Meet The Robison's

Is it really May already? I can't believe how fast things are moving and how much these two little boys are growing every time I turn around.

Easter was a hit. It was just simple and fun. We enjoyed our traditional Easter egg hunt at Papa Val's house after church. Derek thought it was pretty amazing. It was so fun this year to see him actually get excited over looking for eggs, where as last year he was more interested in finding a couple and then sitting and feasting on chocolate candies.

Work is going great, and keeping us on our toes. We are always busy with something, and that's the way we like it. We spend a majority of our weeknights at the gym together. The boys love the daycare center and it gives Bryson and I our time to get our stress from the busy day out and just enjoy any time where it's adults and not runny noses and potty breaks.

We have so many things to look forward to, be terrified for, have anxiety for, you name it.... we'll be facing it in the next couple weeks. My youngest brother Elder Nathan Reece has his mission farewell May 8, and heads out to Spokane, WA May 11th. For him the next two years will be a whirlwind and I hope he just soaks in every experience and loves all of it. For the Robison family things are about to flip upside down. On May 15th (I think it is) Bryson youngest brother Shea will be deployed to Kazakistan for two weeks, and then on to the Afghan-Pakistan border. It will be several months before he's done with this particular mission. So as you can imagine, it's going to be many sleepless nights and lots of prayers to keep us grounded and show the support to Shea that we each know he deserves.

Looking at weeks in advance and seeing how much we have to get done, and get organized before summer starts and my job goes on pause for the summer months, makes me want to cringe. You ask yourself, well why does the summer mean it stops? A majority of the kids at the preschool are school teacher kids which comes down to loosing kids for a little while = no $. Yes the summer time in Arizona means WAY higher bills, but $500 for power is sadly the normal bill for each month when you live here. So we've got to get our game faces on and bight the gigantic bullet.

Can you tell I hold all of my thoughts in and then I am given a blank screen to type out all that is going through my mind. Yes it's all over the place, and yes there is so much more I can say, but I don't want to scare any of you off. :) So as you come across the stress you have in your day to day moments just take a deep breath and count to 5, I promise it helps and if it doesn't then reach for and ice cold DIET COKE it has become the greatest release for me, well.... along with the treadmill.

Any ways, enjoy the pictures below as a quick rewind to catch you up to where we are now. Have a wonderful week!
