Life is good!

I have been so blessed to be where I am today. So much has happened in the last year that I can't help but be grateful and know that Heavenly Father is in my life. In December we were able to move back to Arizona and stay with my mom and dad for awhile. Jared is starting Law School in August and we are excited for this new adventure. I had the opportunity to complete my student teaching at Pinnacle high school. I got to work with a fun, hardworking teacher who taught me lots and got me excited to be a teacher. I finally graduated with a BS degree in Physical Education Teacher Education. This has been a long time coming. Within the same month I had our little boy Ryder Slade. He was born on April 28th and is growing so fast. My little family complete. I have completely fallen in love with the boys in my life and they have stolen my heart. Here are a few pictures to show you how handsome all three are.

Ryder Slade Robinson

I can't believe I am a mom of two little sweet boys. Ryder arrived on April 28th at 1:32 pm. He weighed 6lbs 14oz and was 19in long. He is the sweetest little thing ever. Nash is the best big brother and he loves Ryder so much. He wants to sing to him to help him stop crying and always wants to kiss him. I just love watching Nash with him and I am so blessed to be these two boys' mom. I could have not asked for a better job. Jared and I want to thank everyone for their love and support. We have been blessed with wonderful people in our lives who have helped us so much. I will try to post more pictures later. I am still trying to adjust to having two little ones.

Things are falling in to place

We have been so blessed this last year and know Heavenly Father is watching out for us. This past year Jared graduated from BYU and found a good job to support our family so that I could go back and finish my degree. We are moving in 19 days to Phoenix where I will be able to do my student teaching and where Jared will be attending Law School. This past weekend we received news that Jared was accepted to Phoenix School of Law and received a half Scholarship. I am so very proud of all his accomplishments and know that our Heavenly Father is constantly blessing us to make this happen. We also found out that we are expecting another little boy in May. We couldn't be happier. I am very excited to finally be moving back closer to family. I have missed my family so much and can not wait to be near all of them.

I am so proud

My life and Jared's life has always been revolved around sports of some kind. Jared and I have always wanted to share our love for sports with our children. Nash has been that special boy who since birth has loved being outside and loves all sports!!!! He is a natural. I know I am his mother so I have to say that, but I am not the only one who thinks so. I love the fact that he loves sports so much without Jared or I pushing the love on him. Yesterday I saw a t-ball set that I just had to get him. When he saw me put it in my cart his eyes lit up and said, "Yeah Baseball" He has not stopped playing with it since we got it. I video him yesterday hitting the ball. I love this little guy so much!!!!! I can not wait until he can actually play in T-ball.

Lagoon with the Inmans

Last week the Inmans came into town for one of their nephews baptism. Kelly and Darin invited us to go to Lagoon for Rylee's birthday and we we were so excited to see them and it worked out that Jared had off the day we were going. We had so much fun with them and with Cammie riding the fun and scary rides. Nash loved it and wanted to ride all of the rides. I took him on a dragon ride and he loved it at first cause it was really slow but then the ride sped up and Nash got really quite and his eyes were really big. The ride came to a stop and then started going backwards. Nash was not impressed and turned to me and said, "um I am all done". He was really cute and loved hanging out with Gunner. He loves his cousin Gunner and wants to play with him all the time. Here are a couple of pictures of them both riding an airplane ride together.

Hawaii....Finally posting.

Ok so in May I had the opportunity to go on a wonderful vacation. I loved the beautiful island Kauai but I will admit I missed Nash so much that I called the airline to see if we could catch a flight a day earlier to come home. Well we didn't end up doing that and I am glad I got to enjoy one more day with my husband on this beautiful island. I loved wearing my different bathing suits and loved seeing the beautiful sights and eating the fun food. We did several different activities, which included floating down the sugar plantation ditches, going to a Laua and zip lining, which by far was my favorite. I was really nervous to zip line but I had no idea how fun it was. I also enjoyed the Laua and the wonderful food. Overall this trip was amazing and I can not wait to be able to take our kids to Hawaii one day. Here are some pictures of us in Hawaii. I hope you enjoy them.

I have thousands of pictures but honestly I do not have the time to post all of them. I love this state and can not wait to go back again....to paradise.

