson and Kara

Aunt Kara was in charge of taming the tree monkeys.

Grandma said, "I'll give you three chances and if you don't behave.....".

We had to play patty-cake about 6 times in a row to get her to be happy.

Grandma lets the love shine through for her grandkids. Love you Grandma.

Kara is the best Aunt ever with the kids. She loves them, plays with them, and always tries to help to keep them happy in any way she can. We love you so much Aunt Kara.

Thanks Grandma and Kara for sharing our park day with us!
