The Robisons

Enough said :)

2012-02-07T09:47:00.001-08:00

I think these pictures say it all. Lily is growing up too fast and has mastered walking! When did I get a little girl instead of my little baby!? She is the cutest blue eyed girl I know!

Picture Overload!

2011-10-10T16:59:00.000-07:00

I think the pictures say enough! :) Just a little update on our little Lily girl. Almost 8 months! Time flies when you are so happy!!

Changes!

2011-08-31T07:55:00.000-07:00

Matt and I are MOVING!! We just got the email from Student Housing at the U that there is an apartment available for us on September 27th. We are so excited but it is bitter sweet. We are going to miss living with Brammy and Bapa. They have done so much for us and have been so great having us here with them. We love you and appreciate you having here for the time you did.

I had to add a few pictures of Lily who has also changed soo much already! These are some 4-5 month pictures and I have more I am uploading on the computer so they will be on soon!

I JUST LOVE HER!!!!!!!

July 24th at the cabin. Lily's first night away from home!

Overdue!

2011-07-11T18:26:00.000-07:00

Today Lily is 4 months old.. I cant believe it. You are amazing, growing SOO fast!! I wish I could stop time just for a moment and cherish every stage you are in but time goes by and I am barely able to soak it in until you are on to the next amazing thing you are able to do. You are the happiest baby I have met, you smile at me like I am the most important person in your life and I feel like the luckiest mom in the world. I cant believe how much your dad loves you, every day his love for you grows more and more and I know you can feel it. You are already our little fisher girl, you didnt enjoy the second go until I took you out and let you watch the small waves coming onto the shore we were at. Swimming with you was soo much fun... Until we got you out of the pool and you screamed bloody murder for about 20 minutes before passing out in my arms and sleeping for a solid 3 hours. I cant complain about that! Made you in the perfect mood for the next adventure that night, a wedding reception where the photographer couldnt resist taking pictures of you and sending them my way. You turn heads, you are a heartbreaker and you smile sooo big at everyone you see. I love your heart, I love your spirit and I love how important you make me feel. You are the most important thing in my life and I have never loved anything more than I love you. My Lily Ann Robison, you are nothing less than a true blessing that I will never take for granted.

Just a few stats for your big 4 months!

WT: 13.1 (45%)

HT: 24.5 (55%)

OFC: 42.5 (85%)

You are beautiful and incredible in every way. I am wishing now that I had taken pictures of you every month but I was not on top of that.. But I think I have enough pictures of you to make up for that. I love you sweet girl!

HAPPY 3 MONTHS!!

2011-06-14T11:41:00.000-07:00

We love you Lily Ann! We couldnt be happier that you are in our lives!!

Your smiles make us melt, and even when you cry we love you more and more!!

Lily and the Zoo!

2011-05-10T12:20:00.000-07:00

We took little Lily to the zoo last weekend and she had soo much fun as you can see... okay maybe she had no idea what was going on but we had SOO much fun having her there with us!!

SMILE!!!

2011-04-26T14:45:00.000-07:00

Not the best picture quality but we will take what we can get!! And she still looks adorable either way!!! SMILE!!!!!

.......

First Easter...

2011-04-25T08:05:00.001-07:00

So Lily has decided that the best time to have her HUGE pooopy blow outs is right during sacrament!! We had her all dolled up and beautiful and low and behold she decided to empty herself out. Needless to say, the Sunday I finally made it to church, I promptly had to leave to take care of my stinky little angel!

We had her dressed and ready for pictures but we were late getting ready so we were going to do pictures after church... That did not happen so we dont have an official Easter picture of her on her first one.. :( So sad!! But at least she is feeling better now that she is not backed up anymore!!!

Love you all and Happy Easter 2011!!!!! We love our little Lily more than words can say, I think it is safe to say that she is Matt and I's world!

More Pictures!

2011-04-12T19:36:00.000-07:00

Now this may be picture overload but I couldnt resist. I couldnt choose my favorites because they are all so incredible and I wanted to share them all!

We are so in love with this little girl, she is such an amazing piece of heaven that we do not know why we deserve but are so grateful she is with us! She is already 1 MONTH OLD yesterday and she is getting more alert and aware Watching her experience everything for the first time is so exciting! We are just waiting for that first smile, and that first laugh...

I think we are the luckiest parents in the world and as much as I am frustrated with how I look right now, all I have to do is see her little face and watch her stick her tongue out at me, make eye contact, or make her cute little baby noises and I simply dont care anymore!

(Although next Monday it begins, P90X here I come!!!! And eating much better!!!! On my way back to my body before baby!!! Wish me luck!!!)

Lily Ann

2011-03-21T20:33:00.001-07:00

Friday, March 11th our little angel was born and every day since has been the most wonderful days. We have never been so happy and have never felt so much love for anything like we do for this little girl. She is the biggest blessing we have ever had.

She was 7 lbs 3 oz and 20.5 inches. She is still so tiny and I want her to stay that way, I dont want her to grow up too fast! I wish I could make time slow down, just for a little while.

Here are a few pictures and another post this week and more pictures!! For now enjoy these!

10 Days and Counting...

2011-03-09T07:15:00.001-08:00

I still can't believe it, as ready as I am, that we only have 10 days until our due date! Other than the last couple of weeks time has FLOWN by!! And all I can think about is meeting this little girl! She is sooo active, and so strong and I can't wait to be holding her and getting to know her!

Most of all, I really can't wait for Matt to be able to hold her and feel her all the time. Lately I have felt a bit guilty for not enjoying every moment of this pregnancy more because Matt wants so badly to know how it feels, to spend every moment with is little girl and I think I have taken it for granted.
I got some pictures for the past few months! Here they are!

I am soo lucky to have 2 cousins that are pregnant at the same time as me! We are all due between March and May!!

These two girls made up the cutest dance at our family SuperBowl party. It was a preggo dance and it was sooooo funny, I loved it!!! My little girl has the most amazing cousins to look up to and watch over her! Lily, you are a lucky girl, you will learn that very soon!!
Once I get my hands on the video of their dance I will upload it for sure!

First Santa picture!!!! (With Lily, at least she can't be scared yet :) )

I had to get Lily in the picture with the girl cousins! I wish I were still that small.. Oh the comfort of the second trimester!

Still waiting....

2011-01-07T08:57:00.000-08:00

Our computer is still broken and being fixed by our friends.. I miss our computer!! I want to blog pictures, be able to look things up on the internet at home, and just be able to play games in general! Guess patience is something I will be learning for a little while longer.

I will get pictures up as soon as I can! Baby girl is growing like crazy and I officially look very pregnant... Happy about that? Yes and no haha

Blog? What blog?

2010-12-13T15:41:00.000-08:00

So as you can see I am not very good at blogging but I intend to be A LOT better from now on! We have been up to so much and we are so busy, our computer is broken right now and all our pictures are on there... I still found a few to update the blog a little bit from the last time I posted!

Well I think the biggest news that I haven't posted about is that Matt and I are expecting our first little one!! I want to post about the the pregnancy so far with pictures so I am going to leave it at that for now.. Except I have to say it is a BABY GIRL!! She will be here March 19th!!

Our Christmas season has been good so far, with a move, parties, and more parties! I love the holiday season but I am pretty wasted every day! Matt and I both got new jobs this winter. He works for Carhartt, the new industrial clothing store that opened up in Murray and he LOVES it. I work for inContact as a data entry clerk and hoping it becomes permanent when baby girl gets here and I can work from home! So keep your fingers crossed for me!

And yes I am 6 months pregnant in the gingerbread house picture, I know you cant tell but I do have a baby bump somewhere! Pictures to come soon!!!

1 Year!

2010-05-02T15:10:00.000-07:00

A year ago we were here...

And now we are here, still as happy and more in love. We had a perfect weekend!

Time on my hands.

2010-02-01T10:56:00.001-08:00

So I just uploaded a ton of pictures, from pretty much everything! Matt and I have been married 9 months now and I cant believe how time flies!! Married life is amazing, and the best decision Matt and I have ever made. These pictures are from our honeymoon and camping trips and hiking!! ENJOY!!

I just had to add the picture of Matt and I with all our nieces and nephews!! What an amazing day that was.

Been Too Long

2010-01-13T12:17:00.000-08:00

I know it has been far too long since my last post and I am sorry! We have had a lot going on, but it is finally slowing down. And it takes way too long to upload pictures on here!! But I promise updates will be coming soon!!

Jealousy...

2009-10-08T18:37:00.001-07:00

So while you all go home and get cozy on your beds, get a nice dinner ready for your family and cuddling on the couch, just picture for a moment instead... Sitting at your cubicle since 8 am awaiting the mediator to come back with the next batch of changes to the settlement agreement of two parties in a sueing battle... Oh yes they cannot agree, oh yes this is the 5th round of changes in the last 5 hours... And oh yes, I get to wait another hour or 2 for the next round... How long will it go on? No one knows.. Maybe into tomorrow...

Admit it, you are feeling jealous.. I knew it.

Wedding Book!

2009-09-25T08:31:00.000-07:00

Here are most of the pages of the wedding book Michelle, our photographer, put together! We are going to get the actual book in no time and I cant wait! I wanted to share how amazing Michelle is by posting the pictures she sent me!!

5 months down and we are so happy it's amazing!

(Side note: This is not the actual order of the book, this is just the slides I copied from Michelle's email)

LoToJa 2009

2009-09-22T07:33:00.000-07:00

Matt and I had the amazing opportunity to go with Colter and Abi to the Logan to Jackson race (206 miles aka LotoJa) We got to watch over the cute little baby Gray while Abi (and Matt sometimes) focused on getting food to Colter during the race! It was so fun to have a baby, even just for a day! I stole these pictures from Abi's blog because I still dont have any other way of getting pictures on here with no internet at my house! So here are a few...

Baby Hungry? ........ Not quite yet but he is going to be an amazing dad thats for sure!

A trip with Linden and Camy is not complete without an Edward picture... We impersonate Edward from the Twilight movie very well....

Here are the two crazy boys that would want to ride 206 miles!

If you look closely at the one of Colter riding he is smiling, this was the hardest climb of the race and he just smiled when we yelled out to him!

The whole clan after the race was over.. It was a great time and Matt and I cant wait to be parents!! (although we can because we are not ready yet! haha)

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

2009-09-18T09:11:00.000-07:00

So my friend Brooke and I have been waiting for this day for a very long time, the day we finally get to go to Hogwarts!!! I know it may sound childish but I really dont care! We are going to Hogwarts next year!!!

Matt and I have already been saving up for Orlando next year to do DisneyWorld and now it is just meant to be! We are going to Florida next fall to do DisneyWorld and The Wizarding World!!!

2 castles in one trip... Doesnt get much better than that!!!

Wizarding World Link, just in case you are interested... http://www.universalorlando.com/harrypotter/index.html?__source=email.hp.consumer.9152009

I love my family!

2009-09-04T09:57:00.000-07:00

I wanted to make sure my family, and my new amazing husband, knows how much I love them!! They always know how to make me feel wonderful and how to make me smile! Thank you!!!!

Life After the Wedding Madness

2009-07-20T08:07:00.000-07:00

It has been a hectic 4 months I must say but Matt and I are enjoying every minute of it. We could not be happier and feel like we are in the right place with each other. There is no denying that. Here is what we have been up to the past 4 months after the wedding...

(I have no pictures mostly because we do not have internet at our house and work is far too busy to try and get pictures uploaded... So one day I will have to find somewhere I can upload pictures because we have a lot of good ones!)

1. Matt has 2 jobs now: one as a runner downtown for a law firm kiddy corner to my law firm on Mon, Wed and Friday and he works for his dad on Tues and Thurs. He is all signed up for school starting next week and couldnt be happier..... Well he will be much happier when it is his major and he will be able to enjoy learning more and more about history!

2. I got a promotion at work and I am always busy now! It is a constant flow of work and some days are MUCH harder than others but I love it and it is so much better than where I was at before.

3. We have been back from our honeymoon for months now but I want to get pictures on here from it, it was so much fun and we LOOOVE Disneyland! Cant wait to go back!!

