Peach Days

Grandma T and all the kids
Jax did not like the loud noises of the fire trucks but still talks about them to this day.

Maddison and her friends from the float
Daves face speaks a thousand words "Man I can't believe that you missed me run in again"!! He ran it in 53 min 39 sec!! Speedy bullet!!

Peach Days was a few weeks a go and I am a little slow but it was quite an adventure. I woke up with pink eye and not feeling very well and that put a huge kink in the day.

Dave ran the 10k and he did a great job so great that we walked up and saw that he had already finished the race. Shoot one strike for me. Maddison was in the parade doing some cheers and she did a great job! We sat with our friends and Grandma T came up to join us and boy were we grateful that she did. She helped the kids get tonz of candy. It was another great peach days extravaganza!

First Day of Preschool

Yeah the day finally came that Maddison was able to go to preschool. She was asking me every day if that day was the day to go to preschool. She was every excited and so was Jax because he thought that he was going too so he grabbed a backpack and a pair of socks and he was ready. We walked Maddison to school and then to Jax dismay he could not go in with her and boy was he mad. But after a few Oreos and some markers we smoothed things over. My favorite was when Maddison got home and I asked her if she had anything in her back pack and she told me there was some panties in there and I thought to myself wow she is getting an education and free underwear, or that it was a wild day at preschool. I must of made a weird face because she started to laugh and I asked her if she got the underwear from preschool and she laughed even harder and told me they were in there already. Oops next time we will check the new backpack before we head to school next time!

Daddy Day

I went to swiss days this weekend and Dave and the kids had a blast while I was gone. They drove to the top of the mountain to inspiration point and had a picnic, then they went searching for deer, and then they came home and grabbed their fishing poles and went fishing. Then to top off the day they set the tent up in the back yard and slept outside. They have such a great dad they did not even notice I was gone.

Robinson Family Retreat

This weekend we had the first annual Robinson family retreat up in Park City. My parents rented a condo it was a blast. It was like a big sleep over and even though we had separate beds some upstairs some downstairs it was a big open room and we were all together. My brother gave the us the bed time entertainment and we all had some good laughs before we fell asleep. Maddison found a new best friend Aunt Jessica and wanted to play mermaids, tag and had to sit by her every chance she got. Jax followed Uncle Ryan around and I think it was good birth control for them. They said it was like rent a kid they played with them and now they could give them back and go home.:)

We went swimming, went to the Peter Breinholt concert, got glitter toes and went down the alpine slide. My sister and I hung out with my dad while everyone else went down. We were the official photographers!! Thanks for the fun weekend!

LION KING

Maddison and I had the great opportunity to go to Lion King with my mom, Atty and Jessica. It was simply amazing!! The costumes were captivating and the music was intriguing. It is amazing the talent that people have.

Maddison did not blink the whole time she sat on the edge of her seat the whole time and loved it! It was so much fun. We went to the gateway for a few hours and then went to Lion King and after we went to at the cheesecake factory and then did more shopping. It was a blast!

Griffin Family Reunion Video

Here's the video that we showed at the reunion.

Enjoy!

POTTY TRAINING

We did it!! Finally we decided to Potty train Jax and so far it is going well. Yes it seems like it has been the longest week of my life and I am sick of hearing myself ask if anyone has to go to the potty. Not to mention saying if you sit on the potty you will get some M&M's. But once we start there is no stopping!! We started last Monday when we got home from Escalate and he has been doing awesome. We made the sticker chart, we got great toys as incentives and the candy of course we had to have the candy!! I just wanted to say thanks to all those who posted on your blog that you were potty training because that gave me so much motivation!!
