The Robinson's Love the Beach!

We had a GREAT time at the beach! Tessa loved the water and played in the sand and picked up thousands of shells. Jake and Brooks spent each day on the beach for hours and only came in to eat lunch. We also celebrated Jake's birthday at the beach by going to the Dixie Stampede. He loved the horses and the Longhorn Stampede. Tessa called every animal there a dog. She kept saying, "dog...dog...dog" the entire night. We started the week with Justin and Brooks having the stomach virus. We ended the week with me having the virus. We had such a wonderful trip!

Lake Time!

We decided to take the kids and Maddox to the lake to play in the water. We rode around some in the kayak, Tessa played on her inflatable jet ski, and Maddox played in the water and sand. We had so much fun. What a great start to summer.

Playing Outside

With Justin being home in the evenings, we have been able to play outside more. Maddox came to visit last night and LOVED playing in the sand box with Tessa and Jake. Jake and Brooks played baseball with bubbles and Tessa enjoyed watching it all. Brooks managed to avoid the camera again!!! Jake Tessa took a long bubble bath after playing outside.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TESSA!

We had so much fun at Tessa's FIRST birthday party. Tessa's best friends and cousins came to visit and celebrate. She LOVED the cake and cried when I took what was left of it to the trash. The kids played in the sandbox, baby pool, and a small slide. The kids had so much fun. It is so hard to believe that our baby girl is already a year old. After her party with her friends, we went to Grand-Grand and Papa's house to celebrate Brooks and Tessa's birthdays with the rest of the family.

Brooks requested chocolate fondue instead of a birthday cake, so Grand-Grand borrowed a chocolate fountain and made a bunch of goddies to dip in the chocolate. The chocolate fountain was a hit! I can't believe Brooks is 12!!!