4. We have started P90X and it is brutal but we love it, its a great workout and we cant wait to see the "after pictures" :)

5. We took a trip to Goblin Valley (pictures to come, I hate not having some way to put pictures on here) and it was a rough trip with it being longer than we thought it was going to be to get there, and a car breakdown in the middle of the canyon coming home... It was still a very fun trip for us!

6. We had a great trip with the Robison fam up in Fish Lake where I learned how to fish and I caught on pretty quick! It was a wonderful and relaxing week and we loved it so much. Again pictures to come... With one of me kissing a fish! (tradition in the Robison family to kiss your first Macinaw!! And yes I did it!)

7. We have had 2 weddings since ours and now they are all done and we are glad it has slowed down a bit but we are sooo happy for the wonderful newlyweds we were able to see get married!!! It is a wonderful thing and it was fun to be a part of it!

Anyways a bit of an update for us and I hope people are still checking this! haha I promise more posts will come more often!!

Wedding Photos are here!

2009-06-08T08:09:00.000-07:00

Here is a link to some of our wedding day pictures!! I cant wait to see the rest!! Thank you Michelle!!!

http://scenesfromthewild.blogspot.com/2009/06/wedding.html

The few above were a few of my favorites, but they are all so great I dont know how to choose a favorite!!

Shout Out

2009-05-20T09:09:00.000-07:00

I wanted to make sure Abi and Colter, my brother and sister in law, know how much I love and appreciate them and what they did on the wedding slideshow! It turned out so so cute, and I wanted to post it on here but we didnt know if it would work. Thank you so much for all the time and energy you put into that for us, it really meant SO much. Abi put together the pictures and music just a couple of weeks before having darling baby Gray, and I couldnt appreciate her more for everything she did. Thank you!

Also, Logan thank you for the super awesome music selections for dancing!! It was so much fun and you did such an awesome job. Thanks for doing that for us!!!

LOVE YOU!!!

Wedding Day!

2009-05-14T13:05:00.001-07:00

I only have a few of our wedding pictures back from Michelle, but I wanted to make sure I posted them! Matt and I are loving married life, we are so lucky and we couldn't be happier that we can spend every minute possible together.

The wedding day went so smooth and we wouldn't have changed a thing! As much as I am so glad it is over and things have slowed down from the wedding plans and having something every night, I am so happy everyone put so much time and effort into it, because it was the perfect day!

I have to give a special thanks to Chelle, my sister, who did all the flowers for the wedding and honestly they turned out BETTER than I could have ever imagined! Thank you so much, for all your time, all your talent and willingness to do everything you did for my big day! You are amazing! I am so glad I had your input and your opinion and ideas to make it come together the way it did

And another thanks to Mary, my sister in law, she was the best hair stylist I could have asked for, and my hair is not easy to keep curls! But she did an amazing job in making it look better than I could have imagined and I hope you know how much it meant to me that you were there for the bridals, bright and early at my parents house before the sealing, there in the bridal room in the temple and every time you had to do touch ups, you are amazing and I am so grateful for you!

Just one more thank you.. To my mom, you did SOOO much from addressing announcments to putting the announcments together, sewing the skirts for the bridesmaids, and so so so much more. Thank you, thank you, thank you. . . It meant so much and I know you are just as glad as I am that the day was here and now is gone! It all turned out perfectly, so thank you!

And to my cute husband, you are seriously so patient and so wonderful! Thank you for being that way through all the planning and stress and times I would break down. I love you!!!

I love this picture, with the girls in the background.. I thought it was so amazing!

I loved the dancing girls and this kissing picture is one of my favorites also, its just perfect!

This one is another of my favorites, captures the moment perfectly!

I will post more, probably more than you want to see but it was the best day of my life!! Especially pictures of families, the crazy picture of Matt and I with our 23 nieces and nephews, and so many others!!

Bridals...

2009-04-23T08:23:00.000-07:00

Okay I am not going to post the bridals on my blog just in case Matt gets on here but Michelle, my photographer, posted my bridals on her blog so if you are interested to see them here is the site!!

1 WEEK FROM TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Codye Hammer Robison .... LOVE IT!

Bored.......

2009-04-21T14:57:00.000-07:00

I dont think I have ever been as bored as I have been the past 2 days at work.... There is nothing more frustrating than sitting at a desk waiting for 5:00 to roll around so you can get the rest of your preparations done for a wedding in 9 days!! So I have done everything I can sitting here, and now I am going to wait patiently for the last hour of work to roll by so I can get the shopping done for the big day and make the rest of the plans come together! We are at the final stretch and Matt and I are both pretty stressed, me with the wedding and making everything perfect, and him with school and finals and getting everything done before the big day.... Who knew planning a wedding could make you so stressed.......

On a lighter note if you have not taken a walk outside you really should, it is gorgeous out there and it finally smells, feels and looks like spring!! Keep it up weather, at least for 9 more days!!
(4 for Jayce and Sarah.. Lucky couple gets married on Saturday! Its the year of weddings I tell you!!!)

Simple Truths

2009-04-07T13:45:00.000-07:00

It is amazing to me that even in the most stressful of times, when you can find every reason in the world to feel stress, to feel anger, to feel insecure or discouraged, that even in these times you can read something like this and you instantly feel peace and gratitude for what is important in this life. If you haven't read anything from this story so far I would encourage you to read it. It is uplifting and makes you truly feel at peace with anything that you are going through and feel you are struggling with. It is a story that makes you believe that anything is possible and you are never alone.

Absolutely Amazing Music

2009-04-03T11:41:00.000-07:00

I just went to an old high school friends blog and her website is up and running! You should check out her music, it is so wonderful! I love listening to it, and I am buying her cd!

On a side note, we heard from our soon to be landlord and the people in our apartment didnt move out until this weekend so we wont be moving in until the 20th. I am really bummed out but at the same time at least we know we have a place and it is perfect for us!!

If you are interested in more..

Ice Fishing..

