EATIN' OUT OF THE RAINGUTTER!

It's a FAMILY TRADITION to eat out of the RAINGUTTER to celebrate some kind of accomplishment. We eat BANANA SPLITS usually with lots of nummy toppings like CARAMEL, HOT FUDGE, MARSHMALLOW, AND WHIPPED CREAM! We used to do this all the time when my kids were in Jr High and High School. It has been a long time since we did it. So here is the long list of things we celebrated:
Zach serving a mission
Lytton serving a mission
Ashley graduating from High School
Zach and Kell getting married
Boston being born
Zach and Kell moving home from Vegas
Ashley and Lytton's engagement
Anna getting a 4.0 in college!
We are going to keep up on this and not wait so long to CELEBRATE GOOD THINGS!

 It's difficult getting a family pic at my house without someone pulling a face. Lytt was the culprit this time!

                                              Kell was pulling the face in this one!

                                               Boston wanted in on all the action too!

FIXIN' THE SCOOTER

Ash was so excited that Lytton new how to fix her SCOOTER! It had been getting like 35 mpg instead of like 85 mpg . He got it all up and running great for her. So they SCOOTED around the neighborhood on it. Zach was even more excited than Ashley and has talked Ash into leaving it here for him to putt around on.

WATCHIN' THE DUCKS

Boston loved watching the DUCKS! He thought it was so neat when a duck flew right past us and skidded across the water. He loved the HONKING of the GEESE too. It's so much fun to experience the wonderment of kids stuff all over again.

                                        

                                                 Here is the goose that kept chasing us!

LYTTON HAS SKILLS!

We all learned something new about Lytton this weekend....He has some MAJOR SKILLS when it comes to BASKETBALL. When we went to the park Lytton, Ash, Zach and Kell all played a basketball game called "21". Lytt was ON FIRE! He totally DOMINATED this game!

                                           Nice jumper and off course he made it in!

                                               Lytt makes most of his free throws

                                                      Ashley puts this one in

Kell's a pretty good little player too!

                                                        Zach makes this one too!

MINI GOLF

After our little card party we went to CHERRY HILL so Ashley and Lytton could do the BATTING CAGES and me, Zach, Mikell, Boston and Mikell's brother, Nick and his wife Sam, could MINI GOLF.

Goofin' off on the Golden Gate Bridge

Lytt and Ash got done hittin' balls before us, so here they are behind the fence!

PICNIC IN THE PARK

The weather was so beautiful today that after church we packed up a PICNIC and headed for Barnes Park. I watched Boston while Zach, Mikell, Lytton and Ashley played BASKETBALL. Then we went for a WALK around the PARK and Boston loved the ducks! We even had a GOOSE CHASE US!

The Crew!

                                 Boston loved playing on the grass. He was so good all day!

Wow! This pic turned out weird...oh well Just lovin' me some Bubsy!

PLAYING GARBAGE

After we left Jessica's we came home and put the kitchen table in the living room and played GARBAGE! Our family is known for some friendly name calling when we play CARDS. No offense should be taken! I was so mad when I was close to laying down my cards when SOMEONE went out concealed! My Grandma said that's the first time she has heard me swear! I got over it though and we had a great time!

I can't remember what was so funny but it looks like Zach and Mikell were having a good time!

Mom kept buying and buying more cards and then she went out CONCEALED :(

REECE HAS ARRIVED!

Jessica and Brody's precious BUNDLE OF JOY finally arrived on April 19th. On Saturday me, Mom, Grandma, Ashley and Lytton went to visit them. She is the a beautiful little girl with lots of dark hair! We are so happy to have her join our FAMILY!

                                                            Reece Aurina Robinson

                                                                Great Grandma Shirley

 Lytton's probably thinking...wow! I could have one of these in a few years!

                                                             Great Aunt Suzanne

Great, Great Grandma Hobbs

BLOWIN' BUBBLES

Boston LOVES when Mikell BLOWS BUBBLES. He laughs and thinks they're the neatest thing ever!

 These are awesome bubbles that don't break immediately so they are a lot more fun!

BOXING BROTHERS

Mason wanted Zach to give him a few pointers in BOXING. They messed around in the backyard with the MITTS and the HEAVY BAG. I love that Mason looks up to Zach and hope that Zach will continue to have a positive influence on him.

BOWLING AT BOONDOCKS!

Me,Zach, Mikell, and Mason went to BOONDOCKS for some BOWLING and ARCADES. We had such a fun time! I was the awesome WINNER in Bowling! But then we played the arcades and I stink at them! We played the BASKETBALL HOOPS game over and over and Zach, Mikell and Mason were ON FIRE! They won lots of tickets and our goal was to win 500 points so Mikell could get Boston this super cool soccer ball. Well then she went to play this spin game and we couldn't believe it! She won the MOTHERLODE of TICKETS! She won 1,000 tickets on one spin! It was INSANE! In total we won 1,802 tickets and got BOSTON lots of fun TOYS!
Here are our BOWLING PICS:
