Pictures

I got my kiddos pictures taken by the ever AMAZING Tiffany.  I will just say this,.. when I first laid eyes on these pictures,.. I burst into tears right in the middle of the Denver International Airport. :D  Tiffany has mad skills,.. but she also had amazing props to work with.  It's official,.. my kids are EXQUISITE!

I'm obsessed with them.

Like I should go to Rehab over the obsession.  

Highway to Heaven

Hi everyone! This is Pete. I know you usually tune in to read Amanda's posts, and I know she blogs like 100 times better than I do, but I saw somthing yesterday that I just had to share with you all.

Yesterday we went to a family reunion up at Kelly's Grove in Springville. On our way back to Pleasant Grove on the freeway, we were just talking and enjoying the fact that we didn't have to be anywhere (except home for naps) for the rest of the day. As we neared Provo, I looked over and saw the following picture. At first, nothing sparked my interest, but about 5 seconds later, I looked back and realized what it was a picture of...

That's right people. That is a picture of exactly what you think it is; a motorcycle hearse (or at least an ad for one - I imagine that the hearse trailer thingy is inside there.) So yes, in case you were wondering if you had options when you die as to how you will be transported from viewing to grave, you do! I personally have decided that this is the way to go for sure. If you really like motorcycles (and hopefully, a motorcycle wasn't the cause of you becoming a customer) this is the way to go.

As we pulled up alongside the trailer I realized there was another picture on the side that I also couldn't pass up...

We also took a look at their website http://www.lastryde.com/ ...

Amanda says I'm not allowed to use them for myself, but the way I figure it, she always says she has to be the one to die first, so not only will I use it for me, but I will also use it for her. We could totally make it classy and in good taste.

Who wouldn't want one last ride?

Miss Piss(ed)

I know you have all been just DYING,... waiting to hear this story!

It's pretty good.

So this is from a few weeks ago, on my way to Florida.  I had a layover in Phoenix, and then went from Phoenix to Orlando.  Chloe was an ANGEL!!!!!!!!  I'm serious.  She is just the best baby on the planet, fo real! 

Chloe will stare at you, until you acknowledge her, and when you do, you may get one of a few things,.. she may shy away and snuggle me(my favorite,.. for me),.. you might get a wave and "hiiiiiiiiii" from her,.. you may get the squishy face, in which she squishes her nose and bares her cute little(giant) teeth.  {Yumm I love her}

{How can you not GUSH over this!?}

So we run from one plane to connect on the next one, and hop right on.  I waited to be last, on purpose because I like to be the last one on the plane,.. I also wanted to move seats so that there would be an empty seat for Chloe.. so it all worked out.. and I was stoked to have an empty seat for Chloe to sit and play with her toys and lay down when she wanted to sleep.  So I get to my seat and someone helped me get my bag in the over head.. I look down and the isle seat has a lady sitting in it.  So I say "excuse me.. those are our seats, could we get in" {I was super nice BTW}  and she IMMEDIATELY gets all huffy and moves, but wasn't happy about it.  Did she think that she had chartered a private jet and all these people were a surprise or something?,.. like did you really sit in the isle seat thinking that no one was going to sit in the other two seats?  For real!?  Anyway,.. we sit down and get all situated... Chloe was sitting in the middle seat, and me by the window.  Chloe was just as happy as a can be, playing.  We start to take off, and I notice her bag wiggling,.. no worries,.... she totally had her dog with her.  I am no lover of dogs,.. I don't hate them,.. I just don't really like them,.. and I have a slight allergy to them{awesome}.  So we get in the air and she turns to me, and in a SUPER rude voice, says,.. "Did you buy this seat in the middle?"  And I said,.. no,.. I asked the Flight Attendant if we could be seated somewhere where my daughter could have a seat.  She rolled her eyes and looked away. 

-whatever-

So then she pulls out all these papers, and I conclude that she is an English teacher at some level,.. whether it's high school, or college, I don't know,.. but she gets ALL sorts of ticked off that she can't find her pen,.. and then when she finally did find it,.. it didn't work. which made her more angry at the world.

Well,.. she gets up to go to the bathroom or something,.. and so I figured while she was up,.. I would get up and change Chloe, and get her a bottle, and all ready to take a nap.  So I come back and this lady had taken her dog out,.. and sat it on Chloe's seat,.. and her computer and papers were on my seat, and when I tapped her shoulder to ask to let us back in,.. she looked up at me and paused,,.... and then rolled her eyes,.. and started moving her stuff,.. but what the heck was she thinking?  We walked off the plane to take a pee?!?  Like we weren't coming back to our stuff or anything?!?  dummy. 

I just kept thinking,.. "Man,.. who peed in your soggy cheerios this morning!?"

I sat Chloe back down and she was just happy playing with her rings, and patting her legs with them,.. Well that got boring,..so then she started hitting the arm rest with them.  {tee hee}  and OH MY WORD,.. I thought this lady was going to DIE,.. I'm not kidding,.. she started pulling on her hair, and kept gasping and saying the lords name in vain,.. it was like it was the worst thing that could ever happen, in the history of the world, times 10.  At this point I was getting a good laugh out of it all,.. she was totally obnoxious.  Well,..I looked over just in time to see Chloe grab her arm.

END OF THE UNIVERSE,........

She literally JUMPED out of her seat as if Chloe had some infectious disease{she does,.. it's called happiness} and she scowled at me and said "Please!!! Don't,.. just DON"T touch me!!!" 

YIKES.