2009-02-11T10:20:00.000-08:00

This past weekend Matt and I went ice fishing with two of his friends that I just got along with instantly, Thom and Cynthia. And as you can see below Matt found the one thing that would not make me say no to ice fishing! Thom and Cynthia brought their adorable Blue Lacey puppy Alta!! She was so cold and so darn cute! (Matt was right, most of the pictures I took were of cute little Alta, playing and then getting so cold she jumped into her little bed)

I got made fun of by the boys because I gave the blanket Matt brought for me to keep warm to the puppy... As you can see it made her go right to sleep! I was okay with it.. Until I got cold haha

Just a picture of Matty fishing and sitting on his bucket because "that is how REAL fishermen fish" I just love him...

Cynthia trying to take pictures and hold the puppy. It was still sunny at this point! When the sun went away, that is when it was way too cold for the girls!

Getting ready for some fishin!

Thom and Matt getting the first hole dug

Almost 12 inches of ICE!!! GOOD JOB LOVE!!

Oh I love her!!

Yes that is my hair going crazy, WIND SUCKS! Other than that its a pretty cute picture.

He only smiles in pictures when I beg him.. Not so much on the cheese, this one...

Yep I am puppy hungry and I have to control it! I keep telling Matt, at least right now I want a puppy and I am not baby hungry already!!!! It will be a while for that, not ready for little ones, jsut want it to be my hubby and I for a while!

I Believe..

2009-02-09T14:19:00.000-08:00

I Believe...

A Birth Certificate shows that we were born

A Death Certificate shows that we died

Pictures show that we lived!

Have a seat . . . Relax . . . And read this slowly.

I Believe...That no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

I Believe...That it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

I Believe...That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.

I Believe... That you can do something in an instant That will give you heartache for life.

I Believe...That you should always leave loved ones with Loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

I Believe... That you can keep going long after you think you can't.

I Believe...That we are responsible for what We do, no matter how we feel.

I Believe...That either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I Believe...That money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I Believe...That my best friend and I, can do anything, or nothing and have the best time.

I Believe...That sometimes the people you expect to kick you When you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up.

I Believe...That sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, But that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I Believe...That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had And what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

I Believe...That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others. Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I Believe...That no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.

I Believe...That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, But, we are responsible for who we become.

I Believe...That you shouldn't be so eager to find Out a secret. It could change your life Forever.

I Believe...Two people can look at the exact same Thing and see something totally different.

I Believe...That your life can be changed in a matter of Hours by people who don't even know you.

I Believe...That even when you think you have no more to give, when A friend cries out to you - you will find the strength to help.

I Believe...That the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.

I believe...'The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; They just make the most of everything.'

Apartment Change

2009-02-05T10:17:00.000-08:00

So we haven't even moved in yet and there is a LARGE possibility we are changing apartments already! Here is the story..

So there are these apartments right behind the Jasmine restaurant by the Cottonwood Mall that are very hard to get into because it is such a small apartment complex, you have to have a referral. Well the receptionist at my work lives there right now and she gave me the number of the landlord and when I called about a month ago she had just rented out their available apartment the week before but she would keep me on the list. Well the other place, Cobble Creek, had a place available April 1st and they were putting pressure on because they had "so many calls in the past week" so we took the plunge and put the deposit down... Well go figure the receptionist at my work decided she and her friend (who also lives in the Lindon Apts, the one we want) were moving out April 1st and want us to take over the lease if it works out.. Its 80 sq ft larger and $100 cheaper a month!! UH YEAH!! haha

SO now we are waiting for Jeanette to call us back after she talks to the landlord tonight about how to work out the lease situation... Matt and I went and looked at the place last night and it just felt right, we both saw ourselves living there! And its a 2 bedroom so we will have extra room!! It is just a better situation for us all together! I am hoping that it all falls into place like it feels it should and we can move in in 2 months.. AHHH 2 MONTHS!!! Time flies by when you are stressed! haha

Best part? Other than it being large and homey for us? It is right across the street from the Holladay Fitness and Rec Center
http://www.recreation.slco.org/holladayLions/

I just cant wait to get the ball rolling on this wonderful opportunity!
Keep your fingers crossed for us!!!! :)

15 Maybe's

2009-02-04T13:28:00.000-08:00

15 MAYBE 's

1. Maybe . . . We were supposed to meet the wrong peoplebefore meeting the right one so that, when we finally meetthe right person, we will know how to be grateful for thatgift .

2. Maybe . . . When the door of happiness closes,another opens; but, often times, we look so long at theclosed door that we don't even see the new one which hasbeen opened for us.

3. Maybe . . . It is true that we don't know whatwe have until we lose it, but it is also true that wedon't know what we have been missing until it arrives.

4. Maybe . . . The happiest of people don'tnecessarily have the best of everything; they just make themost of everything that comes along their way.

5. Maybe . . . The brightest future will always bebased on a forgotten past; after all, you can't go onsuccessfully in life until you let go of your past mistakes,failures and heartaches.

6. Maybe . . . You should dream what you want to dream;go where you want to go, be what you want to be, because youhave only one life and one chance to do all the things youdream of and want to do.

7. Maybe . . . There are moments in life when you misssomeone -- a parent, a spouse, a friend, a child -- so muchthat you just want to pick them from your dreams and hugthem for real. So once they are around you, appreciatethem more.

8. Maybe . . . The best kind of friend is the kind youcan sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, andthen walk away feeling like it was the best conversationyou've ever had.

9. Maybe . . . You should always try to put yourself inothers' shoes. If you feel that something could hurtyou, it probably will hurt the other person, too.

10. Maybe . . . You should do something nice for someoneevery single day, even if it is simply to leave them alone.Profound!

11. Maybe . . Giving someone all your love is never anassurance that they will love you back. Don't expectlove in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart; butif it doesn't, be content that it grew in yours.

12. Maybe . . . Happiness waits for all those who cry, allthose who hurt, all those who have searched, and all thosewho have tried, for only they can appreciate the importanceof all the people who have touched their lives .

13. Maybe . . . You shouldn't go for looks; they candeceive; don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Gofor someone who makes you smile, because it takes only asmile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one thatmakes your heart smile .

14. Maybe . . . You should hope for enough happiness tomake you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enoughsorrow to keep you human, and enough hope to make you happy.

