Wild Hogs!

Just thought I would share this picture of Robyn wearing her Grandpa's heated motocycle gloves.  Next thing I'll know she'll be old enough to take a ride with Grandpa!

Magnets

Magnets... Robyn LOVES them.  All kinds, all shapes, all colors.  She plays with them all the time at her Grandma's house.  She loves to drags them all the way down the refrigerator and throw them on the floor.  So Christmas came around and Grandma kindly bought Robyn some of her own magnets and  a leap frog animal sing a long that uses magnets.  I was so happy, thinking she would have so much fun with them!  Well, she did!  All over our kitchen floor and under the refrigerator and under the stove.  She's only had them for two weeks and pieces are missing already and some are broken, due to mommy and daddy stepping on them.  All I have to say is Ikea saved the magnets from the black hole of a trash can.  They have magnet boards!!!!!!  We bought one and put it up in Robyn's room, so now she can play and drag to her hearts content and we can walk around our kitchen without stepping and slipping on magnets. :)

Around and around we go!

Here are some pictures of Robyn's very first merry-go-round ride.  Luckily for us it's small enough that we didn't have to ride with her.  We'd both be puking our guts out!  Hopefully it takes her a while to realize the larger one on the other side of the mall.  I promise she was smiling all the way around, just never when I took a picture!

New Year

                                                            Before

Sorry about the before picture, had to dig into Robyn's baby book and then scan it.  I couldn't figure out how to rotate the picture!

After

So far this year, no job, trying to do yoga everyday, some very early spring cleaning and trying to find places for Robyn's new toys from Santa.  I decided to rearrange Robyn's bedroom to add a new corner cabinet.  It took me a couple of hours and I think it looks great.  Tons of storage now.........Thanks boss!

Jumping Fool

Anyone who knows Robyn, know that she LOVES to jump. She jumps sitting, standing, laying down..... jumps in the tub of water, jumps on the bed, in your lap....I even swear she jumps in her sleep.  She grew out of her Johnny jump up a while ago and now we have to hold her hands to help her jump.  I remembered that Tammy and Scott use to have a kids trampoline and asked if they still had it. Lucky for us they did! Now it's at our house. Check out my sweet girl jumping like a fool.

*******Santa******

The day I've dreaded the most has finally arrived.  Valley's Christmas party....which means Robyn sitting on Santa's lap!  The party was great, don't get me wrong, great food, great people, great bouncy houses for the kids....great that Robyn ran into the glass wall and screamed forever about it, it was a great night.  Robyn really did LOVE the bouncy house.  As everyone knows, she's a great bouncer.  Thanks Johnny-jump up!!  At the end of the night Santa comes for a visit with a present for each kid.  Robyn received a little people Elmo and The Count.  Robyn is really into Elmo right now.  It's Elmo this and Elmo that, I was hoping Elmo would help with the fear of Santa.  Not even close.  Here is the evidence of the night
I personally love the picture of Robyn sliding off Santa's lap....Merry freaking Christmas!

Who can't wait for Christmas?!?

ROBYN!

Although I would have to say me too.  The past couple of days I've been decorating our home for Christmas.  The village took me a day and now that Robyn can walk around, I have to put the houses in different areas this year.  Daris and I put the house lights up yesterday.  Took us forever to replace some of the bulbs that were dead.  We didn't add new lights this year....going for a fake Christmas tree!!  It's sad to see my neighbor's yard.  No lights up and it's so dark over there, I always looked forward to her lights.  It will be interesting to see what happens when Robyn goes to visit Santa this year.  I think there is going to be some major tears shedding......even walking around the mall and seeing Santa there gives her a scare.  It just must be built into kids to cry when they see him.  I have to say, I was one of those kids....must have passed it on.
