Happy Holidays!!

I love this time of year and I can't wait to get home to Utah to celebrate Christmas with the family. We had a great Thanksgiving weekend. We spent the weekend at Brady and Ambers house and had loads of fun. For some reason I only got two pictures from the whole weekend. (and an extra pic of Schad sporting the Santa hat today)

Swim Lessons

We decided to get Schad in swim lessons as a way to keep him occupied and active during these cold months when we can't go outside and run around as much. Today was his second lesson and it went a lot better than last week although I am not completely convinced that he really likes it that much. Last week was his first time and he was so excited. He did so good except for the fact that the teacher told them while she was working with each child individually that they needed to wait their turn by the wall. She told them that they had to keep one hand on the wall of the pool at all times. Well Schad thought he was funny and he kept taking both hands off and spinning in a circle then grabbing on again. The teacher gave him 3 warnings and then she put him on time out. He was not happy about that. I tried to explain to him after class exactly why she put him on time out and that she wasn't mad at him and she still liked him. He just kept telling me that he didn't want to talk about it. So today when I told him it was time to go back he kind of gave me a hard time, but ended up going with a good attitude. (a little bribery works every time). He seemed to be enjoying it today and he did a really good job and didn't even get in trouble but when he was done he said "I don't want to take swim lessons anymore, I just want to swim with my floaties forever and ever" Ok Schad...whatever!! I told him he needed to finish the 5 week session that we signed up for and then he could decide if he wanted to take them again or try them in a few months. We shall see how it goes. I really want him to stick with it because I think it is good to get him used to the teacher/student environment so he will be ready for preschool. Anyways, here are some pictures of his lessons today.

Happy Halloween

Schad was a boxer this year and he was glad that he could be something cool this year, and not a "sissy animal" like the last 3 years (Adams words not mine). We had trunk or treat with our ward on Friday, and on Halloween we went up to my brothers house so Schady could go trick or treating with his cousins. We had quite the little Halloween party...lots of fun. I love this time of year with so many things to look forward to in the coming months.

This week (Lots of pictures)

For some reason I have taken a lot of pictures this week. And there will be more to come this weekend after Halloween. Here is some things we have been doing this week.
This is Schad with my ipod that I never use. I think I have used it a total of 5 times in the 3 years that I have had it. So Schad has kind of taken it over and has pretty much had it on all week.

Riding his bike in the beautiful fall weather.


Golfing on our putting green.



Schad would not look at me, he was so sick of me taking pictures of him.


Since Schad is pretty much glued to my hip most of the day making dinner is usually a challenge, and he always wants to help which is fine and I usually let him. So today I decided to make something that would be really fun for him so we made this "snakewich" It was supposed to be like a meatball sub in the shape of a snake. It was a fat snake, but Schad had so much fun making it with me. I didn't eat it, but when I asked Adam what he thought of our creation he said "It's a gut bomb" Isn't he sweet?!?




The traditional pumpkin carving shots. Just like last year Schad wanted nothing to do with the inside of the pumpkin, so he just painted his. Just a side note, I just realized that Schad doesn't have pants on in these pictures..not really sure why. I promise I make sure he usually wears pants.

Fun at the Farm...

There is a farm here that lots of people have told me about so we decided to go check it out. Schad was thrilled. We went on a hayride, fed the goats, picked our pumpkins, went on this big slide, and just enjoyed the fun fall weather and being together. Here are some pics of our adventure.


Schad picked this pumpkin out for himself. He liked that it was "green and bumpy"!

Big Slide.

Whats new with the Robisons...

Well not much is new with us. Adam is really enjoying school and doing well in his classes and Schad and I are having a good time being at home together. Schad and I did go to Utah a couple weeks ago, and for some reason I don't have any pictures from our little venture. I guess we were just to busy having fun for me to remember to take pictures. It was fun because two of my bros were there, and also one of my cute little nieces. We visited family, my parents took Schad mini golfing twice, the train ride, made crafts, and lots of other fun stuff. I can't wait to go back at Christmas. I love Utah!!
So here are some pictures of our adventures from tha last few days.

Just playing in Schady's room



Schady/Daddy time
Adam and Schad got these little kits to make little wooden trucks that you paint and then glue together. Schad was thrilled to do this with his dad.






Finished Product


Schad and Adam decided to make a fort tonight. Schad was thrilled with this. I must say that Adam has done exceptionally well at balancing out being the best daddy, the best hubby, and the best student. He amazes me and I am so lucky to have him. Don't get me wrong this whole Medical School thing is really hard, but I have to be honest and say that it is not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Adam really has his priorities in order. We love you Babe!!








Just a cute pic of my Schadder


Me and my best buddy

Boy who never eats his veggies say WHAT?!?

The other night at dinner we had stir fry. When Schad found this out he proceeded to tell me that brocolli hurt his throat, he doesnt like the "red things"(red bell peppers), celery hurt his head, yada yada yada!!! Well after he ate his whole bowl of stir fry he said "Mom, can I have more brocolli and some of those "red things". YAY!! Success...he ate his veggies and he actually liked them!! I just wanted to make note of this momentous occasion!