15. Maybe . . . You should try to live your life to thefullest because when you were born, you were crying andeveryone around you was smiling but when you die, you can bethe one who is smiling and everyone around you crying.

Maybe . . . You could send this message to those peoplewho mean something to you, to those who have touched yourlife, to those who can and do make you smile when you reallyneed it, to those who make you see the brighter side ofthings when you are really down, and to all those whom youwant to know that you appreciate them and their friendship.

Update for the New Year

2009-01-22T14:51:00.000-08:00

I have been so out of the blogging habit. I dont have pictures but here are a couple things that make me smile for the new year...

I am getting married this year! April 30th will be a good day

Matt and I put a deposit down on our first apartment and we cant wait to move in April 1st! (well one of us of course, but both of us eventually)

And I just cant wait for the year to keep flying by, its going to be a good 2009!

Jason Mraz

2008-11-12T06:29:00.000-08:00

Matt and I went to Jason Mraz in October and we had such a good time, even though both of us were sick.. We took pictures of us while we were waiting for Jason to come out (it took forever!)

This is just a small clip of Jason and the chick that opened for him singing "Lucky". One of my favorites because it reminds me of a certain someone..

Unfortunately my memory card filled up after about 30 seconds so I didnt get a lot of the song. But still it was an amazing concert and we had a great time!!

Time to Spare?

2008-11-10T12:01:00.003-08:00

If you have time I have posted a few pictures for the last couple months! FINALLY!! haha

THRILLER

2008-11-08T09:21:00.000-08:00

THRILLER!!! The night was so fun! We ate at Chiles, went to the show and just had a great time together. Thanks for the awesome night everyone!!!!

Matt apparently wants to kiss the dead zombie girl.. Interesting....

SCAWRY!!

Us at our finest.. haha

Aw they are so cute!

And of course the wonderful sisters of mine.... You two make a very cute couple! haha

Backpacking the Uintas - Duck Lake

2008-11-08T09:10:00.000-08:00

A few weeks ago (well like 4-5) Matt and I and 2 of our friends Tyler and Sara decided to go backpacking up the Uintas before it got too cold.. We ended up hiking for about 2 1/2 hours in the dark to get to a good campsite and the hike was so worth it! In the morning we woke up to a beautiful sunrise and the complete silence of the wilderness. It was amazing! Matt and I decided to to take some pictures while we could with the sun rise and clear glass lake. There are some of him fly fishing and some other shots of us goofing around! And this first picture of us is one of my favorites!

This picture is another of my favorites, they turned out so great, I loved this camping trip!!

These are our good friends Tyler and Sara who we had so much fun eating starbursts, gummy bears and playing Shangai! A version of Phase 10 that is so fun!! We stayed up till 1-2 and just had an amazing time together. And all four of us cramped into a 3 man tent because it was pretty cold outside and it made it more FUN! haha

Barnum & Bailey Do it Again!

2008-11-08T08:56:00.000-08:00

Matt and I took his two nephews, Jonathan and Caleb, to the circus last month (yes it has taken me this long to post pictures haha) and it was such a fun night! These two boys had never gone to the circus, or gone somewhere without their parents. It was so fun to take them and see how fun it was for them to get hopped up on cotton candy!
Even though at the end with about a half our left Caleb kept turning to me and asking when we were going home because it was "dark and past bedtime!" when we got home they couldn't stop talking about it with their parents. It was such a great night, I am so glad we had the chance to take them!

I loved this picture of Matt and Caleb.. He is an amazing Uncle.. And one day may inherit 18 more (19 in APRIL!!!!!)

We loved taking these boys!! It was a fun night for the four of us!

5 Months and Love is all I have to say...

2008-11-07T12:38:00.000-08:00

So this morning I had this overwhelming feeling to just start writing, and it was liberating! Everything that soars through my head constantly just flew into words on my computer. It was me putting my heart out on the line for this one person that has come to mean the world to me and I dont think I realized just how much until I just wrote without thinking and then went back and read it.. So I thought I would post just a small part of it to express how I feel about this person that I have the blessing of being with for as long as humanly possible....

"I love you so much and I know we say it every day multiple times but I don’t have a way to express how much I feel for you, how much I have let myself go to love you fully and the way you deserve. I can’t tell you what you have come to mean to me in just the last 5 months. You are someone I thought only existed in my prayers, a best friend I can count on. You are an angel for me, you are what God has been trying to tell me I am looking for. That is what you are to me, you are the biggest blessing that I have had the opportunity to receive, and you have no idea what that means to me with a past like mine. Matthew Scott Robison, you are truly amazing and someone that makes me exactly who I have wanted to be my whole life. Someone full of confidence and the ability to try new things without fear of failure. You make me think of life in such a different light, in a way that makes me grateful to be here. To smile every day just thinking of you is all I need. I love you, I love everything about you and I would have never thought I would find someone to fit me so well."

Sappy? Maybe. True? So much so it still scares me! And only after 5 months to feel this way, how would it be in 5 years? Or 25? Love is truly an amazing emotion, I will never take it for granted.

Bonfire with Friends

2008-09-14T08:22:00.000-07:00

Friday night Matt and I went up the canyon with one of his best friends James and his cute wife Sarah. We have so much fun with these two, it is great to have so much fun with friends, and Matt finally got up into the mountains! He has been busy with school, work and family stuff that we have not had any time to go up the mountains (if you don't know, Matt would live in the mountains if he could. He loves the mountains as much as I love movies!) Here are a few pictures from the fun night, although I didn't get any of the "intense" game of Phase 10 we played.... Intense I tell you.. Well as intense as you can get with Phase 10 lets be honest!
ENJOY!

Early Birthday Present

2008-08-29T09:45:00.001-07:00

Last night I got the most amazing surprise for my birthday (a week early I know, but I made him tell me!) Matt got tickets to see Wicked in April for my birthday!! I couldn't believe it! I told him I loved the music and that it was coming to Capitol Theatre and he found tickets yesterday for April 28th (I don't want to know how much they were!!).
So to my most amazing boyfriend, I love you to death!!

I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!

Just had to throw in a picture of him lookin all sexy... ;) I am sooo lucky!!!

