'Tis The Season Of Performance

Adele's preschool had a performance at the Dicken's Festival at the Salt Lake City Fairgrounds. She was easily the cutest kid there.

They sang a few songs. Here's a small clip of one.



Elsa had a ballet performance. She did a really good job especially since she's only been doing it for a few months and most people in her class have been doing it for a year or more.

Halloween. All.Month.Long!

With parties, and activities, and school things, we had a LOT of Halloween this year. 

This is Deli's preschool class. They did a little performance of some songs they learned for Halloween for the moms and dads. Adele is the one with the long blond hair. She was Rapunzel for several of her Halloween engagements this year.   

And Ryan was, for work, a jester. Also, I think he said he wanted me to be sure to post a picture of that, so...here he is.

And my group at work: Grammar Police!

All the kids in Delta at the Robison Family Halloween party. We didn't get one on our camera this year where everyone was holding still and looking. My favorite was Hawly's costume. I said, "Oh it's Spider Girl" and she flexed her muscles for me and said, "No I am very strong. I am Spider Woman!" Good for her! 

This was our annual girls' outing (with Julinne) to Witch Fest earlier this month.  

Adelee was the cutest witch there, in my completely objective and unbiased opinion.  

 Just before trick-or-treat time. Notice Adele's costume change. She had already worn her wig for Rapunzel too many times I guess.

 Elsa had her school friends over for a Halloween Dinner.

And in Delta, Ryan did this to Elsa.  

Not very Halloweenish but it sure terrified her poor mother! 

 Then last weekend, we all headed up to the Pumpkin Festival at Heber Valley Railroad. This included a train ride and Ben was more excited, we think, than Ben has ever been about ANYTHING EVER. Every time the whistle blew, he pumped his fist and squealed "Whoo whoo!!!!"

Strong Adele getting her pumpkin to the car all by herself. 

 On the train.

Our house, Halloween night.

Does He Like It Or Not...

It's tough to tell if Ben is a fan of honey or not.

Day at the Zoo

I didn't get very many pictures because I wanted to spend a day with these guys NOT behind a camera lens...

I snuck a few, and Adele asked for the camera to get the sea lions. She took the sea lion picture herself.

Children's Museum

Last weekend we explored the children's museum in Salt Lake.

Is there anything in the world that scares you much more than what it looks like is happening in the picture below?

I realize this is just a parking garage, but it was an ever-increasingly rare sweetness-between-sisters moment, so I captured it. 

♪ Happy Trails..........to Youuuuuuuuuuuu! ♪

I don't have a clue who the little girl in orange is but she is *almost* as cute as the little girl on the horse. 

(Elsa finds horses to be so boring, I guess.)

We did an art project too. 

♫ Goodness Gracious, Great Balls of Fire! ♫

Only mildly less disconcerting than the helicopter. 

Adele's First Day of Preschool

My baby girl hit a milestone today, she is going to preschool this year and today was her first day!

Didn't Elsa just start preschool???

How is time moving so fast?

Ready for Fifth Grade

(But not too happy about it.)

She Sings Too

She's not just a dancer, she likes to sing a little bit too.

Adele and Ben Dancing

We walked into this store and they had Beyoncé playing over the speakers. Adele and Ben thought that it would be a perfect time to practice their routine.

Successful Birthday

We spent the morning on bouncy houses and water slides. No pictures of that because, as we learned, iPhones do not belong near water.

After the day fun, we had some friends and local family for dinner, and of course, according to Ben, the main event of the whole day, cake!!!!

My Boy!

My Girl!

On her way to her hip hop class.

Father's Day Weekend

Elsa spent the weekend with Paul, so it was just us and the little people. 

Here are the Father's Day Shirts. We got lots of comments when we were on the town. They were pretty rockin' shirts. 

Ben and Ryan's say "Little Guy Robison" and "Big Guy Robison". Ryan refuses to wear his to work though...I don't know why. Adele's says "Daddy's Girl Since the Day I was Born" and ain't that the truth?

We hit the Gateway for the day, and as anyone knows, the whole point of the Gateway is to play in the fountain. 

I really like it when these two like each other. 

Summer Cake

Elsa and her friend Sara kicked off the summer and made and decorated this cake.Yes, the sand is brown sugar, and yes, a thick layer of brown sugar on a cake is as good and as sickening as you think it would be.