Graduation

This weekend Jared graduated from BYU. Although he has been done with school since December he walked for graduation on Friday. His graduation was in the Joseph Smith Building and it was awesome to see him walk and receive his diploma. Linda and Jesse came into town to celebrate this great occasion with us. They came in on Thursday and we celebrated by going to Jared's favorite place Carrabba's and had a wonderful dinner. When we arrived there Richard G. Scott was there as well. It was really neat to see an Apostle face to face. You could really feel the spirit when you were around him. I really wanted to take Nash up to meet him but he had so many people around him and I didn't want to bug him. Early Friday morning we woke up and got ready for Jared's graduation. After the graduation we went out to breakfast as a family. The rest of the weekend was filled with fun filled shopping and going to the Park yesterday for a BBQ. After tons of activities the Robinson's left today and Jared and I went to church. I really enjoyed having family and can't wait to be around them more often.

I am so proud of Jared and all that he has accomplished and all that he will accomplish. He has great dreams and really wants to make a difference in the world. I am greatful for a husband who wants whats best for his family but also wants to do something greater for his country. I feel very blessed and gratefull to be apart of his life. Here are some pictures of this weekend.


Nash wanted to wear his Dad's hat

Whoa & Wow!

I just looked at my blog and saw how long it was since I last updated this thing. So there has been a lot of things that have happened since I was last on here. We went to Arizona for Christmas for a week an half and had a wonderful time with family and friends. I had my last day of work on January 5th. It was a glorious day. I started school full time on January 6th. Not so much glorious more like overwhelming. Now school is more fun. I graduate April of 2011 with a Bachelors in Physical Education, Teacher Education. I am very excited. Jared graduated with a 3.53 GPA. I am very proud of him!!! Now he is studying for the LSAT and will apply and start Law School in August of 2011. We are applying for many different schools but of course our goal is ASU. If we dont get it its ok we will go where Heavenly Father sends us. I am so thankful for where we are at at this time. We have accomplished many goals since we have been married and continue to accomplish many more. Nash is going to a pre-school while I am attending school. He loves it and loves to learn. He loves sports. All sports. He is actually very good at them. I am not just saying that because I am his mom but because he is actually very talented and a born athlete. I will post pictures soon. I would do it now but my son thinks I want to fight and so he keeps punching me and running and tackling me while I am sitting on the floor trying to write. So I will be going now to defend myself against this almost TWO year old. Oh how I love my life.

To be Thankful!

This time of the year always finds me reflecting and realizing that I have so many things to be thankful for. It is probably because of the Holidays and remembering our Savior. Whatever the reason may be I am grateful that this time of year helps me remember these blessings. Jared has only one week of school left, then finals. He has worked so hard these last two semesters and now it is my turn. I am very excited to go back to school in January. I am more happy that I get to be with Nash more. It breaks my heart to go to work and leave him behind. I know I know it makes him stronger. But while he supposedly is getting stronger I have felt myself getting weaker and feeling very inadequate these past few months. Feeling that my son needs me and I am not there for him. Today I am just thankful for a husband who supports me and reminds me daily that our child loves me more than anyone. Although I do not believe him sometimes I am still thankful that he gives me that support everyday. I am so excited to for Christmas this year because I will have two weeks where I can be with Jared and Nash and not feel as though I am abandoning them. I know I am just babbling and not really making sense but this past week I have decided just To Be THANKFUL!!! So as this year comes to an end I can say I have tried to care for my family and provide for them but now when the new year starts it is my turn to be with my baby and enjoy him all day. Thank you Jared for making that possible. I absolutely love my family and my life!

Halloween 2009!

We had a fun filled weekend with some very wonderful memories that we would like to share with everyone. This weekend we had Grandma Robinson come into town and we had a lot of fun. On Friday we went to my volleyball games and Nash wanted to play with me on the court. He is so cute and loves any sport there is. He was born to play sports. On Saturday we started our day with breakfast then Jared and Nash got their hair cut. We then went to the park and enjoyed playing disc golf and playing on the swing set. After that we got ready to go to the mall for Trick - Treating. This year Nash was a Dalmatian puppy and loved wearing his costume. He would go up to the people who were passing out candy, "trick er treat, woof woof" He was so cute and had so much fun!!!!! Here are some pictures of our fun filled weekend.