Webkins Owner at last! haha

2008-08-04T13:56:00.000-07:00

So last night at Matt's family birthday party his two cute nephews (Jonathan and Caleb) came up to us with a Webkins bag that had two animals in it. Caleb handed the alligator to Matt and then pulled out the dog and said "Codye this one is for you!" And shot me his super cute grin!
Tiffani, his sister-in-law, and the boys decided Matt and I needed to join the Webkins fun! So Camy and Emma (and any other cute kids in my family that I am not entirely sure are as addicted as those two are) I am officially a Webkins owner! :)

It was a great party!!!

Cabin Fever

2008-07-10T12:21:00.000-07:00

Although I did not get any pictures from the actual 4th with the fireworks and all it as still one of the best since I got in a water fight with 3 little kids and Matt and I.. Although it ended up somehow being against Matt and I with the hose in the middle of us... Yeah soaked from head to toe! But so much fun I cant complain..
On the 5th we headed up to the wonderfulness that is my cabin with Colt and Abi for some yummy steaks with the parents. And as you can see Abigail loves LOVES picture taking! This is only a select few of the 210 she took in a 4 hour time period... GO ABI!! I love you! We did it all, dinner, park, swings, 3 bears trail, and Log was even able to come up for a while. It wasa great weekend, I can't complain one bit...

..To Risk..

2008-07-03T10:01:00.000-07:00

"To LAUGH is to risk appearing the fool. To WEEP is to risk appearing sentimental. To REACH OUT FOR ANTOHER is to risk involvement. To EXPOSE FEELINGS is to risk exposing your true self. To PLACE YOUR IDEAS, YOUR DREAMS, BEFORE A CROWD is to risk their loss. To LOVE is to risk not being loved in return. To LIVE is to risk dying. To HOPE is to risk despair. To TRY is to risk failure. But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing and is nothing. Only a person who risks is free."

What A Weekend

2008-06-29T00:13:00.000-07:00

This weekend was full of so many fun events with Friday and the Arts Festival, and Saturday morning babysitting cute little Elsie and Bella, followed by a wonderful hike up to watch the sunset... It was the perfect way to end an absolutely great weekend!

Just a few pictures to show the cute girls I got to play with all Saturday morning and the cute bo I got to hang out with quite a bit....

Top 5

2008-06-25T07:00:00.000-07:00

Movies I need to see.. If you have seen any of them please give let me know if I should see it or not.. (well more if you thought it was good, cause lets face it I see every movie even if its gotten terrible reviews) and seeing as Blogger is not letting me upload images I have to do without pictures.

1. You Don't Mess With the Zohan: I have heard mixed reviews on this, but I still want to see it, the preview makes me laugh so hard, but it is very true Adam Sandler has had some major movie flops so it could really go either way.

2. The Love Guru: You cant tell me you dont think this movie looks so entertaining, and its Mike Meyers, he is fantastic. So Im thinking it wont be disappointing. (although I think Jessica Alba is in this and that makes it very hard for me to want to see it, I hate her acting, well and her in general. She is irriating)

3. Kung Fu Panda: I have heard this show is amazing, and Jack Black is so funny I cant stand it. Plus who doesnt like a hilarious cartoon every once and a while.. I may just have to take some nieces and nephews with me, since they will love it almost as much as me! Any takers on that? Let me know!

4. The Happening: This show, as all his movies do, looks so confusing and makes no sense in the preview. But M. Night Shaylaman is an amazing director, so you cant go wrong with one of his shows... Unless it turns out like a Lady in the Water movie, yeah that movie was crappy, I dont recommend it if anyone is wondering.

5. Get Smart: Okay Steve Carrell is one of the greatest actors, I didnt really like him before but after falling in love with The Office and then Dan in Real Life he is one of my faves. This show looks pretty hilarious, I hope its not disappointing!

So there you have it, if you feel like seeing any of these please let me know, I am in need of movie going if you couldnt tell! Now that most of school is done I am wanting to get my movie queen title back! Let me know if you want to go, cause they are all lookin tempting!

Just Thoughts..

2008-06-23T07:28:00.000-07:00

I have been thinking a lot lately about why I feel the way I do, why I get in such a bad mood at work so fast, why I get irritated with certain people that I really should not be irritated with, why I have to have outward approval and significant friendship/relationships to make myself feel better. I dont know why but I do know that for the past month I have started to figure out that controlling your irritated mood at work makes a LIFETIME of difference, realizing you dont have to have anyone's opinion outside yourself matter (even though that is hard for me) because if you approve of yourself then nobody else's opinion matters. I have so much respect for my siblings, they are fearless, and they teach me every day, they are all amazing and look fantastic all the time and I hope I can be like that as I keep going through life. I worry about how I look (as most girls do I know) and how I compare to those around me. I know I will figure out how to get past this, even though it will take time.

I find that I struggle with larger groups, one on one I am great and myself and who I want to be, but get me in a bigger group and I shut down and listen to the conversation without contributing. I know this is not something that is detrimental but it is still something I wish was so different about myself.

I am a worrier and sometimes it gets the best of me. I think I worry most about knowing what I WANT to be and how I am finding the time to GET there. I always find something "more important" or more valid to spend my time on. I know I can reach my fitness goals, and I know I can look the way I want.

As for work, well its a work in progress. I am sick of my position as a receptionist and every day it gets a bit harder to sit here and take crap and deal with everyone. But I got a nice break because of school for the last few weeks, so hopefully I can just get back into the swing of things without too much of the irritated frustration. Or I just need to get really good at faking it! haha

On a lighter note, the last few weeks have been amazing for me, I have been realizing how much of an optimist I can be and more importantly how HAPPY I can be by just being me. I have never had that kind of confidence, of just being myself and being okay with that. I think I got in a rut for quite some time and pessimism took over but the last few weeks it feels like it is melting away, I am smiling, laughing, doing things that I would usually be to afraid to even try but "someone" (yes you all know who) makes me feel like its okay to try anything you want to as long as you have fun along the way.

Sorry for the rant (and its not as eloquent as Chelle) but I just wanted to talk, maybe help that mood at work today cause I am fighting it!!