So she puts her ear buds in and turned her music all the way up and started jammin out!  And by that I mean,.. full on singing,.. I believe the line was something like "tears of change" somepin, somepin.  I'm not kidding when I tell you that Chloe can sing better than her.  It was AWFUL!

So Chloe was getting tired, and cranky, and so I was snuggling her.  She wanted her crib, and some alone, quiet time,.. and so she cried.  She cried for probably 10 minutes.  And then ZONKED.  All the while, Miss Piss, was FREAKING out,.. including, literally pulling her hair, and throwing her hands in the air,.. and yelling things that were just obnoxious,...... but hilarious to me.  I really started laughing her her poor sap of a shell of an actual human. 

So Chloe and I drift off into DisneyWorld dream land and I woke up and looked over at Miss Piss, and she has got her whole hand,.. FULL ON,.. down her pants,... and when I say full on,.. I mean Forearm and down,.. completely down her pants,.. scratchin like there was no tomorrow.  SICK!!!!!!!!!!  BARF!!!!!!!!  GROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!  VOMIT ALL OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There was one person who was nice on the plane,.. she was playing peek-a-boo with Chloe. {thank you nice lady}

So,.. when the pilot came on and said that we would be landing soon, Miss Piss, was thanking the Lord,.. I don't know why,.. I'm pretty sure that it was the pilot we should be thanking,.. but I chimed right in and said "I know,.. this flight has been awful,....... but only because you were on it,.. you were SO rude."  Teee hee!!  She got all huffy and was petting her dog.  I SO wanted to say,.. at least you found someone to love you,.. too bad it has 4 legs and can't speak,..licks it's butt, and THEN kisses you. 

Did I mention that I had a wonderfully working pen this whole time!? 

Muwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! 
{Im pretty sure Miss Piss is one of Ugly Lady from Macey's daughter!}

Princess Dinner

While we were at DisneyWorld, I decided we had traveled all that way, and didn't have super long time there and so the last thing I wanted to do was wait in 20 lines for hours on end, just to get a picture with Bailey's beloved princesses. So I forked over my spare body parts to pay for a dinner with all the Disney Princesses. It was SOOOOO fun,.. and worth the kidney and part of my liver. ;)

When Cinderella{Bailey} and I got there, there were lots of other little princesses roaming around waiting to be seated also. So Bailey magically turned into little miss social butterfly and was talking to all the other little princesses. It was really cute. She kept asking them if they were there to eat dinner with the "pincesses" too,.. and when they said yes, she invited them to eat dinner with us. Then would turn around and ask me if she could give her new friends "pincess kisses" {Which are our kisses when we are playing princesses} I told her that probably wasn't a good idea.

They called us to be seated and when we walked in Bell was there to greet us. Bailey was SOOOO excited. She was totally star stuck and couldn't talk, until it was time to say good-bye.

We went to our seats, and soon enough, the rest of the princesses started to come our way, one by one. They would come to our table and talk to us for a few minutes and then pose for pictures. Bailey didn't have a whole lot to say to most of them, but when Ariel came around she was dying to know "Mermaid, where yous fins!?" I got a good laugh.

About half way through the princess parade, we started getting visitors at our table. Bailey's new friends from outside the restaurant decided they really liked her and wanted to come sit with us at our table. One of them even cut her birthday cake at our table. I didn't know what to do,.. I'm sure their parents didn't really like it,.. but I did.

{I didn't know I would be dealing with popularity at such a young age! And I don't want my kids to be popular!}

{On our next edition of The Robbins Family Chronicles,... I'm pretty sure Ugly Lady from Macey's sat next to us on our plane!!! Story coming next!}

DisneyWorld

We had a BLAST on our trip! We loved seeing all the characters, and enjoyed our time together as a family!!! I love our little family,.. we know how to have fun! ;)

What {almost} 3 year old cries at Cinderella's castle!? Crazy kid!

We even got to spend some fun time with Grandma Robbins, and Aunt Mary!

Epcot was,.. well,.. it was what it is.

Oh I love this picture!

Big highlight of our trip was that we got to go see Mo and Christian. We miss them tons,.. really,.. we love them a whole lot!!!!!

Aren't our kids cute! Chloe and Will made a connection, I'm sure of it!

Craptastic

I am pretty sure that my brain and Chloe's placenta were attached and when the placenta came out,.. it took my brain with it.

Monday started out pretty great,.. nothing too exciting.

Bailey didn't pee ALL day, but kept telling me she needed to pee.

Amanda{super awesome sister-in-law} and I planned a way sweet picnic and day at the park,.. well as soon as we get there and start playing,.. Bailey pees her pants. grrrrr. Then on my way home with a naked SCREAMING child in my back seat, I realized,.. Bailey was showing all the classic signs of a UTI,.. something her mamma is far too familiar with. So I call the pediatrician, got the girls home and in bed for naps before the actual appointment.

Amanda called me and offered to come stay with Chloe so I could take Bailey to the doctor. In an effort to save time and be in a hurry to get back so we could all play,.. I hop in the car,.... push the garage door open button,.. put the car in reverse and gun it. {I was in a hurry, remember!?}

Remember how Amanda came to my house?

That usually involves driving a car,..

which usually involves parking said car,..

and usually in a driveway.

I suck.

{bailey did in fact have a UTI, and did in fact had to be catheterized to give a sample,.. which did in fact completely RUIN my day}

So in an effort to feel better,.. Monday we leave for HERE!!!!!

{and don't try and come rob my house, someone is here! punks!}
