Oh Gosh!

Oh Gosh!

Has it actually been a whole year (!) since I have last reeeeaaallly blogged? It seems like it was Labor Day last year when I put out a 'real' post. And here we are with another Labor Day weekend under our belt, and a new resolution to catch up and keep up! I have decided that blogging is kind of a creative outlet for me- and the best way I can keep track of some of our best years as a family.

So forgive the next few posts, they will read like those thick long Christmas cards you get every year from some crazy friend of yours that writes a whole page update on each family member including how many cub scout badges they earned. Well, I am about to do the same. Minus the badges. But plus a million other details.

So to start things off, we spent this past Labor Day saying goodbye to summer (yesssssss) with our first trip to a 'professional' baseball game. Well, the San Antonio Missions is as professional as we get around here. It was the first- day- of-school-eve, and a memorable outing!

Rhett was so thrilled with the whole experience, he spent the next few days napping with his ball and glove in hand.

 And I can't get enough of this girl: Nina Lane was our trooper. She just sat there for a whopping 6+ innings. 3 more than what Porter and I counted on.

I wish I could say the same about her first day of school. There was one Robinson kid who was elated to start... and one who was, and still is not so sure...

Can you guess who?

Still Tweeking..

Lately:

Tweeking the blog, searching high and low for my camera charger (grrr), and perfecting the bathtub-do:

Excited about this new season of posting! More to come :)

Labor Day Weekend!

If you would have asked our family what our favorite part of Labor Day weekend was...
Rhett would have said it was the new park he discovered But certainly not his mom hounding him for pictures.
Porter would have said, it was the Ride-the-Pill-Pool-Party we went to (not pictured) and sleeping in. And yes, that is my potty trained-ish son is wearing his sister's diaperNina would have said it was certainly not the slide her mom took her down, but finally overcoming a yucky ear ache (!)
And I would have told you it was our family canoe trip and swim through the river. And how labor-less it was for me-

Oh- and the fact that our computer is back! It's finally repaired and I can get back into blog mode and cover things we missed this summer, like Nina's first birthday! Our trip to South Carolina!

We have 8 years!

Happy Anniversary to us!

Hace Sol

Dang, it's hot outside.

Our garden is a barren dryland thanks to the 100+ temps and ZERO RAIN.

So I thought Rhett and I could improvise and "garden" out of pots.

Did I mention how hot it was?

Well here were the beginnings of some baby tomatoes and zinnia flowers and basil (transfer plant, cheater).

Their sprouts were looking so promising after a week on the kitchen window ledge. That is until I moved them outside to get some real sun. And the real sun dried them out real quick.

Did I mention how hot it is?