Masquerade Prom

2008-06-08T18:49:00.000-07:00

So my friend Serena decided to have a masquerade prom night for graduating college with all her dancer friends and some of us non dancer friends. It was such a fun night! Matt and I spent so much time talking and laughing, plus dont you just love getting all dressed up and looking great? I mean it doesnt get much better than that. Here are some pictures of the fun night!

(and just in case you are wondering, our masks got lost by the girl that said she had them for us, so we were the maskless wonders!)

Oh the things we do...

2008-06-04T18:32:00.000-07:00

Oh the things we do! I hiked Mt. Olympus last Saturday to spend time with a cute boy, let me tell you that mountain is not the easiest thing to hike. It was 3.5 miles up, but sooo worth it at the top! I had a campfire dinner night on Friday and Matt was there, we were talking and him and his friend Doug were planning on hiking up Mt. Olympus the next day, which I of course "wanted to do" .... Thinking it wont be that hard to fake that I havent gone hiking in a while.... Rrrright good luck trying to fake that one! But once we got to the top (in 2 hours and 40 minutes thank you) we stayed up there for a good 2 hours just enjoying the quiet, the company, and the view. It was amazing and so worth it to be up there, I would do it again even though it seemed like torture for a while! By the time we got back we were all beat, and very sunburned, so we all took a nap and later that night got together to watch a movie since none of us had energy to do much else. It was a great weekend!!

Quote of the week..

2008-05-19T15:31:00.001-07:00

"Someday everything will make perfect sense but for now laugh at the confusion, smile through the tears and keep reminding yourself that everything happens for a reason."

Slacker..

2008-05-15T07:57:00.000-07:00

So I know I have been a total blogging slacker lately but I have good reason...
Since I got back from my trip I have started my last 18 credits at the U that I have to finish up before I actually get my diploma along with working in the afternoon after class.. Its been quite the stressful week, I am gettin through it though! And dont worry the Disneyland Pictures and stories are on the way when I get a moment to breathe...

I had to post a quick movie review about What Happens in Vegas.. I saw this last night with Brooke and Brad (greatest friends ever!) and I really liked this movie. It did not get great reviews but lets be honest what movies get great reviews these days..
First I have to say that Cameron Diaz is gorgeous, I think she has such a pretty smile and she is a great actress. And as for Ashton Kutcher, I have never been a big fan but after this show I think i am! He is a hottie! I very much enjoyed watching him in this movie. For obvious reasons see picture below....

These two had great chemistry and they were so funny to watch. Their two best friends in the movie were HILARIOUS, there were so many funny lines that made me laugh so hard. I would recommend going to this movie if you have a chance.

Well I better get back to listening to the professor talking about fatherhood, gotta love the only class that was available for me to take to finish up!

HAPPY THURSDAY!!

U of U Alumni at last

2008-05-04T13:45:00.000-07:00

Here are some pics from the fun, exciting, happy day!

GRADUATION!!

2008-05-02T07:00:00.000-07:00

I am graduating today from the U and I am so excited! I don't think it really hit me until last night when I was getting my cap and gown all ready that I am going to be done with school, done with college.. I MADE IT! I wonder sometimes if I am going to miss it, I mean I hate school and grades and homework but not having school anymore may take some getting used to! I am going to be starting my secretarial training at work this summer (even though I still have a few more classes to take to get my diploma) and hopefully start up in a new position at the law firm. That is the hope! I know I can do it, its just learning a new job is always rough at first. Good thing I am a fast learner!!
So to my wonderful University I say goodbye, and as much as I love the U... I AM DONE WITH SCHOOL FOREVER!!!!!!!! .... Unless I decide to do more but that will be a LONG time from now, I need a break!

And with even happier news I am going to be in this castle.. With these princesses (including the new Giselle from Enchanted) in exaclty 5 days!!!!!!!!!!! 5 days and counting, I cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!

Belle is the most amazing I must say

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!

Hmm... Does she look like Amy Adams? Pretty darn close I have to say!

There is my exciting news for the day!!!!

Here is a quick Friday Top 5

5 Things I am going to do this summer...

1: Finish school with flying colors!! After the first 5 weeks of summer this will be a BREEZE

2: Go to NEW YORK!! I hope at least, I have a friend doing an internship out there for the summer and I am hoping to go out there in July. FINALLY going to NY. I have wanted to visit there for as long as I can remember

3: Weekends at the cabin. I love my cabin more than anything and in the summer it is warm and beautiful, I am definitely going up there for some much needed sun time and friend time in the mountains.

4: A lot of hiking and outdoor activities. I have a friend that promised many a hikes this summer. I would add biking to this but that would require buying a bike and tuition, trips to Cali and NY are kinda making a new bike not possible right now...

5: and of course you all guessed it.. MOVIES! There are SO many movies that are coming out this summer (most in May but I still count this summer since school is over) and I will be seeing all of them as you all know since I will forever be the movie queen/buff. But to add to this I am going to be reading a lot too, and not just for school!! I want to read a lot this summer.

Quote of the week...

2008-05-01T08:28:00.000-07:00

So I am thinking a quote of the week, funny or inspiring, is something I am going to do on my blog.. So here is quote #1....

"Guess what? I have flaws. What are they? Oh I donno, I sing in the shower? Sometimes I spend too much time volunteering. Occasionally I'll hit somebody with my car. So sue me-- no, don't sue me. That is opposite the point I'm trying to make."

-Michael Scott

XI GUYS AND THE LUCKY DATES

Lamda Delta Sigma Fraternity

Saturday night was so much fun I can't even tell you. It was full of dinner at Deer Valley Lodge (mmmm soooo good), slideshows of these hilarious group of guys in Xi, dancing and if you can believe it a walk off (like on Zoolander) between all the Xi guys. I had such a great time just laughing and having so much fun.

More pictures to follow when I get my hands on them...

Friday's Top Five

2008-04-18T10:51:00.000-07:00

So I borrowed this idea from my friend Brad. He does Tuesday's Top 10 but I know I would have a hard time with 10 every week so I am going with 5!

