Korv slept forever on the way home, if you ever want to wake him up you just have to say, "look Korv look at that" he sits right up and starts looking around saying what what! So funny


Back home:) it was such a fun little trip with the family and great to see some friends!

New Job

I have loved being able to stay home with Korv and Raquel and have also loved being able to help watch my niece and nephews, but I have been going a little crazy:)
I finally realized that if I want to be a better mom at home I need to be able to get away for a couple hours and do something that is just for me! Something that I can focus my energy on not just changing diapers and cleaning up about 100 messes a day! So A friend told me about the job I have now!

I work for a adoption agency that flies in birth moms the last couple months of their pregnancy and I take them to their doctor appointments, grocery shopping and show them around Utah while they are here! I am with them when they choose an adoptive family and also when they give birth! After the birth of their baby they are able to fly back home!

I have only been doing it for a couple of weeks now, but I love it! The birth mom I have now is such a great person and so much fun to be with! I feel very blessed that I get to be apart of something like this! It has also been the perfect break that I needed! Plus it's fun to be able to help someone else! I am sure each mom will be different but I am excited for each one that comes into my life and I hope that I can leave them better than when they got here with the help of our Heavenly Father! I feel like in some little way this could be my missionary opportunity since I never got to serve a mission when I was younger! I am really excited:)
I have learned so much already and this job has increased the way I look at the blessings I have and has magnified my gratitude! So blessed to be able to do this for my job:)

Thanks Ginger for telling me about this amazing job:)

The 4th, Reunion, Tate's party

July 4th- 12th 2014

Since the Robinson reunion was in Saturday the 5th my uncle and aunt and cousin and her family came and stayed with us over the 4th!

Here is Amberlyn she is a little younger than Raquel and look at all that hair! I hope Raquel's hair grows more!


Every year on the 4th we go with Joseph's family to Seven Peaks and to dinner! Raquel fell asleep on the way there!


Korv all ready to go swimming


Raquel went on the yellow and blue racing slides with us she loved it!


She has so much personality


That night we took Tiffany (my cousin) and Morgan to watch all the cities fire works!


We saw everything


It was the perfect spot, plus no crowds:)


Amberlyn stayed up with us too!


Fun 4th of July nails


On Saturday was the Robinson reunion!


Raquel loved the bubbles


Korv and his second cousin Huston


Sue bought a bunch of fire works so after the reunion we headed over to our house to set them off!


Sparkler time


Raquel's first time with a sparkler!


It was fun to watch Korv!


The group! Our neighbors were out too and one of their fire works tipped over and one shot Kira's husbands pants and burnt a hole and the other shots went towards us and another neighbors house! It was scary! Uncle Allen jumped up with the board to try to protect everyone! It was so funny :)


Raquel had the funniest expression when the fire works went off! She was so fun to watch!


Last Friday I took the kids and a birth mom I have ( new job details in next post) to the Zoo!


Korv and the rhino


There it is:)


Raquel playing the instruments


She loved the maraca


The Tiger! They have changed so much since I have been there!
