Christmas 2008

Christmas morning was great!! We woke up and picked through our newly made stockings and then we made our way to the tree. Jaron got some new snowboarding mittens, a cute little egg sized frying pan and spatula, Call of Duty 4 for his Xbox (below are before and after pictures of that) and two books by his current favorite author, Dinesh D'Souza.

In my family the 5 kids 'pick names' for Christmas, but we don't really because somehow every year I get my brother, Brigham, and he gets me. CRAZY! I really don't mind it though, I love my bro. This year he send us some of the best hot chocolate EVER, Stephen's. THANKS BRIG!!

Even though my sister, Jenni (Nini), didn't 'have me' for Christmas she still got us something. Sweet, huh!? She got us an authentic Spanish Churrera (a little thing that makes churros) and a chocolate bar to make Champorada (Mexican hot chocolate). Nini was in Bolivia for Christmas, but called in the morning to wish a Merry Christmas. Below is the Churrera and me on the phone with her. Thanks Nini!

Along with all these wonderful gifts I also got a WAY cool, new and improved backpack. I love it, but its white -- I'll get it so dirty, Chacos (outdoorsie sandals that last a lifetime), way cute scrapbooking stuff from Jaron's sister, Kristin & hubby, Brandon (somehow they always give the best gifts, Jaron and I can't figure out how they do it). We also got some gift cards from fam, Target is always good, thanks "dad-in-law" and The Pie is the best, how did you know BA?!

I love Christmas so much, but my family is so fantastic with their gifts that it makes me feel like such a flakey piece of dog poop. Thanks to all of you that love us, we love you too!

Pre-Christmas!

OK! So, I know I haven't done a thing in about a month, sorry to all my faithful followers. You should be on overload after these next two blogs.

The after Thanksgiving Day sale (Black Friday) usually renders good deals, but in our case there was one GREAT DEAL! Sears was blowing out these Panasonic 42" Plasma TV for cheap, so we snagged one. We got in home before Christmas, but that was our Christmas. We got each other little stuff, but a TV that's inexpensive really isn't cheap.

Here are Jaron and I loving the box that contains the most expensive thing we own, except our cars, but not by much.











Before Christmas I took it upon myself to make us some stockings. We each picked out our favorite fabric and I went crazy from there. It progressed into a big project including: fleece, fringe and a lot of patience. Jaron's is on the left (Army camo with green fleece inside and black fringe that Jaron wasn't too happy about) and mine on the right (brown with blue pokadots, blue fleece interior and blue accent fringe). I had lots of fun making them and experimenting since I didn't have a pattern.



Christmas morning!! Us in our pjs and our cute little space-saving tree (we got it from Jaron's sister, Kristin two years ago). As you might notice our new TV is in the background with a big bow. We've already watched a ton of TV in one month, including a cute old Christmas claymation called Rudolph that my sister, Beth Anne, got for me for my birthday. Thanks BA!

To see how the rest of Christmas was see the Christmas blog.

New Baby=Perks!

My sister, Sariah, was the first week of January, but for some reason she can't go full term. Her really good friend through her a surprise baby shower early and it just so happened to be during the time my Aunt was in town from New Orleans. On the way up to the shower my mom, right, my Aunt Judy, left, and I went to The Olive Garden for dinner, yum!

Sariah was so surprised, but then she understood why her hubby had a sudden urge to clean the entire house.

My present to Ria was some belly cream, which I'm sure she didn't get the chance to use because Alexander came 7 weeks EARLY. I also made him some cute blocks.

Here's a close up on the blocks. I covered them with Modge Podge (non-toxic) so he can gum them as much as he wants.


Sariah and Jeremy bought tickets to Disney on Ice to go with their daughter, Sabrina, before the baby came. What they didn't know was that Alex came the morning of Disney on Ice. Score for the Robbins! We got to borrow my niece for the night and go to Disney on Ice.

Sabrina in front of the castle where all the skaters came out on the ice.


At the end almost all the skaters from the 'skits' came out on the ice together, if you look close you can see Timon, Pumba, Buzz, Goofy and Daisy (Sabrina was real excited to see Daisy because when they went to Disneyland Daisy was on vacation).


There were some cool pyrotechnics at the end of the show, you can probably see all the characters better in this one. You can also see how packed the Energy Solutions Arena was, WAY packed.

Jaron's favorite was Aladdin, Sabina's was the skit with all the princesses and their respective princes and mine was the Lion King, good times!

It is official, he's a MAN!

After months of pestering me and bugging vendors at midnight and searching for the perfect one at the perfect price Jaron bought a gun. He's so proud of himself too. I can't tell you how many pictures he has made me take of him with his NEW toy.

I don't know much about guns, but from what he has said, I think he got a 12-gage shot gun - maybe. He got it from someone on KSL, he called him at like 6:00 am and woke him up to ask if anyone else had contacted him yet. Apparently guns are a hot commodity right now, something about Obama becoming President makes people scramble to buy as many guns as they can get their hands on.

I just know that Jaron says that he's a real man now. He doesn't have any bullets yet, but at least once a day he'll take it out of the case and aim it at something and pretend to shoot. Then he'll pump it/cock it (I don't know what to call it) like five times and aim it twice more then put it back in the case. He's so happy with himself. Isn't he just so cute with his little gun?!

Outting with the 900 Court Crew

We love living here at the University of Utah married student housing, we've found some really awesome friends that we'll love forever. The 900 court is by far the BEST place to be! On Saturday night a few of us went up to some private property and had a small fire, it was SO nice. The weather was fantastic and the boys go up there to go shooting, so there were rock chairs already set up. We had smoores and banana boats and the boys just so happened to have their guns too so we all had to pose with them, Jaron is so proud. Don't worry mom, the guns weren't loaded.

Me, Meghan Huntsman, Kristen Seiuli and Teresa Swift. The two in the middle are expecting, I'm SO excited for them, they are both going to have such cute baby girls!

The boys thought that since Corey is on the football team he could totally hold them all..and they were right. Corey on bottom, Pete, Jaron and Travis on top because he's a whole 10 pounds lighter than Jaron.

The band of boys with their manly guns. Jaron's manliness is only borrowed right now, until he gets his own 'manliness' which should be on Friday.

The 900 Crew, we're hard core, haha!

Ward Halloween Party

Jaron and I were having a hard time deciding what to be for our Halloween party last Friday, the 24th. We were thinking Sonny and Cher, Jaron would be Cher, but we couldn' t find time to go to DI together and I didn't trust him to pick out a good costume by himself.

We regrouped and decided on McCain and Palin. I ratted my hair SO high and we spray painted his white. Jaron was kind enough to take the lenses out of his glasses so I could wear them AND still see. But I went a little overboard at DI though and I got 3 suits and a cute coat for $40, can you say BARGAIN? I can!

We looked SO good! We even won "Most Original Costumes", we rocked the party!

Here is Jaron with his 900 Court best buds (left to right) Travis Swift (Popeye), Peter Huntsman (Danny Zuko), Jaron (McCain) and Corey Seiuli (Pirate). They like to go play guns together, BOYS!

Here I am with my girls: Meghan Huntsman (Sandy), Kristen Seiuli (Pirate), Me (Palin), Jen Hardcastle (Prego) and Teresa Swift (Olive Oil).

Bishop Mangum some how was in a good enough mood to pose for me, even after his wife tricked him into wearing this costume.

Bishop and Stevie posed with their FAVORITE Republicans, Palin and McCain. By the way, Bishop is a Demo, but we still love him.
