Happy Merry Easter!

At the Robbins house hold we are getting REALLY excited for this weekend. Peter's family holds an annual Easter Egg Hunt at their Cabin up Hobble Creek. It is all of Peter's Aunts and Uncles and cousins and those Robbins' sure know how to party!! It's always a blast. I am not only excited to hang out with everyone but to start traditions with our little family that will bring wide eyes with excitement every year. Although Bailey will be crawling for eggs this year it is a start of something so fun for me. I have been spending this week shopping for fun Easter Basket things for Bailey and Peter and I am really excited to give Peter his little gifts and to see Bailey play with her new toys from the Easter Bunny. Then Easter day we will be with the good ole' Bateman clan eating an Easter feast and playing games of some sort!

But I am also grateful for the opportunity to celebrate the real meaning of Easter and truly thank the Lord for his sacrifice and for all that the Atonement means. Getting married and starting a family has really made me realize my testimony of the Atonement and not only for Christ's sacrifice on the cross but for the gift of his life. There is no better an example and no greater a teacher than He. This time of year I catch my self playing this song over and over again and remember listening to it when I was really young and looking back knowing that that moment was where my testimony of the Atonement started. I just wanted to post the words so you can read them.

His Hands

his hands tools of creation
stronger than nations power without end and yet through them we find our truest friend
his hands sermons of kindness healing men's blindness halting years of pain children waiting to be held again

his hands would serve his whole life though showing man what hands might do giving, ever giving, endlessly each day was filled with selflessness and i'll not rest until i make up my hands what they could be 'til these hands become like those from galilee

his hands lifting a leper warming a beggar calling back the dead breaking bread, five thousand fed his hands hushing contention pointing to heaven ever free of sin then bidding man to follow him

his hands would serve his whole life though showing man what hands might do giving, ever giving, endlessly each day was filled with selflessness and i'll not rest until i make up my hands what they could be 'til these hands become like those from galilee

his hands clasped in agony as he he lay pleading, bleeding in the garden while just moments away other hands betray him out of greed, shameful greed and then his hands are trembling straining to carry the beam that they've been nailed to as he stumbles through the streets heading towards the hill on which he died he would die they take his hands, his mighty hands, those gentle hands and then they pierce them, they pierce them he lets them, because of love from birth to death was selflessness and clearly now i see him with his hands calling to me and though i'm not yet as i would be he has shown me how i could be i will make my hands like those from galilee


Gets me every time. Happy Easter everybody!! I am blessed to have each of you in my life and am definitely a better person for knowing you. May the Lord bless each of you and your families.

Much Love!

The Robbins

Bailey,...........Priceless

So Peter's sister is AMAZING!! Shout out to you Rach!! But she lovingly takes freaky awesome pictures of Bailey when I ask, and she is just amazing! Anyway,.. here are some cute ones of her that I thought I would share.

Little Fairy Princess

Not happy, but poppin her collar cus she's hot!


She did okay inside, but when wen went out side, she was NOT havin it!! Little stinker. That's okay, we will try again when it is really Easter.




Oh what the heck, here are a few other shots that I got of her recently. Sorry about the overload of pictures I just can't resist!!



So I babysit this stinking cute baby sometimes and Bailey is just facinated by her every move. Too bad I have to confine her or else Alina will be eatin!!



She couldn't find her hands under all that pink marshmellow-ie cuteness,.. but once we got goin she was HAPPY!!

Bailey has been getting her one top TOOTH (yes, I am looking forward to the snaggle, we will name it!) Anyway, the tylenol set in and she didn't evem make a peep, just layed her head down, and then I heard her snoring! Poor thing!

We went to visit Bailey's cousin Eve and my sister-in-law and I wanted to talk so Emily came up with this AMAZING idea to pull out the bean bag and turn on Barney. Totally new to Bailey, but as you can tell,..she LOVED it!! Ahhh.. priceless!!