Favorite T.V. Shows

5: So You Think You Can Dance

I love this show, the dances suck me in! Allison was my favorite so far, I can remember 2 of her dances that I could not stop watching. They were amazing. She didn't win but I still loved this season! I think this is one of the greatest reality (if thats what you would call it) shows right now.
Definitely next to buy on DVD

4: Heroes

From the first time I watched this show I couldn't stop. I got so into this show, it is very well done and the cast is amazing! Peter Petrelli is one of my favorite charaters (especially when he was in Gilmore Girls MMMMM) I just love the concept of this show and how they put it together.

-This show was tied with Lost but I had to choose this one over it, SORRY LOST!

3: October Road

I love this show since the first episode. I remember watching it at Whitney's house the very first time and we loved it! I was sceptical of the second season but they have done a great job keeping it interesting. I love Nick (Jake in One Tree Hill) in this show, he is soo adorable I cant stand it! If you have not checked this show out, you better!

2: The Office

You have to admit this show is so fantastic, I laugh my head off every episode. Michael Scott gets me every time! I love shows that you can just watch over and over and they never get old. They better keep it up now that it is back on again!!
But I have to admit the Jim/Pam story keeps me coming back every week!!! I just LOVE that story and obviously Jim, he is one of my favorites that is for sure

1: Friends

Of course if you know me you know this is my number 1. I have seen every episode numerous times! I put a picture of the 6th season because the one after Vegas and the one with Unagi are two of my favorite episodes ever! I laugh just as hard watching it now as the first time I saw it. I think they ended this show perfectly. It ended exactly how I would have wanted it to and I love watching this show from the beginning to the end because I fall in love with the characters all over again. I could go on for hours about this show, how much I love it and how embarrassed I would be to admit how many times I have seen each episode.
All time favorite that is for sure!!! Anyone agree?

We're all a little weird

Doesn't that sum it up perfectly? I read that and had to share

Why I Smile....

2008-04-16T08:34:00.000-07:00

So I don't think my family realizes how much I really love these 18 faces. They are the reason I have hope, and the reason I know there is still SOOO much to be grateful for. So here is a little something that I will never forget about these kids...

The Newtons

Linden: Where do I start, she is pretty much the little sister I never had. She and I have been connected at the hip for as long as I can remember, since I was 9 when she was born! Nintendo, movies, HARRY POTTER, and so much more I have in common with this girl. I LOVE YOU!

Camryn: This girl has spunk and I love it! She always gives me a hug without fail every time I see her. Every Hammer on I always carry this girl out to her car when its time to go, this has been going on FOREVER and I love it.

Brandon: Every time I am with Brandon the one thing I notice most is how much I LOVE his voice, he has this little voice that melts my heart. Its not even something I can explain, I will just never forget his voice.

Braden: I love when this guy sits by me, he always cuddles up next to me and wraps his arms around mine. He is such a cute little kid and I love him to death!

Ryan: Wow this baby is gorgeous, and she has this amazingly cute thing she does with her nose when she would start laughing (I will post a picture of it soon) it scrunches up and makes me laugh so hard, I love this baby girl!

The Brains

Emma: Growing up too fast, need I say more? Emma has a way of making me smile every time she hugs me. She makes me never want to let go! She is a sweet loving hearted girl that is so talented.

Jake: When I get the chance to talk to this kid I love LOVE it. He can talk to me for hours and I love every second of it. And he is the most creative minded person I know! He can build, create, and make something out of absolutely nothing. It amazes me, I wish I had a mind like that.

Zach: Warm hearted, always wanting to make EVERYONE feel better and loved. He has a way to make anyone smile, no matter what your mood. He has more energy than he knows how to use!

Catherine: She has her own little defiant personality. She is a princess at heart and always will be!! I will never forget her sweet little voice every Sunday when she comes up to me and says, "Codye I want to borrow one of your movies, can I go in your room and get one?"

The Halls

Josh: First of all I love babysitting this kid. He is so crazy and so fun, I love it! We play Lego Star Wars when I am there and he is really good, I have to follow him and have him tell me what to do!

Lauryn: Aside from us looking like road kill in the middle of the intersection after Princesses on Ice I have so many memories with this girl. One of them was one night when I was over they were going to bed and she kept asking me to be the "monster" like dad does and it was the funnest time chasing them around the house, they laughed and screamed and I loved it!

Clara: Little Clara Bean aka "La La" is such a cute little girl! I love that she carrys the Ariel figurine around I gave them from Disneyland, it is soo cute to know how much she loves Ariel. She has the CUTEST laugh in the world I must say

Ethan: Okay this little guy is the most level tempered laid back baby I know. He rarely cries when I am around him and he has these super cute chubby cheeks that you just want to grab! The biggest smile I have seen and a laugh that will melt your heart.

The SL Hammers

Brandt: This kid is so smart, too smart for his own good. He loves Berks and that in my book is very big! He and I played with Berks at the park, with the rest of the clan, tossing the ball for Berk and Brandt was pretty darn good at it! Berkeley loved it and so did I! So fun to play with him!

Hadlee: First off her hair.. OH MY GOSH it is so pretty, I didnt think I could be jealous of a 3 year olds hair but she has perfect hair! Hadlee is another one of those voices I will never forget, she is such a talker and I could just sit and listen to her for hours!

Elsie: This little monkey is so cute, her smile lights up a room. When she was sick a while ago I got to babysit her and she finally snuggled with me. She layed on my chest and stayed so close for almost an hour and if any of you know her you will know she does NOT sit still, I loved that night, even though she was sick, it was amazing having her lay there.

The Layton Hammers

Ayden: I absolutely love dancing around with this little guy. He is such a genuinly good person! Whenever I am around him he wants me to come and see anything he can show me. He is always grabbing my hand saying come here I want to show you something.. So cute, I can't help but smile when I see him

Sophie: This little peanut has her own little way of doing things, usually gives her mom a run for her money. She has a cute little style of dancing and twirling that makes you just smile and love her to death! Ring around the rosies with this little one is one of my favorite memories!

So there you have it, sorry its so long! I just had to post about these kids and what they mean to me!!

Couldn't Stay Away

So I didn't think I would miss the blogging world when I stopped posting a few months ago but I really do. I love reading my friends blogs and I just started thinking that I need to start it up again too. So here I am, I told you I would be back!
